It is a typical Hollywood sci-fi commercial blockbuster, and the special effects of nearly 20 years ago can still be a few streets away from the current domestic sci-fi films. But sci-fi movies are still hot in recent years, and we like to immerse ourselves in a kind new world.
With the increase in market demand, hero sci-fi movies are becoming more and more stereotyped. In recent years, the movies have changed the soup instead of the medicine, and changing a model is a new way to make money. This is also the reason for the rapid cooling of the world heroes after the big heat, the same repetition makes the reputation of science fiction films drop rapidly.
Compared with the mass-produced heroes in recent years, Constantine is slightly better in terms of the integrity of the storyline and the shooting techniques. In the early days of sci-fi blockbusters, they still pursued integrity very seriously. Today's sci-fi movies have empty plots, monotonous characters, and too obvious traces of routines. The blind pursuit of special effects ignores the essence of the film - the story.
The biggest selling point of superheroes now is that they are high and low on the same stage, and apart from these, there is nothing to watch. The earliest Batman, Superman, and Harry Potter can be called classics because they visualize the dream world that everyone yearns for. And the most important thing in this world is the colorful plot. Imagination dominates the brain, creating unique and captivating plots.
It is absurd and wonderful to use reality to present fantasy, but the essence of the film is not the picture, but the plot that empathizes with the ups and downs. It's not that Constantine's plot is perfect, but it presents a new and complete worldview in its entirety, even if it's an adaptation of a biblical story.
This drastic twist in sci-fi movies isn't to say that audiences don't like sci-fi movies, we've been fantasizing for as long as we can remember, using fantasies to hide from reality. We need really good stories to relax those tense nerves, and imagination is always the best way.
So back to the essence of the movie, a good movie always touches the heart with the most simple plot, hoping that the beautiful fantasy can get rid of the shadow of money and become a spiritual sustenance again.
