I Don't Need More Constantine, I Need More Movies Like Constantine
Briefly

The film Constantine, directed by Francis Lawrence, is noted for its distinctive green color-grading that creates a unique, gothic atmosphere, enhancing the themes and the setting. Celebrated for its minute details, the movie follows a psychic consultant navigating a dualistic reality. Although initially dismissed as a Matrix imitation, it has gained appreciation over time, especially now that it marks its 20th anniversary. The film faced criticism for casting Keanu Reeves in a role that strayed from the comic's original depiction, yet it offers a memorable visual and narrative experience.
Everything in Constantine is washed with green, as though the whole world were unwell and not just the film's terminally ill hero.
Constantine is deeply pleasurable in a way that has become easier to admit as the film, which just crossed its 20th anniversary this year, has been removed from the context in which it was originally received.
