Religion, mythology, philosophy, prophecy, heroes. With the passing of time, the epics passed by word of mouth at that time often only have only scales and claws, but this is also their greatest charm, unknown and so great.
Due to well-known reasons, local myths and religious culture have gradually evolved into man-made landscapes visited here or idiom stories that even children are no longer interested in, or delusions that are full of lustful colors in Internet articles. But the demand is fixed. Under the reinforced concrete, firewood, rice, oil and salt, we always need a place to release our tired thoughts. This shop does not sell it in other shops. I am tired of the great sage Jiang Ziya, as well as angels and demons, kinsmen and werewolves.
About Constantine:
As a member of the DC comics universe, Constantine in the original book is not like most superheroes. He is self-disciplined and rigorous. He has a strong sense of responsibility and mission. He always wears all kinds of strange uniforms. . He is more like an ordinary street ruffian, wandering in the corners and shadows of the city, extremely repelling the power of blood, just like ordinary people repelling him. To put it simply, Constantine is not a hero with "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", but a swinger with "the soul of a gambler and the heart of a banker". He doesn't love the world or himself. God doesn't want to see him, and Satan sits next to him with a stool, counting down how long he can take him away.
"Hi, John, is there a theme park waiting for you in hell?"
About the role:
Choosing Keanu Reeves as the male protagonist was the best decision this film made. If you score 60 points for the film, 40 points are on him. Slightly pale skin and slightly messy hair, wrinkled tie hanging lazily around his neck, old-school black leather shoes and loose suit is a thin but tall figure, of course, he is more important The melancholy lingering face and the easy handling of the character.
It seems that the frowning eyebrows are entwined with a faint, boredom of everything, loose clothes and lazy behavior, as if they will be blown to the ground by a gust of wind at any time, but once you make up your mind, it will immediately turn into a clean action. Kill the decisive exorcist. Extremely still, extremely moving. "I am Constantine, and Constantine is me."
Except for the protagonist, the other characters are basically maintained on the qualified line. There must be a fat teammate next to the thin man, and there must be an experienced and veteran next to the white protagonist. A black predecessor with scars or tattoos, and a little gag and heroine whose presence is limited to lines.
Regarding the role of Satan or Lucifer, I think the most appropriate one should be Renault. Recall the opening fragment of "This Killer Is Not So Cold": Appearing from the darkness, pacing silently behind you, quietly placing the sharp blade on your neck, without the slightest expression on your face, with infinite vicissitudes of voice and He whispered to you in an extremely plain tone: "We should go now, John". Then he looked at you with his bottomless but not rippling eyes, just looking at you like that. This is Satan, not a clown who takes drugs or alcohol excessively, and can fall to the ground, convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and startled. Of course, if he is crazy enough, it's just a pity that he only performed a crazy shell and didn't touch the crazy soul.
Regarding part of the background:
In the Christian doctrine, Satan does not specifically refer to the fallen angel Lucifer, but a general term for sinful people. Usually refers to all the demon kings in hell. In fact, before Lucifer rebelled from heaven, there were seven demon kings known as Satan in hell: arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony (gluttony) and lust. These are the so-called seven deadly sins, the seven most primitive sins. Lucifer was once God’s most favored archangel. For some reason (I don’t know), he clashed with God. After being suppressed by Michael and Gabriel, he took a third of the angels and fell into hell. Became the most famous "Satan". Satan was to Lucifer, similar to the emperor to Emperor Wu of the Han.
The Spear of Destiny or Longinus Spear does exist, of course in mythology. Although it is not certain whether it was a direct weapon to kill Jesus or that Jesus pierced his body after his death, this thing did have "God's blood" stuck to it.
Mammon should have been an angel in charge of wealth (mammon means money) at first, and indeed he fell into hell with Lucifer, but he should be the most "peace" among the demons, because he thinks it is better to fight against God. Collect more money........ "Paradise Lost"
