Hellboy

Plot introduction

1944, World War II is coming to an end, and Nazi remnants try to save themselves from extinction by using the power of dark magic. However, they failed to achieve their goal. A small group of allies rushed to the place where the secret ceremony was held. Although they dispersed the sorcerer, the son of Satan, Hellboy (Ron Perlman), was summoned to this world by dark magic. However, unlike people's imagination, Hellboy is not on the evil side. He joined the Allied Forces, was adopted by Professor Bloom (john hurt), and completed various difficult tasks for the US government. King Kong and his fisherman friend Abel (doug jones) crush all forces that dare to obstruct justice with their invincible bodies.

However, as Hellboy grew up, he began to show his inner cruelty. On a mission, Hellboy met the evil Nazi wizard who had summoned him. Can the dark nature of hell overcome the influence of goodness? Hellboy must choose between good and evil. ...

The story background of Hellboy is set in World War II, and the Nazis tried to summon Satan's son into their own camp by magic to save their doomed fate. Just as they summoned the baby full of evil forces, the allies came to break up the ceremony. However, once summoned, the hellboy can only stay on earth. So the kind Professor Bloom (john hurt) adopted this strange and boring child. He and his two friends, Abel (doug jones), a clever fisherman, and Liz (selma blair), a beautiful girl who will breathe fire, jointly serve the interests of the American government and allies under the guidance of the professor, and complete the combat mission again and again. With his great super power, he can always easily crush every Nazi provocation against justice. However, as he grew up, the evil nature from Satan in his body seemed to recover day by day, and the ferocious, cruel, bloodthirsty and barbaric monster in his heart became stronger and stronger. Inevitably, he fell into contradiction. On the one hand, the nature in his bones is pounding his skin, and he is ready to act. On the other hand, he is a professor like a reborn parent, who loves Liz and fights with him. He is destined to choose between good and evil. As a result of fate, when he was on a mission in BPRD, he met Rasputin, a monk who called him to earth that year. Will he obey a witchcraft-like instigation and manipulation, and completely expose his own nature, or will he overcome his inner evil through hard struggle and convert to righteousness forever? "Yes or no", we must make a choice and establish our own identity, which can already be interpreted as self-identity in the philosophical sense.

Comments: Appreciate the violent pleasure of monsters.

To tell the truth, when we saw the ferocious appearance of the "Hellscream", it really made us feel a little scared. Look at the previous comic book heroes, from Superman, Batman, Spider-Man to Hulk, which one is not cool and handsome? Unexpectedly, now there is a "Cerberus" running out, which looks like a red brick (vertical), which one is more like a monster.

Another selling point of "Hellcat" is that it is his appearance that makes his cruel fate even more touching-he is kind at heart, but he is made to kill people and looks ugly. Personally, however, I think it's ok to put this profound connotation in comics and let the words and pictures be expressed page by page, but it's a bit out of place to express it in an entertainment movie, just like Ang Lee's Hulk.

Fortunately, this film, which combines adventure, action and detective, is destined to give people a violent pleasure. A large number of monsters gushed out in the film, which also made fans who like monsters crazy. Interestingly, in addition to the debate between good and evil, the film also made a lot of efforts in the background, such as gloomy castles and gloomy long streets. Don't underestimate these factors in monster movies. You know, last year's "League of Special Gentlemen" was his silence that made us feel less bored.

Behind the scenes production

[Edit this paragraph]

As a film adapted from a comic book, the original work cannot be ignored. The cartoonist Mike Mignola is the creator of Hellboy, and Hellboy is also famous for his cartoons. When writing Hellboy, he tried to tell some stories from different angles that others had never described before. Mexican director gilmour Di Tello put it on the screen. Guilmault is a standard fan. He was attracted by Hellboy when he was filming Mutant DNA, and he had the idea of shooting. Columbia Company finally built a huge location in a small town near Prague through the shooting plan. In order to vividly restore the image of Baron in comics, actor Ron Pullman not only endured at least four hours of heavy makeup every day, but also came up with many ideas, such as a pillar-like stone arm, such as a huge figure, all of which well outlined the Baron's cruel and destructive temperament and rendered an uncontrollable and frightening anxiety. The image of Hellboy is inseparable from the makeup artist Rick Baker. He once collaborated with Ang Lee in The Hulk, and he gave the baron a fiery complexion, a long and thick tail and a strange broken horn on his forehead. Although some people may think that this image is too rough, and it is a patchwork, playful impression, and has no amazing imagination, the result is as big as the image of the baron. However, considering that the original image has been recognized by readers, that the film deliberately avoids advanced and fashionable CGI methods, and that the overall unity of film style and character temperament is considered, it is obviously unfair to criticize it simply by rudeness. Because "Hellboy" is like this, seemingly simple, but in fact it is a very unique and exciting viewing experience.

Comics. See also Comics.

Since 2003, the trend of comic adaptation has been out of control. Before that, except for Superman, an old-timer in underwear, only one Batman dared not show his true colors. This masked guy comes out every few years to show off his great career, but those fancy equipment and weapons can't hide Batman's own ability defects, and the audience just watches the excitement. Comics or comics, movies or movies.

However, since the mutant group came to the big screen under the banner of earning copyright for itself, more and more comic characters have come out of the book. First, Spider-Man hangs on the spider web of comics and jumps from one city to another; Then there appeared a blind lawyer, Superman, who couldn't sleep well at night and wandered around the building like a sleepwalker. Hulk was unwilling to be lonely, wearing purple shorts and angry with tanks and planes. I only remember the first half of the sentence: red with green ... and then I forgot what it was. In short, it is a feeling of the 1960s. Hollywood just doesn't believe this evil. There is a big green one in front, so I have to get a big red one. Thus, the Hellboy with horns on his head became the object of their restoration.

Speaking of Hell Boy, it is much more famous than Brave, which once won the box office championship with Weng Ruidi and Xiao Ke. As mike mignola's famous work, The Original Comic Book has Gao Fancha's unique painting method, and is called a masterpiece in the history of modern comics with its unique color matching, beautiful composition and the author's grasp of the story atmosphere. Mignole endows Hell Boy with unique mysterious and dark characteristics, and is also the first anti-hero cartoon character to be put on the screen so far (some people may mention that Simon, the reborn, is an anti-hero image. But Simon before regeneration was a human being, and his humanistic elements doomed his heroic image.

Generally speaking, we think that people from hell are heinous villains, but the Hell Boy, as the son of Satan, completely subverts this view. His power was used to save the world, even though he was a devil from hell. The power of imagination is infinite, just as mike mignola once said, "A few days ago, I drew a bunch of messy things in my notebook, and today it will be made into a movie. Things in the world are incredible. "

About the film

Guillermo Ditlow, the director, has been a comic book fan since he was a child, but it is a recent thing to read the comics of Hell Boy. He was attracted by this story, so he came up with the idea of making this film. As the father of two children, Professor Bloom, who adopted a little boy, played by Dietro is particularly outstanding. The professor never regards Hell Boy as a monster from another world, but as his own child. Although Hell Boy comes from a dark hell without the concept of kindness, he has the same kind human nature adopted by kind people. If you don't look at his ferocious appearance, he is an ordinary person, which is an excellent subject.

When Dandel Toro first discussed the film material with producers lawrence gordon and Lloyd Levin, he showed great enthusiasm. "We not only admire his talent as a filmmaker," Gordon said, "but also deeply moved by his understanding and enthusiasm for comics."

Mike mignola immediately got in touch with del toro. He said, "From the beginning, I thought he was the only one who directed this film. Guilmault incorporated his own characteristics into the film. He likes comics and is very serious. He regarded the film adapted from comics as a regular film type. " In the process of script adaptation, Mignolle gave great support. Instead of restraining Deltoro's creation, he encouraged him to make drastic adaptation and turn his own works into Deltoro's version. Thus, an interesting "hybrid" came into being. Abel, for example, is obviously different from the cartoon. Guilmault endowed him with more personality and changed his appearance, but his essence is no different from the characters written by Mignol.

"I've always wanted to make a monster movie," del toro said. "There are strange characters and fantastic monsters and settings in this work, but in order to connect the story with the audience, I have to find two emotional clues that run through it. One is the father-son story of Professor Bloom and Hellboy. Although Professor Bloom saved and raised Hellboy and loved his adopted son deeply, he was also very afraid of Hellboy's nature. The other is Hellboy's infatuation with Liz, which is the story of beauty and the beast. In this story, it is more like a story of beasts and beasts. "

From the beginning, Mignolle and del toro were highly consistent, and both of them first thought of Ron Perlman as a candidate to play Hellboy. Pullman has the characteristics required by the role, and his unique voice from expression and behavior is perfect. Miniole recalled: "When I first met del toro, I asked him who should play Hellboy, and we all said it was Ron Perlman."

As early as when del toro started writing a script, he got in touch with Ron Perlman and said that he was writing a film for Pullman. Pullman is naturally excited. He likes the cartoon character Hellboy very much. In order to play this strong role well, Pullman has prepared 1 year, training 5 or 6 days a week.

Stephen Scott, who is in charge of film production and design, not only completely follows the style of Mignol comics, but also draws lessons from the Gothic elements in Prague, where the film was filmed, so that the set of the film complements the real environment, the director's intention and the actor's performance. Scott said: "Prague is full of amazing buildings, which can't help but affect your design, especially in such a movie."

Scott's most interesting challenge is to build new york's subway system in Prague's studio. In the preparation stage, Scott spent a lot of time running around different subway stations in new york. He recalled: "People around me must think I am crazy, because I kept taking pictures on the crowded platform and measuring the size of billboards and the diameter of railings." Scott also found a Czech who likes graffiti in the new york subway, and took him back to the crew to finish the graffiti on the subway set. Finally, the full-scale new york subway in the studio took more than two months to complete.

When it comes to such sci-fi movies, you can't forget the makeup artist of the actors. The familiar name Rick Baker once again appeared in the credits. The makeup technique in Hulk is simply despicable to many people. That fake green muscle is almost the same as Andy's big one. This time, Hellboy is another such role, but fortunately, he is not used to seeing people naked like the green monster and the big guy. How can I say that he is also fallen angels, the son of Satan? His pedigree is still noble. So except for the two suspected demon horns on the head, everything else is acceptable. Ron Perlman, who plays Hellboy, needs 4 hours every day, so he has to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning. First, he must put on a costume made of four-part foam rubber, and then put on contact lenses. The whole step is completed, and only the exposed eyelids are Pullman's own.

Wonderful tidbits

Making this film was the dream of director Guillermo del toro for many years, but he couldn't guarantee the shooting budget at that time, and no producer was willing to take it. After the success of Blade 2 in 2002, del toro was invited to continue directing Blade 3 or Hellboy. Although he had hoped to take over at the same time, he finally chose this movie.

In order to convince the producer of Ron Perlman's strength, del toro showed the producer a clip of Pullman in Blade 2.

When del toro first negotiated with the producers, several producers suggested changing the role setting of Hellboy. Some people want Hellboy to be human, but he will change when he is angry; Suggesting that the Hellboy is an ordinary person from hell. Deltoro rejected these ideas.

The creative staff try to avoid making the film too bloody in case it is rated as an R-rated film. In some scenarios, blood substitutes are considered. When filming the scene of Hellboy fighting a monster in the subway, Ron Perlman suggested that Hellboy grab a chewing gum vending machine and hit it on the monster's head instead of the effect of chewing gum flying out. Finally, the crew decided to let Hellboy rip off a public telephone and hit the monster on the head, and the flying coins replaced the spattered blood.
