[Season of the Witch] (2011) was a good movie ten years ago

After watching the film, I feel pretty good, at least the purpose of passing the time has been achieved, and the enjoyment has no side effects. Knowing that there are a lot of negative comments on this film, I personally think that if it was put ten years ago (that is, the magic theme is very rare, and there is no online game), the audience's taste should not be so unreasonable.

Catch the "Brave to the Dead Island" many years ago, and brought Cage to the status of today's mainstream male star (of course I went to see Sean), it is said that the later "Face Change" and "City of Angels" "It's also very nice. Warners liked to make suspenseful and absurd movies back then, so they also customized a "Stickman" for Cage. Cage's acting skills are really good.

Of course, after watching "National Treasure" and "King of War" and the like, I found that the way of play is limited, so when I watched "Foreseeing the Future", "The Prophet", etc., I always felt that the taste was wrong - even now "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "The Witch" "The Season" was questioned by the audience - in fact, if you have seen "King Bian", everyone should understand that it is not easy for Cage to continue to be the "king of commercial films" under certain limitations. Since it is a commercial film, the return must be more and investment. , it is inevitable that there will be good and bad.

Come back and talk about the film, two knights who hate the savage invasion of the Crusaders under the banner of the church are forced to continue to serve the church on their way back home, escorting a witch who was ruled by the church to cause the outbreak of the Black Death all over the world to the church headquarters for trial ( It was also sent to be purified). Various emergencies and supernatural events along the way caused the escort team to continue fighting and attrition, but when they arrived at the destination, they found that the plague had also swept the place. So the story climaxed. The girl was not a witch, but was possessed by a devil. The devil was deliberately caught and escorted by the church in order to destroy a certain Bible that recorded spells at the church headquarters. Then the man and the devil fought. The priest died before he could use the spell on the bible. The children who went with him picked up the bible and continued to recite. Finally, the knight held up the devil at the cost of his life, so that the spell could be successfully completed, and the world was peaceful again

... After reading it, I don't really feel bad. When Cage and his entourage set off, they said that the straight-line distance of this journey is about 6 miles (that is, less than 7 kilometers), and the detours over mountains and mountains will arrive in one day and one night (the length of the film is only more than 1. Hour). Some viewers feel that there is no unexpected incident on the road, so they can only say that it is better to go and see the Lord of the Rings...

Of course, my only resentment is that, according to what the devil said, for thousands of years, it is to destroy this last Bible-according to the strength of this buddy, it is not possible that this monastery that houses the Bible has not been found for thousands of years, right? Saddam bin Laden was found out in less than five years. Even if this monastery is protected by a guy named Dumbledore, it can't stand you throwing a fireball or something

. The audience mentioned that the "professional" collocation of the escort team was unreasonable. It was all warrior paladins, what kind of spell did the priest use, and it took so long to read the article, and the Boss rushed over and dropped it before finishing it. If there is a mage archer or something in the team, it should not end up with the result that all the warriors are killed in hand-to-hand combat-then I can only say that they originally planned to go to the monastery to get the spell-casting materials, and did not plan to download a copy, so- everyone Audience, why don't you go see The Lord of the Rings...

After the millennium, there are too many magical themes, and everyone's tastes are heavy. The grand structure of "The Lord of the Rings", the depth of thinking like "The Hacker Matrix", the huge adventure like "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the birth of many online games with a high popularity rate - if this film is placed in ten Years ago, it was really a top-notch work, and I don't know if the producer had prepared the script ten years earlier, just waiting for the development of computer technology like Cameron.

Well, the flaw in the film, the suspension bridge between the cliffs, the bridge is flat when Cage leads the horse over, the bridge is concave when the carriage is pushed up, the bridge is flat when the carriage stops in the middle, and the carriage pushes The bridge became concave again when I got off the bridge~
