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.
之前没有接触过的IP。影片以一场婚礼开始结束于一场葬礼，循环往复一如唐顿庄园的兴衰。人物众多，故事线却很清晰，老钱和新贵间的碰撞很有趣味。服化道场景制作精良，不过剧情过于平白稍显沉闷。
夹杂各种对初识的别扭感，和之后的人物形象多少有些出入
内容上，老爷发现自己有可能是私生子的时候第一反应是自己是个混血私生子有没有继承权？后面还硬圆回来说我很高兴我是我爸的儿子，真下头啊...夫人对老爷的爱还是真是感人啊，I have money and you're in need of it...还有还有托马斯的情节又删了是吗？我不理解...还有玛丽老公演员是没档期吗，怎么两部都不好好参演，给我一种丧偶式婚姻的感觉，我当时就想不如跟这电影导演两个过浪漫生活了，让我很不爽。
最近可以说是中了《唐顿庄园》的毒，因为电影版第二部又上映了。这个华服霓裳的故事，又续写了。看完以后让人不胜唏嘘。如果将来还拍电视剧集版，奶奶的去世，会影响电视剧集的剧情走向吗？我还一度以为这就是整个故事的大结局。
人物很繁杂，剧情很抓马，其实英文名的“New Era”更点题。一个婚礼一个葬礼，从拍默片到拍有声电影，属于唐顿的时代终于落幕了，不过大小姐掌家的感觉真好啊。不得不说管家艳福齐天，每集都能找到好对象，这次还攀上了好莱坞明星~
Goodbye, Lady Grantham.
《鬼灭之刃 灶门炭治郎 立志篇》Ep11-14，我妻善逸、嘴平伊之助（山猪面具男）悉数登场，鼓屋的设计相当精巧有趣，唯一不足就是善逸这个角色太过中二
很有意思，看似沉重的新旧时代交替、现实的经济问题啃噬着华丽的往日旧梦，都在每个人可爱幽默的演绎下消解了。久违的优雅，台词精致又犀利，丝毫不会让人觉得矫情。多线叙事处理得很得体，节奏也不错，最后汇合到葬礼上，工整有序。这种工整也体现在处处可见的对比中：婚礼对葬礼、死亡对新生、甚至前作中代表传统刻板的皇室也对应着开放多变的电影业。借由拍电影让唐屯走进新时代，也是很好的创意，迷影向讨喜。完全不用担心没看过前作或者没看过剧，人物虽多，但由于特征比较明显，性格也比较突出所以容易区分，关系很快就理个七七八八。看完这个再去补了前一部电影版，很多细节就突然说得通了，比如小胡子男明星和巴里之间那种暧昧。
當片頭音樂在電影院響起，竟然覺得很感動，《唐頓莊園》承載了太多的記憶。想去法國南部度假。
老爷在第一部大电影首映之前的采访中说了会有三四五六部居然是真的？？？？
元电影这层处理地很有意思。双线叙事增添了不少乐趣，可惜没多大关联。
每一集新的都能翻出花来，又是感动满满。希望可以继续拍下去拍到Mary变老。
10，😭😭😭😭😭大起大落哭死我了，舍不得老夫人啊😭😭😭😭
看着时间在无限列车前面，说实话没看过漫画，真没觉得无限列车可以排日本影史票房第一。
Tv版本11-14
