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.
大概有三场戏比较好，对比挺浅显的，其它没什么了。我觉察出一种对使用工具的脆弱的温情，这也许就是文化人的爱吧，宛如萌宠vlog。
3.5 不要去歌功颂德或者粉饰太平，这个世界上所有人的生活都改变了而且再也回不去了。这样就是这样。
在一颦一笑中溺死，少了清冷疏离，多了温柔真诚，美到失语，阳光也偏爱。女神在洪导的摄像机前越来越松弛自然了，让我们说谢谢洪导，无所谓世俗，请你们一直甜下去。
洪常秀影片的魅力很大程度上来源于对日常状态下人物“情绪异动”的瞬间把握，又是一通尬聊闲聊无聊偶然街角长镜惯用的洪氏黑白叙事调调且御用小姐公婆总是拿奖到手软。
不是爱情吧，是对阿兹海默患者怀有善意的同情，是凌晨联手处理突发情况的战友情，以及同是被遗忘群体的共情
有些人就嗯吹吧，我寻思中国养老院也没被zf抛下不管吧？真要觉得我国防疫也烂，那你嘤爹也还是赢不了啊，真要觉得我国不允许拍这种电影，那你得先让zf执政能力低下，然后再制造点事实基础呗，总不能胡编乱造吧？
真实到以为再看纪录片，那段20分钟左右的长镜头看的人全程仿佛被扼住喉咙一样窒息，片子好几处浅焦镜头，给女主怼脸拍的特写你能清楚的看她每一个细微的表情变化，而急促的呼吸声仿佛就在你耳边回响一样，浅焦镜头虚化的部分更传达一种强烈的不安感，把那种无助慌张怜悯的情绪也渗入你的骨髓达到共情。女主演技炸裂！！！从此也爱上朱迪科默~☺️
起初摄影机连同观众的眼神一起像是茫然的，缓缓拉近，摆出一幅用心地端详的姿态，疑惑并未因此减弱，但过后回望当初，无言的手语已经昭示着这日常的连锁的开端，那些空白也逐渐充盈起来
结尾女主对着镜头不断质问，在某些程度上，世界也差劲得如此大同。无法对抗病毒、无法对抗体制，有时候甚至连身边的人都无法拯救，绝望层层坠落，最终掉在每一个普通人得头上。又一部被片名耽误的好电影。
很难再给洪的电影打五星，从实验性陷入（带点贬义的）私人，可观影体验总还是美妙
导演 “Vlog”拍完啦 他们的社交真的完完全全韩国社会的拐弯抹角说话方式 尴尬就笑 十句里八九句都在互夸 害 但当自己在用韩语说话也会不知不觉以该标准的方式来对话
情境的建构vs真实的爱，洪导的理念还挺贴我心的
大段大段的对白，长镜头，极其流畅自然的日常对话。金敏喜不拍电影，谁也管不着哈。
类似的题材，有人是在给你讲述一个故事，有人却是在给你洗脑
看的第一部洪常秀，本来还怕看不进去，试试却意外地对胃口。用对白串联碎片化的故事情节，用黑白铺垫最后的色彩，固定机位下的电影画面如同是小说文字的直观呈现。小说家的电影，虽然单调，但还挺浪漫的。

hhhh单说电影比较喜欢喝酒前的部分，但最后的结尾！攒动着爱意。这是一封导演给金敏喜的情书，像阿萨亚斯拍曼玉，戈达尔拍安娜，爱～～就是在流动啊，我还是被这种真实的情感打动了。（有些人就是有“魅力”，这个词在电影中反复提到，她确实有，我被美晕了…
看洪常秀，一种仪式。地球不爆炸，老洪不放假
第1600部电影。完全在舒适圈内的创作，初看洪影片时对其语言的新奇感如今没有了，两位爱得迷醉，不知道还能这样拍多久，可能也是我变迟钝了吧。告诫自己：要虔诚地尝试进入。
