What fascinates the tide the most is its sense of darkness and heaviness
That's the charm of DC
"Batman" prequel trilogy, "V-Kills", "Watchmen" and other movies
It is as if opening the door to the tidal new world, so that all viewers can see that superheroes can also be full of reflection on society, full of torture and reflection on human nature.
At that time, Tidal knew that superheroes would die, they were also ordinary people, and they were also human beings with ordinary feelings and ordinary needs.
And in the whole of DC, Tidal's favorite and saddest superhero should be - Constantine
This tragic lonely and handsome hero is the tide that cannot extricate himself
And today the tides are going to talk about the movie Constantine's latest animated film
- The film version of Constantine: City of Demons
Why emphasize the movie version
Constantine: City of Demons is a web series that combines 5 episodes of Constantine: City of Demons with new clips to turn into a complete movie that you can enjoy watching all at once.
The film goes back to Constantine's youth, the konstantin who was not yet a "hell detective".
At that time, he was still a rock and roll youth, in order to save a girl, and released the demon Nilge, unable to control Nilgay, he watched Nilgay massacre
In the end, the girl was not rescued, but a bloody massacre was committed.
The scene of the girl falling into hell screams becomes Konstantin's nightmare
The young Constantine underwent a mental breakdown, rebuilt, and became a new "Hell Detective" Constantine.
And heaven seemed to be joking with him, and this time he faced the same problem.
He wants to reclaim the soul of his best friend Chas's daughter from the demon Nilgay, whom he summoned with his own hands.
So the story begins.
DC movies are really mud on the wall, but doing anime, DC has never been in doubt.
Constantine's magical world in Castle of Demons is fascinating, dark, gloomy and full of bloody violence and horror (manual squinting)
None of this, however, is the most fascinating part of the film
The most fascinating thing is obviously Constantine, a character you can't hate
Constantine's charm lies in the cracks in other people's humanity, he has seen too much darkness and reality
He may have a negative attitude towards life, but people like him are destined to be lonely all their lives, which is a kind of protection for the people around him
A protection of grief that does not count in return.
At the end of the film, the demon Nilgay is defeated
Defeated by what?
With love, with the love that is customary in the movie, with the universal love, love gushes out of the body of the devil.
For demons, love is a cancerous existence, enough to kill any demon.
In the final battle, the demon Nilgay was turned into demon, turned into several piles of bloody rotten flesh.
Demons are defeated by love, and the loss of memories is the price of spells.
Death or oblivion, which is worse?
In the movie, Constantine's friend's daughter is rescued, at the cost that all memories of love disappear, the friend's wife and daughter will not remember the friend, and the friend's memory will also erase everything about the wife and daughter, and even forget the friendship with Konstantin.
If there is no memory, is it still important to be alive?
If you can't live, does memory still matter?
None of us know that he is the only one who has all the memories
It's called –Konstantin
His life seems to always be one or the other, can not be unified, can not be complete, always have a sense of helplessness about fate.
He's a superhero who can make people feel bad
He endured all the memories, watched his friends leave, watched himself and himself separate
He was still the decadent handsome man in the trench coat shirt and tie, the lone walker who walked between yin and yang.
Or the tragic culprit Konstantin of the Lone Star
