The casting is good, the actors are good-looking, the plot is acceptable (considering that it's a 2005 film, and action movies often don't demand much of the plot), and the lighting and grading are comfortable. The lens changes are a bit odd and the intent is too stark. For example, when Constantine first appeared in the car and got off the car, the camera changed up and down, the close-up of the cigarette butt suggested that he was a smoker, and the shot of the handsome guy walking from the residential buildings gave people a feeling of being cramped; and when he was exorcising, he first put down a cigarette, Later, another shot shows that the smoke has not been burnt out. The acting skills of the supporting roles can only be said to be unsatisfactory. The dialogue between the first fat man and Constantine was a drama. The script that the younger brother Charles sent was too flat, but he didn't act very well either. Compared with the old man's script, the script was also poor, and his acting skills looked more comfortable. Archangel Gabriel said such a bad line doesn't seem to play, after all, it's Tilda Sweeton! (Please step on me. Speaking of which, in order to show Gabriel's neutrality, the chest is so tight.) The other supporting characters don't have anything I want to talk about. Keanu's character is handsome, bubbly, has abdominal muscles, and has high strength. There are a lot of elements. In the first half of the game, I always felt that a good hand was so greasy (the lines and the storyboard have to bear the cauldron), but it looks completely In retrospect, the film is better than the two supporting characters. Rachel's expression was very playful. It was hard to climb out of the bathtub, but she was a bit embarrassed when she went back into the old scientific research man's room to get a coin (what the hell is that?). (Again, this line sucks!) The place where I was astonished was after the pool escape, Angel thought John was going to kiss her, opened her mouth and John just went to pick up the spearhead (reasonably suspected of posting on purpose), here Lei Chell's snickering is perfect! Although she is the fragile beauty of the hero saves the beauty in the whole film, and every scene is exquisite and beautiful, but only at this moment, in the black, white and gray color of the screen, there is only one word in my mind - "bright and beautiful". (The tension between Rachel and Keanu is about to explode in the same frame!) The plot is to detract from the whole film, but since it is an action film, I have seen the golden finger tiger, the big black wings and the holy water shower head, cool , stop criticizing the plot. The only scene that excites me is when John gives the little boss who receives the lunch box a physical escape, one finger and the other the Bible. When Keanu's voice was raised when he read the scriptures, he was very powerful and full of oppression. But it collapsed in the next second. Not only did John drop a sentence, he meant to bluff you just now, you are an idiot, and the Son of Satan ran over and did not resurrect the younger brother, but absorbed the younger brother... This is a children's channel, right? The villain is still playing the lone wolf thing. Arranging for Constantine to point his middle finger at Lucifer when he ascended to heaven is understandable, but a little boring. I still feel that the director is afraid that the audience will not understand, and arranges too many useless scenes, just like the "implication" does not wear inside.
The connotation of the film is relatively simple, but my focus is not on the protagonist's statement that people have their own destiny (for gods and demons, we are not worth mentioning), but on the criteria for judging good and evil. John Constantine sneered at the so-called "balance", and placed more importance on love than so-called faith, because he knew the truth about success and failure, and the supremacy of power-that is, the tragic core of many famous works such as "Water Margin". Others are virtuous and benevolent, and believe in God in order to ascend to heaven. Although he believes that God exists, he does not "believe" in God, never repents, and even refuses the mysterious bar owner to pray for him. John is a powerful exorcist and an excellent psychic. He knew in the two minutes of his "first death" that he was the object of God and Lucifer, so he was not afraid. He was tired of the world and knew that God would never accept suicide, so he "suffered" from lung disease by smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He is a man who walks between good and evil. He always flouted the rules and went his own way. He didn't meet God's definition of goodness, and he never played the good guy in the eyes of most people. But he came forward when the devil invaded the world. He was the savior of the Chinese girl, the hero who saved Angel and her twin sister. Although Lucifer in the film steps on blood, he is pure white, because he is an angel and still believes in his father, God. He was very angry with Constantine, but he was unwilling to betray him, and reluctantly let him return to the world (removing half of his diseased lung with bare hands, it was outrageous), he was simply an upright man Gentleman. Here is a religious story: Satan (Samael) and Lucifer were cast to hell just because they didn’t want to bow down to human beings. Who says God isn’t mean? The mighty Gabriel helps the son of demons "clean up the world" and kills innocents indiscriminately. It can be seen that good and evil do not depend on how you think, but on how to act. God thought that Gabriel had betrayed him, immediately deprived him of his angelic status, and reduced him to a human being. Where is the so-called father-son love and the so-called opportunity for repentance?
The most interesting thing about the so-called myths is that gods are all human beings, and demons are also human beings.
