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.
男主妈妈开明的让人心疼，在生命的弥留之际，还不忘记告诉自己的儿子，要追寻自己心中所向往的地方。
服道化挺考究的，也没有打扮的特别浮夸，都很正常，这种正常已经很难得了
很不错的电影，让我看到了平凡人的不平凡之处，在主角身上能看到很多我和身边人的影子。
韩老师中间经历多种困难，尤其是任教三年，母亲病重，孩子们以为韩老师不会回来了，内心仍然充满期待
虽然很俗套但我就吃这套啊，老师在梅朵的歌声中动心，也在歌声中安稳的离开人世，好浪漫！
很满意的一个平凡人的不平凡的一生，也许我们的生活没那么多精彩，但我们活的很真实
佩服那些坚定的为他人着想贡献的人，这种比做坏人更需要有坚定的信念，更困难万倍啊！
说实话一开始很排斥这样的电影里面还有感情戏，但是到最后真的被韩老师和女主的爱情打动了，他们都太无私了
韩松老师上课好有趣，尤其是模仿外国人买包子的场景，笑死我了。
没看够的说，来个第二部讲讲以后的故事也行，但是感情戏就没必要了
喜欢这样风格的电影，特别是藏区的大草原，有生之年一定要看看，现在电影里看过了，等现实里一定要走一遭
很少看这类电影，感觉风景很不错就点开看看，没想到发现了宝藏，很有风土人情的一部电影。
男主的母亲也很开明，他没有将男主局限在自认为很好的条件下，而是放任他去追寻自己想要生活的地方，只可惜最后都没能看到自己儿子成家
挺好看，但总觉得差点意思。主角身边发生的很多小故事组成了整部电影，但每个故事都是浅尝辄止，一开头就结束，没有特别突出的重点，挠不到痒处。韩老师和梅朵的感情也令人有啊果然如此的感觉。。。
正沉浸在支教的感动和对草原美景的震撼中，看到一条弹幕“这里的人这么单纯只是因为没有接触到外面复杂的世界”。突然就感动不起来了，单纯的人性和复杂的世界在一起，好像才更令人动容。
虽然是支教题材，但如果当作简单的风光片看效果就还可以
一波三折的剧情真的让我内心也跟着跌宕起伏了，不过还好，后来的结局是好的，男主和女主也在一起了
故事发展的太快，短短两个小时就演绎完了一个人的一辈子，有点意犹未尽
下雨了孩子们还不忘记帮助老师把桌子挪开，看着真的心疼，孩子们也真的很纯真懂事
特效一般甚至是减分项，狼和枪战那里都让人出戏，一旦违和出戏就完全沉浸不进剧情里了
