It was the devil

Season of the Witch is a fantasy film, and it's all about Nicolas Cage.

After years of fighting and dying, the Crusader warriors Berman and Filson of the Eastern Crusade did not want to kill innocent people again, abandoned their beliefs, left the team, and began to return to their hometowns.

After returning to their hometown, they were greeted with devastation, people died of plague, and there was still no sign of rest. It is said that the devil cast a curse from hell through the hand of a witch.

They lead the witch to take the witch to a distant monastery for trial and get back a collection of books in order to lift the curse and save the soul.

The witch is a seemingly weak girl Anna. He has a pair of innocent eyes, which makes it hard for the person who escorts her to believe that such a simple girl can be a messenger from hell.

At first, I also believed that she was innocent, but then I didn't believe her more and more. When she gave Nicolas Cage an innocent look and turned to the priest with another wicked look, she didn't trust her at all.

But on second thought, even an innocent person will become vicious in the face of someone who misunderstands her and harms her, and it is absolutely impossible to be tolerant and naive. Such fools only exist in Taiwanese dramas.

For a moment, I saw him look at the girl's heart, thinking that there would be a spark of love between them, but he gradually stopped trusting her and was wary of him.

Later on the drawbridge, when the boy was about to fall, the girl reached out to save him, I thought he would be bewitched by the girl and fell in love with her, but he still didn't.

As a result, the girl is really the incarnation of the devil, or is possessed by the devil. After encountering many obstacles, she finally arrived at the monastery, killed the demon, and lifted the curse, and the girl regained herself and was no longer evil.

I thought it would be a cliché at this time
who she fell in love with, but it didn't. Maybe it's too subtle, but all things are revived, the earth has regained its color, and they are riding horses in the beautiful scenery.

They never fell in love, and there was no intimate scene, which made me feel so disappointed. A movie without love is like a person without a soul. If the protagonist in a movie does not act in an emotional scene, it is simply a waste of resources.

One thing that confuses me about the movie is that the witch is escorted in an iron cage. Can a witch or some other demon be imprisoned in an iron cage? At least it would be more convincing to cast some spells on the cage or something.

The girl escaped halfway. I think if a person escapes from the bondage, it is best to find a hidden place to hide and let the pursuers chase away and then come out to a safe place. Because the pursuers do not believe that the escapees will hide in place.

However, most people will not hide in place after escaping. They just want to escape as far as possible as soon as possible. The fear of being imprisoned makes them feel that it is safe enough.

The failure of this movie made me feel once again that to make a good movie, the script is too important. Without a good script, without a good story and good characters, no matter how good the director and actors are, there is no way.

What attracts me to the film is something other than the plot and the characters, the sights that are hard to see. There are some shots of the seaside and the wilderness that make people feel old. There is decay everywhere, but there is a desolate and silent beauty.

There is another shot that is about characters. I forgot when Nicholas Cage was in the shadows, with light shining on his profile face and hair. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the handsome and handsome young man, without the puffiness and depression of middle age.

In recent years, Nicolas Cage's acting career has fallen into a low ebb, financial crisis has occurred, and he has been detained for domestic violence, and negative news has continued. If there is a crisis in his acting career, Season of the Witch can't save him.
