"Dnevnoy dozor" the street speeding, time freeze, and super power contests all seem familiar or even a little familiar. Fortunately, Hollywood elements are not all of "Dnevnoy dozor". In the film, the light and dark forces are interdependent and monitor each other. The bright side has the dirty side of the light side, the dark side has the true feelings of the dark side, and the change of one side brings a devastating disaster. The eternal father-son complex in traditional Russian literature also continues in this movie. The bright side and the dark side each have a father-son relationship. The trivial details are inextricably linked with the accident and the overall grand theme of the film, pushing the plot to a climax step by step. Many Russian myths and legends are incorporated into the film, which makes the film exude an exotic atmosphere that is completely different from that of Hollywood

"Dnevnoy dozor"'s magical style, super cool shots and fast editing make the audience hooked, but the plot makes many people confused. It does not have a mass base like the Lord of the Rings, and fortunately it has a strong visual impact. There are a lot of fashion elements in the film: electronic rock music, animation, and video games. These elements are displayed through technical means such as CG stunts, upgrades, downgrades, and freezes, almost becoming a half-time "audiovisual carnival show." The unforgettable passages of this kind in the film emerge in endlessly, and the last passage where the world faces destruction is almost a perfect embodiment of "destroy aesthetics"
