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.
杰夫拥抱芬奇离去的时候，他明明没有表情，我却看到了他悲伤的不成样子
电影的故事和手法一点都不新鲜，但汤姆·汉克斯的精湛表演和影片细腻的情感刻画让《芬奇》感人至深。
PS：机器人也比个别小鲜肉有演技。。。
因为Human Contradiction吗
这个机器人让我联想起Athlete的Tourist专辑封面的那个机器，再配一曲里面的Street Map，想想都觉得是个perfect match。或许只是我一个人的臆想，又或许，有人同感吗？
我在想如果我处于这样的世界，为了解决无聊，可能需要3000本书，5000部电视剧以及上万部电影。。。但是这是在有吃有喝有电的情况下，一般世界末日来看，这是完全不可能的
刚刚看到世界恢复的希望，芬奇却挺不下去了。
电影里女人和孩子都死了，因为要抢食物。
看演员表里还有“母亲和女儿”，还以为是芬奇遇见了别的人类，没想到是这么发生的。在芬奇离开后，只剩下机器人和狗的画面，太像动漫了。
末日公路片，只有在误闯医院被追逐和回忆母女被射杀这两段有体现出末日里人性的凶残，其余时候都是温情脉脉的，温情到没感受到多少末日气息。
电影世界里这么多机器人。小时候喜欢哆啦A梦，中年喜欢《银河系漫游指南》里那个忧郁的机器人。到了老年就喜欢这个杰夫了吧。
危机没有讲太多，更没有正面出现敌人，最后杰夫看起来也没有成长得很可靠的样子，他的生存训练太少了，男主中途跑偏跟他讨论了太多人生理想，而没有专注于教授杰夫他的本职工作。
末世下的温暖小品，胜在小细节处的感动，整体背景经不起推敲。一般作品多把机器人作为人类的朋友或敌人来展开故事，鲜有令其成为人类继任者的案例，这部里的杰夫从初有意识惹出不少麻烦到成长为芬奇的得力帮手至把小狗托付给他，是一种拟人化的成长过程。影片基本是由汤姆·汉克斯饰演的芬奇的独角戏，汉克斯再一次塑造了一个坚强、温暖又失意的独立角色，看着他就能让人感觉到信心和力量，令人叹服。影片开头和结尾留白太多，既能让观众充满遐想，也会让人感觉没头没尾。
有点无趣了，苹果拍的网大，虽然比网飞绝大多数有质感些，但是内容还是太空了！
宅起的阿甘，带上荒岛伙伴，往西部去寻找未来紫外线世界。虽然是难被打动的大主角情怀片，但似乎也在说不远的未来，没有了党派、主义、路线之争后，甚至没有了人类之后，无机物和狗狗才能建立信任
常见的末日公路题材，挑不出大毛病，就是保守到有点无聊的程度。Jeff“演”得真不错。
一想到狗狗走了之后就只有jeff一人了……生物好脆弱但又好强韧。挺感动的，但讲道理，都十五年了！美国这种农业大国地下温室该搞起来了吧？！？！而且公路路况也太好了，无裂缝无杂草甚至连车都没多少……bug过多挺影响到观影的。
说点实话吧，挺无聊的，毫无新意，已经猜到了所有的细节和结局，片名应该是杰夫
四星+。社恐者看了无比舒适，孤独的最高境界。热爱生命，热爱生活，唯独讨厌人类。
温暖的童话永远不会过时。无非是换一个壳子或内胆，重新讲一遍，照样打动人。
