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.
真的只能给个技术分了，完全摸不着头脑的改编，选角也有很严重的问题。Anita确实是最好的，拿到奥斯卡最佳女配实至名归了。斯皮尔伯格感觉变身美利坚张艺谋……
但这新瓶装旧酒只停留在了“装了就行”，也不考虑加入一些深处这时代的思考和变化，原版怎么来，这版还怎么来。
作为歌舞片音乐难听是原罪，且主演演技真的不行，后半程的情节也太搞了吧。IMDb 7.5 分是咋来的？难道是原版音乐剧情怀加持？问题是如果原版也是这情节，那也太烂了吧。这片能提名奥斯卡 BP 真的搞笑，不过我怎么有种感觉它还真能得奖呢
史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格2021年作品，翻拍1961年版，剧情及歌舞走得都有点不伦不类。
没看过原版，为什么不直接拍歌舞版罗密欧与朱丽叶呢？
全片大概有十段精彩的歌舞 摄影也很美 看得非常享受 电影本身倒没啥好评价的 希望白雪公主的音乐也好好做 让Zegler小姐唱满两个小时👏
ps.Ansel Elgort在衬托下好高好性感。/ 居然机缘巧合下将两部歌舞片放在一起看了，缘分论案例加一。/ 字幕是英文的，字幕组和我都听不懂西班牙语。
Spielberg and his endless budget only make the film visually appealing, but the old chemistry is missing. One of the drawbacks is the altered storyline does not make sense; the second half entirely lacks focus. Not even mentioning the overloaded autotune. It’s good that they cast real Hispanic actors. Rita Monroe is still killing it!! (She is absolutely terrific, but her role in the remake is a stretch. )
好看哭了！这是部精雕细琢出来的艺术品，Bernstein的交响乐一上来真的是嗨爆了，不知道如果Ansel没出事的话票房会不会不至于那么惨~
比我想象的好，场面调度很漂亮，几个重要的群舞场面也都还算满意，当然似乎也没有胜过原版。WSS有个致命的缺陷，就是男女主角极度缺乏魅力，这一版的这个问题甚至更为突出，这也是我最不满意的部分。唉，谁会不喜欢哥哥嫂子呀！
4.5…主要是看调度去的，基本可以说是“惊心动魄”级，然后这个光真的是太让我大开眼界了…斯皮尔伯格在2021年拍了一部“彩色的黑白片”，想象力与创造力仍然是好莱坞的门面，在他身上有着过去好莱坞的身影
约等于没有翻拍的翻拍，音乐wise倒是更get了，几场群戏非常精彩，还是剧本只能说差强人意，没有新的解构就没有新的精彩了
看下歌舞声的编排，以及老私拿手的调度。中等水准，对老版灵魂复刻，无奈原版就存在槽点缺陷，这部观赏性略胜老版。★★★/6.4
你能看到即便是这么一部脱胎自音乐剧的歌舞片，画面中的光源也要尽量贴合现实逻辑；镜头的调度多变而流畅，电影感非常足；摄影、美术等等方面也呈现了老斯所应当代表的行业标准，应当说老斯的翻新工作是卓有成效的，在继承老版明艳绚丽的视觉风格之余，大大剔除了老版的舞台感和棚拍感，而且整套卡司的演出水准（尤其是群体唱跳段落）真是相当可以，并不比老版逊色。不过问题在于，莎士比亚的文本结合百老汇音乐剧的形态去承托这样一个街区题材，天然带着某种悬浮感和陈旧性。假如真是要严肃且深入地探讨种族、阶层、移民等等命题，那老斯一开始大可不必非得去翻拍《西区故事》。
种族歌舞两群问题青年，男女主结局对比爱情过程太过草率也不符合情理了吧，没看过原版的我？？tonight还是挺好听的
史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格2021年作品，翻拍1961年版，剧情及歌舞走得都有点不伦不类。
看了大概四十分钟后我开始组织吐槽这部电影的语言，诸如人物关系，人物形象如何如何不能让我信服等等，看到九十分钟左右已经放弃了，除开“又臭又长，难看到家”没什么别的好说的。白瞎了那么好的服化道和舞蹈了。
但凡把套当下议题模板的心思花一半在调度上也不至于糟糕成现在这样，一种摄影机的见缝插针。
前一个半小时：要打去练舞室打！后一个小时：为了drama而drama。
场景连贯感不错，调度语言上可圈可点，整体上室外场景的表现比起室内戏更加出彩，特别是"Maria"时俯视镜头里水塘里映出的星光，的确是超越了四方舞台能够表现的浪漫。但是这个“生命诚可贵爱情价更高”的狗血剧情实在是很下头，且过时的话题和价值观没有被赋予新的语境。增加了更多的无字幕西语对白也很匪夷所思，不仅加大理解难度，而且难道不会让观众不自觉地站在白人立场吗？都是涉及拉丁族裔的歌舞片，《身在高地》在视听上完全无法与《西》相比较，但它对少数族裔真正的深入理解恰恰是《西》所欠缺的
