In the DC Universe, Superman is a very powerful existence, just look at Superman's performance in "Justice League", just resurrected to hang other members, and kill boss Steppenwolf.
But as powerful as Superman, he is not invincible. Superman has two obvious weaknesses, one of which is Kryptonite, which is widely known, look at the performance of Superman in "Superman vs Batman", it is simply incapacitated; Superman's other weakness is magic, magic will weaken Superman's physical strength and defense, so that the knife and gun Superman has the possibility of injury.
The wizarding world has always been a very important part of the DC Universe, and magicians such as ghosts, Zatana, and ravens have very powerful magic, but among many magicians, there is one person who is not known for magic, and he is Constantine.
When it comes to magic, you may not think of him first, but if you talk about liars and scum, most people should think of Konstantin first. Yes, Constantine, nicknamed Zakang, comes with the attribute of a lone star, cheating people and selling teammates is his daily routine, and those who come into contact with him basically have no good end. As a magician, not known for his powerful magic, but for his scum attributes, it is enough to see how corrupt his character really is.
In the past, whether in comics or in film and television anime, whenever Za Kang's face was not red and he did not breathe a serious fool, or when he did not hesitate to leave his teammates and run away, I would put my hands on my forehead and shout in my heart how there could be such a brazen person under the sky, yes, as the strongest fraudster in the DC Universe, Za Kang did not hesitate to achieve the goal, nor did he care about his reputation (it was useless to care, the reputation was completely stinky).
In my mind, Zakon is an extremely irresponsible person, looking at his usual style, it is difficult to imagine that he will have any concerns, or unforgettable things, but after watching this "Constantine: City of Demons", my opinion of him has changed slightly.
The film mainly revolves around the soul of Jac kang saving the soul of his friend's daughter, and the demon who kidnapped the girl's soul is the one he summoned when he was young to cause the big mistake, so this rescue is actually to make up for the mistakes he made and redeem himself.
In the film, the demon says that his friend is the only person he cares about, which seems to me to be true, this friend is his playmate from childhood to adulthood, and has accompanied him through the most difficult period of young ignorance, and the personality of his friend is completely opposite to his, gentle, tolerant, understanding, yes, the typical white moonlight person, even if he is a man.
In the film, Zakang continues to act like a bastard, but I see something different, he looks light on the surface, but when the demon threatens the girl's life, he begins to become cautious, even afraid, and even stupid enough to be deceived by the demon.
When I saw the bridge section he had with his friends, everything had a reasonable explanation, and I actually saw his ——— sincerity? He was so careful because he cared.
But even if he had gone his own way, he still couldn't change the nature of the scum of the others, and after he had cleverly caused the six demons to go to war so that he could destroy the six demons without any effort, I began to support my forehead again.
At the end of the film, in order to fight the devil, he sacrifices his friendship with the only friend he cares about and completes his redemption, which also confirms his saying that the use of curses will always pay a price. After this, he will have no worries, we may no longer see him as distracted as this time, he may become more and more bad, more and more bottomless. But this may be what he has to endure to take this path, isolation, loneliness.
At the end of the film, he did not obliterate the last demon and let it follow him, is it because behind his light expression, in the depths of his own heart, there is also a glimmer of desire for companionship and understanding?
