Postmodern color installation

Miwo, who has grown from a young girl in "The Fifth Element" to a charming mature woman in "Deadly Violet", has tangled short orange hair now turned into a thousand strands of blue silk, which is laid out smoothly on the end of her mellow body. Bring weapons, charming and deadly.
Don't tell me that the plot of this film is old-fashioned and the special effects are rough. Its highlight is not the plot or special effects. The director is just playing a post-modern installation game. That’s right, the film lacks the fifth element of the inter-age urban structure that almost fits everyone’s fantasy, and there is no Lilu who is placed in a strange human world like a baby (think of the way she touched this strange planet carefully. I feel distressed), but in the use of a large number of dazzling steel, glass and other cold building materials, the director wants to give Violet a heart of compassion-in a world where humans and human variants are madly duel, an innocent child and countless innocent humans behind it Her fate will affect the nerves of this professional female killer who died 36 hours later-just because she was a failed mother and lost her lover and child.
Violet's hair and clothing will change color according to the environment and her heart. In my opinion, it is not only the color playing cool, but also highlights her contradictory and changeable identity and psychology-mutant-killer-failed mother-checkmate. Except for a pair of desperate or cold eyes, she can hardly find the shadow of Lilu back then. Miwo has grown up, and has not left traces of desire or tiredness on her face in 10 years. When Girth rescued her, she was helpless Asked Girth-"Did you save me to make me die again?"
Are we broken in love, just for the next love?
85% of the scenes are fights, with almost no respite, a bit like "Shadow Bourse 3", take off his shirt, change into battle clothes, load weapons, again and again. The action and types of weapon replacement in the film are also dazzling. The large number of post-modern buildings and computer-made buildings in Shanghai and Hong Kong, as well as the big-name sunglasses that Violet frequently changes, are all highlights. It may only be for me who don’t understand weapons. But a woman who loves architecture. It's a pity that I still don't like the little actor very much, maybe because his image of the little evil spirit in "Butterfly Effect" is too deep in my heart. As for Girth's actor, William Fichtner, his sloppy appearance is completely absent from Mahone in "Prison Break", just an appearance.
If, if allowed to squeeze the mud with my clumsy hands, I will enter the urban canyon of "The Fifth Element" and transform into Violet's charming camouflage. I will shed blue tears like Jill in "The Trap of the Goddess of Chaos" And there is a dying sun god guarding me, I want, I want Lucia Di Lammermoor's swan song to accompany me-how high life is, how strong sin is; how sweet love is, how deep pain is—— I have so many, it will be ugly to die, let me choose a way of death-I choose to be a phoenix--the
despair of death, the despair of not dying.
