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.
电影的叙事很简单，但这浓浓的印度风味值得我们珍惜，就凭这它就值5星。
评论比电影精彩系列。
主角在印度是有真实原型的。印度能拍出这样的大女主题材是一次很大的进步！期待未来有更多女性主题电影。电影时长151分钟，2个多小时，女主角很漂亮，是我喜欢的那种！！
然后画面是真挺美的 色调调的挺好 饱和度低 让印度的贫民窟妓院都显得挺清新的 完全没有脏乱臭的感觉 但是这合理么 印度正式场合穿得衣服也是民族服饰 这点比中国文化自信强多了
不知道是国家间的利益还是什么原因
虽然是传记类的，但不得不说印度电影一言不合就跳舞的固定情节依然是逃脱不掉。
印度片一般充满了歌舞，至少在我来看比较肤浅，这一部却特别，一改以往的表面、歌舞花样、肤浅和苍白，变得深沉、克制、有力量。不仅从女性女权的意义上，而是从人的意义上，从尊严、文明的意义上，这片子是好片子，而且从励志，从人性的角度上，也是挖掘得很不错的片子。
时间线很长，讲的东西很大，感觉有些地方拍浅了。但还是敬佩。
能量就要溢出屏幕了“你怎么一直在运动”“还有另一半成功”。不过整体叙事还是比较潦草，比起事业又更加强调爱情。
所以为什么要让自己情人去娶一个他不喜欢的人 🥲
p.s. 女主是Gully Boy里疯狂勇敢浪漫的女友！在短时间内无预警的情况下看到第二部她的作品，好惊喜！她真的好美！
印度电影中间穿插的歌舞其实不单纯是特色表现，也是其制作技巧，用来表达主人公心理活动的具像化。
嗯。。毕竟是发生在阿三的国度所以一切都显得很合理，，能包涵则包涵。。女主不逃是因为割舍不了姐妹们吧我猜。
她的梦想是当一个电影明星，但她的人生却像一部电影
这是女权？好吧，或许在印度能做到这样已经是不错了，但是牙医那段是怎么回事？rh？如果想看到女权，那就算了，也就借此更加了解印度国情吧
很喜欢，看了电影后又去查了人物原型生平，画面构图太美了很像油画
电影多少有些理想化和诗意的处理。非常喜欢女主，演出了那种不屈不挠和率性、真诚、无所畏惧。电影的色调和音乐都很有质感。节奏恰到好处。
被称为"Mafia Queen"的女主，表现得像个圣母，最激烈的不过是刮了男人几巴掌。而且所有的成就，都离不开拉拉在后面的支持。只能说这是个真洗白，伪女权的样板电影。
从妓院走出来的孟买女帝~
这个视角也是非常的直男了……太窒息了 人物单薄 除了漂亮衣服和首饰以外毫无看点
