The ancient European Byzantium was originally a symbol of the prosperity of the Eastern Roman Empire.
When I saw Byzantium, I thought of it as the Pope, corruption, cruelty, and feudal darkness.
In that era, the pope controlled the rule of the monarch with the help of God's power.
God's words were defiled by them.
But don't forget that Byzantium is now Turkey and Istanbul.
The rules are destined to be broken.
It is the same as the discrimination against women by patriarchy from ancient times to the present.
This pair of vampire mother and daughter broke centuries of decadent rules.
Created a new era of vampires.
The other reason I like this movie is the actors.
Not to mention the two heroines.
Actors often appear on the big screen.
The bad colonel is Elementary and New Holmes.
The blood-sucking male teacher once appeared in the Governor of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Saoirse Ronan, I saw her acting in a movie very early.
She is very talented.
Starting from the glimmer city, he gradually entered the careers of various major directors.
I saw her recently at The Host.
It feels very good.
She is especially suitable for this kind of literary and fresh movie with a trace of darkness hidden in it.
And Gemma Arterton is even more amazing.
She is not a beautiful woman in the typical sense.
There is no melon seeds and the face is full of freckles.
But she is suitable to play that kind of European classical goddess.
Coupled with her mouthful of English accent.
It's too vulgar.
I recently saw her acting in the movie Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters with Jeremy.
In short, this movie has a very different feeling.
Five-star recommendation.
