      A bloody case caused by a "ligation operation"

      I haven't read the original book, and I haven't seen Sun Watchmen.
          The night watchman has only watched it once, and the general plot is clear. The only question: why did Yegor's father Anton do a "ligation operation"?
          Two guesses: 1. Anton foresaw the "rebel"? 2. Anton's wife Hong Xing went out? This movie seems to be the first. If it is the second type: Anton's wife Hongxing is out of the wall, Anton is deeply hit, he finds a private clinic along the direction of the...

      Philosophy from the Night Watch

      The word "philosophy" is full of foreign flavors. At the end of the 19th century, the Japanese Western Zhou translated the Greek word philosophia into Chinese "philosophy". Huang Zunxian introduced this word into China, which seemed to spark a debate about whether there was philosophy in China. We all know, yes, there must be. For example, Confucius has successfully put on many hats on the world stage, one of which is a philosopher. Of course, philosophy itself is the main battlefield of...

      spastic clip

      "Night Watch" was the film that knocked "Team 9" out of the top spot in Russia, and what I didn't expect was that the outcome might have been the goal they set for themselves when they shot it. Because there is a very interesting section in the film, when Anton shuttles between two spaces (similar to The Matrix), he uses two billboards to switch, and one of the smashed signs is the giant of "Team 9". Advertising :)
       
      The box office itself is a poison. A film that can beat "Team 9" can...

      I don't understand why so many people say yes

      I feel that there are too many things in the script that the director can't control at all. In the world war between good and evil, it was just those faces over and over again, and a rookie like pig's feet seemed to be indispensable everywhere. He was incapable of anything, and even his son had to specially send two commissioners to protect him. By the way, shouldn't it be a nosebleed for a child to be seduced by the magic sound? They lost their demented appearance before, but the two...

      what dick thing is this

      In fact, I didn't think it was too bad when I first watched this ghost movie. The problem is, I read the original book with a hand, and then completely fell in love with Sergey's children's shoes.

      In fact, the first time I read the original book of "Night Watchman", I didn't think it was too awesome, because the translation of the first humane was too poor, and I even had the illusion of "what kind of dick thing is this". It was not until "Emissary of Twilight" that I slowly entered...

    Movie plot

In order to avoid losing both sides, the two sides signed a one-thousand-year contract and...

    Creative process

    The news of the filming of "Nochnoj dozor" began at the end of 2000 when the POLIGON production company purchased its copyright, and Evgeny Feodlov gave the original work to Victor Alisovd. Victor immediately decided to be the producer of the film. He is determined to take advantage of this opportunity to film a magical history related to real life in Moscow. The film was titled "The Vampires of Moscow" and the deputy director was...

    Evaluation action

    "Nochnoj dozor" combines dazzling special effects, bloody abnormalities   . Beckmanbetov dressed Moscow as a world full of witches, werewolves, and vampires. The use of some expressionist elements made this movie more visually impactful (Timeline Review)  . Although it is somewhat "dyslexic" according to foreign audiences, the unique and alternative world view and rigorous system settings are also the magic that can create commercial...

    • [Kostya and his father are in the meat locker at the butcher shop. After drinking pig's blood, Anton has just left]

      Vampire, Kostya's father: Why did you bring him?

      Kostya: He became like us.

      Vampire, Kostya's father: No, Kostya. He's a Light one. And Light ones only drink blood in one situation... when they're hunting those like us.

    • [Geser lies on the floor with a book, telling the tale of the Virgin of Byzantium, the origin of the Others, the Great War, and the prophecy of the Great Other]

      Geser: ...And so it will be, until a man emerges who is meant to become the Great One. And, if he chooses the side of Light, then Light will win. But, those, to whom the truth has been revealed, say that he will choose Darkness. For it is easier to kill the Light within oneself, than to scatter the Darkness around... The prophecies are coming true.
