Irresponsible movie review (semi-spoiler)
About what is the "future" that recurs in the film. Successive kings praised him for "confidence in the future" when he tortured him, so he lent his power to him. I think the future here refers to the same belief. The whole city without its barriers will collapse. The male protagonist knows that he will die the next day, but he always adheres to the original belief, this belief, what is this belief, it is actually very simple to believe in the hereditary , believing that his son will become the new good king and bring happiness to the people. However, this new king does not show the true face of Mount Lu in the whole film. It can be said that the male protagonist really believes in the air. This value is very different from the Live in the moment that we usually talk about. Only people with a very firm will can can do it. Here I want to mention the male protagonist's life experience. The film implies that his mother and sister have passed away. I have to say that this kind of single man is really fierce every minute, such as Uncle Ji in John Wick, and in the memory fragment. Leonard, who kept looking for revenge motives for himself, had lost everything and had nothing to lose, so he had to find a reason for himself to dedicate himself, not to break or stand, but to live to the death.
About the recurring "fight for home" in the film. In the film, it can be said that all people are fighting for their homeland, but their different understandings of the word "homeland" have caused them to deviate from each other. Some people understand their homeland as "hometown", they are people who fought for the past, so when their homeland was ceded to the territory, they chose to rebel. Some people understand their homeland as "their habitat". They are people who are fighting for the present, so they choose to go to the enemy country for their own safety and development. Some people's homes are spiritual homes, they do not forget their original intentions, and they still fight to the end. They are the so-called "for the future".
About good kings and bad kings. I don't think it's easy to say that the Gray King is a good guy, and the White King is the villain. After all, the Gray King is also a person who gives up a city every minute, and the White King is just visually portrayed as a villain. In fact, the whole film is about power struggles from beginning to end. There is no difference between good and bad politics. All wars and sacrifices are for domination. If according to the tradition of Confucianism, the resisters are all positive characters, and the predators are all bad guys, such a division of roles would be too much. After all, The Legend of Zhen Huan and the Legend of Wu Meiniang are both TV dramas, and TV dramas like to describe them as "forced to Liangshan" - ——Being the queen is not what I thought, and I was only forced to, and I came to this step inexplicably. But if the audience is asked to think which king can better be the king of the people, then I believe that the gray-haired king will still succeed in the election, because he is still a more virtuous person. The irony is that when the two of them signed the agreement, the scene of hurting each other really looked a little like the US election. Koko.
