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.
2022年看到的第一部五星电影，演员表演到位，摄影和剪辑都运用得很棒，最出彩的还是剧本，倒叙、插叙以及最后的长镜头都惊艳到了我。
完全是笨拙模仿，没有得到一点北野武的神韵。
阿武师傅出事后，还在灵堂前讲漫才，保持谐星的幽默感，在某种程度上继承了师傅深见千三郎对艺术的追求。“我是谐星，八嘎呀路！”其实没有看过太多北野武导的电影，但北野武演的电影看过不少，具体认知中北野武就是个倔强的小老头，能说点真话，也是真的有才，可以为所欲为。实际上这不是北野武第一部关于漫长的电影，对于身份认知，从本片中看，北野武一直很认可自己作为谐星的身份。愿历经千帆，归来仍是少年。柳乐优弥长得一点都不像北野武，角色就是阿武（总有种魂穿武则天的感觉），阿武很好的表现出北野武痴的一面，对表演艺术的痴；对师傅深见千三郎的敬，实际上出走半生，却一直铭记恩师教诲。电影故事后半段稍微有点脱节，节奏一下子就没有前面那么流畅，但是日式独有的细节一点不缺，在炎炎夏日，看看大佬是如何怀念恩师的，还是极好的！
来自浅草的深见和阿武
2.5 就所有演員演得還不錯，其他都麻麻，導演真是沒啥能力。最後特效妝又驚悚又俗氣。
柳乐优弥在成名作《无人知晓》后又接连出演数十部烂片，票房口碑双双扑街，我曾一度以为他会像大部分神童一样，出道即巅峰然后光速陨落。
最后重回浅草法兰西座太好哭了。这片子倒是让我才真正get到了大泉洋。门胁麦越来越厉害了。铃木保奈美还是很美。“要在我这里演戏，可不要被别人笑，而是要逗人笑”对师匠真的肃然起敬。
影帝发挥出色！师父表演精彩但是！演员太像吴政世了让我看得出戏😰师母竟然是铃木保奈美！😧
也太好哭了吧，以为是北野武的传记，没想到是他师父的。虽然有煽情的成分，但是真的好难过，师父这一生咋这么惨啊呜呜呜
「不要扮丑逗观众笑，要靠演技。如果你要扮女公关，就要把自己化成世界上最美的女人。」「不要讨好观众，你来告诉观众什么有趣的。」
无功也无过吧，电影技法上没啥突出的，及格，情怀是主要加分项，作为传记片比《波米》还是靠谱多了，至少没有为了zzzq胡乱编纂美化人物生平……
北野武是喜剧的天才，柳乐优弥是表演的天才，成名后的call back是最佳段落。另外还是想说铃木保奈美太太太太太太好看了。
围绕FRANCE座讲北野武和师父两个人的故事（师父人物的深度胜过北野武），两位女性角色形象也丰富（美女真的好美），也带上了一点娱乐（短剧、漫才）的发展。演员表演都非常到位，大泉就是角色本身，柳乐影帝长得有点太帅算唯一的问题。老年北野武的化妆有些僵硬，说像也像，说怪也怪，说吓人也吓人。整体复古滤镜挺常见的，表现手法不新鲜，结构有点乱“现在-回忆-回忆中的回忆-回忆-现在-回忆-现在-结尾长镜头”，长镜头挺好也挺套路。片尾动画可爱。3.5//有客串，能看到Creepy Nuts规规矩矩在厂子上班。
北野武早期翻爬滚打的过往，平凡、执着的底层挣扎。
实在没想到电影中面瘫的冷面大叔北野武居然是喜剧和漫才出身？！！而且这段传记确实拍的很好，情感表达流畅、细腻而真挚，特别是影片结束前那个时空交错的长镜头和师徒跨越时空的互动，简直是神来之笔！
那些为梦想奋力拼搏的日子，永远是最动人的。
我知道有些桥段是故意煽情，故意套路我，想骗我的眼泪……哼，我都知道啊……可是我特么还是中招了。混蛋！
完蛋了，以后听到浅草小子就会浮现师徒喝酒的画面。
师父才是主人公，讲述他在剧场走向没落时仍然坚持舞台演员的骄傲，把对时代的妥协放在成为电视明星的徒弟身上。片中阿武出走后的发展太顺了，显得师父过于迂腐，两个人的关系不太平衡。
影帝发挥出色！师父表演精彩但是！演员太像吴政世了让我看得出戏😰师母竟然是铃木保奈美！😧
