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.
动画短片拼凑起的电影，可能是不太适应，有点参差不齐，很完整但是总觉得有点不那么完整，很奇怪的感觉……
多加一星，希望未来市场对这种画面风格能给予更多的认可，摆脱现在动画市场对3D化、逼真化、数毛画面的盲目追求，提供多样化选择。
不算太吵闹
七个章节七个故事，能使人拍手大笑也有温暖情节。其中的《哼哈二将》诙谐有趣令我回味，守护天门的二将原是双胞胎兄弟在帐篷中的角色扮演，童趣无穷。每一故事都有其中深意，值得家长带上自己的孩子去细细品味感受。（其实中间睡着了一小会儿dbq）
带着儿子去看的点映，平时活泼好动的他观影的时候“异常”的安静。影片没有喧嚣的冲突打闹，也没有炫目的跨时空幻想。每个小故事都那么的别出心智，孩子的感受是最真实的。看完之后问我：“妈妈，我以后长大了会不会也像小兔子一样离开你了。”我哽咽了下说：“妈妈会永远陪着你。”
美术风格挺好的，但前几个故事好低幼，配音还要棒读严重，都快将我看睡呢……
《翼娃子》6岁以上
观影过程中不时能够听到影院中传来断断续续的吸鼻涕声，不过并没有对我的观影体验造成太大影响，因为我也在这种充满感动的氛围中嘤嘤嘤了。不得不说，感动人的力量，从来都不是卖力的嘶吼、力竭的歌唱，而是如行云流水一般，融化在每一分每一秒的电影镜头里，融化在生命当中……
希望有更多这类画风的国产动画
个人最喜欢小火车和后面偏写实的故事
🤔画面不错，但我觉得故事很普通也很无聊..
小火车那篇，开头小火车摇晃的时候，有一个镜头给到了家里的生活用品。那在暗指四川地震。在片尾最后“有人吗？下面有人吗”跟开头呼应～真的很好的短片
最后总结:能够看出来做得很用心，画面也好看，每个单元都有不同的风格。期待做一个完整的长故事电影，我觉得如果孙莉莉老师的《生蛋快乐》改编成动画电影应该非常欢乐。
我已经看了六遍《爱情神话》了，难道让我去看第七遍吗？
北京电影节看了第二场放映，七个很温暖的小故事，分别也展现了不同的美术风格，超棒~！！！！
感谢毒舌给予观影机会，本以为是给小朋友看的，但六个故事看完觉得不管是小朋友还是大人，都需要温暖和光亮，很治愈很有趣很喜欢💕
少点站在大人角度的回忆会更好 最喜欢第一章
形式上是相当不错的，但是可能受限于篇幅的原因，有些想要深入一点的题材最后还是浮于表面，所以我最喜欢的反而是没什么野心的糖水老伯那part。横店with我自己
萤火虫女孩：奇幻的人与自然和谐相处。
几个简单的故事，简单的画风，勾起不简单的回忆、感动！让人感动的电影就是好电影！
