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.
钢铁下埋葬着多少年轻的爱情和生命…… 男主好帅，竟然有那么一两分马龙白兰度的影子。
爱情至上也应该有点基本逻辑吧，被爱情冲昏头脑到可以弑亲的程度，什么价值观啊。
经典的东西就留在过去好不好…何必再浪费这么多钱做个大型舞台剧
最后，本片和陀螺的玉面情魔都好长，也许130分钟都更适合。
歌舞场面太美，运镜行云流水，编舞震撼动人，让人不忿为什么评论那么恶劣，拉拉之城连舞步都踉跄怎么就嗨翻了那么多人，一进对白顿时明白了，歌舞有多美，对白就有多烂，沉闷无趣，既不揭示人物内心，也不推动戏剧冲突，就是没完没了嘎嘎嘎的噪音。持续不断喊“说英语”，却没有一句解释说英语的必要，“说英语”是为了宽容、理解，也是当下的政治意义“团结与融合”，不花式剖析清楚，这话就还是一句吵架时蛮横的三字经，讲了那么多废话就不讲一句正题，可气不可气。看这电影像坐过山车，high得猝不及防，down得也猝不及防，导演的功力也就在技术上了，空镜头比人物更有情。选角上必须吐槽Riff，高配版SNL约翰木兰尼，尖锐的嗓音，亲吻女孩之前还得先活动嘴唇像面对难以下咽的菜，他该演喜剧，在喜剧里当一个唱跳达人，就像木兰尼。
不懂一个罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事为什么要拍这么长，虽然是歌舞片但也只有女主哥哥和他女朋友在街上那段好看。
电影很美好 现实很残酷 但看到越来越多亚裔题材就是值得鼓励的 少数族裔要改变既有的stereotype那必须不断站上文娱和政治的舞台 Netflix能再来一个欧阳万成脱口秀吗
如坐针毡的 150 分钟，救命啊那么多值得拍的为什么要选这个，故事烂到离谱，让人想笑，男主像个傻子，用顶级 cinematic 去拍这玩意真想不通。
原版无感，可新版比原版还逊色。人物上，配角比原版上丰满一些，奇诺和假小子有了更多描写，个性更鲜明了，让人能记住，那些小弟也多了几句台词。男女主虽然选角上更符合角色国籍，脸撑不起这个罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事，而且男主音乐剧功底一般。女主唱得好一点，但演技就那样吧，后面唱美国小姐那段很出戏。歌舞片段，大导坐阵，镜头调度、剪辑、服化道布置一流。前期的过渡歌和舞蹈挺合我审美的，但就原版的名场面片段，探讨问题儿童、移民问题、男女主谈婚那几段，比前作逊色不少，失去了最大的亮点。新增的两段不太喜欢，无厘头。剧情上，背景设置更贴合实际，帮派决斗的理由更合理，riff还会买枪了。但最后决斗真的奇葩，男主干掉女主她哥，她哥反而和riff干起来。女主一曲硬是说服刚失去未婚夫的大嫂，她哥得被气到复活。最后结局太平淡了。
虽然是无脑俗套的浪漫爱情戏，却极富现代感且有着很多超出预期的笑点和猝不及防的泪点。女主真美。被网恋中的欺骗深深戳中
斯皮尔伯格的对试听调度的掌控和歌舞编排。在这个歌舞片式微的年代没有多少人还能这么执着地怀旧了。从摄影到打光到编曲都在尽力复古，因此也少见有意思的改编，放在今天不能说不沉闷。American的街头群舞和甲板抢枪两段很绝。之前还想为什么老斯现在觉得有必要选西区故事来翻拍，现在看他大概只是真心想追忆一下过去。女主角真的挺好的也好好看
2021了居然还是有这么俗套的爱情片，有asian face但是和asian没有一毛钱关系，可以当下饭菜看一下，
精彩的齐舞难掩平庸的剧情，尴尬的对白和毫无亮点的角色
两位主角尤其是男主角的演技实在让人无法恭维，简直是肉眼可见的不足。
我觉得还行啊 圣诞温馨浪漫电影 很符合当下的主题 也没有很烂俗
最近就很想看些可可爱爱的圣诞电影。谁不想要个会做手工蜡烛的亚裔男朋友呢～
虽然是cheesy套路完全不真实的圣诞电影，但看着还有点感动…Paxton还是帅的，不过不留胡子更帅
Having the leading actor looking like Jimmy, I really don’t know what to think and what to feel. This is so odd. Is this progress? I am so confused. #颜狗的困惑
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！
瑜不掩瑕 好多瑕剧情 选角导演也是瞎的 耐你是斯皮尔伯格也有拍不好的片子
