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.
完全是为了打怪而打怪...
没第一部好，但是欢乐还是给足了，看着很放松。
和《薄荷糖》还是没法比，《薄荷糖》的堕落史有明确的内外因，让人更感叹而悲哀，而这部则暧昧得多，也显得流水账一些。男生女生的第一次也太不自然了，真有人这么搞吗？恋爱部分比《花束》细腻真实一些，喜欢男生在楼下等苏的时候。
太空音乐剧的创意也是让本片脑洞大开之余，更有了几分动画与实际相结合之感，何况，剧情上面，不光有音乐、有搞笑，还有催情与励志！
狮子铺垫过多反而觉得差口气，最欢乐的桥段还是海选 -7.2
唯一一次几欲落泪是在两个人的第一次
好想要大狮子的湖边小屋！Dream house！
现实不断地让人失望，甚至绝望，好像也失去了与人相爱的能力，逃避成为习惯，变得普通。我们都无法成为大人，是因为我们都想回到过去，可我们再也回不去了，这才是泪流满面的原因。
我们都是不普通的普通人，精神追求不会随着长大而消失：每个人身体里都充满了尚未成佛的词语。每段回忆都刻满了年代的符号，令人怀念，可惜剪的太稀碎了。
堪称日本华丽版《薄荷糖》，剧本、音乐、摄影、剪辑都非常漂亮，人物塑造又十分立体与有深度，全片弥漫出一种淡淡的惆怅和自然的哀伤
故事比较简单，但舞台实在太华丽震撼了，现实里如果有这样的show，我一定要去看！
那声音的力度大到好像，
我们只是不断的前进，不断的遇见，却不是不断的长大
46岁，我变成了一个无聊的人——你小时候想要变成现在的自己吗？身处「后疫情」时代洪流之中的作者发出了「灵魂」拷问，也给出了自己的回答：在意识到《我们都无法成为大人》之前，不能说「绝望的人」没有希望，只能说「希望」暂时没有来，抑或不以人期待的模样和设想的方式来。这也是为什么讲述「旧爱重逢」抑或《再见初恋》主题的本片要从《苦役列车》上的「未来」视角开始记录——这样，我们也就看到了，一个人在何种情况下作出怎样的选择之后才变成现在的样子。理想与现实之间的矛盾往往在于，人与时间的失调。其表现为过去的事与当下的事与《将来的事》发生「混淆」错位：原本用来谈情说爱的时间，却不得不用来工作；到了谈婚论嫁「订终身」的时刻，还在抱怨工作餐不适合自己的胃；自己明明很普通，却依然无法忘怀某个「似无还有」遥不可追的梦。

为霉和U2加一星，结尾的那场show完成度还是挺高的
這一集的劇本就草率了些，不過也算近期我看得最開心的一部動畫了，而且角色形象還是討人喜愛的。
对都市文青的观察比花束中的恋爱真实很多，也更打动人。只是为什么每一部日本青春物语式电影总会有无限重复的元素：一家trans/les/gay吧，一位爱而不得的性少数（again,ta们真实的困境从来不是这类电影书写的重点，而只是为主角经历增添的色彩），一个深陷性钱交易无法挣脱的少女，一个普通人女友，和一个跟你一样无聊但能飞升的朋友。毫无想象力，不如多拍拍和伊藤沙莉的故事，他们相遇的情节是十万分之一。
良心喜剧动画 几乎无可挑剔的剧情和诚意十足的动画
在圣诞日早上十点来电影院，收获了假日里最大的快乐之一！快乐就够了。
