The off-topic works are far-fetched to religion, but they only know salvation in religion.

Season of the Witch. For this kind of off-topic works, although I like Nicolas Cage, it still can't increase my love for the film. Nowadays, there are quite a few works that fall into stereotypes. Religion is always about redemption and redemption. And being redeemed is the most fundamental starting point of God's will. Taking this angle is actually a cliché. The picture processing of the film is good. I originally wanted to summarize it as a gothic film, because of some of the scenes that are often featured: the steeple church, the crows, the black cover, the picture is dilapidated but beautiful, but I didn't see the brother The human struggle and self-salvation that special films should have, it can be said that they have been rescued by religion without struggling. Therefore, this film can only be a heroic religious film, nothing more.

The film also talks about religion. Once abandoned, once suspected, religion itself is just a metaphysical thing, and it is normal for ideas to be doubted. The director uses heroism to save and be saved, sacrifice and survival, evil and kindness to embody the holiness, and use an endlessly beautiful future to appease the hearts of the people. Nan Ke, who will be redeemed, wakes up in dissatisfaction from a dream.

Some people commented that it was a pure gaming movie. Three warriors plus a paladin, and a priest to pass the level together. Fighting the boss to the end, although the team is completely destroyed, it can be regarded as a customs clearance. I wanted to laugh at it, but found that the film is indeed the case. The too clear main line hardly gives people any space for self-distribution, and occasionally the only thing that catches the eye is the terrifying atmosphere set off in the film, but it always flashes by. If a movie allows the audience to understand the main line and ending from the beginning, perhaps more efforts should be made in other aspects such as special effects technology.

Originally, I thought that this would be a pure magic film, and I was full of expectations, but who knows, it is just a religious propaganda film that sells dog meat in sheep's clothing. Really disappointed.

At this point, I am still thinking, if Tim Burton directs, what kind of surprises will he bring us?
