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.
虽然演员外貌看都老了一些，但是气质这个东西真的是不惧年龄，永远那么优雅夺目，就是欣赏Lady Mary: I like them handsome. 这一部结合20s电影talkie的崛起，很有意思。
大小姐还是每部戏都有新艳遇呀！这一部感觉直接承接了电视剧第一部的情感，那些没有说出口的，都说出来没有遗憾了。门槛也挺低的，很多时候台词巧妙地把人物或者前事介绍了。其实想不到电影会这么精彩，特别现在疫情又收紧了，渝北区都关了，还能在IFS的百丽宫看超前点映，很开心。就是坐的3号厅 整体位置都偏低了 加上百丽宫是凹面屏 屏幕尺寸中等，而电影太多广角镜头，看起来形变比较严重。
本粉丝看得很满足。婚礼开始，葬礼为尾，新生作为结束，在这座充满故事的庄园进行电影拍摄也是绝佳选择，默片有趣地走向了有声片。几段感情的拉扯，群像的刻画，各种呼应，最终granny的和Barrow的离开也是唐顿的某种结束和新的开始。
剧中每一幕都是精心设计，精致的服饰，不乏幽默的对话，看着很是赏心悦目。
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
编剧真的很暖，从剧集时期只是隐隐表现出来对Thomas的善意，到了这一次毫不掩饰的给Thomas安排了一个美好的未来。大小姐最后送Thomas的那句话真的是太好哭了。
所有人都到了对的位置，老太太演技没话说……
In times like this, we all need Downton Abbey.
默片向有声电影转换的阶段，唐顿庄园也是走在关键时期。从婚礼到葬礼，到新生命的诞生，都是在艰难的活着。
摘下唐顿的滤镜就会发现，这本子简直像是国内编剧的水平……除了老夫人和大小姐的情事、电影与唐顿的换代两相对照是妙笔之外，几乎再难找出优点。平均用力的群戏尚可视作粉丝特供餐，但矛盾的解决全靠只言片语点醒梦中人（导演比大小姐还不懂电影，黛西都能教育女演员），也太离谱了吧？！
始于颜值，终于老太太的演技，其余都不剩下什么了~
熟悉的人看着亲切，可是一个个都无法掩藏的变老，唏嘘
副标题名叫New Era却是向旧时代的谢幕仪式，贵族阶级去往南法处理老太太的旧事，家里让给电影拍摄。一家人齐聚老太太病床前送终老太太却让他们不要哭“I can’t hear myself die” ，戏份不多却完成了成长的女明星和女仆们的互动也因朴实而动人。果然，最有力量的台词总是由最简单的词汇构成
7.8分。DTS 6ch/35.7G 保存31
看完唐顿庄园，想想一百年前我们的国民在做什么，再看看当前的生活，不由感叹：这些英国贵族命大，没有摊上革命。
看电影的感觉真好，短短两个小时，却能把我拉回过去的时光，缓慢的，一集一集追剧的日子，把2022年的世界隔离开来，像过了几年一样漫长。 Downton Abbey可以永远不用变，永远在那里，永远old school，一板一眼。婚礼开始，葬礼结束，死亡又新生，这就是我曾经的热爱了。ps,古迪子这次连酱油也不打了。
整体感觉就是英伦范，大家都端着，无贬义，所有男的从头到尾穿的都是领带领结，女的除了女仆几乎全穿礼服，英国人仪式感很强，当然可能因为他们是上流社会
一个艺术家的牢笼还是羽翼，你更喜欢哪个？去问飞鸟吧。
老夫人的离去，我在电影院泣不成声，十年来见证了克劳利家族的风风雨雨：
虽然演员外貌看都老了一些，但是气质这个东西真的是不惧年龄，永远那么优雅夺目，就是欣赏Lady Mary: I like them handsome. 这一部结合20s电影talkie的崛起，很有意思。
