The western vampire story has always been based on the legend of Earl Dracula, and there are also themes such as the fateful showdown with the werewolves, but this story takes place in the east. I haven't read the original comics, so I am quite dissatisfied with the film's screenwriter. The story of the film is extremely poor, the plot is very far-fetched, there is no suspense and twists, and it is completely for killing. The supporting role was actually a woman, and she didn't see any need for her existence. If it's a Hollywood screenwriter, specify it to be of the opposite sex, and then come to a love scene, and then come to a love scene. As for the action scene, it reminded me of "Kill Bill", the blade flashed, dripping blood splashed, and slow motion. In the details, Jun Ji-hyun's sailor outfit is very ridiculous, and the Japanese who plays the true ancestor in English is really bad. The result of internationalization is that the East is unpopular, and the West cannot sell tickets.
There is a strange phenomenon in manga adaptation movies. American manga live-action movies are generally well received, while Japanese manga live-action movies are full of curse. I think that’s because American comics are generally relatively simple, nothing more than super heroes save the earth and other themes, just change some special effects and costumes; while Japanese comics, especially adult comics, generally have twists and turns and bizarre stories and personalities. Distinctive characters form the author's unique world outlook and ideological connotation. If it is made into a movie, the director must understand the thoughts that he wants to express in the comics. It's a pity that the director was influenced by American comics and live-action movies, blindly making a fuss about the scenes and actions, and let the work lose its soul. The magical work in the minds of comics fans becomes such a superficial and vulgar thing on the big screen, which of course makes them unacceptable. There is also the issue of the length of the movie. American comics can be an episode of a BOSS. If the box office is not good, the series can be ended at any time; while Japanese comics are a continuous and complete story. Generally, the producer will only produce one due to the security of the box office. , And to condense dozens of episodes of the TV version to less than 2 hours, it is inevitable to chop off many details, leaving only the general story frame, which is also a big reason for the failure of the adaptation.
