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.
蹄小花金牌電影推薦 慢條斯理的在一個美好的環境裡的鬥智鬥勇 世事無常 人心莫測
小时候看了好几遍呢，三个狐狸精的人物形象真的好鲜明啊
在我心目中，这部确实是第一。动画长片中，中国文化载体的顶峰。
当官的家人是坏的。
#春日荐片季##电影二创榜#
开幕黄色字体让我想到了低俗小说 但音乐又让我感觉像是希区柯克的惊魂记
这样伪科学、反廉政、毁三观的动画真的适合孩子看吗？
故弄玄虚 差火候 气氛不够惊悚诡异 结局也是意料之中 论盗贼选鞋的重要性 莉莉柯林斯真的美
每一帧胶片修复的都是光影与时间。
因为结局是这样我还是加了一星，两只狐狸跳舞那段可能是葫芦娃里宴会的雏形，玉帝垃圾应该是天庭反骨人的统一共识吧！袁工可以说是中国普罗米修斯。
很有意思的故事，很古典的鋪陳，有點希區柯克的影子，慢慢地講一個並沒有尖銳矛盾衝突的故事，但能讓人一直想看下去。
为什么我们坏人就不配用火呢？我们得到火种也是会高兴地跳舞的呀
我特爱看。从小就记住一句。人不可貌相。海水不可斗量。
🎭演员表现：
好有趣的人物设计啊，造型、动作都超有想象力，“我是他爸爸”那一段笑尿了，现在看还挺有讽刺意味，爸爸不能太多，一个就足够，但不能一个都没有。那时候还有对权贵的嘲讽，现在是不可能有了。袁公很理想主义啊。片尾十分钟幕后故事很好看！
优秀的有点诡异的动画，老狐狸，俏狐狸，单腿狐狸。
杰西普莱蒙越来越比马特达蒙强大。不要剥夺女人的自信心，要听她说话，要把她放在眼里心里，不然就是几枪、几下板，终结一切，走自己的路。
简直好看到哭，大片feel不解释，没想到30年前的国产动画就这样没有一丝丝防备的戳中了我，无论是画风，剧情，配音，配乐，丝毫不输日漫和梦工厂蓝天皮克斯们，爱死了
当官的手下是坏的，
在那个物质最匮乏的年代里，这些最可敬、可爱、才华横溢的动画艺术家们创作出了最杰出的文艺作品。也许当时的人们身体是空虚的，但他们的精神却绝不像今天我们这一代人一般饥饿。
