Constantine a.k.a. Keanu Reeves *smugs smugs*

I went to see Constantine the day before yesterday. I planned AND PREFER to see it during Chinese New Year in my hometown, but i just do not have the time. Why do i say 'prefer'? I think you can ask just anybody in Malacca. I'll list down ALL of it when i have the time, ok.

The movie was cool. Though i've heard some of my hsemates said that they don't understand the story, thus boring. But to me, it's still, cool. Ya know.. Keanu Reeves. He's one of my favourite actor of all time. I fell-in-love with Keanu Reeves when he starred in 'Speed' (the bus chasing movie); then the 'Matrix' trilogy; and now 'Constantine'. By the way, he look damn thin in 'The Little Buddha'. Heard that he had to be on a strict diet to star in that movie, just to make him become so-damn-thin untill you can see his rib bones. Anyway, that is not the main point. The main point is what is Constantine about. Basically, it's about this guy, John Constantine, who's an exorcist, tried to buy his way into heaven by helping people to perform exorcisms. He doesn't want to go to hell because he had sent alot alot of satans, devils, etc. into hell. I mean, let's put ourselves in his shoes, you wouldn't want to be stuck in a prison where most of the prisoners there were sent by you. That's exactly how he feels and the reason he doesn't want to go to hell. But Lucifer is waiting excitedly for his forecoming. The plot is about Mammon, son of Lucifer, wants to come to our world using the exact same way as how Jesus had come, with the help of a halfbreed angel called Gabriel. These devils made used of a pair of twins with high psychic powers, Isabelle & Angela. Isabelle was influenced by the devils to commit suicide and Angela is determined to prove it right. So there she goes in search for a person named Constantine. And the adventure started. In the end, they found out that Mammon planned to come to our world by using Angela to give birth to him, just like the way Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus. Constantine managed to stop him by only a few second, by sacrificing himself. Since he had sacrificed himself, he was accepted into heaven, but Lucifer still wants him in hell. After the struggles, Constantine was to remain on earth where we need him most, while he gives himself another chance to realize the plans that God has made for him. Actually this story will be more interesting if you know a thing or two on the bible.

A few funny parts were in the movie, especially when the audience thought that he was going to kiss Angela. Twice. The director was good in giving the viewers a little of their own imagination & suspence. I can't keep on the story going anymore. Blurred vision adee.. but here are some of the wallpapers & pics to share with you guys. =)




And here are some wallpapers that i got from their official website. Just right click on your selected picture & choose 'set as desktop background'. Voila~! There's Constantine on your desktop.
