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.
我简直爱死校园音乐电影了，更别提主角团看着都那么顺眼，结尾的表演也很炸。ps:艾西斯有点暴躁病娇的范让我看到了海伦娜的影子。
哈哈哈哈哈神经病重金属儿童的校园生活……开车逃跑时hunter说that's metal的样子，简直让我怀疑他是Eric Martin的亲儿子，长太像，台上solo时，眼里满是星辰大海……
前面节奏有点慢，本来以为会是俗套的剧情，但是却拍出了味道。金属梗可以更多一些哈哈哈啊
totally badass！Skull Flower 哈哈哈哈哈
男主还挺斯文的 ，金属乐确实容易操翻音乐现场
大提琴拉起来真是酷，尤其是女生。。。就饭吃看看就算了的电影
剧情轻松有趣，两人互相需求的羁绊发展也很青春。
朋友推荐给我的，说我肯定喜欢。一看封面我还以为是之前看的欧洲人拍的重金属在囧途，后来发现不是。看完就....感觉挺套路的吧，也挺平的。感觉就是标准的歌舞青春式青春片套了一个金属的壳子，真喜欢金属的感觉很难找到共鸣吧，主要还是青春片。一样是音乐青春片，几年前的初恋这首情歌给我的感觉要好不少，至少没这么套路化。而且....额....就最后表演的歌来说应该不算post death doom吧....就标准重金属而已...额....总之就....一般
Metal will live on
笨贼碰到蠢警察，加上斯德哥尔摩症候群，无语。。。。。。
看完才知道是真实事件改编，南非第一位黑人总统曼德拉上位前搞得黑人运动，被捕，手下的小弟们还在积极搞着“恐怖袭击”以求黑人被公平对待。在一次秘密行动被同伙泄露，失败逃亡的路上，阴差阳错的躲到了银行并劫持了人质。有一些小伏笔，司法部长女儿和黑人血统却装白人的女士，都深刻解释了他们为什么这么做，很深刻。
全程无尿点，深度稍欠。
感觉好久没遇到美式校园题材的电影了。然后选了这一部，本以为套着重金属音乐能有个不一样的套路，最后还是很失望的，就还是原来的套路，玩乐队，友情闹掰，谈恋爱，重拾友情，舞台绽放。
说到gay时镜头往墙上rob等一群基佬海报扫过的画面要笑岔气了….泳池时kirk，rob，scott几个大佬一本正经讨论爱情忠贞观时这帮逼样是真glam附体…
真心觉得金发贝斯小哥不错，又帅有有范~不知从什么时候开始，金属=中二，关于重金属的电影基本都脱离不了一开始别人“异样”的眼光，而后通过一番折腾得到大家的理解或是自我的认同~大多电影在讨论的金属精神到底又是什么？在我看来，真正的“金属精神”是无法被大众所理解和接受的，类似的电影不是拍给真正金属迷的~
在这个荒唐的日子口，看了一部关于自由的电影。“自由的代价是什么？everything！”
from skullfucker to skullflower is just like from hate to love.
I do not know.
没有新颖
超喜欢吉他小哥，真的没见过这么纯粹的金属脑诶，反而觉得鼓手才是矫情的那种，又要出名又要正常还要爱情，行吧毕竟是青春片...以及那个婚礼乐队主唱也好帅的～
