In fact,
I have always disliked this kind of film with bloody scenes, all shot at night, and this film has only two tones of red and black, so the first impression at the time was: this is a rubbish film that can no longer be rubbish. Isn't the pile of disgusting rotten meat before the vampire exploded in the movie very nauseating? But when I look back on it or see it again later, I think the film still has some merits, such as the power of the film, which makes the film feel no procrastination. The video that gave me the same feeling, thought
Introduce the plot: The corners of the city are full of vampires, who hide in the crowd and suck human blood for a living. Blade, who was born with vampire blood mixed in his blood, grew into a human with some vampire characteristics (at least he thought he was still human), he had more powerful powers and abilities than ordinary vampire, including immunity to vampire deadly silver, garlic Other damage, and the most obvious feature - not afraid of the sun, known as "day-walker". Blade's mission is to hunt vampires, and with the help of his companion Wesley, he is very effective. During one operation, Blade rescued a black woman who later became Blade's new assistant after Wesley was killed. Foster, a powerful upstart in the vampires, tried to rule the world in vain. He did not hesitate to break the ancestral motto that the vampires had been hiding in the crowd for thousands of years. He deciphered the ancient summoning ceremony. This ritual requires the blood of pure-bred vampires elders and Blade, so he killed the elders and caught Blade using their blood to successfully complete the ritual, making himself super-resilient. After the blood loss, the weakened Blade regained his strength by sucking human blood, and began to fight against Foster. Foster's super recovery ability makes him almost impossible to kill, no matter how much Blade slashes, he can recover. In the end Blade blasts him to powder with a high-dose potion of vampires' strong allergy.
The film subverts the mysterious, noble and lonely characteristics of vampires in previous films of the same type. The vampires here have become wretched little bastards, like mice, all over every dark corner of the city, living in groups like mice, and as pervasive as mice. Be prepared. In addition to blood-sucking, greed, evil, fear of silver, garlic, and ultraviolet rays, which are convenient for the hero to hunt and kill arbitrarily, the film can be regarded as a film that reflects the fight against the underworld, just like
The audience may not have much resonance with the film, because there is no social environment like the United States in China, so it is difficult to imagine the emotion of vampires everywhere in China, but it exists to a certain extent in the United States. On the one hand, the American society is highly free and the social security system is perfect. Under the premise of high unemployment, many people can be guaranteed that they will not work and starve to death. In this way, many people are almost out of touch with society. They cannot find jobs, do nothing, lack belief, and have no life Meaning, they have lived in their own small living space like mice for decades, relying entirely on material and sensory stimulation to survive, but they will not starve to death, because the United States has super cheap low-rent housing and a small amount of food that can eat for a lifetime. Unemployment benefits. On the other hand, some highly industrialized big cities in the United States, such as Detroit, etc., in the prosperous period of the city, people are like ants and become the busy parts of the whole city assembly line, but there is a lack of human communication between them, and they are separated from the traditional way of life. and life beliefs, the human feelings of the whole city tend to be indifferent, just like
As for the vampire elders and real-power upstarts in the vampire society in the film, it can be seen as a reflection of the "interest groups" in the real society. "Interest group" is horizontal, not vertical like "class". It does not appear to be antagonistic on the surface, so it is recognized by Western society. But in reality, interest groups often play a negative role in society. For example, the well-known U.S. arms group promotes war everywhere for its own interests, the U.S. oil group instigates the U.S. invasion of oil countries for its own benefit, and the U.S. financial group uses the The financial order launched the 1997 Asian financial turmoil... Representatives of interest groups, neatly dressed and sanctimonious, sat behind a large and comfortable round table, discussing how to maximize benefits and how to exploit the people. They are the so-called upper class. The people can only be exploited, because the people at the bottom have resources that are close to nothing and cannot establish a "group" that can compete with them and protect their own interests, so they are always weak, even if the very few among them have broken through. If Dao hinders him from becoming a powerful group, he will also be assimilated. In the film, the details of the police being bribed are a real expression of this phenomenon. Unfortunately, in today's Chinese society this "interest group" is also becoming legalized.
It is not that the film is meant to express these, but the creative ideas need to be inspired by reality. I believe that various social realities will be indirectly reflected in literary and artistic works.
