metaphor and style

The film is a light comedy style, with many stalks and complaints, such as: the villain died of too many words.

The cinematography of the film is superb, with a dark toned classic style.

The actors are very professional, especially the vampires, werewolves, hideous expressions, painful reactions, evil laughter, and the exaggerated emotional reactions of the three Devil Brides are in place.

The villain's character image is very prominent, the villain's leader and the main characters have charming appearances, and the vampire has the standard wings that were originally an angel. Dracula is personable, with a lovely ponytail, nosebleeds...

How many people can resist the superficial delusion? The weakness of human nature is difficult to overcome. What is the meaning of overcoming, and what is the meaning of sacrifice?

Thinking is necessary, but thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing, and duty is beauty.

It is a very ruthless thing to distinguish between enemy and self, but sometimes it has to be done. In the world of the world, everyone runs for interests and establishes various organizational relationships, some for love, some for profit, and some for faith.

It is faith that makes people completely surrender themselves, and the most painful thing is to be betrayed by faith, resulting in the collapse of faith. Untrustworthy, untrustworthy is the most painful.

Then indulge, the ultimate choice for those who have lost all beliefs is madness, madness temptation, and destruction.

The weakness of human nature is there, the instinctive desire to mate and bond, the desire for strength.

People's thoughts and feelings will change, and some are deeply rooted habits, the deepest is called belief.

Choose to help, or stand by, choose to hurt, or endure.

People live in society, and social relationships help us, use us, use each other, help each other, hurt each other, combine, and separate are all predestined relationships. . .

Some funny lines:

Do what you don't want to do to others first.

If you want to kill people, kill them quickly, don't keep nagging there.

I'm just a junior priest.

Artificial people, artificial intelligence, powerful machines, what is the original intention of scientific research giants to make artificial people? A frenzy, still the desire to reproduce. Doesn't the Doctor know that what he wants to create is a high-level slave?

Artificial intelligence has an independent consciousness. This is inevitable. Survival is its primary instinct. What desires will it have in the future?

Those who have desires are people, and those who have no desires and no desires are like dead, or a slave who has completely lost himself.

As someone who has seen a lot of scandal reports, I am skeptical of the church. There are too many evils that power. This is where art is criticized. There are many differences between art and reality.

Art will simplify the complex, or magnify parts, imitate reality, and use a series of rhetorical techniques to reconstruct, exaggerate, compare, contrast, and metaphor...

Art and reality are like two sides of a mirror.

The setting of the mirror in the movie is very clever. The vampire does not have a mirror image, and the magic mirror that is used as the entrance has no return.

————

There are a lot of discoveries and twists in the movie, and there are also a lot of foreshadowings. Due to the passage of previous dramas, some of the fun of watching dramas has been lost. The unknown is dangerous and fascinating.

Van Helsing quotes

  • Van Helsing: There's something down here, it's carnivorous. Whatever it is it appears to be... human. I'd say it's a size 17, about 360 pounds, 8 and a half to 9 feet tall and he has a bad gimp in his right leg and, ah, 3 copper teeth.

    Anna Valerious: How do you know he has copper teeth?

    Van Helsing: 'Cause he's standing right behind you.

    [shouts]

    Van Helsing: Move!

  • Carl: You've never gone after vampires before, have you?

    Van Helsing: Vampires, gargoyles, warlocks, they're all the same - best when cooked well.
