In order to avoid the outbreak of the Fourth World War, the ruler organized a force named Gulamandun Priest. The highest leader was the godfather, and the members were called priests. Their task was to find and eliminate person-to-person. The true source of brutality. They discovered that there is a disease hidden in the human heart. The symptoms are hatred, anger, anger, and war. This disease is human emotion. So a drug called Pasim was invented, which can completely suppress human emotions. People must take it on a fixed point. Those who do not take the drug will be treated as emotional prisoners and eliminated. Under such a rule, there is bound to be resistance, and with confrontation, there is a story.
There are many elements in the film, but none of them are themes. Totalitarian rule, harsh control, indiscriminate killing of innocents for a slogan, hostility to personal emotions, hatred of artworks (like Yeats’s poems, Leonardo’s paintings, Beethoven’s music, etc.) It seems to find a reason to oppose the existence of the organization; the grand architecture, the monotonous color mainly gray and black, the uniform uniform, the uniform office environment, the large-scale collective activities, the godfather like the big brother, etc. seem to make the film have the " The spirit of "1984" and "Wonderful Fantasy"; the dazzling fighting scenes and the super personal ability of the protagonist can be compared with "The Matrix"; the protagonist's transformation from a suppressor to a rebel, Yeats's poetry The influence of the characters seems to make people think that "Eavesdropping Storm" actually has its shadow. What needs to be reminded is that don't be confused by these elements, the film is not about these, it is just an action film wrapped in these elements, nothing more.
The protagonist John Preston is a senior priest and Ouchi's number one master. He not only used guns and martial arts to the extreme, he could also sense the position of contraband with his heart. At first he was a loyal Gulamandon priest, cold-blooded and ruthless, his wife was cremated without grief, ordered the burning of "Mona Lisa", and personally killed the partner who read Yeats's moving poems. Until he was moved by Beethoven’s music and saw the beauty of the world under the sun, he stopped taking Parsim and saved the puppy’s life in a hidden way. He began to awaken and had pain and joy, and human emotions began to resurrect. . The cremation of the partner couple caused him to completely fall to the opposite side of the ruler, began to actively search for the resistance organization, and eventually killed the godfather. This is like a story of self-soul salvation, like the secret police who was influenced by the life of wiretapping in "Eavesdropping Storm", but I feel that there is still something missing, just a little lack of flavor, which makes this salvation seem inconsistent. Not so touching.
Having said so much, I haven't gotten into the subject yet, in fact, what I want to say most is that this movie has been playing cool all the time. What is being cool, there is no clear definition, but you can feel it in some movies, such as "The Matrix." Shortly after the beginning of the film, Preston kills all the resisters in a dark room. The scene is the best thing to do. He is alone, the figure projected by the explosive flash of gunpowder, and the barrel of the gun that glows red in the dark after the battle. In the final decisive battle, Preston cut off his new partner's face also very crisp. The poster of this film is that the protagonist is dressed in black, holding guns in both hands, standing in the center of the screen, how it looks like the poster of "The Matrix I".
Although "Torn Doom" incorporates a lot of heavy elements, it can't sink, can't regain it, and can be easily read through. It is a packaged action movie with cool fighting scenes and very entertaining. What's interesting is that the original Gun Kata in the film has a dedicated website ( http://www.gunkatta.com/home.htm ).
