Chapter 388: Weightlessness (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Compared with fans, good-looking parties and film critics who are distracted and want to comment when they have nothing to do, Diana's attitude towards watching movies is undoubtedly very correct.

For her, good-looking is the only criterion for evaluating a good movie.

So, when I saw Konstantin's exorcism, the long-legged policewoman found it interesting-

Although the exorcism at the beginning seems a little abrupt, under the director's successful narrative rhythm, Diana still easily understands the content of the exorcism story.

It's just that when she saw the devil struggling in the girl's body, she was a little scared.

- In this sense, Diana is a little ashamed of her name.

However, when she saw Chas, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the policewoman suddenly laughed again.

"Is my face so funny?"

Listening to the faint laughter welling up in the screening room, Joseph Gordon-Levitt touched his face in frustration.

He always thinks that he is still a beautiful boy!

Why did you play a funny role in "Hell Detective"?

What's even stranger is that there aren't too many funny elements in his lines, why did the audience laugh as soon as he appeared?

Is it really because of the problem with this modeling, as Mr. Director said during the filming before?

But I don't see anything strange!

Poor Joseph was puzzled.

- "Detective Hell" was Joseph Gordon-Levitt's first big-budget film.

Therefore, although he played only a supporting role in it, he still came to the premiere in person to see how he performed.

And now—

"It's always strange, but when people laugh when they see my character, it means they like me, right?"

Joseph thought to himself,

"Still, I hope to play some more major roles, especially if I can play as handsome as Keanu, that would be even better!"

And when he saw Konstantin using the mirror to draw out the scene of the demon attached to the girl, Joseph's envy in his heart was even greater-

"This kind of scene where you turn around and go to the mirror with the demon, and then knock the demon down with one punch, and then you use the power to rewind to reality, is really full of imagination and expressiveness. 」

Although Joseph was on the scene when this scene was filmed, he did not expect that after the film was completed, the performance of this scene would be so powerful.

Even if you don't talk about Joseph's own feelings, just listen to the exclamations of the audience, you can know how good this scene is -

After luring the demon into the mirror, Konstantin turned around, bringing a very delicate sense of mirror turn;

And after he arrived in the mirror world, when facing the demons, he had a sense of falling. But when he knocked out the demon with one punch and exited the mirror world in a reverse way, the direction of gravity reversed in an instant.

Between this reversal, the weightlessness feels great.

"This action scene is full of imagination!"

Joseph liked this scene very much, especially the feeling of always in the fight, and it was his favorite.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely play a weightless fight, it looks really enjoyable!"

The young actor made up his mind.

Like Joseph, Kenneth Turan also enjoyed the fight scenes.

This film critic, who likes commercial movies more, even thinks that Charlotte's level of shooting action scenes is improving-

You must know that before, including "Guillotine Valley", which had a lot of action scenes, there were few action scenes full of imagination and graphic expression.

"Charlotte Booth's previous action shots were more impactful, but this time it's full of imagination!"

Kenneth Turan admired in his heart.

Of course, as a film critic, he doesn't just focus on action scenes.

In his opinion, whether the expression of the plot is complete or not is the most important thing.

So, when he saw the end of the exorcism, Konstantin roughly realized from the demon's mouth that the other party was looking for something, and Mr. Critic nodded.

"The narrative technique is very good, in just a few sentences, some obscure things are explained, which is very good!"

As a film critic who has reviewed every Charlotte film, Kenneth Turan feels that the young director's narrative skills have improved again.

"In particular, while designing wonderful action scenes, I don't forget the main storyline, which is rare in a commercial film director!"

Thinking of some directors whose shooting scenes are hand-to-hand combat in addition to explosions, regardless of whether the story logic is reasonable or not, and whether the audience can understand it, Kenneth Turan feels that a director like Charlotte who pays attention to the plot is correct.

On the other hand, as a spectator, he couldn't help but wonder what the demon was looking for.

"Is it the spear of Longinus?"

Seeing a mural in the home of a demon-possessed girl, combined with the fact that the girl was of German descent and that the family seemed to have some connection to the Nazis, Kenneth Turan suddenly had this speculation.

Then, the next moment, he smiled—

Charlotte didn't follow the pattern of the original "Detective Hell", and he felt that in that case, the opening scene would be a bit confusing to the audience.

Therefore, when he edited, he first let Konstantin, played by Keanu Reeves, appear for an exorcism.

Then, with some faint hints during the exorcism, the shot of Longinus's spear was introduced-

Somewhere in Mexico, the landscape has a hellish wasteland feel to it, and two scavengers find a strange spear head.

And at this moment, a meteorite fell from the sky, and on the back of the hand of the scavenger holding the head of the spear, the symbol of the demon Mammon appeared......

Unlike the original "Detective of Hell", this Mexican scavenger who is responsible for carrying, or rather transporting, the newly discovered Gun of Longinus, is not a somewhat obscene middle-aged man, but a young boy in a red sweatshirt.

After all, compared with middle-aged men, children play demons, which brings a stronger contrast.

- Especially in the back, when the demon Mammon and Angela, a policewoman played by Jodie Foster, are in the same picture, it will also produce a strange and terrifying beauty.

This kind of beauty can't be brought by a greasy middle-aged man.

What's more, according to Charlotte's plot setting, the demon Mammon is the son of Lucifer, the king of hell, and the image of a child is more conducive to explaining the plot.

Of course, Kenneth Turan, who has only seen the scene of the spear of Longinus, does not know about these later plots.

It was only through some clues revealed by Constantine during his exorcism that he realized that the spear of Longinus had been discovered by the demons.

"The demon that was killed by Konstantin at the beginning doesn't seem to be just for the protagonist to be handsome!"

Kenneth Turan lamented the cleverness of the plot setting of "Hell Detective", but he was also a little worried-

Will such an implied amount of information be missed by audiences who do not have enough general knowledge or are not careful, so that they cannot understand the plot?

However, listening to the whispers of the audience around him, Mr. Film Critic felt that he was worried again.

Ordinary viewers may not be able to understand the hints related to Longinus's gun, but director Charlotte's skillful narrative method and lens language are enough for them to understand the synopsis of the plot -

The demons defeated by Constantine are looking for something, and the Mexican plot that follows tells them that the demons have found what they are looking for.

That's enough!

The audience can watch the movie without hindrance, and as for those hidden details, the audience may suddenly realize after watching it, and feel that they have missed something-

Then they can brush it twice!
