Demon Slayer: Science fiction films are enchanted

In 1818, the British poet Shelley's 19-year-old wife Mary Shelley created the world's first science fiction novel "Frankenstein", which was adapted many times by later generations and became the earliest science fiction blueprint and horror theme on the big screen, of which "The Bride of Frankenstein" produced in 1935 was originally a sequel to "Frankenstein" in 1931, but surpassed the previous work to become one of the greatest horror works of all time. Lionsgate's new game, Slayer Warrior, is in constant blood ties to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and attempts to achieve genetic mutations on another magical orbit.

The film intercepts the core content of Mary Shelley's original novel, but the main framework is based on the original picture book novel of Kevin Guiliux, the screenwriter of the "Tales of the Night", so it inherits the overall style of "Legends of the Night", and has changed from a science fiction story to a magical giant. The story tells that the soulless artificial man Adam is involved in the whirlpool of the god and demon war, the gods and demons want to get the secrets of it, and carry out two hundred years of capture and hunting, Adam grew and grew in a long period of time, and finally saved mankind in this god and demon war, and finally obtained the soul. In addition to the story of "Frankenstein", the war between the monastery and the demon is the key to the enlargement of the original volume, and it is also the film's attachment to the special effects magic blockbuster.

The transformation of Mary Shelley's original book in Slayer Warrior is devastating, but not without precursors. Attempts at frankenstein began as early as 1910, especially the series that began in 1931 and continued into 1945, through the evolution of Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Wife, Frankenstein's Son, Frankenstein's Ghost, Frankenstein's Fool, Frankenstein Meets Werewolf, Frankenstein House, and Vampire Zombie House, the fifth of which was also a sequel to the Frankenstein and Werewolf series, and the seventh was simply Frankenstein. The werewolf joins forces with Dracula the Vampire. Several versions of the 70s and 1990s were more loyal to Mary Shelley than the increasingly magical pioneering attempts of their predecessors. Now well-known to post-70s and post-80s Chinese audiences, it is not Kenneth Branagh's "Frankenstein's Regeneration" directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Robert De Niro. For the new human beings after the 90s, Frankenstein is relatively unfamiliar, and the latest mark is the ugly and ugly big man in the 2012 Sony animation "Elf Hostel".

"Demon Slayer Warrior" in the Chinese market to take over "Avengers 2", unfortunately there are also good luck. Unfortunately, after the climax of "Fast and Furious 7", the reputation of "Avengers 2" is not bad, which is bound to reduce the audience's expectations for imported films; fortunately, the single-day box office of "Avengers 2" with 50% or 60% of the films has dropped to 20 to 30 million, and the new films have a lot of room space to fight for. It is not difficult to find that the birth of the so-called "Age of Ultron" in "Avengers 2" and the "Slayer Warrior" are all created by the obsession of an individualistic scientific madman, Ultron was born from the failure of Iron Man, Adam is Frankstein's artificial man, "Frankstein" is still the sci-fi originator of all artificial people, and Iron Man's Ultron is not the copycat of the artificial man Adam. Not only that, including the "Super Cha Pai" that has not yet been offline, it is said that there is no lack of Adam's creative genes, the ignorance of the artificial intelligence Cha Pai when it was born, the social evil experienced and the return of good thoughts, and the situation of the artificial man in "Frankstein" has many similarities.

Of course, this genetically mutated "Demon Slayer Warrior" has no intention of making future generations of science fiction recognize its ancestors, nor does it intend to bear the pressure of the market like "Avengers 2", but from the perspective of the magic visual effects award, it seeks its own audience. Two hundred years after Adam's appearance in 1795, there were no car accidents and neon worlds, and the Buddha was still in England in the era of industrial innovation, full of old or abandoned streets, churches and old buildings, except for the discharge device in the scientist's laboratory, which was bright, and everything was Gothic cold. Several rounds of battles between the stone-style descending demon beast and the demon that appeared in the flames are the biggest selling point of the film. Of course, after the film industry has undergone the magic baptism of "The Lord of the Rings", these are nothing, but for fans of "Legend of the Night" and "Van Helsing", it is a table of dark private dishes.

Coincidentally, in Marvel's "Avengers" series, we also saw the marriage of science fiction heroes represented by Iron Man and magical heroes represented by Thor, and science fiction went up, it seems that in addition to mythology is demonization. The enchanted "Frankenstein" and the enchanted "reunion" work together, and it seems that above science fiction, there is only a magic road to ascend to heaven.
