Because of the super game IP opening, and the "Fashark" Michael Fassbender and "Ma Liang" Marion Cotillard co-star, the heated discussion caused by "Assassin's Creed" is not surprising at all. What is rare is that the creative team led by Australian director Justin Kuzel not only retains the spirit of the game and does not stick to the inherent content of the game, but designs an original new story. In addition to the sensory stimulation brought by the action scenes, the film also has a strong ideological depth and a strong humanistic color, which uses the choices and sacrifices made by the characters when facing contradictions to show humanity.

The video combines conspiracy, genetic genes and secret societies. The main axis of the story is the confrontation between two hostile organizations. The Assassin Brothers and the Knights Templar have fought for the Apple of Eden that can control the human will. The main plot is that the assassin descendant Carl Lynch was placed under house arrest in a "prison" built by descendants of the Templar. He was forced to travel back to Spain in 1492 through genetic technology, experience the memory of his ancestor Aguilar protecting the Apple of Eden, and finally awaken him to fight for the future of mankind. The film has a distinct time travel color. But the traveling through Karl is not a "time and space journey" in the traditional physical sense, but a "Amnis" machine with a robotic arm enters the memory of his ancestors. The phantom encountered by his ancestor Aguilar is projected into a three-dimensional image by this virtual reality machine. So we see Karl's figure shuttle through the ancient and modern lines. This creativity that links the fictional world with the foundation of reality gives the viewer a sense of immersion.

At today, when CG technology is popular, there are very few action movies that still insist on real-life shooting, and this is true for "Assassin's Letter". The battle scenes in the film are extremely cool. Carl traveled back to the ancient Spanish Arm-Pin-Sleeve Arrow Sword, and fought in close combat and strangle, which looked really satisfying. Carl and the female assassin Maria escaped the stolen and intercepted the soldiers of the Knights Templars. The two went through the streets and alleys, trekking the halls and treading rooms, and flying over the eaves and walls. Because of the addition of parkour elements, it was a very ancient version of "Fast and Furious". Nakar stood on the top of the church and leaped down the "Leap of Faith" looks amazing. Such a solid free fall at high altitude can simply shock your chin with the visual effect.

From another perspective, the film is like a story of a man in a modern society looking for himself and cognizing himself. The male protagonist Carl is a person with a large psychological shadow. He witnessed his mother being killed by his father when he was young, committed murder when he became an adult, and was selected by Sophia to participate in the experiment to free human beings from violent impulses and suffered all kinds of suffering. However, in the continuous understanding of the memories of his ancestors, he completely understood who he was, what his mission was, and understood the significance of the existence of the Assassin Brothers, which is to ensure that human freedom is not violated. And he also used his brave and fearless actions to destroy Allen's insidious plots. The handsome Martial Shark is both literary and martial, which well interprets Carl's unruly and shows the changes in the character's mental journey. As a descendant of the Knights TemplarThe spokesperson of Allen and his daughter have different purposes. Daughter Sophia is a symbol of reconciliation, committed to finding the source of violence through scientific experiments and researching ways to control violence. Dad Allen is a completely evil symbol and tries to get the Apple of Eden to control human consciousness and from then on to reach the peak of his life. Ma Liang expressed Sophia's complex mentality in facing her father and her contradictory mood during the experiment in a slight way. Jeremy Irons, a veteran British actor, portrays Allen's hypocritical and ambitious words to the eye.

The Knights Templar and the Assassin Brothers in the film have completely different ideas. The former advocates order and is obsessed with power controlling everything. The latter believes in freedom and advocates the pursuit of freedom above everything else. These two illusory but simple and easy-to-understand concepts and beliefs conflict with each other, and become increasingly fierce as the plot progresses. The competition between these two organizations is not only a confrontation between power and freedom, but also a confrontation between the light and dark sides of man. The so-called Assassin's Creed actually refers to the defense of the freedom of human consciousness. Whether it is the ancient 1492 Aguilar and Maria, or the real 2016 prison struggle to imprison "patients", all the assassins sacrificed their lives for their persistent beliefs, how could the audience not be moved?

After the movie, the lines full of philosophical thinking are like crying and recalling in our ears, "When the secular people blindly pursue the truth, remember that everything is empty; when the secular people are bound by morality and law, remember that everything is allowed. We work hard in the darkness and serve the light." This movie that can bring people the double shock of senses and souls, even the most picky loyal fans of the game will like it.
