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.
不太理解印度的种姓制度 这不就是少数民族嘛 在中国关乎还来不及 这种迫害与歧视是我不能想象的
“我不是天生的律师，我只是一个人。假设一个被蛇咬的受害者来到你身边，为生活而挣扎，如果他没有钱，你会拒绝他吗？” 良心之行。
能拍、敢拍这样的题材值得表扬，但是从艺术的角度看，拍的太过脸谱化，以至于不吸引人。
近三个小时的片子，却不觉冗长，不得不说印度某些电影是真不错👍正是因为有这样一些人，不忘初心，拥抱理想，砥砺奋进，不计回报，社会才得以进步，阳光的味道才洒满人间….2021最佳！5星荐
电影本身拍摄手法一般，胜在真实事件改编&社会意义（种姓、阶级、贫富、金钱、权力），演技也不错。
本以为是像《钢琴师》那样的反转悬疑片，结果是《辩护人》这样的人权斗争片。片子本身的节奏没什么问题，正气凛然。不过律师的破案过程过于平顺。不过类似这样的揭露黑暗面的影片，国产的还是应该再多一些。
印度这种种姓制度不废除 他们永远无法成为一个强大的国家
一个每年拍2000部电影的国家，“世界上电影产量最高的国家（请注意，是最高，不是最高之一）”，99.5%都是打发时间的爆米花电影。
精彩纷呈，无论是讽刺社会现状还是电影整体的视听语言，印度版熔炉，但比熔炉更加政治化

我竟然看完了。感觉看完了一个电视剧。。哈哈哈
法院作出的不仅是判决，还是希望。看的版本翻译太差，整体节奏稍慢。
唯一槽点是男主的“霸总”出场，他越过栅栏的一刹那，恍惚感觉下一秒会有个妹子出现
【7.0】豆瓣评分老毛病，题材好＝满分。印度电影通病，用大量洗脑神曲配合琐碎剪辑来交代故事进展，严重影响叙事节奏。所有表达都用最直白肤浅的方式呈现。讲的是低种姓人群对抗警察的故事，但表现警察凶恶的方式只是刻意拖长的刑讯场面和受害人的哀嚎。每到展现主角和女配正义光环的时候就是慢镜头+配乐，有点尴尬。辣椒粉的线索挺重要，但先期药店和诊所不在一个方向、谎报打电话的时间的伎俩太愚蠢了，完全显示不到律师的能力，只能看到他的意志和敌人的蹩脚。中间的转折也很突兀，扫盲课老师和农家妇女一样无知吗？明知道受害人不可能打电话为何不在第一次庭审后直接告诉律师？非要刻意制造本不存在的困难吗？是用笨拙技法拍出的有一点社会意义的故事，仅此而已。
拍摄手法一般，甚至很老套，难得的是这样的题材，而且还是在印度，再过10年中国也未必拍得出这种题材的电影。
ps,喜欢片中典型的印度电影音乐；
故事剧本、音乐甚至于镜头都是印度电影标准啊。
这句响亮的口号喊出了印度历史上第五种姓的变革。
爆料自己的黑历史并没什么大不了，就比如现在的我们也不会嘲笑茹毛饮血的先祖。遮遮掩掩才是毛病，恰恰说明自己还沉沦在不自信的泥潭。
没有人是救世主，自己才是自己的救世主。
