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.
要说人生赢家还得是人家老夫人 一辈子啥啥都见过了 真好 Mary这过得是丧偶的日子啊 马修古迪这次干脆连面儿都不露了 我强烈支持Mary休了他再找！缅怀大表哥那段儿真的是爱情最好的模样了
十年前，2012年，我仍然记得那晚，妈妈在厨房做凉皮给我吃，我打开了唐顿。
一场婚礼开头，一场葬礼结尾，中间贯穿着生老病死与爱恨情仇，导演一流的构图和调度，还有无声电影的死亡和有声电影的诞生，完美。
接待过国王的唐顿庄园，也有楼顶阁楼漏雨无法修复的时候，年轻时的爱恋在即将离开世界之前勾起，电影拍摄走进了唐顿庄园，而在这个过程中从无声电影到了有声电影，幸福的人们开启幸福或者倍加珍惜幸福，一些新的职责落在孙女身上，那场仆人们参与的狂欢，到楼上的落寞。唐顿庄园，继续往下走，会有多少相似又不同的故事呢？
啊我亲爱的violet，你的逝去带走了唐顿旧时代的神秘动人，但你把大气善良留给了自己的儿子，把坚毅和刻薄留给了孙女，把浪漫留给了外孙女。你的笑容将永远为唐顿庄园增添色彩。
十分精致，两个小时的人物塞下这么多人物，几条线交叉进行还不乱十分难得。对于一部剧集都没看过的我来说，主要是影片开头众多人名和陌生面孔要缕清关系有点难，但不影响理解故事。英式幽默一向以来的台词和笑点也是喜欢英式电影的福音。
一场热闹散去之后，总会迎来新的开始，有人坚守有人离去，各自的生活总还是要继续的。那些曾经的露水情缘，过去了也就是过去了，如今这样也是一个很好的结局，我们都不用为此有所遗憾。岁月催人老，我们的黄金时代早已过去，属于年轻人的时代才刚刚开始，他们也会如我们当初一样，有一个光明灿烂的未来。面对彼此新的人生征程，互道珍重，江湖再见。
不如到此为止吧，让我对唐顿的美妙记忆停留在这还算合格的剧场版第二部，从此我再也不必为续集口碑担心，不必为主演的变化与缺席感慨，不必脑补即将到来的二战对脆弱秩序的打击，贵族的时代结束了。
老妇人年轻的时候一定是个非常有魅力的lady啊
有头有尾，大表姐有点胖了，老太太太美了，祖孙一脉，感受英国人的得体。
很是羡慕，生活中的一切都可以作为passion的一页篇章，或有遗憾与伤心，本可以抓住更多的时间去珍惜所有。Tick tick，曲终了…
看的时候觉得少了点什么，回来一搜果然删了近6分钟，想说其实要比2019年的第一部观感好些，但当时我是真的睡着了一会儿，联想到之前的一些片子，实打实的城堡还是要比影视城的古建筑有质感一些……
还是一如既往喜欢大小姐😍😍😍
新时代 承上启下 很棒的结局 应该是这系列最后一部了
唐顿庄园见证了无声电影向有声电影的转变，并做出贡献
删减了将近六分钟，说是有一条LGBT线，但有两个地方我也感觉不连贯，一个是老太儿媳妇得病那里，一个是电影男主演去找那个侍者
7。是我喜欢的调调，比起上一比更好看，死于新生，唐顿庄园会一直延续。
十年的剧演员脸上都有了岁月的痕迹，看个电影就像见了很多老朋友，英式的精致和幽默，没有什么太过的起伏，剧迷可看。适合在家窝在沙发里看，开个小台灯配点茴香酒来点巧克力，悠闲的很。
31/05/2022 #ACSB# A new era for sure, but there are things that will be passed on for generations and won't ever change. If you can't sell that to the Great British public than what can you sell.. And Violet had most of the punch lines.
这么多年依旧保持水准的我心中的成年童话。演员们特别是mary和老爷都老得好明显，老太太说“别吵，我都听不到我死亡的声音了”～～
