"All things in life, all things are one. The alchemy that opens the door of truth is undoubtedly a nightmare."
The beginning is quite meaningful, which makes people a little interested. Or to say this sentence makes people know that this is the theatrical version of steelmaking, and that's it here.
At the beginning of the film, I was in a fog. What is this talking about? In short, the Clayton family was taken away by the military. When my sister Julia Clayton and her brother were discussing alchemy, they suddenly heard the misery of their mother. Called, my brother went to see and found piles of blood on the ground, and my parents were hung in the air. Judging from the results of the film, his parents were killed by Lieutenant Artolas. I want to say, how could it be so fast, Mingming brother ran over as soon as he heard the screams, he could kill two people in such a short time and hang them with iron chains, is the lieutenant a masked man at the speed of light? I know this is a plot need, so I won't say more.
What I want to say here is the relationship between the characters and the story itself, and the rationality of the story and the characters.
I don't want to say anything about the background of the story. First of all, let’s talk about Ashley Clayton. After Lieutenant Atolas had his face and the skin off his ribs, he survived by relying on the Sage’s Stone hidden by his parents. A lot of information can be drawn here. First, Ashley obtained the true biography of his parents—one-half of the sage's stone refining array (hereinafter referred to as refining array) engraved on the skin under his ribs. The other half is engraved under Julia's rib, and we will discuss when it was engraved. And know the exact location of the Philosopher's Stone hidden by his parents, otherwise he will die of blood loss. Second, the purpose of Lieutenant Atolas is very clear, that is, the stone of the sage and its formation. Probably he used some kind of coercion to force the Clayton couple to say that the formation was engraved on Ashley's body. , so he took off the skin under Ashley's ribs.
But why do you have to peel off the skin on your face again? Some people will say that this is to approach Julia with Ashley's face a few years later, and then find a chance to seize the other half engraved on Julia's body to form a formation. The contradiction lies in the fact that Julia fainted on the ground at that time, and it was impossible for Atolas to be so stupid as to let go of the formation formation that was so close at hand. In fact, he poisoned Ashley and ran away, ignoring Julia, which means that the formation of Julia's body came only after that. At this time, the question returned to the original point. Since the lieutenant did not know Julia's secret, he would not approach her as his brother, so why did the lieutenant take off Ashley's face? ! Is this setting just to cooperate with the subsequent plot, the problem circulates in contradictions. In order to figure out this question, I watched the movie twice and thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an explanation that I think is quite reasonable:
In fact, Lieutenant Atolas came to snatch the formation without telling the military. When the Claytons were killed, the military sent a large group of people to arrest him. In order to escape the military's wanted, he was in a hurry, so he stole Ashley's face and fled to Amestiris. This may not necessarily escape the pursuit of the ancient radar. Such a situation forced him to "invisibility" by means of deliberately committing a crime and being taken to Amestiris's prison. Back in time after Ashley was killed, Ashley ate the Sage's Stone and survived. The military came later and found that Lieutenant Atolas had fled. There were only two bodies at the scene, a boy who ate the Sage's Stone and a girl who fainted on the ground. For the military of Gu Radar, the blood star they have always dreamed of is on the boy, of course they can't let go, and the girl is useless at all, so they took Ashley and abandoned Julia. This also explains why Ashley grows up to be a high-ranking officer in the ancient radar army.
In fact, there are many other details that are unclear, and I don't want to talk about it. In short
, I gave this movie three stars just because I actually love the theatrical version of Steelmaking. This mask alone is enough to pull a lot of people into the water!
