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.
第二季
有考哥的地方就有我～虽然是tv合集，可以当听力再听一遍～
形式&主题，很明显是冲小金人去的。但相比lalaland，并未感觉有高出哪一块的叙述表达。评委们应该也很难把大奖，事隔五年之后再颁给同类型的影片吧。
音柱·宇髄天元
Andrew Garfield的眼神里只有挤不出作品的焦虑和受伤，感受不太到艺术家的疯狂，但Jonathon Larson本人的歌词实在太戳了😭
这什么？？？这不是动画吗，怎么又剪成电影了
再走一步，再走两步。没有一刻可以浪费
结果Stephen Sondheim这就去世了。他给Jon的电话留言，突然觉得，真的是应该多给别人一些善意和鼓励，简单几句也许会对那个看重你的人有意想不到的作用。歌都好好听。
太爱这部电影了，加菲我是夸累了。
能够坚持到最后的追梦者都是英雄，无论梦想是否成真。
重新再出发！！！问火之呼吸为日后的日之呼吸做伏笔，太抓了哇！
Jonathan Larson与《Superbia》。在29岁零9个月时看了这部电影。主创们对艺术的热爱是可以直击灵魂的，热烈而深沉，顺理成章，我的情绪就被牢牢的攥在了tick tick的时针嘀嗒声中。
我爱《鬼灭》，最爱的就是日本古代独有的阴冷的夜叉风格。但是看看柱众会议，一个个什么样，连粉头萝莉都出来了，完全没有了原本的大和风，反倒有了一丝现代都市风。
（TV动画第22话~第26话总集篇，在富士电视台播出，为追加新场景的特别剪辑版。）
思考着后果，思考着退路，思考着回报，选择真的太需要勇气了。但除了未至的朝阳，还有黑夜里细微的星光。
加菲尔德在这里跟个老太太一样。
EP.1-5 《兄妹的羁绊》
那个大姐说的对，写自己熟悉的东西才能引起共鸣，不落俗套的歌舞片，看着各种转场衔接有点儿跳脱，回想起来却是很感动，大概就是音乐和艺术的魅力，以及加菲真是个宝藏男孩啊，没想到！
那种焦虑紧迫感，将自己逼死，I am running out of time. 我没有时间了，我根本没有时间聊天建立亲密关系。
虽然不像la la land那么全面 但是故事好很多
