The "best spare tire" awakened from the "matrix" will no longer harass the Los Angeles police detective of Aquarius, nor "Cospaly" Jesus Christ, and beat Leo "Mo Cuishle" and has not yet become paralyzed. Instead, he played a wonderful game with a last stand, even if it was a hero, it was just one day. As well as the soundtrack of the more exciting episode of this film, I have tried my best to find all of them.
The "Dark History" of "Night Demon" [John Wick/John Wick], the innocent Keanu Reeves plays the most "don't know what he wants" character-David Geriffin/David. Griffin. A gay killer who loves to use strings to strangle women. I still prefer another more straightforward translation of it-"Peeping Killer". "Don't go home alone."
This long, "spoiler-like" title with a distinctive "style" has already written a "almost" in this old film with a very gentle narrative, but I personally prefer this film with a comprehensive and in-depth description. An overall environment that belongs to the oppressive, gloomy and occluded town of Christ in the South of the United States, the horror effect and the slightly "autumn seductive" story background in the film produce a natural and unintentional organic fusion. The heroine [Annie Wilson/Annie Wilson]’s personal emotions and character expressions also have the inner warmth of "undercurrents", which is slow to extend, in this American "conservatism" that believes in "Christ". A very dense southern county.
The heroine of the film "Anne Wilson" has a pair of blue "different eyes" that can "unpredict the prophet", but this kind of prediction will not be particularly "obvious", but can basically refer to her opinions. It is a typical "astrologer" or "fortune teller" that is not a profession that everyone can believe. But the heroine in this film is not a slanderous character, she has real talents and is not a fool. Such "foreseeing" ability inherited from family history not only attracts customers for survival, but also invites personal threats from some scorners and the initial distrust of government workers. The heroine in this movie is to watch the cards, listen to the customers, and then "understand" from the mouths of those who talk, and then slowly "premonize" that it belongs to those who ask for help and is close to the blessings and disasters of human affairs. Good or bad. Observe people's hearts and predict the future through their own unique intuition and sense of insight. She is keen, brave, and very skilled. So in the small southern town in the small place in the movie, I quickly conquered the hearts of the people and gained reliance. There are several footages of the front and side faces of [Annie Wilson/Annie Wilson] played by " Cate Blanchett ". The shots are extremely pure and even somewhat simple and holy. Really, there is a touch of "Virgin Mary". And the character setting of her alone and hard-working with three children strengthened the female character, the aura of maternal tenderness and humanity.
But the place where this film takes place, um, is not so "sentimental"-the beginning of the film has a weird atmosphere, slowly swimming on the dead river bank with methane and mist rising, withered branches and fallen leaves, green vines and willow vines everywhere. It looks a bit dilapidated and decayed brick bridge electric pole. The heroine picked up the stone on the way home from school and was quite boring and thrown it away, "disgusted"; looking for the heroine’s neighborhood is also a bit sick, and it may be "difficult". "Covering the disease", but also hoped to find a trace of "viability" from the heroine's disclosure. This involves the "limitation" of the profession of "divine master". At the beginning of the film, this part of the content has been passed, indicating that although the heroine "has sentient beings" in her heart, she can only "prevent" but cannot Completely "cure" the inner suffering, spiritual trauma, and helplessness of life. What should come, everything will still come. "Annie" only provides a "possibility", the choice is still in the characters themselves who seek "divination".
And the breath of life in this film, and other supporting characters in this corner of the land, are also arranged in many and not chaotic ways-the "Stockholm syndrome" female partner who is trapped in domestic violence but is obsessed with her husband. She can only fist and kick her husband, rude and savage; ( Hilary Swank / Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves ) is a "social flower" in a small town where a man can devote his life ( Katie Huo) (Katie Holmes ) The campus principal who has a somewhat "faithful" personality, the prosecutor who has an affair with the "Zhenhua", the upright sheriff, who appears in the foresight ability and can directly talk to the "spiritual body" is " grandmother"? Or is it "grandma"? Well, it's exciting enough. It is true that there is no chaos, the thrilling plot of the main line, and the friendship line of the heroine and "Batti Cole" are built to complement each other, and it is easy. In the movie, the weeping willows that have a somewhat "barren" taste, the country dance where ambiguous and murderous coexist at midnight, the red heavy pickup opened by the "domestic man" and the "voodoo doll" he threatened the heroine, can be seen everywhere. The "fence", the dizzying lights of the country club, the somewhat rigorous court scenes, and the filthy puddles of "homicides" appearing in such films all give this film a kind of plausibility. No "gothic" texture. But it's not so obvious.
I admit that the reason why I recorded this "Scary Eye"/(The Gift) after many years is largely due to " Keanu Reeves " and " Hilary Swank " /Hilary Swank " is also eye-catching. At least many years before I first met, I was really a little bit stunned by the film's extremely exciting lineup. Because there is no need to mention the two well-known American actors, even the sheriff who appeared in this film is the "Devil Teacher"-"Fletcher" " J· K·Simmons/JK Simmons ", to watch this movie from the current perspective, it feels somewhat too "slow", but if you only watch this movie from the cast, even the screenwriter and director will have a lot of background. . It can be described as a "group play" movie with a gathering of stars. It’s just that the best performance in this movie is " Cate Blanchett ". In this film, she seems to be the same "tepid" performance in this movie, but it is explosive and implied. , Not only has the fear in the face of danger, but also reflects the courage of not fearing the risk when trying to shed the cocoon on the truth of the crime. The thoughts of the deceased husband, the remembrance of grandma, the protection of children, and the sympathy and empathy for those borderline and heterogeneous with psychological barriers are all just right by " Cate Blanchet ", naturally. Especially in court scenes, when asked about the sadness, not only the (forbid) tears, but also the haggard and sad scenes, I personally like it better. In perseverance, the fragile female emotion is undoubtedly manifested.
And at first I wanted to see what the best performances in this film are " Keanu Reeves " and " Hilary Swank ", which surprised me somewhat, because Before this movie, I have watched " Hilary Swank " two Oscars for best actress-"Boys Don’t Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby", so I personally This female actor has always looked at it with the impression of being "resolute", "brave" and "strong". As a result, in this movie... I never expected it to be a typical "husband abuses me thousands of times." , I treat my husband as a "masochistic" like first love. Being beaten by " Donnie Barksdale", a Christian "American White Right" racist husband played by " Keanu Reeves ", is so horrible that it is almost " Women's boxing match in "Million Dollar Baby". To be honest, when I first watched this film, it was because of this period that I could not digest the past, because the memory of "Mo Cuishle" was too deep, and it was unacceptable for a while. The self-improving woman was " Keanu ". ". Reeves/Keanu Reeves " plays the "male chauvinist", crying and crying for help. Only when I was beaten up and dizzy, my eyes were full of stars, I would ask for help from the heroine's "astrology". Too... useless. And Chenlong Virgo's "peerless good man"-" Keanu Reeves " also changed from the past "gentleman" style in this film, with big arms and round waist, hot temperament; beating his wife, intimidating women, children, and hooking. Three match four, no trimming, erosive style, and extremely strong "racial prejudice", it can be described as "all-in-one." Of course, there is also the heroine "Annie" who has been hitting blood all the time: "Insecure grumpy ghost". All in all, this "unlucky" character, like his "masochistic" wife, is an excellent embodiment of the "weak" in this film.
I can tell you the truth, I once said to an old friend of mine: "Why do I... don't hate this role? Is'Keanu Reeves ' not aggressive enough? Is there a reason for this? "Ling’s reply that year was: "It’s a little bit... the performance of this character in court, in addition to being confused, it’s anger, the character’s performance breadth... not enough... and'Keanu Reeves /Keanu Reeves'It's so kind, no matter how you pretend to be fierce and evil, you can't make people feel a little scared. Except for the threatening scene of the heroine that he appeared, it really makes people unable to panic...and you So don’t you hate this character...Are you a fan of his movie! If you go deeper...maybe you have found a certain self-projection in this character who believes in'violence first' 'Compassion'...I hope this is my over-interpretation..."
Hmm... Regarding this part, I really think that this old friend has somewhat over-interpreted it. But in this movie, " Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves ", compared to the heroine, is really personal and unpleasant, and his acting skills have not been shown. He is not "no acting", but simply not suitable for villains. But compared to the "Justice Watcher" I wrote a few days ago, at least in this movie, his personality is still in the category of "human". And personally, I still feel that the domestic violence character "Downey" in this film is also remarkable. And his somewhat similar—Jesus Christ, the decadent image of the true God himself. Yes, this character, obviously, is somewhat "ridiculing", that "savior" is "hypocritical". This movie is more about the ordinary love of the god of motherhood.
Is such that.
As for " Katie Holmes/Katie Holmes "...that is, the ex-wife of "Tang Brother", she is in good shape, and besides, she really has average acting skills. And it's not a likable character, which is really bad, but it's just a "slut" character. As for the truth of the film, when the heroine "Annie" visited the fascinating "Principal" Wayne, she didn't have to guess at all. Yes, the real murderer was at hand. Isn't this a bit spoiler? But this is also one of the major "benefits" of commenting on old films. Most people may have already watched it, and even if they haven't watched it, it doesn't affect the perception. Because this is an old movie. In a flash of 21 years ago.
Well, this article will stop here. Personally, I actually recommend this movie more than "Justice Watcher". But it’s still an “average” Samsung, because indeed, it’s a bit warm, but this movie still has some warm and deep connotations of still water. Here, I will not "spoiler" more, more or less, but a little bit Surprise, little reversal. But overall, it is indeed too stable. After this film, the director of the film, " Sam Raimi ", created a golden age in which "manga movie" turned from prosperity to decline. That is, the "Spider-Man" series. And this director himself is also a "cult film" director who is extremely "evil". Personally recommend his "Ghost Play" series.
