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.
王心刚遇到孙道临，当然只能是反派了。上海多迷人！2021-10-11彩色修复版，上海更加迷人，但人却没那么迷人了，脸上像涂了厚厚的油彩。死气沉沉的。
男主很帅有点像吴镇宇，或者说吴镇宇有点像他
人物原型是我的校友，还是很自豪的。当年去延安看到的宝塔山可真不像片子里面拍的如此有性意味。。。当然这肯定不是主创的原意。跟风说一句孙道临真帅。“不！我需要工作！”
其实是，希望的游戏。因为坚持到游戏的残酷，所以要提出离开。 众人在现实世界中走了一遭之后，觉得还是游戏好，因为在现实生活中，他们没有希望。在游戏中就算会有生命危险，但也给了他们希望向前。进去的努力。(在这一集当中还埋了伏笔，警察介入了这个游戏，有一个人没有被麻醉打。)
打五星不是说作为电影多么优秀，而且说所有人都该看看记住那些英雄那些事迹。

当黑白画面变得高清而又彩色时，我才知道，李侠离开监狱的那天，兰芬穿得是多么的好看。

好久没看红色老电影了，和父母一起看了这部电影，拍得很感人，真心相信那个年代确实存在着如此这般的革命激情，即使看不到革命胜利的那一天，也要为这一天的到来贡献出自己全部的力量。
孙道临真的是眼里有光，让人相信我们能看到一整个黎明。
比较混乱，很多地方交代不清楚，莫名其妙，到最后也不知道桥到底在哪
在那个不玩特技的年代，讲故事的方式是值得现在很多导演学习的
易烊千玺饰演的万里的成长线真的很让人心疼，战争让一个少年迅速衰老三十岁…
其实它并没有达到我平时打五星的标准，但是为着这我已经很久没有见到的真诚，我想打五星。
我很少给中国影片打五星，为什么？是因为总觉得灵魂的深处的那块地方没有被击中，但是像地道战地雷战杜鹃山这类的电影我都是打五星的，当然还有这部，为什么？因为画面吗？不，那时候的画面根本和现在的没法比，那是因为什么呢？是剧情是老艺术家的表演，当滴滴滴~同志们永别了这句旁白出来后，有多少人希望让时间倒流，让李白同志活下来的，这就是老电影的魅力，而现在随便什么电影能让人有这种感觉的基本上是没有的。
资料馆看的4k彩色版，太红。最后的“同志们，永别了”通过电报发出来，悲壮。要求不高，明年一众主旋律片能拍出这片50%水平就算成功。
片子各方面在老国片里挺不错，剧作上的起伏设计，流畅剪辑的技巧，固然通病也是存在的，但总体上能够让我看进去，并愿意看下去，就此而言本片修复乃至复映的价值是可以肯定的。
之前看时代舞台里面很多这部电影的线索所以这次看到有排片就赶紧抢了。孙道临好像李安哦。这场有蛮多姨姨叔叔的，有几个一直在讲话，不讲武德烦死了。
中国影史经典
老一辈电影人真是帅啊，永远记着那句：同志们，永别了。我想念你们。
