Dark Fairy + Game of Thrones

Merle 2021-12-19 08:01:16

Although I am not a fan of comics, I have fallen in love with superhero movies due to the influence of the Avengers in the past two years.

It feels like superheroes are adult fairy tales just like watching martial arts novels in the middle school age.

It was not long before Hong Kong movies called: You have science, I have magic.

In the movie, the Americans used various techniques to pile up Iron Man, which is essentially the same as Guo Jing, our magical body guard.

Spider-Man became powerful after being bitten by a spider, and Duan Yu inadvertently swallowed clams and became invincible.

Hulk was radiated to become a super invincible giant and Zhang Wuji fell off the cliff and broke into the forbidden area to learn the Nine Suns and the Great Shift of the Universe.

In short, the routine is that accidental victory is inevitable, and small probability defeats high probability.

I watched "Hellboy: The Rise of the Blood Queen" with the mentality of watching a superhero. I made up the first two movies before I went into the cinema to watch the third one.

Hellboy is not the same as a superhero movie. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a superhero movie in the traditional sense. It should be an unconventional super-English movie, which is super-British.

The whole movie is like a dark fairy tale.

Witches, psychics, resurrection, hell, demons and giants...

These are all fairy tale elements, combined with violence and blood... Isn't this a dark fairy tale?

It's just lengthened.

As a fairy tale, in the beginning, King Arthur battled witches, and the unkillable witches were dismantled by King Arthur.

I am looking forward to it, and I estimate that there will be a treasure hunt and puzzle story.

But treasure hunts and puzzles belong to the play of the villain, the tasks of a pig demon and a house demon.

The protagonist's play is to find his own life experience in the fight against monsters.

Hellboy was summoned from hell and adopted by Bloom, the professor of justice, who gave him a good family education.

This can evolve into two routines in fairy tales: one is the farmer and the snake, and the other is the ugly duckling becoming a white swan.

After watching the three, I feel that the protagonist's plot is swinging between these two stories.

In the first part, he was bewitched by the Nazis and almost turned into the snake that bites the farmer. In this part, the temptation is even more so that he directly makes him take up the sword and take control of the world.

Of course the protagonist has withstood the test.

Especially in the end, the protagonist's father turned into a soul and came out of Alice's mouth to preach.

Directly let the hellboy wield the butcher knife, cut the devil with the horizontal knife, and ward off the devil.

It fully shows that although people are evil at first, a good family education can turn the ugly duckling into a white swan.

Even without the white swan gene, it can become a spiritual "white swan".

Of course, as the protagonist is growing up, the biggest enemy he faces is secular prejudice.

After all, he is no better than Hulk, and can maintain the state of a mortal when he is not angry.

Even though he saw off his horns, his flushed figure, two bowl-sized scars, and a petrified arm, he looked like an alien.

He talks humorously and handles things a little bit carelessly, probably in order to dispel the evil in the image and to blend in with everyone.

Nevertheless, his appearance in the movie caused a shock.

The prophet Alice took him into her home and tried to test by hiding a gun under the table.

This is true for the prophet who can perceive the future, let alone other people.

That kind of prejudice is represented by the organization to which the second-rate prophecy master who rolls his eyes like a female version of Ke Zhen's evil belongs.

Non-self races, their hearts must be different, it is their logic of action.

Therefore, in the name of catching giants, they set a trap and secretly killed the Hellboy.

Hellboy used his strength to protect himself and killed the giant alone.

This shows that despite being hurt, Hellboy still automatically draws a line from evil.

Humans really abuse me thousands of times, and I treat humans like first love.

This part of the bridge probably pave the way for him to be fooled by his father in the end.

In short, this is not a regular superhero movie, and it cannot be compared to a martial arts novel like the heroes of Marvel.

When I saw the pig demon desperately searching for the corpse, I remembered Journey to the West.

That wild boar is ugly and cute, a bit like the second brother.

Of course, compared with Ba Jie, he is still a hundred humorous.

The story of the villain is also very tortuous.

The boar spirit was beaten to the ground by the Hellboy, and he thought that only by resurrecting the blood queen could he regain his position.

So he exhausted every effort to complete the resurrection.

Unexpectedly, the blood queen after the resurrection told him that she was not a big boss, and was not the final decision maker.

The final decision maker is the Hellboy who took your power back. We can only instigate him, let him Chen Qiao mutiny, and add his yellow robe, we are the second general.

As a result, the blood queen sacrificed her second brother in order to sacrifice to the king in her heart.

But at the last moment, the Sanskrit sounded, and the killed Professor Bloom (the godfather of Hellboy) turned into a soul like a Tang monk to preach, allowing the lost "child" to find their home.

In this way, this movie uses fairy tale elements to tell a Game of Thrones story.

The witch and the king, the elves and the giants, the prophets and the monsters used their respective powers to launch an offensive and defensive battle.

Although the process was tortuous, in the end the light triumphed over the darkness.

Because Guangming has the strongest alliance, no matter how anti-routines can't escape this routine.

This is probably the difference between superheroes and their enemies in this movie and ordinary superhero movies.

This is an R-rated super British popcorn movie.

It tests the taste buds and visual and psychological qualities more than the brain...

    WoW! There is no urine point in the whole process, so happy to see :)

    2.5, it's actually better than I imagined. When I first came up, I started with King Arthur, and I was also very middle-2 and B-level.

Hellboy quotes
