Bruce Willis has no bad movies, and neither does Samuel Jackson. And "The Immortal Tribulation", starring the two of them co-starring, is a classic that can stand the spread.
Although this "Undead Tribulation" is positioned as a suspense and horror, it is not a simple story of suspense and horror, but uses suspense and horror as the base to construct a superstructure that explores life and meaning as the main body.
In the architecture of life, each of us once cherished fear, lost in the jungle of where I am going and what life is meaningful.
The two heroes in the film are the two protagonists. They are at the two extremes of life, one is the "glass doll" that breaks when touched, and the other is the "super undead".
Ilya, starring Samuel, has "osteogenesis imperfecta", which is a terrible genetic disease. It is born with weak bones and is very easy to fracture. During the process from the uterus to the birth canal and then outside the mother Fractures due to compression of the birth canal. This disease is rare but real and is called the "glass man". Everyone sighed and sympathized with him. It is simply unimaginable and unacceptable to have such a child. His life was soaked with blood and tears.
On the contrary, there is another kind of person on the earth, that is, the other extreme described by Ilya, that is, a person who will never get sick or injured in his entire life. That person is David, and a person who experiences any death will not get hurt. "Superman".
David has never been ill, and has survived very serious accidents such as plane crashes, hotel fires, and train derailments without any damage.
However, a person of David Ruth is in a situation of emotional frustration, work embarrassment, depression and self-avoidance. On the contrary, the fragile Ilya was alive and well. Is this irony?
Or will God close one door and open another window, and fragility and strength will exist in people's cognition at the same time?
But for thousands of years, time has given us the experience: demons and angels exist forever, and belong to two extremes, in which there are inaction and bustling crowds of profit-seeking.
In the beginning, it seemed that David was a mysterious demon, and Ilya was an angel who saved the world. David avoided everywhere and avoided everything. David stepped forward, gradually discovering David, and finally making David recognize himself again.
When the last moment came, Ilya revealed his nature. Did he do it on purpose?
When the plot is reversed, we suddenly know everything: people who are completely abandoned by God are often broken, and people who are extremely favored by God are often surprised to doubt life.
Inferior actors make life into drama, and good actors can make acting into life. The feeling that the two protagonists give us is real, so it deepens the film's power to interpret the meaning of life.
