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.
即使是个谎言也希望它是美好的，最后还是忍不住酸了鼻子。里面的歌曲还蛮好听的。
Every time Amy Adams showed up with her sad tearful smile, I became a crying mess on automatic. I don’t blame Evan for going along with the lie. Also, I can’t recall crying as hard as near the end of the “so big/so small” song (oh wait I do recall, last time it was when I was watching that lesbian movie about painting a girl on fire)
怎么说呢，有那么好的音乐打底不会太差，Julianne Moore唱的真好，但是。。。不像一个电影
社恐自卑内向不会人际交往等很好的社会话题，故事如果不用唱歌的形式拍就符合我的期待了，能把简单的小故事讲好感人比宝莱坞式演技好多了。
看了前十分钟，就知道不太行。没有把重心放到讲故事上面。
一大早跑去电影院看的 很接近生活 那些琐碎的事 但是这个道理又讲的不深不浅 如果结尾能处理成他的谎言被识破 然后身心重创自杀 其他人的各种反应 冲击力会更大
看过剧版之后电影版实在拍得太差了
Ben Platt就是Evan Hansen本人 无论20岁还是40岁 不接受反驳！况且本人根本没有很显老啊

有几首很喜欢的歌被删了，有点遗憾但也能理解。第三幕康纳的那首新歌加得很棒，没有试图解释太多或想让人一下就理解他，但提供了一个能窥见康纳另一面的机会。这既给了康纳家人和埃文些许安慰，也给了观众一个情绪出口。
但是真的这个剧情是硬伤啊——回头都是一场空，对康纳也毫无尊重而言，对善良的墨菲家真的是很大的伤害啊，电影删掉的good for you和finale，以及后面高潮的处理也不够好，新加入的曲子也不够好听……综上，实在要在我的超强埃文汉森滤镜下扣一星
相比剧略遗憾删除了三首歌、有时引入略突兀。但结局的改编很不错，社恐演得极其真实。
删掉了两首和主题关系比较浅的两首歌，加了个同是抑郁的学生主席的独唱，曲目中间的转场引入也改动得更顺畅了，主题立意也表达得更好了。但总觉得音乐剧非常棒改成电影反而失去了原本的一些味道，有点四不像。ben platt演得很卖力但真的年纪大了不适合这个少年的设定，摩尔大姐也严重超龄了，原来的妈妈唱得好多了…
画面与节奏结合非常好甚至超出预期，但问题在于画面的非真实性，以及可视化效果没做好，人们心里已经有足够对于DAH的设想，而这版不足以满足
因为内在原因，DEH真是我最最能从个人角度去共鸣的音乐剧了，音乐的出色是它的灵魂，使得影版都无法割舍，甚至在这里，开头的Waving through a window有让我欣喜，For forever让我直接哭了出来，Requiem我从音乐剧喜欢到电影，而You will be found，是我永恒的软肋，一听就泣不成声。
看完剧再看电影就是水土不服 不过小本实力毋庸置疑就是了
Seeing is believing. The movie was a mess. Razzie-worthy director. Hope he won't get snubbed lol.
两位母亲开场合唱可能形式上不太好改编删了尚可理解，但是都拿出baseball了居然跳过To break in a glove…？Ben的表演还是在舞台剧呈现模式没有切换过来。So big/so small最佳，期待Moore姨唱Good for you结果也删了，Heidi的角色还没有Murphy家妈妈立体。最后原创的A little closer的段落+这首歌可以加一星。
