Vin Diesel played Calder, an undead hunter who was cursed by witches, and several of the other leading actors who played with him had more or less "love-hate entanglements" with the "Witcher". From "A Song of Ice and Fire", "The Savage Ygritte" Luros Leslie plays the witch "Dream Walker" Chloe, who not only helps Calder fight BOSS, but also helps him through his heart. magic. "Frodo" Elijah Wood of "Lord of the Rings" and our old actor Michael Caine play two "Dolan", one young and one old.
The film begins 800 years ago in the Middle Ages, and Vin Diesel appears in front of people as a Nordic Viking with a great sword. The braided beard, thick and crazy lines, and fighting scenes, anime and game styles are quite characteristic. In the duel with the witch, Vin Diesel eventually defeated the witch with a flaming greatsword. The use of flames to eliminate witches may be because of the medieval Europe in the real society. At that time, people believed that witches and wizards were the culprits of unfortunate accidents such as natural disasters and plagues. Nearly 100,000 "witches" were executed by burning the stake.
At that time, the method of the Inquisition to try witches was often unreasonable. For example, if a witch was thrown into the river, if it floated up, it was guilty, and if it sank, it was innocent. In short, at that time, almost no one who passed the religious trial was spared, because according to the standards of the time, as long as everyone was a wizard. The witch hunt in Europe lasted for more than 200 years, killing more than 100,000 innocent people, and most of the victims were women, which is an indelible mark in history. In the film, the heroine Chloe, as a kind young witch, helps Calder fight against the black magic witch and prevent the release of the plague. Ironically, the elders of the "Holy Axe Society", an organization that nominally opposes witches, resurrected witches intentionally or unintentionally, and gathered a large number of evil wizards. This kind of plot setting may be a moment of silence for the women who were once persecuted in the dark period under the rule of the church.
The same type as the previous exorcism theme, a large number of mysterious symbols, various magic and other elements appeared in the film. And the "pentagram" as a symbol of evil in religion has also appeared many times in the movie. If you are careful, you will find that whenever the "pentagram" appears, Vin Diesel will be in danger.
As the coexistence of humans and wizards, the "Holy Axe Society" is a mysterious and unknown organization in the film, and its "Holy Axe Society" emblem is composed of one large and two small, three crosses and an axe. up. Why use three crosses? In Christianity, three is the combination of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the film, such an image is obviously very suitable as the emblem of the "Holy Axe Society".
While the film has paid great attention to the details, as a Hollywood blockbuster costing 90 million US dollars, it is obvious that the CG effect is passable. The images of flies in the sky, rotting witches, vines all over the city, towering trees, roaring flames, and sentinels scattered and reorganized are really addictive. Meanwhile, if you like the feel of a heartbeat, that insecurity that exists at all times in the dark pervades the film.
