      "Pitch Black" from a religious point of view

      From the religious point of view

      , there is no evidence to prove that God exists in
      "Pitch Black" ; there is no evidence to prove that God does not exist; so "Pitch Black" discusses two questions:
      Does God exist?
      Is God cruel and ruthless?

      The male protagonist believes that God exists, and he says "I hate God". I think his reasoning is: God is too cruel to leave people in dark sin and fear, and let evil and beasts be king.
      Even when the heroine had a...

      Interstellar legend after watching! ~Write by hand...

      After watching it, I couldn't help but share it with my friends. This should be the most shocking work of all the movies I've seen this year, at least it shocked me.
             The foreshadowing of the first half of the film is completely foreshadowing the subsequent plot, plain and straightforward narrative. But many people said that the beginning part was too boring and maybe it was impatient to leave early, which is understandable.
             I also learned a lot of astronomical knowledge...

      Who killed the heroine? Replay again to confirm.

      Play it back again to confirm that the heroine was killed by the opposite sex.
      At that time, the camera cuts were quicker, and the outline was like this, the heroine hugged Redick, and then their hands were changing positions, and the camera was also changing. Probably due to Redick's injury, in the last scene, the heroine's back, Redick's hand on her shoulder, suddenly made a sharp attack of piercing, the heroine tilted her head back, and Redick was shocked at the same time. A second...

      On how martial arts stars become acting schools

      The two biggest highlights of this film for me are Vin Diesel's acting skills and the setting of the scene.

        At first glance, you will feel that the scene setting of this film is very simple and rough, and there are many loopholes. But the desolation and the oppressive feeling of a primitive world in this kind of arbitrarily discarded ruins are created very well, and they can endure the strangely shaped monster population.

        The male protagonist is a murderer and tries hard...

      Vin Diesel I Got A Crush On U!

      I am not a person who likes fried rice.
      But VD is really my male god!
      So handsome!
      The big muscles still hide a trace of sincerity and warmth in the coldness!
      This is the real man!
      Much more handsome than any Japanese and Korean skinny chicken!
      Back to the film itself.
      Personally, I think this film is already an excellent work of science fiction suspense.
      The killing intent in the dark made me break out in a cold sweat... The
      monsters are so ugly...

      It's still quite vulgar, this kind of movie always has to have a male protagonist, and there is a second male who is the most capable and the least damnable, or can die if he is plugged in by the male lead. , there is a woman who did nothing to hold her back and lived to the end, and there was a virgin heroine who was willing to give her life to drag her feet. The problem is that the heroine wanted to kill everyone at the beginning, this change is really...

    • Fry: You're fucking with me, I know you are.

      Riddick: You know I am? You don't know anything about me. I will leave you here.

    • Fry: [trying to help Riddick get back to the skiff] I said I'd die for them, not you. Come on!

    • William J. Johns: Why don't you just shut up and let me figure out a plan that doesn't involve mass suicide!

      [neither Johns nor Fry says anything for a minute]
