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.
紧紧凑凑的一部剧，soon we all say goodbye
看完现场之后补标，为原卡女机长加一星。 / 近景少了很多舞台细节，但演员的表演更有感染力。片头和片尾都有一点感动。
想到一句不太相关的话“无尽的远方，无数的人，都与我有关”。
二刷才感到Something's Missing才是题眼，灾难的痛苦不会因善意而模糊。
除此之外，剧本本身对911事件给美国社会心理带来的各方面影响的刻画也是相对比较到位的。
We honor what we lost,we also commemorate what we found.
They say no man's an island, but an island makes a man.
这个剧情也不能说不行 毕竟本来也不能怎么改编 不过觉得故事选取可以更好点 总的来说就是平淡 但又不像乐队来访那样有深层的情感 无意中就能打动人 音乐一般
泪流满面，太久没看音乐剧了，心跳加速，想念可以去剧院看引进剧的日子
多场景人物是个挑战 ，但演员们利用换装、语言、腔调、个人特色和集体行动进行了不错的区分。从因911事件而被困的航班乘客角度来看具体生活，这个根据真实事件改编的故事变得温暖而有力—互帮互助、团结友爱才是人与人间关系的真谛。故事线与音乐台词前后映照、完整叙述，引人深思。Suddenly我喜欢上了机长姐姐的嗓音与气质，并成为了她的小迷妹！& I'm an islander. Welcome to the rock! 2021年版官摄
好高级的🍁纽芬兰宣传片！最后半颗星加给乐队表演。什么时候才能再去百老汇🥺
在演出又被疫情取消的晚上看完了2020年因为疫情被取消的CFA。我真的太久没看过global视角+充满diversity的引进剧了…泪点很多，最戳我心的还是Me and the Sky。
当生活被灾难按下了暂停键，内心的某些地方会变得不同，也许是感恩生活，也许是增加仇恨。没有人在灾难中一无所获。台上的演员高矮胖瘦都有，岛民和乘客身份随时切换，非常出彩。
太想念剧场了。本来看到简介的时候很疑惑，这么现实这么像新闻报道的故事用音乐剧表现不会很奇怪吗，看了以后震撼又感动。歌曲、表演、编排等等都很好，原卡官摄很好，要是有机会看现场就好了。
富足的精神食粮！好期待能去百老汇现场把音乐剧看个够！（但是对于台北那一句我还是有点敏感了） 2021.12.26
人类在遇到遭遇苦恼的另一批人的时候，是会选择善良对待，还是像b站911视频里那些带着仇恨的人一样呢？我选择相信世间的爱，这和圣经的章节一样，希望是能永远不变的。
看前半个小时的时候感觉特别惊艳，后面渐渐就有些腻乏了
比想象的欢乐，虽然有些笑点没get到。基于911背景的真实故事，又是疫情期间百老汇恢复的第一次演出，现实意义远大于内容。作为一部音乐剧，感觉唱段有点少，也没有太令人印象深刻的曲子。机长的高音真是又稳又轻松，Diane那段I'm here也很棒
感觉收音有一点问题，除此之外完美得不能再完美
过度煽情，但眼泪不值钱，歌不错，特别是机长姐姐那首。
