When love and myth merge, what kind of chemical reaction will occur?

There is no girl who does not love romance. Love movies are warm, touching, or abusive, all to tell you how deep love is in humans. However, have you ever had this kind of confusion: Why do you see other people performing so many love scenes in a movie, but you still can’t talk about a relationship? I used to have this kind of confusion, but I didn’t expect to find a possible correct answer in a magical blockbuster adapted from Egyptian mythology recently...


In "War of Gods: Eyes of Power", human love and gods The love together tells a theme of "salvation". Love will always go through various tests, perhaps man-made or natural disasters, there is always a stronger power to reflect the weak feelings between two people.


Even death cannot be stopped, it must be true love.

In "War of Gods", Saya, played by Courteney Eaton, is a human, but has the face of an angel. The Baker played by Brandon Thwaites is just a poor thief. But they are in love, and they are full of expectations regardless of their identity. Like all of us who have fallen in love will feel, knowing that it is always too far away, but still hope for his existence.

In such hopes, destiny intervenes in the incident. The war between Horus and Seth affected the Egyptian people. The kind-hearted Saya hoped that Seth would help Horus regain his eyes and free the Egyptian people from Seth’s terror. God is not beautiful. When everything seems to be going well, Saya unfortunately died of an arrow. Baker is determined to save Saya’s life. Saya said to Baker that “death is not the end”, but death makes those who love Saya very deeply. Baker is desperate, he wants to pull Saya back from death, whatever the cost.


God is a God because she has to bear more

human beings who are willing to make such dedication, and the gods should have done more. And their sacrifices became more and more majestic. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Horus is the "god of the sky" and Hathor is the "god of love". In "War of Gods", Horus, played by "The King Killer", Nicola Coster, is poached by Set, and Hathor, played by Ailotti Yuan, pretends to fall into Set's arms for Horus.

Hathor wore a 42-star bracelet studded with gems. Each gem on the bracelet represented a demon that Horus defeated in order to save her. In our human world, this kind of thing is called a token of love. If he loses the bracelet, Hathor will be dragged into the dark vortex by the demon in an instant. However, in order to save Saya, Hathor took off the bracelet and gave it to Baker, sacrificed himself, and said, "I am Eros. If I don't do this, I will be nothing."


I don't want the stars in the sky, I want the happiness of this world.

Horus is lucky. When he experiences a major blow, the heart of his lover always guards him, and Hathor is such a great goddess. They show us the indestructible holy of love. Regardless of the ending, it is enough so far. In all the unknown, love is the best reassurance, love is the best precipitant. No matter how difficult it is, remember that one end of the world misses you, and spends time for you, without regrets.


We don't have such ups and downs, but such film and television works let us learn to cherish the people in front of us. In ordinary days, having someone who should be cherished by oneself sits next to oneself and reads a tearful story together. It is such an extraordinary thing that we can have in our ordinary life.

Love is sacrifice and redemption, but the magnificent waves are only in exchange for interdependence and mutual courage. Perhaps ordinary is the only answer.

    I think I should be more tolerant, it is still a lot better than "Fuchun Mountain Residence" or something

    Brenton Thwaites is handsome! But no acting.
