On January 4, 2016, The Last Witch Hunter will be released. To correctly open this dark and gorgeous magical movie, we must start from the song "I really want to live another five hundred years" by Vin Diesel and the most fashionable uncle Han Lei.
"Borrow another five hundred years from the sky" is sung by Emperor Yongzheng. Immortality is a good wish. If he knew that slaughtering demons could live for another five hundred years, he would definitely drag all the mythical beasts in Shanhaijing out of the mountains and slaughter them for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji. The song came to life in The Last Witch Hunter. However, initially getting immortality, Kaulder did not accept it. This sense of helpless self-mockery runs through the first half of the film, forming a taste unique to old men.
Kaulder, played by Vin Diesel, was born a hundred times more ancient than Emperor Yongzheng. Not only did he lose his wife and children, but he was also cursed by a witch. You must drive a sports car on earth forever with pain, immersed in pain, I will never die, if you are not convinced, come and beat me. After speaking, the witch will feign death. The witch made an extremely wise choice to store her life in the heart of the righteous side, and set the enemy to be immortal, so she no longer has to worry about being killed. And such an important thing, the protagonist must be kept in the dark. This time, the battle situation changed from a fight to a protracted war - no one wanted poor Kaulder to die, and he really couldn't. If he couldn't die, the witch would naturally continue to live. Demon insects, kill all humans.
The biggest highlight of this film is in the time span of 500 years or more. It started with the witch's trick, changed the routine of beating the witch, and achieved the visual spectacle of the coexistence of the modern human city and the medieval demon structure.
The undead life of Zhengfang Kaulder is wonderful. In order to control the racial conflict between the human race and the witch race, Vin Diesel accompanied the axe to help this diplomatic organization for more than five hundred years. The various natural sciences and applied science and technology of human beings are very clear. From the gold, wood, water, fire and soil of the alchemy era to the modern meteorology, it is like watching the history of scientific evolution, which is more science fiction than magic. The anti-party witches are all modern wizards. They don't wear black robes or magic wands. Their identities are also integrated into the human world. The tricks of harm are full of imagination. Catch the smuggled alien: Spells can be used not only to clean up an outlaw wizard's worm pasta restaurant, but also to save a plane crashed in bad weather.
At the same time, walking in the dream of death is also a highlight of the film. If you die in the dream, you will get the same end in reality, which makes the film more dangerous. The intervention of dream walker adds another layer of visual space to the film. In the dream, Kaulder faced his pain and found the truth. Under the influence of these two events, Kaulder is determined to perish with evil, complete his mission and end his lonely destiny. The theme song "paint it black" uses a brooding mezzo-soprano to set up a distant and mysterious atmosphere, and the calm modern melody brings the sense of the times closer, and sings the loneliness and pain in the heart of Kaulder, who has read all the prosperous and nowhere to go. It also expresses the hope of an immortal for the world.
The emotional color of the film rises. Running in a motorcycle leather jacket Calling Kaulder's dream walk in a dream from a gothic bar, but saving the enemy for the peace of the two races, and finally falling in love with him, a little bit of love and peace in the rock era .
