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.
奉劝跟我一样因为funny asian dude 而想看这部片子的朋友们，还是别了
有这个时间，为什么不去再刷一遍法语版的罗朱呢…至少人家歌好听唱得也好听啊…哪来的那么难听的音乐剧，还外加一群破烂嗓子…看到后面就盼着男女主赶紧死了，结果女主居然不殉情！气死个人啊！
故事乏善可陈，可这运镜和打光真的好屌，人剑合一那种
《这个看脸的世界好难》不过最后真爱战胜了颜控233很可爱的一部圣诞电影！很有梗 打破刻板 圣诞电影老梗的基础上反转老梗 非常有趣 写你想写的故事 做你想做的蜡烛 Just be yourself 做真实的自己 面对真实的自己 这世上比起爱情更难找到的是跟你合拍的人啊 结尾有被感动到 欧阳万成这部表现真的可爱 Darren真的适合演这种有点憨憨的帅哥hhh
对于一部歌舞片来说，设计和音美都是中上乘的，但对于叙事来说则力度略微不足，冗长的电影中歌舞占了大多数，使得背景环境和种族矛盾思考力也弱了不少，一增一减之下，中规中矩。
雖然你殺了我哥 但是當晚我依舊要睡你
2.5 maybe a little bit mean，but casting有点勉强呀～
中规中矩的圣诞爱情喜剧片 就是这个颜值差距有点大 虽然说过很多次了 但是nina真的是比起之前垮得太快了 当然现在也是好看的
【7.5】没看过原作，就是爱情在现实环境下如此之难的那点事，毕竟是老故事了。又是一次精致的怀旧，技术层面基本无可挑剔，评分可见国内外文化差异之大，对部分国内观众来说，可能没什么可以再吸收、共鸣的元素，相当于看了个寂寞。
对这个百老汇经典剧目改编充满期待。男女主表现算不上差劲，可是越看越抽离，最后实在坚持不下去。
继续跟歌舞剧有仇 PS 你哥被杀了当晚就跟凶手上床？？
想起大卫伯德维尔吐槽，相比港片，好莱坞的黑帮火并戏就像三明治，三板斧，机位很少，看起来就是扭打在一起，毫无美感和张力，眼前就是个反面典型，而且丝毫不肯脱离舞台剧的外壳，把舞台剧的走位分毫不差地嵌入到电影实在违和，五六十年代的故事放到现在看更加奇特，和刚杀了自己兄长的男友啪啪，又把嫂子置于更危险的境地，这不是绿茶吗…
男主rif对比老版毫无男性气概，声音又难听，鲨鱼帮老大也不如老版的有气质。实在是年度翻拍灾难。
年度大灾难，是有几场戏的编排不错，比如说舞会，还有抢枪什么的，其他部分简直尬出天际，很多镜头都不知道是在拍爱情片还是同性电影...音乐片真的是退环境了，没有《倒数时刻》《爱乐之城》这种音乐工作作为故事背景的话，一言不合就尬舞的效果可能还不如宝莱坞。斯皮尔伯格的最佳导演提名倒是实至名归，毕竟要不是他的编排，这个片子可能第一场戏就直接降到1星了，如此垃圾的剧本，谁都救不活啊。
尽管现在好莱坞力求斩断直男/女审美，甚至不惜让妮娜和欧阳在结尾成为一对，展示diversity的美好，但真实的社会和好莱坞之间的沟壑越来越远。妮娜不会和欧阳成为一对，asian male依然在dating app的最底端，all they have is "good guy" and "nice guy"。不要问我是怎么知道的，dating app 只看身材和脸 -> winners take all
哈哈哈哈哈天呐夭寿啦，欧阳万成洗脑成功吸血鬼日记女主啦。
12.6 IMAX点映，前面半小时4个主创加老爷子Q&A，老头子说坚持不给西班牙语加字幕，这样才是尊重这个语言的做法，听不懂就去感受语言传达的情感。总共有3万多casting的视频，选角导演看了很久至少三个月，初选再拿去给斯皮尔伯格看，老头子开玩笑说如果你提交了视频没被选上那都是选角导演的锅。点映，场面还是大的，就是坐的高看IMAX推景略头晕。最后一人送了个迷你海报做纪念。
大多数人想要找的是可以一起周末早上看报纸的人，但是女主要找的是能一起偷报纸的人。笑不活了。报纸📰：请问你礼貌吗？
搞不懂斯皮尔伯格为啥要翻拍西区故事，新版比起60年前的老版，不但唱的不行，跳的不行，编剧不行，视效不行，摄剪音不行，服化道不行，而且演员还又丑又笨，据说成本超1亿美元，就为了凸现最后一刻的族裔和解？
但本身剧本没有大改动，像是斯皮尔伯格对于西区故事原剧作的致敬，但太过保守，舞台味过浓，电影感太少。
