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.
我是个岛民，人不是孤岛。疫情期间看这个真的哭成🐶
Tonight we honor what was lost, But we also commemorate what we found❤️
前边半个小时是零碎着看完的，所以感受不是很强，后面的部分，感觉慢慢好了。我觉得音乐蛮棒的，灯光运用也恰当好处，在有限场地上，人物的安排、运动都挺好。让我感触的不是所宣扬的人性善，而是人生的世事无常。相遇、离开，得到、失去，一切都变了，一切好像又没有变化。“Something's over, somthing's done, something's missing, something's changed, something's rearranged, something’s strained, something's lost, something's not”，所以我特别喜欢最后一切结束后那一段众人的表演。
热血沸腾，哽咽多次，无论这个世界有多么糟糕，还有音乐，真是件幸运的事。表白女机长！
#How a small island changes the world when the world is on the edge of falling.
整片励志感人。虽是舞台表演。但故事讲述非常清楚。可以想象很多画面。
好好看。很温馨，剧情、人物、场景真的都编排得太好了。我从二十分钟开始就一直处于要哭不哭的状态，但笑点很好地中和了情绪。
四星给演员，这么简单的场地全靠演技撑起来了
It's a celebration of humanity。
The island Newfoundland,the town Gander, we honor what we lost but also commemorate what we found.
911同人衍生之“迷失”之音乐剧官摄录像，但不在live现场的观感总会打折扣，所以并没有很进入剧情，音乐没有很突出，不过在特殊时期守望相助的情感倒是颇能打动人，但这种美式主流正能量的鸡汤味有多浓，也是冷暖自知的事。
emmmmmmmm记忆点是女机长，镇长的换装2333333333。基于911的历史比较稀薄，但是这个视角切入真的不敏感且文化融合且友好。另一个避难乌托邦。（弥补了我的退票，真好辛苦抢到早鸟 还乐的不行）
O！M！G！太好看了吧！来一群陌生人的善意！太好哭了！还很幽默！又哭又笑我本人了！里面的演员唱功也太好了！特别是女飞行员那里，看哭了！N刷的歌剧！
放在broadway里，实在是比较平庸的剧，不是很理解为什么是must see级别，应该是大部分美国人能对故事背景共情？典型的美式煽情和笑点，除了音乐和演员唱功比较有印象，其他看完真的有想退票的冲动。
精彩绝伦的作品。把膝盖献给这群真正的演员。
一个狭小的场地进行广大空间的叙事，人多而不杂乱，事多而有序井然，第一次看到这样的舞台剧，没有繁杂的舞美，没有奢华的舞台，而演出了精彩的故事，大开眼界，大吃一惊！佩服佩服！
编排太牛，节奏太紧密，简直有点目不暇接了。
平凡却动人的美式主旋律，作为舞台剧音乐组成略少但叙事流畅
