回复 :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.

回复 :우리 몸에 버튼이 있어. 그 버튼을 누르면 안 좋은 기억들이 싹 지워져.나쁜 거 쪽팔린 거 안좋은 거 전부 다…근데 자기는 모르고 다른 사람한테만 보여. 진심이 있는 사람에게만.정남은 명품 대신 짝퉁을 배달한다. 진이는 꽃 대신 몸을 판다.세탁소 앞 골목길, 진이가 숫자를 세며 누군가를 기다린다. 하지만 아무도 오지 않는다. 그런 진이를 정남은 계속 지켜본다. “지금 몇 시예요?” 몇 번 말을 걸어보지만 진이는 매번 처음인 듯 냉랭하기만 하다. 사창가 뒷골목에서 포주인 용수에게 맞고 있는 진이를 정남이가 구해주었을 때도 이들은 처음 만난 듯 어색하다. 그러던 어느 날, 건달 손님에게 두들겨 맞고 쓰레기 더미에 쓰러져 있는 정남을 진이가 발견하고 자기 집으로 데려간다. 거리를 배회하며 엇갈리기만 했던 두 사람은 함께 지내고 여행을 떠나는 등 가까워진다. 사랑을 위해 새로운 삶을 꿈꾸는 두 사람, 이들의 사랑은 이루어 질 수 있을까?
