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.
第二部双线发展，法国那部分非常好，狗血、喜剧、煽情，甚至加上了一点小悬疑，是一如既往的唐顿味道。大宅部分的剧情从女演员的自白到Molesely的写剧本天赋到Lady Marry配音都很刻意。尤其是Marry和导演那堪称画蛇添足的感情线，当她说出“in a way, you remind me of him.”的时候，作为老粉的我感到了莫大的不适。
影院重新开门终于让我看到这一部。他们一切都好，已是最好。
从婚礼到葬礼，大幕落下，是观众还舍不得这个戏吧
如果没有记错的话，《唐顿庄园1》是我疫情前最后一部电影
ps.巴罗的同性戏份又内陆影院被剪光了🆘
每个人都在成长，情愿或者不情愿地迎接着时代的变化，除却一些过于刻意的安排，总体挺有意思的。
制作幕后班底要继续以电影的形式拍下去。就算已有巨大的故事体量，似乎也不愿戛然美好而止，那只好这样了。
The end of a fairy tale.
强弩之末（症候过于明显，用无声转有声片暗示今天的covid变迁造成的失业）（只提了一句1919的西班牙大流感，但胜过千言万语）
3.5，同性恋的剧情应该被剪掉了…电视剧质感还是很浓厚，上一部的问题在这一部大体也依旧存在，当然这一部也不是没什么可取之处，至少基本上是围绕拍电影+老夫人的别墅继承这两条故事线叙述，看起来还有点谱，至少观感没那么乱七八糟了，结尾也能有个交代，这个系列进行到这倒也不遗憾了吧。
老钱们带着历史的积淀始终从容优雅，但也无法躲过历史的滚滚车轮，看似体面的大宅子楼顶用塑料盆接水，死亡悄然降临；默剧时代的红人们害怕有声时代的到来，在银幕前露怯的声音在现实生活里拼命掩饰，转化成肢体与行动上的利剑去伤害更弱小的人们，在最后的大美满里感受到了一丝丝的无聊，但还是为唐家屯所温暖。（托马斯的戏份被删减，所以最后的离开显得如此突兀，2022年审查的忧伤）
两年前自己一个人无奈之下买了情侣座看唐顿庄园，一对年过半百的恋人携手来看，对角色剧情非常熟悉，一看就是铁粉。当时的自己很羡慕这样的状态，当时的自己也没有料到两年后唐顿2时会遇到自己的另一半，跟他携手走进影院。时间真的会改变和疗愈一切，以及，没有电影的情人节是不完整的。
Bravo
2012年5月标记了第一季唐顿庄园，十年后在大屏幕见证着属于唐顿庄园的时代落下帷幕：
穿着戏服岁月静好地过家家，那就好好告个别吧。试图在时间的灰尘里看到优雅。有些可以move on，可有些注定老去。新时代来了，不如适时停下，在破碎的时代来临前，葬礼与新生，或许是这个童话最好的结局
始于颜值，终于老太太的演技，其余都不剩下什么了~
用婚礼开场，用丧礼做尾，不温不火的英伦庄园群戏，说不上多么出彩，倒也是最近少有的赏心悦目之作
我永远爱唐顿！意料之中的伤感结局，老夫人的离去真真正正地标志了一个时代以及唐顿这个系列（hope not）的落幕，但唐顿仍是英国乃至全世界最出色的时代影视ip之一
故事基本上就是两件事一个别人送的房子和进唐顿拍电影
没什么狗血剧情，平和欢乐。10多年了，也可以结束了。
