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.
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
袁公窃取天书，似普罗米修斯盗取火种与接踵而至的潘多拉魔盒。授予神力本为造福世人，而为恶人所用又多了后患无穷。
各种中国元素的造型设计太棒了。人物设计都挺有趣儿，师徒、衙役、县太爷、小皇帝。本身的文本解读空间也非常大，结尾戛然而止本身也也蕴含极大的对无可撼动的天庭的批判。聚宝盆出现的许多爸爸惊悚。有关剧情的几个疑问：1.为什么天书被刻了下来不直接毁掉？2.为什么设置为蛋生并未打败狐妖，而是师傅下来帮忙？师傅被抓走之后呢？蛋生会被天庭允许存在吗？
从单一的场景简单的出场人物上能看出来他想拍个跟别人不一样的东西，但是深度一点不够。探讨富豪的privilege？阶级和社会角色对普通人生存的限制？大概是r/antiwork 加r/TwoXChromosomes的说服力。说是黑色幽默呢，又并不怎么幽默
故事整体过渡不够平滑，抢钱的被赶鸭子上架，多少有些牵强。
我怎么那么那么喜欢这部 我觉得画的真是太好咧
国产动画自大闹天宫继承文化遗产剪影与泥人风格并改良后 即处于停滞状态 之后更是退化 二战后苏俄琢磨战时迪士尼作画 在光影上进步巨大 但国产动画直到葫芦娃几乎没有任何进步 说是出道即巅峰也好 但其传说性已经脱离了现代生活 魔方大厦和舒克贝塔虽是例外 却又开启了风格劣化的时代 才有了今天这个结果
看了很多遍.喜欢.那个年轻的女狐狸精真美,声音也动人.
荒诞戏谑滑稽可爱，想象力爆炸，笔墨画面流畅，东方韵味十足，细想还挺有深意，不错不错
还是得承认故事本身放在今天看是偏弱的，但是81年竟然是40年前了，最后那些幕后看的人动容
在那个物质最匮乏的年代里，这些最可敬、可爱、才华横溢的动画艺术家们创作出了最杰出的文艺作品。也许当时的人们身体是空虚的，但他们的精神却绝不像今天我们这一代人一般饥饿。

#大银幕重看 故事到后面没有讲得很好，但是确实很美，加长的纪录片有心了。
电影其实还可以的，豆瓣评分好低，近两年就喜欢这种轻惊悚片
看过就好了。现在才拿来看真有点觉得是煎熬。
师父宁犯天规也要培养一个天书传人，呃.....
2021.11.6在电影院再次看到了4K修复版。音乐🎶好棒。每个人物造型都很有趣。最后一个画面（袁公被带走，蛋生不舍的呼喊师傅），电影院里一个小朋友，哭的哇哇的……说明电影真的好棒。

挺不错的本子，可以改编成舞台剧，增加一些戏剧性应该会更好。缺点明显，但是挺好看的。
哈哈，小时候看这个有些怕，总觉得那个老狐妖长得慎人
