Chapter 125: The Legend of the Hungry Wolf
And in all the werewolf legends, it is the movie that achieves this way of publicity, and I believe that there must be a more real legend about werewolves in addition to this, just like the wolf monster brought by the senior sister in front of him, who would have thought that in Hong Kong, a modern city, there would be such a werewolf?
In fact, many of the legends of werewolves come from Hollywood, where the screenwriters are not all excellent, but they understand the needs of popularity.
For example, in "Beasts", the traditional monsters that protect the resort are interpreted as genetic mutants of crocodiles, so the old-fashioned monster movie is transformed into a cutting-edge science fiction film.
This is not only true for science fiction films, but also for classical plots, such as what happens when Romeo meets Juliet?
Later, in the fantasy movie "Underorld", released in September 2003, Romeo is a werewolf, and Juliet is a brave and warlike vampire female warrior!
Even the famous Michael? Jackson also made his own self-acting
"Werewolf" film: This film is called "Olfed", which tells the story of a shoemaker's son who was abused by a nobleman in the 17th century, and made a pact with the devil in revenge, turning him into a werewolf.
In addition, werewolves also appear in the popular series of movies and "Harry Potter" - one is Remus Lupin, Harry's third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Harry's father's former friend; The other is Fenrir Greyback.
However, these two can be said to be the two extremes of werewolves, Lupin drinks a potion to make himself quietly transform and spend the night on the night of the full moon, while Fenrir chooses to suck blood and kill people when the moon is full, and he is extremely brutal.
But one of the most touching werewolf films to date was "The Werewolf" (TheolfMan) made in 1941.
Larry, a young Englishman, was bitten by a werewolf for saving people, and soon after he became a werewolf and began to attack his friends and even the girls he loved, and when he was sober, he tried in vain to stop himself from killing, he told his relatives, friends, and even went to the police station to turn himself in, but no one believed that he was a werewolf, and he became a recognized madman.
So every time the full moon shines, people are terrified of the terrible psychopathic killers, and the werewolves mercilessly start a new round of uncontrolled slaughter.
Caught between good and evil, Larry suffers a lot of pain, and because of the werewolf's strong vitality, he can't even succeed in killing himself.
Finally, at a garden party, Larry transforms into a werewolf again, this time targeting Larry's sweetheart.
Just as the werewolf pounced on the girl, Larry's father killed his own son with a silver cane. At the end of the film, Mariva, a gypsy teller, squeezes out of the crowd to say a final prayer for the dying werewolf, declaring that his suffering is over.
According to records at the time, the audience in the movie theater wept at Larry's misfortune.
In the later game field, although werewolves still appear from time to time, it is a pity that most of them come and go in a hurry as vampire minions, and werewolves can often be seen as a part of the demon miscellaneous soldiers in some stand-alone or online RPG games.
The only games with werewolves are probably the "Werewolf Hunting" series and "Myth III: Werewolf Age" are more famous, on the other hand, its old friend vampire is really beautiful, and there are many games with vampires as the protagonists.
Maybe in the eyes of European and American game manufacturers, vampires are more mysterious and unpredictable than werewolves, right? As a negative protagonist often needs
"Versatile", such as vampires can solve a human life with ease, and can use magic to turn into bats and slip away when encountering powerful enemies, or even disappear into a cloud of mist.
Werewolves, by contrast, seem to be able to do a little bit
"Strength work", when it comes to magic, it is simply not at all, so it is always not favored by game manufacturers. If there is really a manufacturer to venture out of a game with werewolves as the protagonist, the first scene must be in the dark night, or in a dark and damp underground cave, as a werewolf warrior with sharp teeth and claws and a killing heart, it must also create a bloody and exciting game scene.
Will there be players who will appreciate it? Looking at the zombies of the "Resident Evil" series who have been bouncing on the computer screen for many years, presumably the werewolf brothers who have been sitting on the cold bench for many years still have a chance.
