喜欢极了这个片子。
希望结局上半段是真的,那把剪刀带出的实在是通常意义上的基因遗传,效果也非常惊悚。。
可惜,导演还是没有这样安排。
连环杀手买一个墓地。
这主意哦。。
好棒。
借刀杀人到这个地步,将一开始的被勒索一点点转变为控制局面,这个主意哦。。
我喜欢。
其实我看到的,不止是所谓双重人格分裂的老套故事。
而是克服另一个自己。
女警也是。
很多时,我们都希望有别人来杀掉自己,只因为必定有那么一个自己是自己不喜欢的,要抵抗却难以抵抗的。
片中是杀人,讲的极端,但也可以是懒惰、无爱、空虚……孩子也会是另一个自己。
有时会很惊悚,因为你不晓得她是继承了哪一个你。
音乐也喜欢。

为什么这是一部好片?
连环杀手可以说几乎是最不令人待见的题材,面对多条生命的毁灭,观众们具备了不逊于杀手一般的冷静的品质。
不就是死几个人么?
何况又不够血腥,人皮客栈那样的血肉横飞流似乎还能稍微撩动观众们厚重的神经,但又转瞬即逝,不给人留下任何印象。
布鲁克斯先生作为一部题材古旧,场面不算血腥,有没有过多限制级镜头的影片,何以成为一部好片的么?
我想只因为一个字,“抗争中的人性”。
上面有位朋友写了很好的评论,叫“每个人心中都有Marshell”,我深以为然。
Dark side不仅仅存在于电影和Stephen King的小说中,它潜伏在人心最阴暗的角落。
当主体意识恍惚时,它便会趁机而出。
这就是为什么世界著名的连环杀手一般都是著名的精神病患者。
但Mr.Brooks超越了该层面的潜意识的控制剧情,达到了一个新的高度,即本我与超我的竞争。
影片中Brooks先生无疑是成功的,身居高位,爱好慈善,笃信上帝。
可以说是社会的精英,salt of the earth。
其实要成为这样一个人不难,只要严格遵守条条框框,压抑不为社会主流接受的欲望即可。
但Brooks没有那么好运,他一方面祈求能维持自己超我的理智,一方面还要受到本我的引诱。
影片一开始的祷告是很好的诠释,我们甚至可以感受到他苦苦抗争的颤抖的心灵。
悲剧就是把人的命运毁灭给人看,我想说有时候无需毁灭,也是悲剧。
Brooks先生虽然还活着,但谁能否认他已经身在地狱?
日复一日的抗争,难道不是最大的惩罚?
其实欲望如影随形,从不曾离去。
MY GOD,请赐予我宁静,去接受我所不能改变的。
请赐予我勇气去改变我所能改变的。
并赐予我智慧去分辨两者的不同。
-《布鲁克斯先生》我对于关于欲望超脱的电影的兴趣似乎比关于爱情的电影更为热烈。
我一直以为当一个人欲望炽烈,他很难拥有爱意。
当一个人充满了爱意,他的欲望将会被沉淀,乃至不断的沉沦我一直相信爱恋的本质正是这欲望的沉沦。
而更为可怕的竟原来是这充满爱的欲望,他能够如此娴熟平静的的运用其高超的智慧,灵巧的心灵来如此艺术性的杀人。
Hitler是这方面的典型。
如果没有楠楠,我也会有这方面的趋势,一种极端自私偏狭强烈的爱。
《布鲁克斯先生》。
8分。
凯文·科斯特拉主演作品。
挺好,看得特别舒服。
就像布鲁斯·威利斯的《第六感》一样,凯文饰演的布鲁克斯先生全片不停地和自己的灵魂、人性的黑暗面对话,既有对抗也有互助。
这种类型片既有灵异、也有动作和犯罪,这一点华语电影完全有机会模仿学习的,潘粤明主演的《白夜追凶》也有这么点意思。
布鲁克斯白天是个优秀的企业家,在包装行业有着极高的要求和声誉,而晚上则是令人惊悚的连环杀手。
震惊全城的大拇指凶杀案正是他所为,他还同时是教会里忏悔的信徒——瘾君子。
在一起作案时,他不慎被偷拍并留下证据;遭证人威胁后,他又遭遇女儿在校意外怀孕事件;而当他准备和证人处理关系时,女儿涉嫌凶案犯罪嫌疑人再次打乱他的生活,此时警察特蕾西也介入凶案证据的调查。
于是他有了一个一网打尽的计划。
这个片子在感官上令人愉悦,精彩的对白,干脆的剪辑;在结局上令人痛快,虽然它是反社会反人类的,它没有做到坏人一定要被严惩。
但它无疑是一部不可多得的佳片。
极端洁癖的人,内心深处一定有一块想痛快污浊的地方。
好比,看似保守的妞,其实床上反而十分疯狂。
那些能被压制在心底的欲望,也是人和动物的区别。
道家思想告诉我们的常无欲,以观其妙;常有欲,以观其徼。
外表彬彬有礼的德国人毛片产量却是世界第一更是证明了道家学说的合理。
本片在所设定的地点,那些作为祖先是新教徒的美利坚继承者,压抑内心欲望者的后代们,出现无数的变态更是理所当然吧,血液里流淌的恶,只会因为文明的进步而隐藏的更深。
全片中女儿的表演算是乏善可陈,其他都算不错,可惜如果布努斯埃文斯最后的结局停在梦醒之前,应该会让邪恶的人对此片更有爱一些。
有點《美国丽人》(American Beauty)的變態版,又是一宗人格分裂的故事。
在人面前中規中矩的中產階級布魯克斯先生,其另一面是連環杀手。
或許,這不應該歸納於人格分裂,只是一個人內心的二種聲音,二種沖突,比較形象地描繪出來。
由始至終,他都很冷靜地知道自己在做什么。
有個鏡頭,非常深刻,他開枪杀人后,閉著眼,陶醉地旋轉了一圈,享受著杀人樂趣,真是無比的變態和病態。
Earl Brooks (Kevin Costner) is a wealthy, successful businessman recently honored by the Portland, Oregon Chamber of Commerce as "Man of the Year." In his secret life, Brooks is a serial murderer, known as the "Thumbprint Killer." Brooks has abstained from murder for the past two years by attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to cope with his killing addiction. He feels the compulsion to kill rising again, however, as his id, Marshall (William Hurt) becomes more insistent. Brooks kills a couple while they are having sex in their apartment and, as part of his pathology, leaves each of the victims' bloody thumbprints on a lampshade. Brooks follows his meticulous modus operandi, including fastidious preparation and cleaning up the crime scene before departing. Marshall then notices that the couple's curtains were open.Brooks' daughter Jane (Danielle Panabaker) unexpectedly arrives home, having dropped out of college in Palo Alto, California. She visits Brooks at work and mentions that she would like to get a job with his company. The same day, “Mr. Smith” (Dane Cook) turns up at Brooks' work and blackmails him with photographs of Brooks (taken because of the open curtains) at the most recent murder. He demands that Brooks take him along on a murder; reluctantly, Brooks agrees. Mrs. Brooks (Marg Helgenberger) reveals that Jane dropped out of college because she's pregnant. The Brookses are then visited by detectives from Palo Alto who want to interview Jane about a hatchet murder committed in her former dorm building. Marshall and Brooks realize that Jane committed the murder and consider letting her go to jail to "save her" from becoming like them. Eventually, however, Brooks uses an alternate identity, flies to Palo Alto, and commits a similar murder to make it appear as if a serial killer is loose, thereby exonerating Jane.Brooks decides that he no longer wants to kill, but knows that he cannot stop himself. Not wanting to be caught and shame his family, Brooks concocts a plan where he will write a note to his family claiming to be terminally ill, and leave, never to return. Brooks researches the background of the police officer chasing the Thumbprint Killer, Detective Tracy Atwood (Demi Moore), and discovers she's in the middle of a messy divorce from Jesse Vialo (Jason Lewis). Brooks decides that Vialo and his lawyer (Reiko Aylesworth) will be Smith's first "victims". At the scene of the Vialo murder, Smith urinates in a fit of panic, leaving his DNA for the police to discover later. While driving away from the scene, Smith pulls a gun on Brooks, which Brooks and Marshall had predicted would happen. Brooks explains his plan to Smith, who agrees to kill Brooks. Brooks takes Smith to a cemetery he owns, and explains that they will find an open grave; Smith will shoot Brooks and then cover him with just enough dirt to mask the body. The next day, a casket will be lowered into the grave and covered, and Brooks' body will never be discovered.Smith attempts to shoot Brooks, but Brooks reveals that, at some point prior, he had broken into Smith's apartment and bent the firing pin on Smith's pistol, rendering it inoperable on the off-chance that Brooks would change his mind. Brooks' brush with death makes him realize he wants to see his grandchild and he turns on his would-be murderer, slitting Smith's throat with a shovel. As Smith lies dying, Brooks reveals that he used many different MO's before becoming the Thumbprint Killer. With Smith's urine providing the only DNA evidence of the Thumbprint Killer at a murder scene, Brooks will remain undetected.Mr. Smith is named as the Thumbprint Killer and Brooks returns to his normal life. Knowing he is in the clear, Brooks calls Detective Atwood, whom he has come to admire, to ask her why she is a police officer. She replies that her father had wanted a boy, and she wanted to succeed in spite of him. Atwood is unable to trace the call before Brooks hangs up, but she realizes that the Thumbprint Killer is not Smith. That night Brooks has a nightmare in which Jane kills him, suggesting that he fears Jane will become like him.
探讨人性的双面性,展示残忍、阴暗的另一个自己。
布鲁克斯先生是个成功的上流社会人士,热衷慈善,德高望重,家庭美满。
这样一个满分男人,人格里却有着另人不为所知的一面:另一个他自称马歇尔,不断诱使布鲁克斯以杀人为乐。
刚开始看有些头晕,搞不懂马歇尔和厄尔之间的关系,后来明白马歇尔其实是Mr.brooks的双重人格,厄尔足够冷静和机智。
最搞不懂史密斯先生,他是一个十足的蠢货,鉴定完毕,他愚蠢的出场就能预料到他被杀的命运。
第一次接触这种题材的美剧,剧情好评结局潦草~我们总会期待美好,所以避谈人性之恶,于是大丽花总在内心最深处绽放,直到浮出水面才让我们瞠目结舌:真没想到他是这样的人,平时看不出来啊,藏得太深了太变态了。
布鲁克斯先生,道德放一边,人性摆中间,直面灵魂处最黑暗的部分,去表现分裂力量的暴力美学。
自从开始追汉尼拔后,口味越来越重,惊悚啊,连环杀手啊,不在话下。
这片子也是标记杀手电影的时候推荐的。
整体还可以咯,没有我想象中的那种精密策划,一步一步实施的过程。
不过想想也是,要是什么都拍出来了,有观众模仿作案怎么办啊。
布鲁克斯分裂的那个小人儿挺逗的,胆儿还挺小。
看到豆瓣上的影评,人格分裂出来的两个都是坏的,人格分裂什么啊还。
笑尿。
实在没劲也就6分吧,剧情空洞实在难看。
剧本漏洞使趣味没了...
谁心里没有恶魔~
有瘾
没亮点
不知所云
Mr.Brooks真是太帅了,可《Mr.Brooks》却仅仅有个帅大叔男主角而已……
这片让人纠结,一方面电影本身十分精彩,惊悚又刺激,另一方面角色设置非常非常非常非常模式化,模式化到了让人抓狂的地步,且主演都是过气到一定境界的演员们。不知是要给3分还是4分。离优秀只有半步之遥啊。
分裂主义。不知所云。
我最爱的保镖终于也老了。
感觉有点“过犹不及”,演员给五分
人格分裂的心理学范本啊!
有几处总觉得脱节严重,不像是精神分裂,像连环杀人二人组。
不知道为什么,情节就是给不上死星
人格分裂下的杀手,片尾Brooks先生的梦,血浆终于喷涌而出,震撼人心,正所谓虎父有犬女!
6.9;疑点多,很难确定导演的意图
剧情不错...只是没有太多可想的瞬间和细节
优雅么 就是人格分裂挺多余的
又是双重人格的变态杀人,还遗传给下一代,恐怖!最近怎么老是这种片子?好莱坞的编剧都黔驴技穷了吗?
片子很不错 还能更好些
