Constantine

Who doesn't want to have superpowers.
Superman, Spiderman, X-Men...Anything will do.
However, some superpowers are embarrassing or a burden.
For example, you can see the devil.

Constantine in the movie has this ability.
It wasn't because he was from an alien planet,
or because he was bitten by a creature,
but because there was both angel and devil blood flowing on him.

From a young age, he can see the devil wandering in the world.
In his world, it seems that humans, gods, and demons all coexist in a time and space.
The great fear made him have the experience of suicide when he was a child.
In the pain and suffering, he realized that this was the mission given to him by God.
Well, then, a story of hunting evil and saving the world begins.

It would be wrong to imagine Constantine as Neo in The Matrix.
Constantine was decadent, violent and rebellious.
Starting at the age of 15, 30 cigarettes a day caused his lungs to be riddled with holes,
and he often coughed up the same blood as Li Xunhuan.
It's just that Li Xunhuan's image is in full compliance with the spirit of
chivalry.
Constantine’s heroism is a bit selfish,
and all his actions are just self-salvation,
so that he can be forgiven by God, and he can step into the door of heaven in the future.
This is another spirit that is fully in line with Catholic teachings.

The end of the film is jaw-dropping,
Constantine's blood makes the angel and the devil Satan appear together.
The angel Gabriel showed his footing, and his plan to rule the Three Realms with Satan's son went bankrupt.
When God opened the door of heaven to Constantine,
Constantine made a cool comparison with Satan's middle finger, but
Satan did not show any weakness to pull out Constantine's black and transparent lungs and
let him return to the world.
After going around, the gods and demons drew a tie.

The director was born in a MV,
but did not reduce the movie to a two-hour MV.
The language of the lens is very powerful, and
the details of the characters are also exquisite,
such as the angel Gabriel’s golden curly hair with gray and black wings, and
Satan in a pure white suit and a white handkerchief in his pocket. ...The
director's whimsy has changed the religious meaning into its own color.

    I don’t understand, but this is indeed a movie about smoking causing lung cancer. . orz. . The queen's face is cute after the last punch

    In the later stage of high energy, I didn't expect this to work! In order to get him, Satan inserted his hands into Constantine's ribs to take out his diseased part to prolong his life and compete with God for his time!
