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.
1. 原来troye sivan这么帅;2. 原来troye sivan演技还挺自然XD电影本身很简单,但可能也是因为简单,有难得的干净
我已经忘了多久没看中文字幕了,没办法,承认不看字幕听不懂这夹杂古英语的台词,尤其还是戏剧那种大段大段的独白。well有点神棍,那种宿命预言的,还是蛮感触的,其实还是Macbeth有点怂,我感觉,一边贪恋权力一方面还要装作君子,bluh,不过没办法,毕竟是tragedy。另外就是这个黑白片了,not a fan,so, 这个就有点那种刻意retro吧,不过我还是喜欢彩色,不过某些画面,确实是刻意的,能感觉到,应该会摄影的人或是懂的人能欣赏到吧。另外就是,Macbeth刚开始没咋觉得,后面开始莎人时,我就串戏了,DW还是那个DW。口音方面,听着很舒服,毕竟是美音,不用装奇怪的英音lol。演员嘛黑白电影真的分不出来,除非看头发,不然我真的分不出来。but whatever
OH MY Troye.谁不怀念放荡不羁爱自由 敢爱敢恨的少年时代呢?!
泰剧迷app yyds,剧情无删减,资源又丰富。
科恩哥哥的單飛作,竟然看不到多少科恩兄弟的痕跡,更像是一首寫給Ingmar Bergman的情詩,在保留強烈舞台感的同時又電影感十足,充滿著疏離感。黑白攝影實在太美了,可以想象如果是影院、尤其是杜比影院觀看,該是如何驚為天人。
看着发觉是《蜘蛛巢城》的剧本,而后才想起蜘蛛是黑泽明改编自莎士比亚的麦克白。隽永经典的剧本,权力跟财富是人类永远追逐相争的悲剧。黑白的摄影刻意舞台剧化,黑人演员占据主要角色,种种改变重塑经典,有新意没突破。
挺好看的表现主义抽象舞台布景复古黑白片,为什么老是出现黑人,别政治正确了行不行恶心
婚后日常更甜了如此自然顺畅毫无违和感的番外剧情已经不多了74分钟后是幕后竟然也这么甜小加竟然像个老司机小一就很害羞不想结束啊什么时候四搭明天上班穿最好看的衣服你不怕别人打我主意明天戴眼镜不许脱下来头发不许定型穿最难看的衣服衬衫质量真好L那么粗暴还是没有撕完永远不要让人看到你化妆或穿这件衬衫这件衬衫是你给我买的你买的时候说我说我想脱掉它但现在我想撕碎它F的眉毛化妆师发挥总是很不稳定泰国菜看着毫无食欲不管过了多久你还是那样盯着他转身让我吻你你会遇到漂亮女人英俊男人但我已经拥有既英俊又漂亮的人了3年后我惊了2年没回泰可还行准外交官大哥商业小王子弟弟你真可爱我总是很甜猫猫学长和LF在一架飞机上
看这部电影的时候很难不想起奥森·威尔斯的版本,两位导演都采用的黑白画面,也都依靠高度抽象的场景布置,受限于条件,威尔斯的剧场痕迹更重一些,镜头在剧场里,而科恩则没有这个问题,剧场在镜头里。
极简主义的摄影,宗教般神秘主义的构图,彰显出强烈的隐喻和张力,每一帧的画面都令人折服。
拍得好美,戳也好美,就是剧情like a shit
色调镜头都挺喜欢的,可能是有戳戳的加成在里面吧
我总恍惚觉得这是一次对黑泽明奇妙的告白。另外全片我最喜欢的部分都是三女巫的戏份。
两位主演的演技实在太强,不知道为什么科恩嫂没奥提,真的是这届奥斯卡中最佳演技。以及绝佳的摄影灯光和布景。全片剧本几乎将经典的莎士比亚的呈现出来并未做过多改编,但又有点直白和简单…
更喜欢贾斯汀·库泽尔的《麦克白》,但是这种极简主义的舞台剧风格也非常迷人,尤其是摄影、美术的艺术造诣让人拍手叫绝,包括那专属于A24电影的诡谲之气。
戳的颜依旧抗打,梦回蓝邻居时期。剧情老套,印度小哥很出戏。
没有预想的好,故事很平淡,但是充满夏日气息的高饱和度画面,和回春的戳爷散发出的少年感,真是赏心悦目

形式上大作文章,从简式的舞台风,莎翁的经典台词更加重这种舞台感,摄影与布光很强,科恩嫂的表演也可以,但内容还是太敷衍了,和《蜘蛛巢城》一比的话,就更显其次,差还不止一点,科恩兄弟还是得两兄弟一起才行啊
第五个麦克白!开头女巫过分可怕,半夜刺杀那一幕也真实的可怕;denzel好镇定啊,称王跳脚那段算是一个情绪小高潮了;最后打戏颇英雄,不过是黑白的叶子;把莎士比亚缺的预言里的儿子线补上来了;片子stage感很强,像一个童话寓言,感觉会适合做成蒂姆伯顿式动画;hollow crown
