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.
这部我小时候没看过诶！补了之后感觉很喜欢！
刚开始以为是black humor，记过他说是惊悚片？
故事比较简单但确实是古代民间故事的味儿，画面则是杂糅了多种传统艺术，脸谱、剪纸、传统玩具、年画、寺庙绘画的元素均有引用，因此影片的民族特色非常鲜明，这也是本片盛赞的一点。联系诞生年代即可知影片中诸多赤裸裸的讽刺源自哪个时代——那个时代的创作者是不可能回避这个主题的。比《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》弱，因为不管是主题还是画面表现都差了一截。
上海美术制片厂的动画就是有味道呀。。又是古代神话故事改编。。像大闹天宫像哪吒一样。。还有上译的老配音。。看了听了都很舒服。。
这种风格的动画挺好的啊，现在怎么弃了，整的人不人鬼不鬼的
让人难以接受的是，为什么中国的经典动画总是过去时的。当什么大头爸爸、蓝猫还有其他什么什么的充斥电视的时候，中国动画还看得到希望吗？不能越来越成熟深邃，但起码不能越来越幼稚庸俗吧。从大学本科直接退班到幼稚园，电脑技术的高速发展反倒促成了粗制滥造的助推剂。悲哀~
既有故事性又有娱乐性，各个人物都立得很饱满，毫无疑问给五星。从天书象征的privilege 到贪婪的官差、向往公正的民，再到皇的高高在上，每一场戏都很值得推敲，结合出品年代来看，立意实在大胆又先锋。最后要夸一夸修复团队，看完幕后才知道很多音轨是完全重制的，太用心了！！😭
妻子美滋滋啊，富豪死了，还有背锅的劫匪，舒服了呀。不过这个电影实在是太拖了，即便引入了倒霉蛋园丁水时间充数还是显得拖
游丝描绘众生相，
我想的是看到马克思的形象，袁公的脸是很适合的一个缩写，马克思的《资本论》就是工人阶级的救世天书，触犯统治阶级颜面的他只能落下个悲痛的离去下场，而早已看穿一切的马克思微笑夹杂讽刺地面对，上层建筑早已需要修改完善，天书方法却被压制不让生产，生产力和生产关系的冲突就在此刻！
我觉得小时候应该看过，但确实记不得了，不知道是不是当时被吓到或者怎样……其实中国动画就应该这样，很有自己的特点，无论是故事还是绘画。层层递进地故事情节丝毫不会让人觉得无聊，每一层毫无拖沓。
袁公不惜触犯天条把天书享予凡人 殊不知凡界净是魑魅魍魉 西方动画技术传入中国 便不再有这水墨剪影的艺术 都是寓言
小品电影毫无惊悚，故事蛮有趣，压缩一半时间会更有趣，女主真的美，强拉及格
保留传统绘画的同时，开始了娱乐化探索。妙趣横生的盗火者故事，对抗世间不公不义的火种。
到底有没有下集啊。感谢央视少儿频道，很清晰呢。
这种风格的动画挺好的啊，现在怎么弃了，整的人不人鬼不鬼的
镜头感十足。为什么女主干翻全场？因为导演是女主未婚夫。
小时侯是个终极fans,从书到动画片还有磁带,一应俱全
