Reason for recommendation: The film is adapted from the comic series "Hell Detective" published by DC Comics/Vertigo, but for the sake of distinction, "Constantine" is used as the title. I personally think that it is even more brilliant, the name "Hell Detective" teacher It reminds me of "Hellboy", the two movies are a year apart, but the appearance of the two male protagonists is really different. "Constantine" actually has a TV series version, and the filming is pretty good. If you don't like the movie, you can go to the series. It is said that at the beginning, the director and the male lead were different. The male lead Nicholas Cage, with all due respect, looks too old-fashioned to act like Keanu Reeves's natural handsomeness. Speaking of Keanu Reeves, he is really a respectable actor, and his life experience is too thin to describe the ups and downs. Those who are interested can learn about it in private. The classic film series "The Matrix" that was once popular all over the world, the slow motion in which he lowered the bullet in it became a classic, so handsome and bursting. The heroine of the film, Rachel Weisz, is a British actor. I always think she has a similar charm to Monica Bellucci, which may come from the five senses. She once starred in "The Mummy". Series of movies. The other female lead of the film, Tilda Swinton, has appeared in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series of movies, and the impressive Master in "Doctor Strange", although she is not like the "Big Devil" Kate. Blanchett is as famous for a long time, but in my opinion, their styles are actually very similar. They belong to the same actor, but Kate’s drama is still more comprehensive. The little exorcist assistant in the last film is played by American actor Shia Labeuf. Those who have seen the "Transformers" series are no strangers to him. They are the male protagonists of the first two films, but he is already in 2014. Announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry on January 11, 2015.
Back to the movie itself, this is a movie about exorcism, interspersed with several different plot lines, Keanu Reeves played John Constantine is not the righteous tradition we have seen in other movies The heroic image, on the contrary, he plays the exorcist who is suffering from cancer, expelling evil spirits but unable to enter heaven. He even hopes to obtain the qualifications to enter heaven by redeeming mankind. Although the end of the film does not give good people go to heaven. As a result, Constantine understood the true meaning of salvation in the final stage of the battle with the devil, at least he was physically healed. This movie also contains several elements that I like, fantasy, religion, several elements or mythological images that appear in it, such as Gabriel, Son of Satan, Lucifer, these elements are often found in European and American magical fantasy categories. The regulars in the film, different directors can make different styles. When talking about acting skills, don't take it seriously, mainly look at how men smoke the most handsome. Horror index, it is said that the game is more exciting.
