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.
美化了记忆 淡化了伤痕
不咋好看，主要是男女主太没有cp感了，剧情也挺无聊的。
有点尴尬，所以这两个人是成为了朋友关系或者类似父女关系了吗？
not precending
1.感觉电影还是停留在梅艳芳生平大事记阶段，缺乏内部的串联，按道理本片主创不难接触到梅艳芳的熟人，但拍出来就是很浅。
掌掴事件的前因后果没有交待清楚，跟当时那男朋友为何分手也没说清楚，可能是不好直接拍吧，牵扯黑帮大佬，当时的香港就是那样。据爆料（玄学），古仔是继承了哥哥的一些事情，所以他出演也有原因
罗马假日梗已经是今年第二次玩了，第一次的marry me效果一般，所以本来没抱期待但是却发现每一个人物都很鲜活有趣，看来即便是大数据剧本，好莱坞处理起本土的少数族裔还是信手拈来的，而且结局也没有落入俗套。PS萨马拉维文这个神颜居然咖位不上不下真是不公平！！
泪崩几次，但几乎全是因为里面的回放。女主举手投足更向寡姐，私以为梅姑更糙一点。张国荣的饰演者太不像了也。
3.梅姐那么多应景的好歌不放，从头到尾基本都在放心债？
对某日本男星的处理也过于美化了 大可不必 另外张国荣的选角真的可以再用心一些吧
女主下车那段背景乐绝了
我并不是她的粉丝，但是梅姐的歌和演的电影，我大部分听过、看过，这就是一代巨星的影响力吧。
好久没看过这种让人轻松的电影了，女主虽然有点糙，但真漂亮。
导演上部《后会有期》很喜欢，终于等到再回归了。尽管没有看过原版，但这类“大明星-普通人”的缘分故事刚在二月《巨星嫁到》演了；如今又看，难免感到单调乏味（即使它的走向并不相同，但整体调性太过相近；而且考虑到每晚还要看《欢迎光临》，真是一把子中外大撞车…）。安排Samara和Eugenio做主角，有些意想不到的惊喜；故事也试图打破关于恋爱的陈词滥调，插入移民经历、家庭关系、种族融合等话题，努力丰富它在这之外的意义。可以最低限度地让人保持着兴趣，但却很难不去抱怨它的臃肿和值得发生改编的必要性。
我觉得女主的鼻子一定是很多人向往的类型，脸盲如我都记住了。好几个地方都笑出猪声了，比瞬息全宇宙好看~
剧情无聊又老套，女主的演技都比男主好不少，玛丽苏男主剧本，这电影拍给男性观众做美梦的吧。
算不算为拉丁裔代言的政治正确呢？！美女与野兽的现代版？
不亏是枯燥乏味又套路的美国故事
好莱坞新创作公式：法国 “冷门”喜剧，配上一点美式温情，适量种族特色，少许性别议题。
看过225分钟导演剪辑版，仍然无法触及真实梅艳芳的皮毛，最让人动容的反而是真实人物出现的纪录片段，足见电影本身的表演多差劲，剧本多单薄，人物多扁平化。明知偶像被消费，明知是未达预期的电影作品，明知是毫无生气的流水账，依然津津有味地看了足本225分钟，原因无他，全因我们缅怀那个看似糟糕，实则无限美好的逝去的年代，让我们扼腕的是一代人和一个美好时代的一去不复返。这个香港出生长大的小歌女，带给我们脑补的回忆实在太多太多。
