"The Book of Avery" has a rather religious and bright ending, or the film is more like a religious gospel movie. Danzo Washington played knives, guns, swords, sticks, and hot and cold weapons in the film. He “played” the best martial arts since his personal experience in filming, and the role played by literary and opera is also a classic villain-Gary · Oldman, this actor at the stage of drama has a personal charm in both appearance and performance in the film, and it also reveals a bit of humanity and a bit of evil in the film. In terms of image processing, it is completely "apocalyptic sci-fi". The color tone is extremely cold, and the picture is sometimes reddish and sometimes black, but all have a "secret" tone. In the scenes showing the broken walls of the last-day city, the mottled details are very delicate, and the layers of light and shadow are also very sufficient, which fully implements the creative intentions of the director Hughes brothers.

Compared with other apocalyptic movies, this "Book of Avery" obviously contains more religious flavors, a biblical apocalypse, a lonely hero like a savior, and the original sin of mankind that still oppresses each other even in the crisis of the doomsday. , The meaning of metaphor is obvious. ()
In "The Book of Avery," Washington is a god-if not a son of God, at least a person before God. The character he plays is not only a taciturn John Wayne hero, but also like the impeccable fighters in Japanese samurai films (such as Akira Kurosawa's "Intentional Stick" and the Japanese Blind Swordsman Zatoichi series). All of these have borrowed, and at the same time, in turn gave back to the Hollywood concept of loneliness and supernatural heroism. This new film takes advantage of the accumulated power in Washington, turns it into a weapon, and gives him the opportunity to kill in the name of justice. ()
