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.
“教师是太阳底下最光辉的职业。”韩松老师做到了，无愧于“教师”这个称号
可，这就是人的价值吗？
另外2颗星给那些藏族演员。
看了这个电影更坚定了我去藏区走一走的心思，看看大草原，感受那里的风土人情。
串联剧情的藏语歌曲十分动听。
韩老师和梅朵一生清贫奉献，他们没有说过腻歪的情话也没有特别炙热的表达，但他们的情感比谁都深
韩老师也是一步步在进步，不是完美的伟人，他也是普通人，生老病死无法抵抗，不过这样才更真实
虽然很多情节都能预料到，但是拍出来还是挺感人的，特别是僧格牺牲那里，仿佛早就有了预兆
在中国肯定还有很多个像韩松老师一样，不怕艰苦，终生扎根在边疆支教，他们无私奉献的精神必将会影响一代又一代的人。
电影从多个方面展示了藏区物质匮乏，包括但不限于从韩老师碗里弄干净糌粑，鸡蛋，以及吃饺子的醋，同时还展现了藏区人民的纯朴。整个片子景色超级美，剧情也很在线。惹人泪目
韩松这种老师真的是人生明灯吧，孩子们能遇到这样的老师真的很幸运
看到朗措其实那里真的不知道说啥好了，为什么那些假的巡山员会去小学杀人呢？
贫困地区贫穷落后的因素包括气候、地形地貌、地理位置都比较不适合人的居住，还有缺水.干旱严重.山高坡陡，水土流失严重、灾害频繁，这些情况比影片还更严重，所以支教真的不容易
韩松老师将自己的青春，甚至生命都奉献给了教育事业，这种无私的奉献精神，值得我们学习。
很羡慕韩松和梅朵这样的感情，没有多么炽烈的表达，但我可以从他们的眼神里看出他们的感情，他们懂对方。
韩松母亲一定很早前就生病了，只是为了不让韩松担心才没有告诉他，母爱真的好伟大。
写实偏记录的风格让观众一下子走进了他们的生活，藏区天然的物质匮乏以及自然风貌让我们感同身受，也明白人和大自然的和谐共处很重要，历史进程赋予了一代代人生命的意义，努力的意义！
僧格为了救人献出了自己宝贵的生命，这种舍己为人的美好品质值得我们每个人敬佩。
梅朵也太惨了，最后真的就只有老师了，不过精神富足有追求的两个人永远陪伴在身边，很幸福。
看到里面偷猎者的时候真的特别揪心，这人呐，有的时候真坏，不过也是那个地区的实情啊，不过有一说一，还是有点不果断，要不真不至于
