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.
家又是什么呢？家是你心里的地方，而不是任何一个实体所在（导演说的）
配乐太妙了……
我对你的爱好像高山上的岩层，过去好几万年，直到回忆变成无人之境，路上的人捡起一块石头，看见上面的远古生命的呼吸。
献给不得不上路的人，脑子里是John Ford，属于这个世纪的“愤怒的葡萄”，虽然“愤怒”几乎消失。
Empire on the road，女主无法定居下来好比卡西无法结束自我放逐做监护人，都是I can't beat it。 路上认识的人因为疾病家园家庭而停下，只有她没有家园也没有羁绊，没有目的也就没有目的地。拍得有些商业化，真底层可能路都上不了，上路的也不是tone都这么悲伤，有些玩户外的小夫妻就是觉得与众不同还省房租美滋滋得很，有情饮水饱。
狂风摧残五月花蕊娇妍
See you down the road.
tv版拼凑。第11~14集→《鼓屋敷篇》。
講的是遊牧，演的是徘徊，徘徊在回憶裡的遊魂，究竟是能逃到哪裡去啊去？
被悲伤孤独抽离后的私人救赎之旅。沿路的同类，兀自的山峦，远方的冷空气。回忆也许美，可是正在飞走对不对。
i'll find someone when i say i want to go to wyoming, he won't ask what's in wyoming? because there's nothing in wyoming, and nothing is still a thing "see you down the road" 想去midwest想去midwest想去midwest 😭
看开头十分钟大概就能知道全程剧情走势的片子
「I’ll see you down the road.」大概是一個心有所屬的人吧，也就對於這樣一個心無歸屬的故事比較無感了。攝影、音樂、演員都表現的很好，尤其是攝影，但文本及敘事步調還是比較難對上頻率，對我來說是一部沒有錯的電影，但也就僅此而已。
3.5吧 下载好几天了 昨晚终于看了 这种催眠类型的片子 不能晚上看 还是要下午看 能理解女主那种孤独而骄傲的独居 但是这样的主题说实话 挺多同类型的
拍得太好了 不过想加一句 Empire NV其实离现代文明真的很近 开车一小时到Reno 而且每年火人节就在旁边 知道了之后略微影响观影体验 矫情化了“孤独”
see you down the road🎇
是部适合放假时安静去看的片子 有的人是Houseless被迫上路 有的人是厌倦城市而叛逆地远行 有的人在沿途寻找生命的意义 有的人看遍世间无常向死而生 很难说好坏 但这都是生活。集会时莎士比亚的诗 “狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残 夏日的勾留何其短暂 休恋那丽日当空 转眼会云雾迷蒙 休叹那百花飘零 摧折于无常的天命 唯有你永恒的夏日常新 你的美貌亦毫发无损 死神也无缘将你幽禁 只要世间仍有人吟诵我的诗篇 这诗就将不朽 永葆你的芳颜” 在路上的人 唯有从生活中提炼些浪漫 才能抵抗沿途的寂寥
两个字：自然。影片的主要元素很美国，房车、公路、营地、流浪等等。但和那些为了反叛或逃避的文青式“在路上”不同，主角的流浪很自然，这就是她的生活本身，尽管她有她的落魄和孤独，但并不可怜。正如她和小女孩说的，她是houseless，而不是homeless
年轻时是冇脚雀仔，年迈后入无依之地，所有的意义答案终究只在路上，足迹只可印在未来。
8.5。以为是社会议题，导演却更侧重精神方面。不是积极或消极如此二元，而是过程和升华。有无尽的自由，也有无尽的孤独。女配角说出的所见之美想起银翼杀手中的名台词，人和仿生人在精神上有了那一刻的共通。
