Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 388: Weightlessness

Compared to fans, pretty people, and film critics who want to comment on nothing, Diana's attitude towards watching movies is undoubtedly very correct.

For her, good-looking movies are the only criterion for evaluating good movies.

Therefore, when seeing Constantine’s exorcism process, the long-legged policewoman found it interesting——

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

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

——From this point of view, Diana is really a bit 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 in the screening room, Joseph Gordon-Levitt touched his face depressedly.

He always felt that he was quite a handsome boy!

How come you got to play a funny role in "Hell Detective"?

What's even more strange is that there aren't many funny elements in his lines. Why did the audience laugh as soon as he appeared?

Is it really because of the styling problem, as the director said before during filming?

But I don’t see anything strange about it!

Poor Joseph was puzzled.

——"Hellfinder" is 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——

"Although I always find it strange, if everyone laughs when they see my character, it means they like me, right?"

Joseph thought to himself,

"However, I still hope to play some more important roles! Especially if I can be as handsome as Keanu, that would be even better!"

And when he saw the scene where Constantine used a mirror to bring out the demon possessing the girl, Joseph's envy became even greater——

"This kind of scene where you turn around and you are in the mirror with the devil, and then after defeating the devil with one punch, you use the force to fall back to reality. It is really full of imagination and expressiveness."

Although Joseph was on site when this scene was filmed, he never expected that this scene would perform so well after the film was completed.

Even if you don’t talk about Joseph’s own feelings, just listen to the exclamations of the audience and you will know how effective this scene is——

After luring the devil into the mirror, when Constantine turns around, the mirror's transition is very delicate;

And after he arrived in the mirror world, he felt like he was missing when facing the devil. But when he knocked down the demon with one punch and used the force to exit the mirror world in reverse, the direction of gravity reversed in an instant.

The feeling of weightlessness brought about by this reversal is great.

"This action scene is full of imagination!"

Joseph liked this scene very much, especially the consistent feeling during the fight, which was his favorite.

"If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely do a weightless fighting scene. It looks really enjoyable!"

The young actor was determined.

***********

Like Joseph, Kenneth Turan loved the fight sequence.

This film critic who prefers commercial movies even feels that Charlotte’s level of shooting action scenes is improving——

You know, in the past, including "Sleepy Hollow", which had a lot of action scenes, there were very few action shots full of imagination and expressiveness.

"Charlotte Booth's previous action shots tended to be more impactful, but this time they are full of imagination!"

Kenneth Turan admired in his heart.

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

In his opinion, whether the expression of the plot is complete?

That's the most important thing.

Therefore, after seeing the end of the exorcism, when Constantine realized what the other party was looking for roughly from the mouth of the devil, Mr. Film Critic nodded.

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

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

"Especially, while designing exciting action shots, we also don't forget the main story line. This kind of awareness is rare among commercial film directors!"

Thinking of directors who shoot scenes that include only explosions and hand-to-hand combat, and don't care whether the story logic is reasonable or whether the audience can understand it, Kenneth Turan feels that directors like Charlotte who pay attention to the plot are the right ones.

On the other hand, as a viewer, he couldn't help but wonder, what is the devil looking for?

"Is it the Spear of Longinus?"

After seeing a mural in the home of a girl possessed by a demon, combined with the fact that the girl was of German origin and the family seemed to have some connection with the Nazis, Kenneth Turan suddenly came up with this speculation.

Then, the next moment, he smiled——

*******

Charlotte did not lay out the plot according to the format of the original Hellraiser. He felt that the opening scene would be a bit confusing for the audience.

Therefore, when he was editing, he first had Constantine, played by Keanu Reeves, perform an exorcism.

Then, through some vague hints during the exorcism, the scene of Longinus's gun was introduced——

Somewhere in Mexico, where the landscape felt a bit like a hellish wasteland, two scavengers found a strange gun head.

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

Different from the original "Hell Detective", the Mexican scavenger responsible for carrying, or transporting, the newly discovered Gun of Longinus is not a somewhat wretched middle-aged man, but a man wearing a red sportswear. little boy.

After all, compared to a middle-aged man, a child playing the role of a devil brings a stronger contrast.

——Especially later on, when the demon Mammon and the policewoman Angela played by Jodie Foster are in the same scene, it will create a strange and terrifying beauty.

This kind of beauty cannot be brought about by a greasy middle-aged man.

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

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

He just relied on some clues revealed during Constantine's exorcism and realized that the Spear of Longinus had been discovered by the devil.

"It seems that the demon killed by Constantine at the beginning was not simply used to make the protagonist look cool!"

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

Will such a hidden amount of information be missed by viewers who do not have enough knowledge or are not careful enough to understand the plot?

However, listening to the whispers from the audience around him, Mr. Film Critic felt that his worries were unfounded.

Ordinary viewers may not understand the hints related to the Gun of Longinus, but director Charlotte's skillful narrative method and lens language are enough for them to understand the outline of the plot——

The demons defeated by Constantine were looking for something, and the Mexican plot that followed told them that the demons found what they were looking for.

that's enough!

The audience can use this to watch the movie without hindrance. As for the hidden details, the audience may suddenly realize after watching it and feel that they have missed something——

Then they can do a second brush!
