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.
哭的不行😭剧情预想之中的感人、励志，但是Oscar最佳影片倒是不至于吧……
纵使深陷泥淖，也应仰望星辰。外表即使看似阴霾密布、暗淡无光，内里也应寻觅无限光亮、浩然之气。学而不思则罔，思而不学则怠。发配贫苦边境，却仍秉持一颗赤子之心，不断思考，不断实践，不断整理。是师徒恩义，亦是知己深交。在影像技术日趋发达的而今，没有实际意义的黑白画面十分乏味，但赋予了其有用的内涵则就会变得不同。诗的气质在本片中因黑白色彩处理而更加显著，片尾部分展翅而飞的青色雏鸟，以及海水推波渐行渐远的蓝色，一个是自由，一个是深邃，把晦暗的官吏世界与凄寒的疾苦民间一把割开。留下浅浅余波，留给观众细细品味。
哇真的好温暖啊，唱歌给爸爸听的时候，伯克利面试的时候，鼻子一酸，我的眼泪都要下来了。爱情的地方也很有感觉，那一点点青涩试探的感觉好甜。剧情中规中矩，是能想得到接下来的发展的那种剧情，但是演的极有感情，很温暖很美好。
为学校那段无声的聆听，及考场那段带手语的双重语言歌唱，加一星
4.3 children of deaf adults.故事很好，声声线动人，当小女孩遇见伯乐与爱，结局些微有点俗套，但还是满满感动。
聋哑群体的生存状况，将少数纳入集体，为展现主流社会的包容性，不过是某种官方诉求的幻梦一场。中规中矩的故事和呈现方式，缺少惊喜与尝试，只求稳妥求胜。
最后二重唱时突然静音有点意思，除此之外算是不能更加主旋律的校园鸡汤青春励志片。配上唱歌的主题，看着挺舒服的。十分适合周末的晚上。
当按下五星键的那刻
不得不说是这几年美国翻拍法国电影里较为全面且到位的作品了。
太暖，太治愈了，全世界都会羡慕这样的家庭~~~
原版里可爱的妈妈给毁了,原版励志的爸爸变平庸了他身上的好分了一半给哥哥,原版超抢戏的老师这里也一点不出彩，小男友比原版爱她多一些,但就...不咋重要呢，亲情戏基本毁了,爱情戏也莫名其妙,没个铺垫关键时刻小男生忽然就不唱了,妹子内心也毫无波澜~。
3.5；有点贪多求全，一部电影很难容纳这等广博的议题，尤其是师徒分道扬镳后较粗疏。多次联想到东坡屡次流放甚至远至黄州/惠州等化外之地。正道儒学求功名，最终是否能完成解救苍生的宏愿，还是在西洋理念的熏染下摆脱规训教条，探求出一条不服命运既定的入世之道——信教是否真能成为另一条开拓之路且另说罢。
年少逐梦。手语歌唱，不负彼此。
全家人一起开车狂奔赶时间，很像当年的《阳光小美女》，最初的保罗达诺。
失望，还以为是什么好片呢，桃姐竟然还给了五星，就是一个很普通的鸡汤片吧。以及，原来伯克利这么好考啊，而且奖学金也很好申请的样子？
audition时候的手语双重传达把影片拔高了，同时也呼应和解答了父母听自己首演时的无声观感。但还是有明显瑕疵，直接回避了自己如果去读音乐学院家中留人如何解决这一主要冲突，不完美但还是很美的电影。
音乐教师的刻画最成功，是一个真正热爱学生，能够发现学生潜力，激励学生的好老师。
贝利叶一家虽然俗但是Louane唱歌多好听啊。这多少年过去了，翻拍也没想想怎么提升下原剧本，还来了个低配版……
整体风格并不很喜欢，但以儒家文化为精神内核，探讨出世入世，其创作勇气和所达到的深度，还是挺令我们汗颜的。设想一下，我们现在能拍出一个苏东坡流放的电影吗？
就这样敲开了奥斯卡的大门，苹果的天价版权费没有白花。但是评分比原版《贝利叶一家》的评分都高就没有必要了。（只能说美国流行文化对豆瓣用户的影响确实比欧洲文化大吧…）
