always like to talk off topic

I always like to talk about things that are not very relevant. I don't want to say too much about the wonderfulness of the movie, but after searching on Baidu and entering the keyword "face change", among the eleven results on the homepage, only one is related to this movie, and ten are about Cage's. Oh, by the way, one of the results was in both films. Weird search results, but normal results. Then I saw a few friends in Baidu Know who were looking for this movie. Of course, these friends made...

old society in miniature

The film tells the story of a lonely face-changing king who bought a grandson "dog baby" from a human trafficker in order to keep the incense heritage's face-changing stunt from being lost. Through their stories, the movie shows the current situation of the society at that time through their stories. Through the face-changing king's teaching of stunts, it shows the old society's patriarchal ideology. There is a scene in the movie where the face-changing king sells children. When I visited...

I'm not good enough to tell a story, don't frown

From "A Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" to "Changing Faces", the master just said, don't frown if my story is not appealing enough. I will only use straight words to set the scene and tell the story. There is no intense emotional impact, no racking of brains to deliberately push the audience's emotions. The world is hot and cold, but the actors and artists cherish each other, and the feudalism is solidified but the truth destroys it. The exploration of traditional culture, the questioning of...

Wherever love comes

The traditional Chinese patriarchal concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, the shackles of love can be broken, but the process is disturbing.

The dog baby was lucky and was adopted by the face-changing king. However, because it is a girl, the process of adoption can be described as difficult.
From "grandfather" to "boss" and then to "grandfather", he was abandoned and forgotten several times, which also revealed
the secular side of the face-changing...

Change is the face, the same is the love

Borrowing a sentence from the living Guanyin in the film, you can point out the connotation of the film's main theme, "Sir, although the world is hot and cold, there is true love in the world." Truth 1, although the face-changing king and Gouwa are not related by blood, a strong grandfather-grandson relationship has developed between them over time; truth two, Gouwa feels guilty and grateful to the face-changing king, and gave him a gift after leaving. "Grandson" wants to give his life to...

nice! The last scene of calling Grandpa made me cry! The dog baby is clever, brave and loyal. Although there is no teapot mouth, it is the real Guanyin of Taoism. The lines are so well written, the folk art feel is so...

In the era of small people and big people, they are both artists. The face-changing king and the popular artist Liang Sulan who walk the streets and alleys look different, but they are actually the same. When Liang Sulan confided her heart to the child, she said that she was just an actor, and she was soft-spoken. The story of looking for incense and inheriting the mantle through the face-changing king reflects the traditional culture's awareness of valuing sons over women and the inside over...

I saw it when I was a kid. There are also excerpts from novels in the junior high school texts. The image of the old man making the little girl pee after being bitten by a snake is particularly deep. There is also the slogan that is passed on to men and not women. Feudalism of...
