"Defendor" is written and directed by Peter Stebbings, a filmmaker from Canada. It is the first film he produced behind the scenes of the transformation of the performance industry. It is not quite different from other excellent comic-based films. The same is that the reason why Steibing came up with the idea of creating a superhero named "Defendor" was inspired by the works of the 19th century novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky. As a native Canadian actor, Steibing has appeared in the very influential TV series "Madison", "Traders" and "Across the River to Motor City"-in his own words Said that it was in the process of visiting a few good friends in Ontario that he first started to draw the blueprint of the "Defendor" in his mind, Steibing recalled: "In the beginning, there were only intermittents in my mind. There is no continuity. Suddenly, I woke up in bed one day early and found that I had a complete and mature movie concept. In the first two days, I called it " Boxer " (The Pugilist) , And later changed its name to "Defendor"."
At the same time, Peter Steibing also set a very interesting potential meaning in the title of the film. In fact, "Defendor" is a wrong spelling, it should be "Defender", which originated from the protagonist. Arthur Papington is a rough man who is not very good at cultural knowledge. It is Woody Harrelson (Woody Harrelson) who played Arthur in the film . He was once impressed by the image of an alternative murderer in 1994's "Natural Born Killers" (Natural Born Killers). , 2009 also had a wonderful performance in "Zombieland" (Zombieland). "Defendor" because of the dual identity of day and night, and a lovely street girl Kate contacted, there is also a secret undercover police, by Canadian actor Elias Koteas (Elias Koteas) starred, Korean actor Sandra Miju Oh 's role is Arthur’s psychiatrist Dr. Parker-if you are like Arthur, you have to wear a night gown, You are fighting against heavily armed criminals. The weapons in your hands are small pieces made up of improvised pieces, such as glass balls or bees. Then you really need a psychiatrist.
Peter Stebin admitted that in addition to deriving inspiration from the classic Russian literary works, another thing that had a deep influence on him was ""Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), written by Frank Miller (Frank Miller), is a story in the comic series, which not only reawakens the respected "graphic novel" comic format, At the same time, it also led the overall style of painting to a more realistic and tough field. Steibing always remembered that when he was a child, the shock he felt when he saw this comic book for the first time, Like every manga fan of "", he was greatly shocked by Miller's nightmarish description of "" and "Joker" in the real world. Steibing said: "Here is a set of pictures, just It is just a group of pictures, but it has carved a deep trace in my childhood memory, and even produced a visual sense of breaking the shackles of the picture. I still remember that part of the content described a man moving slowly Chewing on a piece of chocolate, his hair covered his eyes, and he just killed someone—it’s such a picture, but it can represent everything. I thought at the time, “I want to write a story like this, around this one. The man unfolds. 'I was only 14 years old that year, but this movie idea took root in my heart like a seed. "
Although what was extracted from it was a very good story material, in fact, Peter Steibing had not been addicted to the world of comics for a long time. He recalled: "My love for comics only lasted for almost 4 years. Over time, I have been fascinated by works such as "The Teen Titans" and Alan Moore's painting style is also very special. In the end, it was Frank Miller , who showed me I have the ultimate imagination of comics."
Later, Peter Stebbing deliberately learned the composition style that laid the foundation from "The Black Knight Reappearance". At the same time, he also decided to find his own stage life in the Junior Theater in Vancouver. He was already pioneering something for his future. A suitable career path, Steibing said: "During my adolescence, these constituted the strong pillars that I was willing to fight for, giving me unprecedented concentration, where I went and where I was. Everything I do is so incredible. The performance experience on stage has accumulated a lot of relevant experience for me. For me, the founder of the theater, Carole Tarlington (Carole Tarlington) is an extraordinary instructor. Although she doesn’t like me playing football very much, she always persuades me to give up and let me put all my energy on the stage, but I am still very grateful to her-it is a wonderful place that gave me self-confidence Since then, I have entered a gorgeous world where I am willing to dedicate my life to it."
