Getting to know Christian Bell actually started with the movie "The End of the Tear."
"Torn Doom" cost $20 million to produce, was released in 2002, with little pre-publicity and a new director. Just from the poster, you can roughly infer that the film production cost is not much, if not the action film heavy fans, I am afraid it will not be attracted, when I first watched, it was really not a film to see, only to download to see, the result did not expect the action design of the wonderful, gun battle surface, dress style style in tribute to "The Matrix" at the same time to create their own characteristics.
The film's director, Kurt Wiemo, is a screenwriter by profession. Born in the United States, of German descent. The director thinks that "The Torn End" is his debut work, in fact, he directed a thriller "Bad Hero" in 1995, but he was fired halfway, so this brother has not recognized this film. After the end of the world, he also directed an action film called Deadly Violet, starring Mira Jovovich. After that, I basically just did my own work: screenwriters. Participating in the screenwriting are "Law-abiding Citizen", "Agent Schott", "Total Memories", "Extreme Thief" and other films.
The film was produced and distributed by Dimen Pictures. The more well-known films produced by the company are: "Scream" series, fierce ghost series, it can be roughly known that the company mainly produces and distributes horror thriller films. In fact, in the early years, he often participated in the distribution of Jet Li and Jackie Chan action films, such as "Fang Shiyu", "Jingwu Hero", "Drunken Fist 2", "Flying Eagle Project", etc., and these films also appeared in Dimen Pictures.
"Torn Doom" did not set off much waves after its release. Now IMDb and Douban scores are stable at about 7.5 points. There are more than 300,000 people on IMDb who score the film, while there are only a little more than 30,000 on Douban, so the film's influence among Chinese fans is limited, and most people may only think that Bell is handsome and cool.
Back to the point, the film is set in the post-World War III world, where the newly born totalitarian government injects the people with a drug that paralyzes the emotional nerves, so that the people cannot produce any emotions, and if there is a trace of emotion, it is a crime or the theft of any art or book, and it will be executed. John Preston (Christian Bell) was a senior official in the government's military service. He destroyed all works of art and art, hunted down those who had not yet abandoned his feelings, and killed all those who resisted, and his colleague Ello Paterje (Sean Bin) was not spared because he had a forbidden book. During one operation, John meets Mary. She causes John to start cutting off drugs, trying to get a feel for what it's like to live with feelings. He was intoxicated by the wonderful sights that appeared for the first time in his life, and he felt deeply guilty for his destruction of art. His anomalous behavior is seen by his new colleague Brandt, who has been spying on his location, so he tries his best to test John's unreality. Eventually, between work and morality, between danger and ease, between emotion and depravity, John resolutely participated in the underground rebellion, killed the leaders of the totalitarian government, and overthrew the utopian empire.
British actor Sean Bin plays a priest who stopped taking control drugs earlier and eventually died under John's gun. Sean Bing, an actor who plays a supporting role in the main character temperament, but he died in various ways in the play, and at the end of the first season of "Game of Thrones", his role of Eddard Stark was beheaded, and in this film, he was shot in the head by Bell. In this film, the two can be called the peak of their respective appearances.
The film is a bit of a glorification of the Nazis, and a large number of shots and sets are easy to remind people of Nazi Germany, and there is also a satire of Western religious popes.
Too deep an interpretation, I don't think it's necessary. Xingye once said that your interpretation of my films, even I don't know that I can think like this. So, to put it simply, don't think too much about it.
