I have no prejudice against Guillermo, because "Pan's Labyrinth" can top 20 in my personal ranking. However, "Hellboy" has too much Superman traces. The consistent inspirational means, the consistent hero-cherishing beauty gimmick, makes the murderous hell look like a display, and it is easy to get rid of it by HELLBOY.
First of all, since HELLBOY comes from hell, it means that evil ambushes the evil species in the world. Since human beings have nature, it is inevitable that HELLBOY's nature is evil. It is said that the hero does not ask where he comes from. This seems to be a reward from heaven to hell: Come and surrender to me! As long as you help me maintain peace in the world. What is reward? Money, beauties... big! Therefore, in order to thank the godfather of heaven for his nurturing grace, HELLBOY did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for righteousness, knowing that he will cut his roots while eradicating evil, rather than self-destruct. As the FBI chief said, "After you defeat all the monsters, you yourself are the biggest monster." At that time, I am afraid that HELLBOY will no longer be a boy, but will be a rat in the street. Don’t forget that the United States is not only a material paradise, but also abounds in "HERO". In addition to "Superman" and "Spiderman"... now there is another "Hellboy". The difference is that the other labels "HERO" are all local Specialty products, this time the standard has been liberalized and imported products have been introduced.
It is not difficult to see that this "HELLBOY" alluded to the international situation of World War II. Hitler was facing defeat. The Anglo-American alliance wanted to drive out the evil forces at the last moment. A strong alliance, united efforts, finally turned things around and destroyed Hitler's absurd dream of unifying the world. In fact, this history is enough to make us thank Dade for half a century, because we were able to get rid of the intrusion of the little Japan because of the victory of World War II. But from another perspective, why the superpower that maintains world peace today does not play the role of the original Nazi bloc? Cultural invasion, trade monopoly, resource plundering, currency wars... abandoning the use of force, we are only blinded by blindfolds and enjoy being corrupted by sugar-coated shells.
People's hearts can of course be bought, so the film has repeatedly emphasized that it is not necessary to pursue a person's nature, but to look at his choices at the time. At the critical moment, the son of hell was enlightened by Christ Jesus, instantly annihilating the beastiness that was about to explode, and instantly became a Buddha. Lao Mei has a simple but naive theory. This theory has neither the profound wisdom of the Oriental nor the romantic fantasy of the French, but it has the indestructible magic power to confuse the minds of all people. This kind of mentally retarded trick is not because of how clever it is. , But he grasped the weakness of human nature: enjoyment + hypocritical freedom! Even if this mirage is only a short 100 years old!
