Unrealized sin is also sin, and Dante goes to hell for redemption

The overall feeling is not bad.

Not much to say about the picture, the standard is absolutely top-notch. Each frame is beautifully composed, with bold and wild lines, and the use of colors is relatively conservative but also to match the style of the film. This evaluation is good or bad can only be said to see personal preference, I give praise.

The plot is adapted from Dante's "The Divine Comedy", but the character of Dante is transformed into a crusader on the Eastern Expedition (isn't that a motley army of gangsters who are executed by gangsters to atone for their crimes), breaking into hell by saving his wife's soul, Through each layer (basically the seven deadly sins), to reflect on one's own faults, layer upon layer of reflection, and layer upon layer of redemption. Finally challenge the big boss Lucifer, without losing the style of Hollywood movies.
This adaptation is much better. It is more direct than the obscure and jerky "travel" of the original, which uses various experiences to allude to human nature. There are also various struggles and psychological analysis. These contents are undoubtedly more suitable for modern people's tastes.

The end of hell is the Pure Land, and the suffering Dante suffers comes from the evil causes he planted. These thoughts of reincarnation and causality travel through Eastern and Western cultures, bringing a new feeling to the whole film, like a breeze blowing across the face--!

The psychological portrayal is directly reflected in the appearance of the characters, which is absolutely first-class. Dante is fat and thin, his clothes are sometimes gorgeous and neat, sometimes dirty and tattered, and his weapons are also changing. Dante's face is always in various twisted states.

In short, all kinds of twists. The expression is in place, and the vision goes straight to the heart.

The only trouble is that if you really want to watch this film, you need to do some homework, read the original "Divine Comedy" (to be analyzed), and simply study the names in it, the guards in hell and the old Virgil. The origin and origin of friends, as well as some simple teachings in the Bible, will be of great help to understand the connotation of this film.

I hope it will be helpful to those who want to watch this film in the future, thank you~

Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic quotes

  • Lucifer: Even the purist souls can be corrupted. Dante is not the man you once knew.

    Beatrice: You did this to him. You corrupted his heart.

    Lucifer: I've had no need to influence humanity for many millennium my dear. I simply introduced sin. Man is the one who has spread it like a disease; cultivating it, empowering it.

    Beatrice: It is not our fault, none of it. Man is good.

    Lucifer: No, you don't understand. The earth is another form of hell, and men are its demons.

  • Dante: We were together neither in hell nor in paradise, neither damned nor saved, I did not die, and I did not live.
