      "Pitch Black" from a religious point of view

      From the religious point of view

      , there is no evidence to prove that God exists in
      "Pitch Black" ; there is no evidence to prove that God does not exist; so "Pitch Black" discusses two questions:
      Does God exist?
      Is God cruel and ruthless?

      The male protagonist believes that God exists, and he says "I hate God". I think his reasoning is: God is too cruel to leave people in dark sin and fear, and let evil and beasts be king.
      Even when the heroine had a...

      Interstellar legend after watching! ~Write by hand...

      After watching it, I couldn't help but share it with my friends. This should be the most shocking work of all the movies I've seen this year, at least it shocked me.
             The foreshadowing of the first half of the film is completely foreshadowing the subsequent plot, plain and straightforward narrative. But many people said that the beginning part was too boring and maybe it was impatient to leave early, which is understandable.
             I also learned a lot of astronomical knowledge...

      Who killed the heroine? Replay again to confirm.

      Play it back again to confirm that the heroine was killed by the opposite sex.
      At that time, the camera cuts were quicker, and the outline was like this, the heroine hugged Redick, and then their hands were changing positions, and the camera was also changing. Probably due to Redick's injury, in the last scene, the heroine's back, Redick's hand on her shoulder, suddenly made a sharp attack of piercing, the heroine tilted her head back, and Redick was shocked at the same time. A second...

      On how martial arts stars become acting schools

      The two biggest highlights of this film for me are Vin Diesel's acting skills and the setting of the scene.

        At first glance, you will feel that the scene setting of this film is very simple and rough, and there are many loopholes. But the desolation and the oppressive feeling of a primitive world in this kind of arbitrarily discarded ruins are created very well, and they can endure the strangely shaped monster population.

        The male protagonist is a murderer and tries hard...

      Vin Diesel I Got A Crush On U!

      I am not a person who likes fried rice.
      But VD is really my male god!
      So handsome!
      The big muscles still hide a trace of sincerity and warmth in the coldness!
      This is the real man!
      Much more handsome than any Japanese and Korean skinny chicken!
      Back to the film itself.
      Personally, I think this film is already an excellent work of science fiction suspense.
      The killing intent in the dark made me break out in a cold sweat... The
      monsters are so ugly...

      It's still quite vulgar, this kind of movie always has to have a male protagonist, and there is a second male who is the most capable and the least damnable, or can die if he is plugged in by the male lead. , there is a woman who did nothing to hold her back and lived to the end, and there was a virgin heroine who was willing to give her life to drag her feet. The problem is that the heroine wanted to kill everyone at the beginning, this change is really...

    Movie quotes

    • Johns: How's it look?

      Riddick: Looks clear.

      [Johns steps forward, and a creature flies out towards them. They duck and it flies into the night]

      Johns: You said it was clear!

      Riddick: I said it *looked* clear.

      Johns: Well, how does it look now?

      Riddick: Looks clear.

    • [first lines]

      Riddick: [voiceover] They say most of your brain shuts down in cryo-sleep. All but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I'm still awake. Transporting me with civilians. Sounded like 40, 40-plus. Heard an Arab voice. Some hoodoo holy man, probably on his way to New Mecca. But what route? What route? I smelt a woman. Sweat, boots, tool belt, leather. Prospector type. Free settlers. And they only take the back roads. And here's my real problem. Mr. Johns... the blue-eyed devil. Planning on taking me back to slam... only this time he picked a ghost lane. A long time between stops. A long time for something to go wrong...

    • Riddick: All you people are so scared of me. Most days I'd take that as a compliment. But it ain't me you gotta worry about now.
