1. Constantine. This comic hero, which is hailed as “the darkest”, is a person who eats, drinks, swears and squanders in the “HELLBLAZER” comics. In the movie, he was abolished by some bad habits, and he became a couple to drink two drinks. The cup of the little wizard. It is said that in the comics, Constantine is still a bisexual…but in the movie, there is no kiss at all. Fortunately, the Chinese audience did not know the contrast between them, and regarded him as a cool hell detective, which also met the long-standing stylized taste of most viewers
Then let’s start with the description in the movie and talk about the story of Constantine and his story
Constantine has seen the super power of another world since he was a child. This ability is not a gift for him, but a curse. To this end, he chose suicide to escape in his teens, and he was rescued by a doctor (the black female doctor who was talking to him in the hospital). But within two minutes of his death, he saw the horrible and cruel scene in hell, and he decided not to return to the ghost place again after he survived. The scenes of hell are rarely disclosed in the film, and the people who suffer in hell (below the streets of the end of the world that burned the eternal flame) are just passing by. But the pain of Constantine in hell is unforgettable. Because in the “World Book” accounted for, one second in the human world is close to the eternal hell, and in the two minutes of the world, the things that Constantine saw in hell, the suffering he experienced, is enough to make one the most brave. People have fear
So Constantine, who survived, was determined to do things for God in exchange for his forgiveness, and he embarked on the journey of exorcism and demon
Although Constantine constantly removes the hybrid demon for God’s violations, he does not believe in God. As Gabriel said, everything he does is selfish, because he does not have real Faith, just wanting to escape from the fate of hell, has not been able to win the favor of God. Constantine fought bravely again and again, and hoped to identify with Gabriel again and again, but in the end he was frustrated by Gabriel’s ridicule and sarcasm, and even added indignation to the unfairness of life. In the church, he threw the Bible on the ground and said: You (angels and demons) are the problem. You don’t understand humans at all, but you have developed this kind of git rules to decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell…. However, the rules are the rules. Constantine only reluctantly went to the battlefield of maintaining world balance, killing one demon one after another in vain, hoping that one day God will be touched
In addition, because he has been smoking all the year round, he has reached the end of lung cancer, so his time is not much, he must find a way to complete self-salvation before the end of life, otherwise, his soul will always belong to hell
In fact, the easiest way to go to heaven is by the side, but he only opens when the film ends
He has a mantra, so self-reported when facing the devil: THIS IS CONSTANTINE, JOHN CONSTANTINE, ASSHOLE. – Is it a bit familiar? ?
The origin of the name – Constantine’s name comes from the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in the fourth century AD. He was a more ancient worshipper of the Sun, but he discovered the great power of Christianity in ruling the empire, and then proceeded to modify the Bible and all Christian books, spreading the teachings that he ordered to modify throughout the Roman people, so that they followed Old-age Christians became pagans. Christianity was declared a state religion in 313 AD. It is said that through his hand, the quality of Jesus Christ as a mortal is weakened and replaced with exaggerated divinity, while the miracles and teachings of many other religions are subtly integrated into the Bible. Constantine the Great committed his life to the promotion of improved Christianity, but he himself was baptized until he died
2, Chas (CHAZ)
The cute little follower is also a loyal admirer of Constantine. But Constantine only used him as a driver and servant, and never let him intervene in the exorcism mission. The eager Chase had to learn self-learning about exorcism in his spare time, eager to become the successor of Constantine. It turns out that the knowledge that Chas learned helped Constantine to stop the birth of the devil’s son. However, when he was proud to learn the mantra of his idol “this is Kramer, Chaz Kramer, asshole.”, he was counted by Gabriel
At the end of the subtitles at the end of the film, Constantine came to Chas’s tomb and placed his lighter on the tombstone. As he turned and left, a pair of wings opened behind him and he looked back. To Chas has become an angel, they smiled and smiled, and Chas flew into the night sky
3, HENNESSEY
A superfather with super powers is a close comrade of Constantine. His characteristic is that the wine does not leave, not because he was born to drink alcohol, but he can feel all the information in the world, (in the play, he can listen to the voice of the ether. Ether – classical philosophy believes that flooding The material of the entire universe is the carrier of all energy). This information made him nervous and had to use alcohol to numb all his consciousness in order to fall asleep normally. Under Constantine’s persuasion, he took off the amulet used to defend himself, stopped drinking, and used super power to find the source of the recent mysterious phenomenon, and then died under the magic of Gabriel’s servant BALTHAZAR
4, Biman (BEEMAN).
A character similar to Mr. Q in the 007 series, responsible for collecting tools, weapons, and some interesting little things for Konstantin. Also responsible for related intelligence work. Among his all-encompassing collections, including the Bible from Hell, in this Bible, the mantra of Satan’s son, Manmon, turns man into a second hell. When I found this information, I was killed by BALTHAZAR
5, PAPA MIDNITE
A cool wizard and businessman in the film, open a bar that is only open to hybrids and superpowers. MIDNITE is supported by hybrid angels and hybrid demons with a neutral position and a principle of pursuing profits. Under the premise of maintaining a balance in the world, we will not participate in the competition between hell and heaven. When the world of the world was threatened by the devil, he turned to help Constantine. In the original script, he was eventually killed by Gabriel instead of Chas, but in the film he did not participate in the final battle, but only for the guardian prayers of Constantine and Chas. Regarding his true strength, there may be explanations in the sequel
The origin of the name – MIDNITE, midnight. Similar to the word NOON, MIDNITE refers to the moment of noon zero, not the ambiguous words like MORNING and AFTERNOON. Here is a suggestion that he maintains an unbiased posture in the middle of the night (evil) and day (justice), and does not interfere with any grievance between God and Satan unless “balance” is broken. From his incomparably important position, he should be a person who plays a pivotal role in this extraordinary gamble. There are not many people with this ability. They should be able to find their originals in the relevant myths. Although I have a bold conjecture, there is still not enough evidence, so I will let go of it for the time being
1 In the church, on the wall behind Gabriel, painted the scene of Jesus being stabbed to death by Langinus
2, BEEMAN lives in the bowling alley downstairs in the Constantine residence
3, The Dark Bible is stolen from Constantine’s church. There is a description in the script, but the movie is abridged
4, The crew made a real-life model for Isabel’s jump
5, In the original movie, Constantine had a relationship with his girlfriend, ELLIE, who was a hybrid demon. After being deleted. Director Francis wanted Constantine to remain single before meeting Angela
6, The props of the Destiny Spear is the same one used in Hell Boy
7. The cigarettes that Constantine smoked are made in China. The name is “Yellow River”, and you can pay attention to the words on the cigarette box (what scene has been forgotten). Of course this is a brand that was created
8. After the filming, the holy shotgun was bought by Keanu Reeves and given to the director Francis Lawrence as a gift
9, The girl with the title is Papatayin natin sila!, Filipino, meaning: We\*ll kill them all!
10, The spell that Constantine and Chas said when Angela was possessed by Mang is Amar natash bow basar: From the flesh I command thee! I am idling away from this
11. In Chas’s taxi, a book “SATANISM AND TITCHCRAFT” is placed in the windshield, and Satan teaches the craftsmanship of the dwarfs. A book title that is neither categorical. (However, it may be that I am wrong?).
12, Gabriel is played by a woman who is a fan of comics. But the director said that the gender of Gabriel was not clearly described in the comics. The gender dispute about this famous angel has never ended
13. The original script of this film was written by Kevin Brodbin, but somehow did not appear on many Chinese websites, but was replaced by the author of the original comics. I am here to sing
14, Satan’s actor Peter Stormare appeared in the following famous films, no wonder it looks familiar, and Satan played so vivid and interesting: minority reports, love chocolate, lost world, end of the world, million Dollar hotel, wind language, 8MM, etc
Forman also collected some other things for Kang Shu. These include: It is said that it is the debris of the clothes worn by Moses when he climbed Mount Shiyan, the stones that lead to Damascus, and the dust on the Dead Sea Scroll. In addition to the rag that was used in the night when the street drove the demons, the other two strange things did not indicate where to go. But in the game of the same name, they were used as the ammunition of another shot of Constantine’s “Witch’s Curse” (WITCH ‘SCURSE), which has a strong lethal effect on the demon of hell
Finally, hidden paragraphs.
It seems that Hollywood has become very popular in recent years. After the end of the film, there is still a story (the earliest seems to be “X-Men 3”), which makes me habitually wait for the end of the subtitles. I am disappointed… by Gabriel
