& lt& lt The Second Coming of Christ >> Who has review consciousness! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The baby messiah is so fragile that he has no resistance. So birth does not necessarily represent redemption, and even the starting point of the road to redemption is not counted. -Inscription: The flood of Christian culture in the West has given birth to similar values in the West, and faith and redemption are extremely sacred in their eyes. This kind of values also makes the description and rendering of Christian culture in western movies come one after another, and there are a lot of pen and ink. Among them, there are both supporters and subversives. Often when a movie comes out, it will be divided into two opposing factions, tit for tat. The second arrival of Christ also came under the banner of religious films. The stunt in the early stage is really attractive, but the film itself is not as good as the publicity. Basically, just watching trailers and posters is enough. The story of the film basically follows the big framework of eschatological judgment in the Bible, but it is moved to modern times in time, and some minor changes have been made in the plot to enhance the dramatic effect. Besides, it's already a bad "pseudo-religious film". The reason why it is not even a bad religious film is because the second arrival is just a cover for religious films, borrowing a shell of Jesus Christ and wearing a hat of doomsday judgment. Judging from its overall style and plot, it seems to be a mixed film-the theme of religious films, the setting of western films, the routine of zombie films, and a little taste of science fiction films. The second coming of Christ tries to express two main lines. One is the conflict between angels as judges and God after the coming of the doomsday judgment. The other is the fearless resistance of human beings to the trial. These two main lines revolve around the core theme of "Savior". In the film, the savior spends most of his time hiding in his mother's womb, but in the end, he endured a rather fierce battle in his infancy. From this perspective, the two main lines have deviated from the core of the "savior". As for angels, Michael (Michael is an archangel in mythology) advocates protecting mankind. In Christian paintings and sculptures, Michael often appears as a teenager with long blond hair, fighting with the Red Cross or the Red Cross sword, or standing on a dragon. The dragon here is Satan. ) violated the will of judgment ordered by God, came to the earth privately, and cut off his wings in order to protect the new hope of human civilization-Messiah. The shaping of this image itself failed and became another "terminator". From the appearance of falling from the sky to the extremely cold appearance to the mission of protecting the Messiah, it is the terminator's style. In terms of human nature, because there are many unnecessary feelings in the film, a lot of boring dialogues are used to fill the shortcomings of the thin plot, which makes the rhythm of the whole film seriously unbalanced. Swing between fierce action and unnecessary grandstanding, flinch and lose evidence. If this theme is made into a blockbuster, it may be explosive enough. However, such a pseudo-religious film is not a big production, and it will inevitably turn to another road without losing the big scene. The second arrival is infinitely close to the direction of westerns and zombie movies. In terms of scenery, in the western desert, a small restaurant similar to "Longmen Inn" lives alone, and the four dimensions are a vast Gobi desert. Judging from the plot, the trial army led by the angel is none other than a zombie with fangs and scarlet eyes, belonging to the brainless and mentally retarded group. These two parts directly determine the ambiguous type characteristics of this film. Coupled with the religious themes borrowed before, the disadvantages of mashup are obvious. If defined by grammatical errors, the biggest defect of this film is "mixed genre". Today, when the theme of Savior and Doomsday is about to run out, The Second Coming has completely lost its boastful advantage in material selection, not to mention that there is nothing new to copy. It seems that this cold film will come to an end in such a cold schedule. It is not enough for Jesus to come once. Do you want to come again? ! It's like the battle of original sin in Diablo. Heaven and hell are at war on earth! ! Humans can't just watch the excitement, but also inherit the glorious tradition of muddling along and become cannon fodder again. What's the big deal? If you don't crash and burn, take out the 1800 nuclear warheads and use them. Let's see if it's the angel's ability to use cold weapons, or the second arrival: a collage of movies with religious themes, because it involves religious issues. Mel gibson's passion of the christ is an example. In the west, for religious believers, the "doomsday judgment" is like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and many people believe and fear it. Therefore, Doomsday Judgment often appears in various forms and appearances in movies, while The Second Coming is a genre combination under the framework of Doomsday Judgment, although the sparrow is small. Compared with the English title, the Chinese translation of this film is more appropriate. In western religions, the god incarnated as a human being is called "Christ", that is, the savior, so the last baby born in the film means that the savior has come to the world again and solved the disaster. Personally, it is more important to grasp this point, because it is probably a foundation to make people interested in this film, otherwise it is easy to get tired of the genre style and simple story context of the film. In religious stories, in order to punish human sins, God drowned the world, leaving only the species on Noah's Ark, leaving the hope for human beings and the world to thrive. This is the first time that God has punished mankind. Many people think that because of human greed and evil, God will punish human beings for the second time, which is the "doomsday judgment". When this second punishment will happen, there have been different opinions and no one can agree. This is a lot. " The little-known director Scott Stewart is also quite frank. He said "Resurrection" is not his favorite movie, but he must make it, because it will test a director's overall control ability. Obviously, the director shot this film with the purpose of learning and exercising to a great extent, so when the film was presented to us, there were many familiar scenes and bridges. This is definitely not a religious film in a simple sense. In this film, one action after another has been taken. Michael, the archangel guarding mankind, cut off his wings to protect the last hope of mankind and became a mortal. The setting of this role follows the routine of Lonely Hero used in Hollywood, a bit like Schwarzenegger in Terminator, cold, superior in force and using modern weapons with powerful firepower. His appearance, his subsequent cooperation with the "Devil Corps" and his duel with another angel Gabriel made the film look more like a purebred action movie. Most of the scenes in The Second Coming are set in the desert, and a small service station beside the expressway highlights the characteristics of the western expressway. Everyone is trapped in the service station, facing the siege and attack of a demon army that looks like a zombie. This demon army is controlled by the angel Gabriel who appears as a punisher. When the story reaches this stage, the movie is like a zombie movie or a monster movie. In the desert, in a lonely shop, a leading brother (Michael) leads a group of people who are at a loss. In the face of the monster's siege, some are cowardly and selfish, while others sacrifice their lives for justice. All the scenes and plots have been interpreted countless times in previous movies, so they don't look new. The story is simple, even boring. The only interesting thing is the alienation and interpretation of religious stories. In Noah's Ark, God used water to punish mankind. So in what way will he punish mankind in the coming doomsday judgment? Many people believe that it is fire, and there is such a saying in religion, so the evil "devil old woman" in the film said the line "Fire will kill everyone". People often say that when God closes all the doors, he will leave you a window. In the story of Noah's Ark, God punished all mankind with floods, but saved some kind humans and other species in the form of Noah's Ark. The second coming of Christ is the interpretation of the whole story under this religious theory. The angel Gabriel exercised God's command to punish mankind, while Michael was the door that God "deliberately" reserved for mankind. In religious stories, Gabriel was actually divided with God and exiled to heaven. In this film, it is Michael who has a "disagreement" with God. At the end of the film, Gabriel actually deviated from God's will, but Michael actually obeyed God's will, which is consistent with the original religious story. The main purpose of the film is to show that the real purpose of God is not to punish human beings, but to make human beings reflect on themselves, redeem themselves, abandon injustice and follow good deeds in the process of punishment. Although there is a scene in the film where the demons retreat after the baby is born, this savior is only symbolic to some extent. The real savior is actually human itself, so the kindness and righteousness in Jeep and the dead Bob, Audrey, Kyle, Percy and others are the spirit that many religions have been preaching and the spirit embodied in this film. This spirit is also the spirit that God who carries out the "doomsday judgment" wants to look for from human beings. When this valuable thing is discovered, mankind will be saved. Finally, Michael said to Gabriel, "You just obey God's will, and I know what he needs." He highlighted the theme of the film. I believe that for those who like religious stories, this film can also chew out some flavor in strong commercial elements such as action, fantasy and horror, while for those who are not interested in religious stories, this film is a pile-up and collage of commercial films, just using the coat of religious stories.
