Guardian of Eternal Life | Reflections on Life

Theron came out domineering and quickly took over the task.

The opening of the movie, without hesitation for a minute, goes straight to the point.

However, Theron was killed as soon as he came out. what? It's over before it can start?

The surprise is not over yet, Theron is domineering "live" again.

What you thought was an action movie turned out to be a sci-fi movie. When you thought it was a sci-fi movie, it turned out to be a fantasy movie.

Therefore, don't be too surprised about the "super sensing" in the film, because Goddess Theron herself didn't figure it out. If you have to explain it, it can only be said to be the screenwriter's setting.

The villain in the story is quite thorough, and doesn't care about his status as one of the "Fortune 500" at all. This idea of ​​pursuing "eternal life" can almost catch up with Qin Shihuang.

It is a pity that the fighting ability is zero, and there is no self-knowledge. With so much wealth, things like holding an axe should not be done by hand.

There is a high-profile villain, but also a low-key villain.

As a former agent, I know the importance of keeping a low profile.

Because of the problem of ideas, he came to the opposite of Theron, and also because of the problem of ideas, he came to Theron's side again.

This setting is a bit cliché.

Of course, it's not the agent's fault, because the story itself is pretty cliché.

I want to talk about everything (after all, there is such a long history of mankind, there is a lot that can be said), but nothing is explained clearly. In the end, Theron is left with a bunch of people to fight and kill, and then go to the foreseeable ending.

Of course, there is also a "villain" in the story.

The teammates of the year, also due to the problem of philosophy, came to the opposite of Theron.

However, this buddy does have too many doubts in his heart, and what immortality brings to him is only endless pain.

His pain stemmed from the separation from his relatives, which would not be a problem if it was placed on the ancient emperors. He had been "widowed" for a long time, and his family was not worth mentioning at all.

However, the pain of this buddy has another aspect of thinking, which is a bit "creepy".

Your relatives, your friends, will be jealous of your "not old", they will think that you have the secret of "not old", you would rather watch them die than share your "not old" secret, they will die I don't want to forgive you either.

Human nature, perhaps.

At the end of the story, Theron can tolerate the enemy's "defection", but not the "betrayal" of his comrades. Theron's super power gradually disappeared, and the eternal pain in her heart, for some unknown reason, saw the light of day again.

It seems that another battle of ideas is about to begin.

But, perhaps, there won't be a sequel.
