Chapter 397: The Devil's Stand-in (Second Update)
In the movie, under the direction of Konstantin, Angela immerses herself in water.
Although she almost drowned because of the long immersion time, in the end, she still succeeded in opening the yin and yang eyes and found a clue.
That's a coin.
Hidden in an inconspicuous corner near where Beyman died.
"It's him!?"
Seeing this coin, Konstantin immediately realized who the murderer of Beeman really was-
That's the demon he met in Daddy Midnight's bar, and he threatened him!
Balthazar!!
He remembered very well that the pesky demon was fond of playing with the same coin......
Angry Konstantin immediately prepared weapons and went to Balthazar for revenge -
The next scene is an action scene.
It should be said that compared with the original "Hell Detective", Charlotte's movie is much more detailed in terms of action scenes.
At least, this fight between Konstantin and the demon Balthazar is not a simple American boxing fight.
In fact, this action scene is more like the action scenes of later Hollywood - the kind of real and sharp style that integrates a variety of fighting techniques, including Chinese kung fu.
You must know that it is only 1997, and I have not experienced the impact of kung fu stars such as Jackie Chan, let alone the "preaching" of "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", this fighting style is undoubtedly very fresh and impactful for North American audiences.
Even Kenneth Turan, a veteran film critic who has read countless films, is no exception-
"This action scene is very creative!"
Kenneth Turan felt that Charlotte was improving again,
"The fight was short, but it was absolutely groundbreaking!"
However, after seeing the plot behind, Mr. Film Critic temporarily put the matter about the action scene behind him -
The turning point in the story has finally arrived!
After defeating the demon Balthazar, Konstantin finally obtained the information he needed by threatening to send him to heaven (really)-
It turns out that, as revealed in the previous plot of the movie, Manmon, the son of Satan, wants to come to earth, but this needs the support of God's bloodline, that is-
"Spear of Longinus!"
Seeing this, Kenneth Turan finally strung together all the previous speculations.
Undoubtedly, the boy in red, who flashed many times in the previous movies, was holding the Spear of Longinus.
This gun was the weapon that killed Jesus and was stained with Jesus' blood. And Jesus is the Son of God -
"So the spear of Longinus can help the demon Mammon descend on people, but where is the boy in red going to send this holy spear?"
Kenneth Turan's doubts were quickly answered.
In the movie, after defeating Balthazar, Konstantin realized that something was wrong and left in a hurry with Angela, but Angela was still suddenly pulled away by a mysterious force.
Konstantin didn't even have time to react.
He also didn't know where Angela was taken.
In desperation, he rushed to Daddy Midnight's bar again and asked to borrow the chair that could make people go back in time to find clues.
Moreover, this time in the agitation, he directly adopted the method of the threat of force.
Feeling offended, Midnight Daddy rejects him again, and uses voodoo to quickly subdue the agitated and ill-prepared Konstantin.
However, after Constantine said that Manmon was about to descend and that Beeman and Father Fat had waited for his and Daddy Midnight's mutual friends to die, Daddy Midnight faltered.
He finally lent the chair to Konstantin.
Watching the movie, Konstantin sat in the electric chair that electrocuted 200 prisoners and went back in time and space, and Diana also thoroughly understood the ins and outs of the story -
It turned out that if the demon Mammon wanted to descend on people, he not only needed the blood of Jesus left on the spear of Longinus, but also needed a powerful spiritual medium as the carrier of his arrival.
He set his sights on Isabel, who was born with yin and yang eyes.
And Isabel also found out about this, so she finally chose to commit suicide.
- Even though it would cause her soul to fall into Hell, it would prevent her from being used by the demon Mammon.
However, the demon Mammon has another choice-
Angela, Isabel's sister!
Angela was also born with yin and yang eyes, and was even more talented than her sister Isabel.
However, she had always chosen to close off her abilities before, which made the demons helpless.
However, in order to find out the truth about her sister Isabel's suicide, she gradually turned on the ability to seal herself for a long time with the help of Konstantin......
"So, it is precisely because of this that Angela gradually meets the conditions required by the demon Mammon and is finally captured?"
As a fan of comics who has read the original book of "Constantine", Leonard clearly feels the "malice of the world" from the director and screenwriter.
- Of course, this can also be said to be another time for Konstantin to pit his teammates.
In fact, this situation has happened more than once in the comics-
Konstantin's impatient personality, as well as his unprincipled and unscrupulous style, doomed him to encounter such things easily.
It can be said that seeing this "Hell Detective" so far, it is very Konstantin!
Even if Leonard doesn't like Keanu Reeves very much, he has to admit that the other party's degree of restoration is indeed very high.
However, according to this degree of restoration, what will the later Armageddon part look like?
Leonard couldn't help but be a little curious.
Equally curious, Joseph Gordon Levitt, who was still cowering in the corner of the movie theater.
As the actor of Chass in the movie, although he has not seen the final film, through the script, he still roughly understands that the next showdown with the demons will be a rare highlight moment for Chas, played by him, in the whole movie.
This time, he's no longer just in charge of gags and funny.
He helped Konstantin prepare weapons and came up with a way to use holy water to drastically weaken the demons.
This gets him recognized by Konstantin and Daddy Midnight -
"Take him there! and kill him!"
Although Daddy Midnight's admission was a bit strange, Chas was given the opportunity to fight with them.
Daddy Midnight even prepared a voodoo-like prayer ritual in the hope of bringing them good luck.
Konstantin, however, scoffed.
In short, Midnight Daddy, who was originally strictly neutral, finally went to the battlefield with them-
It was a building, full of demons, and Konstantin traveled back in time through a chair to finally find it.
