The classical style in this movie is also very strong because of this, but we don't think it is outdated at all, and we don't think it is rustic at all.
Did the female boss of the underworld face the murderer, submerge herself in the warm bathtub, and cut off the artery, did you feel deja vu? Yes, 50 years ago, Cleopatra also ended her life on the screen like this, but at that time she stretched her wrists to the beautiful and delicate snake with its triangular head held high. This is a tribute to the classics.
In the changing scene, the killing god came to Rome. This city is more advanced (superficial) than New York, what more need to say?
The greatest classics come from such a mysterious organization. It is like a cloud of masters, and promises a lot of money.
Such an organization with a very strong farming color still exists in such an era with the most advanced technology. It is not only that it has not been annihilated, it is not only that it will not arouse our doubts, because it is full of mysterious power. And let us believe in it, is it precisely because this world is too dark, too powerful, and too mysterious that we believe in the invisible existence of this organization, because it itself represents this dark, powerful and mysterious existence. mysterious world.
Therefore, when this organization used the old-fashioned communication method to issue a bounty for the killing god, not only did we not laugh because of the backwardness of this method, on the contrary, it made us awe. As if this outdated approach was intentional, this outdated approach is a mysterious reflection of such an organization.
Different from the first one, the sequel constitutes the soul of the film in a classical way. We who seem to be advanced, and we who can even grow up, are still fascinated and worshipped by such a classic.
