Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
我抑郁症发作的时候，也希望可以变成这种人见人爱、好友抱抱的小熊猫啊！
4.5。1.疫情之下最正常的电影，青春期的叛逆与成长的主题被包裹在魔法、变身的外壳里，这是典型的皮克斯动画作品。2.未成年之前生活在父母的规训之下，成年工作之后生活在社会与法人组织的规训之下，这是大陆一代又一代人的真实写照。3.为人父母，接受孩子的不完美，为人子女，追求自由，努力做最一个真自己。
看了讨论区后决定打四星 二极管丧尸们赶紧炸了吧
电影故事一般，但，还是那句话，小熊猫超萌的……
制作上pixar从来不让人失望，这一家子小熊猫实在太萌，完全无法抵挡，两眼冒星星。华裔元素也恰如其分，完全不夸张也没有太刻意，相当舒服。主题嘛pixar也从来不往大了走，只是这次的表达有点浅了，有家人关系和自我表达，也加入了华人家庭的一丢丢死要面子的特点，不过我总觉得有点两边不靠，略敷衍了，pixar不常见的低龄化观感。这只华裔小熊猫不能在天朝院线上映实属可惜。
看的时候心中一阵惊恐，那个妈妈跟我妈一样一样的，太可怕了，被支配了一辈子……
哪一个东雅女孩不是这样被规训着长大的，母亲也曾经是叛逆的少女。母女和解那段我爆哭😭

对于东亚女性来说很难相信最后的结局……too cruel to fall for it……

傻白甜
奇怪的片子，大部分时间觉得很无聊，可眼泪还是照流。
P.S. 于3.12晚观影，当日刚结束教资考试，身心俱疲，脑子里就总浮现一个知识点：素质教育是要促进个性发展的......所以才会有如上感想。
妈妈曾经也是个穿着JK制服的少女，她的熊猫最大只，可能因为压抑得最厉害
中间很感动，又有多少人选择抛弃心中那只猛兽呢
形象设计很棒，设定也有意思，但是故事的水准真的比皮克斯的平均水平差太多了。感觉导演被自己母亲控制欲荼毒太深，反而无法在这个主题上顺畅地展开。重头戏完全没有情感着力点，乱成一团了。
(●￣(ｴ)￣●) 成长是怪兽，可怕又可爱
塑造自己母亲为反派，刻板化亚裔家庭，鼓动所谓自由性格。突然想起周围总有人说工作后就不靠父母之类云云，有本事买房买车结婚都不靠，没学到欧美的经济独立，到学到欧美的叛逆，可笑。
凑合看完. 老美是想拍熊猫不敢拍,最后换成小熊猫的吧....
女性的情绪化=红熊猫？接受它，它是你的一部分。
