Blade 4K 1998

What is Blade? At first glance, this is just an ordinary "popcorn" blockbuster about vampires and nothing else, but if you look closely, the Blade trilogy is, at least, just a promoted franchise, or rather even a whole saga about the confrontation of a loner with vampires in the modern metropolis.

The first part was shot by an excellent director Stephen Norrington. He, as a pioneer, managed the main thing - to turn the special effects attraction with a stupid and direct plot into an amazing and captivated spectacle, thanks to the fashionable clip direction at that time (constant change of frames, sharp editing), competent selection of actors and surprisingly strong script, which harmoniously combined both bloody action and drama.

All of the above are just the main ingredients of a good Hollywood action movie, but now we are talking about the most distinctive movie in the last few years.

Of course, the insane pulsating drive that reigns in the film is very important, but what really can't be denied to Blade is the atmosphere.

And in truth, Norrington created a glamorous enchanting spectacle in which vampires smoked expensive menthol cigarettes, wore no tie or black tight dresses, used sunblock and went to fashionable clubs, drenched in human blood from the ceiling.

And in this bloody feast accompanied by a vigorous underground hip-hop our main character, "Walking in the Day," was wielding mercilessly on bloodsuckers from his "cannon", at the same time pushing capsules with liquid garlic down his throat - a stylish and glamorous sight.
