Chapter 389: Signs of Calamity (Ask for Collection)
In fact, many people know that it is best to progress the story layer by layer, so that it can always give people an unexpected and reasonable feeling.
But it's easier said than done.
The reality is, not to mention the progressive plot, even if there is a little more stalk or meaning in a story, it will be complained that it is difficult to understand.
Write two sentences at the end of the chapter PS to explain, and it will be said that it is pretending to be forced......
In short, it is not easy to tell the story smoothly in the movie, so in her own magic "Hell Detective", Charlotte simply used a very simple and crude routine -
After adjusting the order of the two plots, they are directly connected.
Because the human brain is an associative thinking mode, after watching the previous Constantine exorcism and discovering what the demon was looking for, the following shot immediately cuts to the clip where the scavengers find the spear of Longinus, which will naturally give the audience a feeling that what the demons are looking for has appeared.
This is not only the use of lens language, but also the instinct of human thinking.
Kenneth Turan will laugh as a film critic precisely because of this routine used by Charlotte -
This routine is not a difficult technique to master, but it is just right to be used by Charlotte here.
obviously didn't have a clear introduction, and even the scavengers didn't even have two lines, but it made the audience realize what kind of changes the plot had undergone.
"Charlotte Booth's storytelling skills have really improved!"
Kenneth Turan sighed, but couldn't help but be interested in the boy in red with a golden gun head in the movie,
"This must be the spear of Longinus, right? What is it that controls this little boy? is it a demon, and what does the emblem on his hand mean?"
Mr. Critic, who has never read the original manga, can only secretly guess.
At this time, Emily's former math teacher, Andrew, was also pondering the same problem.
Andrew didn't take the movie so seriously at first-
Although "Hell Detective" is also his favorite movie genre, it is not "Star Wars" after all.
Andrew's purpose this time is more to stalk his girlfriend Diana.
However, after seeing that Diana was accompanied by another beautiful woman, Andrew was much less worried.
Although the shadow of the lace edge still lingers in his mind, he still has some thoughts about watching the movie.
And after seeing the sign of the volcanic line on the arm of the boy in red, he couldn't help but ponder-
"What the hell is this sign?"
"This should be the sign of the demon Mammon!"
Not far from Andrew, as the original party, Sheldon is gleefully spoiling his friends.
"Manmon!?"
Leonard, who was sitting next to Sheldon, was stunned for a moment, and then reacted,
"Please, Sheldon!
"But don't you want to know the rest of the plot in advance?"
At this moment, Sheldon is like a seductive and depraved demon.
"This ......"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Leonard's eyes, and finally he insisted,
"I'd better watch the movie!"
"Okay!"
Sheldon shrugged,
"Actually, I don't know the plot behind it. ”
"What!?"
"This sign is actually something I saw in some Catholic books. ”
Sheldon explained,
"In the original comics of "Constantine", there is no similar plot. ”
"Okay!"
Leonard nodded a little speechlessly, and then suddenly a question came to mind,
"Wait, don't you believe in religion?"
"But my mother is a devout Catholic!"
Even though he has a super high IQ, Sheldon is still just a child in front of his mother......
In fact, the sign that appeared on the arm of the boy in red, the reason why many people noticed it was because Charlotte used spells specifically.
On the face of it, it is indeed the sign of the demonic Mammon in the Bible narrative.
But in fact, Charlotte has added some hidden lines to the inside of the logo.
- It seems to have become a real magic circle.
This circle is so striking that one can't help but speculate about its significance.
In this way, the presence of the boy in red suddenly became much stronger.
- Although, that's not really what the circle is for......
Of course, no matter what the audience guesses, the progress of the film will not stop.
Soon, Angela, a policewoman played by Jodie Foster, appears.
Although in the eyes of some people, Judy, who is a double Oscar actress, is not a peerless beauty.
But I have to admit that before her face is old, her unique style is a unique color in Hollywood.
That kind of weak and strong temperament, coupled with her unique voice, can always make people smile at the corners of their mouths.
"Such a good girl, why just-"
Richard Manson, as a senior film critic, has naturally heard some rumors.
As a more traditional person, he has some prejudice against those who have special sexual orientations.
Although I don't say or do anything because of this, there is always something awkward psychologically.
Like now, he would feel sorry for Jodie Foster.
However, as a film critic, Richard Manson is not a defender after all.
He sighed inwardly and then turned his attention back to the big screen.
In the movie, Angela dreams of her twin sister Isabel in her sleep.
Isabel committed suicide!
And before committing suicide, the same logo as the little boy in red appeared on her wrist.
"The story is getting more and more confusing!"
Richard Manson found it interesting.
And what made him even more interesting was that director Charlotte really found another actress to play Angela's twin sister Isabel.
Moreover, in terms of appearance, it is really a bit similar.
"That's Charlize Theron, right?"
has commented on several Charlotte movies, and Richard naturally recognizes Charlize, who is known as Charlotte's queen heroine,
"This girl played a similar crazy role in "Devil's Advocate", the feeling of being so tight that the strings could break at any time......
Although it is only a supporting role with few appearances, Richard still feels that Charlize's acting skills have improved again.
"Maybe Charlotte Booth is well-trained! However, for twin sisters, isn't it common practice for one person to play two roles?"
Mr. Film Critic, who is familiar with Hollywood films, is a little puzzled by Charlotte's handling here.
After all, if you can have one actor to solve the problem, why use two actors?
- The budget of the crew is limited!
He didn't know that although Charlize played Isabel had few roles, her role in the later plots was definitely not small......
