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.
请留最后一支舞给我。与人合租一起养老，这样的选择的也挺好。
日式鸡汤。大多数日本人那种内敛性格，一群人长期共居，怎么可能。
很快天海要面对所有环节都出问题的困境了，公公去世丧礼需要花钱，婆婆还要大排场，结果血本无归。女儿未婚先孕，夫妻还一起失业。这时候为了节约钱把婆婆接回家住，婆婆竟然是个完全不看经济状况乱花钱的主。婆婆还被诈骗了。
这一口号被专家解读宣扬出来，引起社会一片哗然，仿若加剧不敢老，怕老的恐惧焦虑感，让人内心使终期上八下惶恐着。
养老是大部分人的担忧 只有少数发达国家地区不需要担心 天海佑希不太会采购啊 一进去就被销售连环施压 看着都可怜 都是打肿脸充胖子的家伙 老太太在这家玩的更开心
这才叫真婚姻生育劝退片。列出了非常现实的处境，办丧事，办婚礼，和父母同住，中年失业，哪一个都让人绝望啊。最后的happy ending显得很刻意，现实要比这残酷得多。不过中年再住share house倒的确是个不错的想法。
这真是睡着了都能吓醒的噩梦，感觉我也要像海报里的女主一样泪奔了～
很可爱的小片，尤其是老太太与天海佑希讨论想进入宝冢当男角的那一段。
影片改编自垣谷美雨的小说《老何所依》，导演依旧遵循日本影片的经典套路来改变生活的思路，以此来实现大团圆的结局，将一个中年家庭的无奈和窘迫展现的淋漓尽致。影片后半部分，通过繁杂的数字以及对金钱担忧的逐渐减少和各种充满生气的故事情节，将影片拉回了正轨。整部影片穿插着不少的喜剧元素，在压抑窒息的氛围里得到一丝的舒缓。个人觉得影片有些无趣，虽然也有搞笑成分，但依旧避免不了昏昏欲睡的感觉，妥妥的爆米花片。
share house这波安利广告真不错，把生活残酷的一面展现得轻松温馨，不容易啊，有点太童话了。所以没钱咋任性呢？
scan 没有真正无解的问题。婆婆大手大脚，但只是一时空虚，而且很明白事理；老公不是无能，只是暂时失业，还是有人脉有资源，而且会为家人找想。亲父母创业贷款，也不是真的财务危机。女儿未婚生子，女婿也不是真的不靠谱。儿子也能找到工作……就其实没问题。这种化解问题的方法，好像在说：那些问题不是那些问题……但真实的世界，可能就是有问题，那个问题就是那个问题。
天海女王跟五郎叔莫名地还挺有CP感的，无论是身高还是独身者的气质。前半部分坏事连连感觉没什么铺陈就是料想之内的俗套剧情，没想到后半部分给顶起来了。真的是很不错啊，娱乐温情都有了，也稍微缓解了一下近日自己的倒霉气氛。

原著更好，电影对生活有点太轻描淡写了，不过电影中增加了共享住宅的部分，中国有这样的业态了吗？
骗养老金，办生前葬礼，公司倒闭失去退休金，最后靠合租房来解决。。。既想面面俱到，又想蜻蜓点水，结局近乎完美。When it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
就算有这么多困难，生活还是要继续。

好久没有看过这么欢乐的日本电影了，很温馨，日本国也很现实，老百姓也是被剥削的
天海“我也是”
本来还以为会有点沉重的，没想到笑到肚子痛，不知道时隔多久地在电影院笑出声了www真的放轻松点才能活得开心
