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.
要啥有啥，有始有终，最近看到的里面不错的剧情片了。2021/11/12大森家
讲故事的方式还不错，细节和情感都处理的挺好。
尽管用强劲的音乐来烘托出紧迫感，可是也很难掩盖剧情的弱智，情节拖沓就不说了，从开头就毫无逻辑，一个女人一把枪可以在有三个出口的房子里阻挡了全副武装的警察的进攻，神仙都没她厉害呢，中间还有时间各种直播，我只能说这是一部搞笑片。
对于犯过错的人来说，社会只是个大点的监狱，而偏见是围困他们的铁笼。7
但最后对质的戏码还是精彩的，也为印度所有受压迫而反抗的女性发声，还是值得鼓励的。
为了反映一个社会问题，印度编剧也真是拼了，脑洞大开。虽然谈不上悬念，一句话的来龙去脉，但还是精彩！
这个国家的人装聋作哑，除非你对他们大喊大叫。
我以为剧情会是，通过制造轰动为自己寻求正义完成复仇，没想到会是，通过制造轰动以求改变立法和体制，为所有女性寻求正义施以保护。格局大开。结尾的统计触目惊心，泣血的哭嚎可曾有人听到？为何要把女性逼到如此地步？印度已经开始觉醒，而我们还在被捂嘴，此途漫漫，看不到终点。
故事并没有心意，导演也用尽套路，只是，一个敢直面自己社会问题的国家，是值得尊重的，电影三颗星，加两颗星，是给希望！
但是说不定看故事的我们中的某一个
印度这些年的发展速度可以从少了载歌载舞的电影，和奈飞上的一些剧就能看得出来。虽然两极分化是常态，但看得出来富人的生活其实挺潇洒。说回电影本身，故事其实是老套的，意义却是重要的，唯一值得吐槽的其实反而是配乐，故意搞得很紧张其实啥都没，突然又低落缓慢的不合常理。
能铺垫80分钟还不知道到底要干嘛的谜面就像是先看了一集明星大侦探，还好女总理的一句“Emotions can be assets”和对性别刻板印象的反击总算让人觉得来了点劲。而那个关于强奸的谜底则在母亲的一句反问中完全揭晓，后面的紧张甚至和总理面谈的高潮也变成了可预见的补充。对印度社会问题和女性困境的直击，以及对女警察、女总理、女主播和母亲等女性角色的着力没能挽回叙事节奏的失衡。
故事就三星，演技真的一来就很沉重。可以带入进去，20年，付出的东西，一个拥抱她就无缘无悔吗？
8 women have been raped in our country.
电影分享会推荐的2022印度新片，可与《摔跤》和《厕所》媲美。只要敢于直面尖锐的、敏感的社会问题，敢于揭露社会的黑暗面，这个民族就会逐渐好起来，这方面，印度和韩国都还是可以的。
就是一点不明白，五岁孩子失手杀人，根据法律该如何裁定责任？监管人该承担什么责任？这个悲剧能在多大程度上避免？
对Naina的一句话印象深刻: Do we just deserve a fucking candle march? 当悲剧发生的时候，政府又做了什么呢？不负责的警察，惩罚力度欠缺的法律，对受害者的忽视，只追表面报道误导大众的媒体……
可悲
很适合珊卓 故事简单 没有深度讨论 结局恍然大悟 影片只是呈现了一种状态 揭示了阶层的命运 很好 比天注定这种影片的表达更为含蓄自信 就是色调很头痛 时不时还会瞬间翻绿 这是在暗示铁锈区的命运么
电影都只是美好结局
