I still remember that "Children of Monsters" was released to the source a few months after it was released, but unfortunately, even the shooter.com could not have subtitles at that time. It took a few years. . . I watched it on streaming media with my daughter today, and found that it was actually a 15-year-old movie. . . When a person enters middle age, do they really understand what time is like passing by?
The protagonist borrows a book from the library in the film. After a pause, I compared the name of the chapter mentioned, it should be Herman's "Moby Dick". And the final enemy's metamorphosis also happens to be a huge whale? Just like in the novel, the protagonist Kuta is fighting against his life and against Ichiro Maru, who has fallen into darkness. Rather than fighting with himself. Whale and Ichiro Maru are like mirrors, reflecting the darkness and flaws of the protagonist himself. Also as a human child raised by a monster. Jiu Tai admitted his differences and flaws, challenged and learned from his also imperfect master Xiong Che, and finally master and apprentice (father and son) grew up together. Ichiro Maru denied the fact that he was a human being, and infinitely magnified the halo brought by his "father" Pig Wangshan. After the Pig King Mountain was defeated by Xiong Che, the halo in Ichiro Maru's heart was shattered and completely collapsed. In the end, one faced his own darkness and conquered it. One is gradually swallowed by darkness in the process of constantly deceiving himself.
The plot of Xiong Che and others taking Jiutai to learn from various masters in the middle is very similar to the plot of Sha Wujing asking the truth from various big monsters at the bottom of the quicksand in Atsushi Nakajima's short story "The Birth of Wujing"~
At the end of the movie, Xiong Che turned into a sword-shaped Fu Sang God and became the queen of swords in Jiutai's heart. Unexpectedly, Jiutai finally returned to the human world and never picked up the sword again.
In Atsushi Nakajima's short story "Biography of Celebrities", Changji, the god of archery during the Warring States Period, finally achieved "no shooting". Maybe Jiutai, who was one with Xiong Tetsuren's sword, didn't really put down the sword. Instead, it has reached the realm of "to do nothing. To speak to speak. To sword without sword". In the future, you can use the sword in your heart to cut through all obstacles and difficulties.
ps: The "sea seal master" I met when I was studying the scriptures. . . No matter how you look at it, it looks like Cai Lan, a "foodie". . . ?
