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.
因为突然发现我有点讨厌女主，所以又去把法国版剧情找出来刷了一遍。美版给女主谈恋爱的情节太多笔墨，对家人的感情也基本一直处于对抗和想逃脱的情绪，显得自私且不负责任。这导致后面的和解和转变非常生硬。相比之下法国版更多是靠误会创造冲突，至少每个人看起来都是在为对方着想。
一个温暖、平和的故事，把残障家庭生活、少女成长、青春期恋情很好地融合在一起，感情真挚，有笑有泪。鲁比的家庭成员实在是太有趣，贡献了全片的笑点，和谐的家庭关系也是影片着重强调的主题。前半段吸引人，后半段一些桥段还是老套，虽然亲情和残障元素可以使人感动，但如此好题材只是以如此情节收尾还是令人感到略有遗憾。本片斩获奥斯卡最佳影片实让我感叹现在奥斯卡水平之低。
4.5星。什么是学问？这就是。水墨风多加0.5星。
“我要是瞎,你就该想画画了.”这么自我为中心,这是亲妈说出来的话?！后面讲啥都圆不回来了。

近几年看过的最好的韩国电影，甚至可以说最好的电影。看完以后心情复杂：我们有《论语》、我们有古诗·绝句、我们有“悠久的历史·灿烂的文化”，但这样内容精彩令人回味无穷的电影，又是人家隔壁的......
当然，困难都是制造出来的，可还是如此打动人心，想把原版的看一遍，又有点不想看了。我要哭瞎了……
比预想要丰富很多，有偏隅渔村的闲情雅趣，中西贯通的思想花火，还有虚怀若谷、安之若素的人生智慧。推荐理想主义者看看，读了那么多书，道理都懂，就更应当能过好生活，不能兼济天下时，就学会在至暗之处感受生命的蓬勃鲜活。谈恋爱不如跳舞，殉道不如研究海鲜。
哭的不行😭剧情预想之中的感人、励志，但是Oscar最佳影片倒是不至于吧……

可能是年纪大了，一部温情小品，又感动到稀里哗啦。但是这个剧本和题材真的太催泪。感谢编导，借着女主角，带我们走入聋哑人的世界，让我们看到太多的不平等和隔阂，也对充满爱、理解和包容的世界心存希冀。
用抽不开身作为最大的摇摆麻烦
如平静的海面上洒落的阳光一般温暖，几段音乐桥段挺动人，音乐会无声的表演，父亲抚摸着女儿的喉部听歌，以及最后带着手语的入学考试。主题跟法版区别不大，本地化做得也挺融合，女主角的表演很有灵气。稍有不足的是选歌质量，音乐本身的打动力没有跟上电影的情绪。
好电影！！！这个电影让我立刻想要建了一个新的片单 然后命名曰：“What is love？/何为爱”
20220302le。新瓶旧酒的陈词滥调。3.5

美版翻拍，聋哑视角的duet如此催泪，无声胜有声。我们的声音传不到彼此的世界里，我们的爱意却温暖彼此的手掌心
可以做的改动：女儿拒绝打第二句的时候，老师却打对了手语。
掉了也就一公斤眼泪8，看完深刻了解了为什么英文字聋人一词总是以D/deaf出现，大写的D是身份认同，是他们自己的文化，爸爸爷爷太爷爷，一代又一代的聋人打渔为生，到了现在这个社会反而行不通了，因为法律法规根本就把非“正常”的人排除在外。
奥斯卡到底还是好莱坞自己的奖而不是全球性的，含金量越来越低，也越来越被zzzq牵着鼻子当犬遛。
