The movie "Assassin's Creed" is a movie of the same name derived from the classic stand-alone game "Assassin's Creed". The filming journey began in 2015, premiered at the end of 2016, and then was released in major theaters around the world, becoming the focus of much attention in the film and television industry.

The movie's reputation is polarized

Positive reviews:

According to the comprehensive observation of the movie review website, some viewers appreciate the presentation of the Assassin's Creed worldview in the game in the movie "Assassin's Creed", especially the core of the conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, which retains the essence of the game.

At the same time, the visual effects of the movie "Assassin's Creed" have also been well received by the audience, such as parkour, battle scenes, and the scenes of flying over the eaves and walls between buildings have a strong visual impact.

Negative reviews:

Many viewers criticized the level of the movie's screenwriter. For example, the logic of the plot of the movie "Assassin's Creed" is relatively confusing, which is difficult to understand for non-game fans, and the plot advancement seems abrupt.

In addition, the character creation in the movie "Assassin's Creed" was accused of not being full enough, the inner world of the protagonist was not explored deeply enough, and the supporting roles were mostly reduced to functional roles and were not vivid enough.

Focus on the classic costume design of the 15th century

Although the reputation of the film is polarized, when we focus on its costume design. The design of the props details of the assassin's costumes has also been well received in this regard. From the material and texture of the costumes to the matching of accessories, they are all considered to be more sophisticated.

Under the careful creation of the costume and props team, the audience feels as if they are in the amazing adventure in the Assassin's Creed game, which is an unusual visual journey.

The difficulty of the movie adaptation of "Assassin's Creed" lies in the jumping of the storyline. Director Justin Kurzel anchored the story in the period of the Great Reform in Spain in the 15th century. In 1492, the Catholic Pope forced 200,000 Arabs and Jews to leave their homes, and the 8-century Muslim rule ended.

In the same year, Columbus set foot on the New World of America in October on a royal sailing ship. In this turbulent era, the creed and mysterious "Apple of Eden" guarded by the assassins are the strong values ​​and beliefs behind the movie.

Multiculturalism in Assassin's Costumes

The prototype of the Assassin Brotherhood in the movie "Assassin's Creed" can be traced back to the Sephardic Jews who were at the bottom of society at that time. The Jewish people have a multicultural gene, and their clothing is also more tolerant.

The costumes of Aguilar played by Fassbender (Michael Fassbender) and Maria played by Ariane Labed reflect the Middle Eastern culture. The unique texture of North African fabrics reminds people of the primitive charm of the nomadic tribes in Andalusia.

The Assassin's costumes in the movie "Assassin's Creed" are mainly dark in color, which forms a strong visual impact with the bright red and white tones of the church clergy, and also strengthens the dramatic conflict of the movie, and the overall worldview of the confrontation between good and evil.

The details of the assassin's costumes are quite ingenious

The assassin's costumes in the movie "Assassin's Creed" show extraordinary ingenuity in the details. The bone bead agate embroidery on the goat leather base cloth on Aguila's chest, with metal pieces in series, is a complex craftsmanship that took more than 300 hours to complete, and can be called an artistic treasure.

The gold thread woven jacquard on the waist of Maria's costume emits a golden glow, the blue-green feathers on her neck are light and agile, and the triangular metal pieces, wooden barrel beads and tiger eye stones on her chest are perfectly matched, outlining the mysterious vitality of her African grasslands.

The assassin's hood embroidery inherits the family crest and heraldry culture that emerged after the Crusades in the 13th century and developed among the people in the 14th century. The eagle element of Aguila's costume reflects the assassin's lofty ideals and high morale.

Assassin's costumes focus on functionality

The designer cleverly connects the sleeves and the main body with elastic bands to allow the actors to be flexible and free; the special structure of the crotch eliminates the resistance of kicking and jumping, and has undergone more than 20 improvements.

The Assassin boots are made of top-grade parkour soles and soft cowhide uppers. They have been tested in 100km of parkour to prevent any mistakes. The hem of the garment is embedded with lead wires, and the weight and length have been adjusted more than 30 times, showing the aesthetics of strength.
