At the beginning of the movie, "Director: Stephen Chow" appeared on the screen, which was exciting enough for me, and even forgot the thought of "there is no star in this movie". Just as I read other people's film reviews before, Xing Ye "repeated boldly and surpassed it in an all-round way", I can find the shadow of the previous Xing Ye films in almost every scene, but I am not annoying or tired, immersed in it and enjoy it. Also like Master Xing himself said, the whole film is actually played from beginning to end by himself, and every character is him.
Xuanzang sang children's songs to Sha Seng, and Sha Seng took the trouble to do it to him: in "Dahua", Tang Seng sang "Only you" to the Supreme Treasure;
Miss Duan asked someone to act to deceive Xuanzang, and the blood spurting scene: "Tang Bohu" in the right Blood spurting through the intestines;
Miss Duan's pursuit of Xuanzang: the infatuated Zixia in "Dahua" to the Supreme Treasure;
Xuanzang's master explained Buddhism to him: Hong Riqing in "Su Qier";
the palm of the Buddha : The Tathagata Palm in "Kung Fu";
"Three Hundred Children's Songs": the secret book in "Kung Fu";
Xuanzang's final comprehension of the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra": "The Tathagata Palm" in "Kung Fu" and "The Tathagata Palm" in "Kung Fu" Su Qi'er's "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon";
Miss Duan's car that uses various principles to drive: the invention in "Zero Lingfa";
the aunt next to Mr. Kong asked him if he wanted to drag the stump of the sky away, Long-winded: In "Da Hua", Tang Seng asked Sun Wukong if he really wanted the Moonlight Treasure Box;
The cave that trapped Sun Wukong: the Pansi Cave in "Dahua"; the surrender of
Sun Wukong: the evil god of fire and cloud in "Kung Fu" admits defeat;
Xuanzang's dedication to Buddhism: "Kung Fu" in which A Xing was beaten inhumanly I still picked up the wooden stick and knocked on the head of the Evil God of Fire Cloud;
… there are many more, I don’t remember them anymore, it’s not that I’m not serious, but there are too many laughs, memories, and insights in the film, if I list them all, I’m afraid To relive the movie frame by frame, slowly code words.
From childhood to adulthood, all the episodes about Buddha in film and television works have said that "all beings are equal", but none of them made me feel so obvious and clear. Xuanzang's master said that all living beings are equal, all love is equal, and the small love between men and women is also a kind of great love, which can only be understood after experience. At the beginning, the aunt asked Xuanzang if he had a husband, and whether he had ever died. It seemed like a joke. It was only at the end of the film that I realized that this question was full of wisdom.
The reason why there are few excellent comedies is that it is too difficult for the audience to laugh. The audience's laughs are getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer scenes that can be funny. It can no longer be called a comedy simply by exaggerated expressions and messy slapstick. For example, in the film, a cute pendant came out after the demon was collected, which made me smile. For example, Xuanzang hooked the nostrils of the Taoist priest, and the fat woman ran out screaming and made me smile. For example, the fourth teacher, Miss Duan, danced to seduce Xuanzang. The part of Zang but the wrong one made me laugh out loud, such as the empty son, such as Sun Wukong... In short, this is a qualified comedy, "Conquering the Devil" is a movie by Zhou Xingchi, so it must have stars The unpredictable and unpredictable jokes of Ye can be seen in Zhou's movies.
The biggest feature of Zhou's comedy for me is "laughing and crying". I have been a person with very low tears since I was a child. I don't know how many times I cried when I watched Xing Ye's movies, but usually it has nothing to do with love, such as "Su In the plot of the father and son eating dog food in "The Beggar", this time I watched "Conquering the Demons" but dedicated my tears to Miss Duan. That paragraph of dialogue was used badly in many movies and TV dramas, but it touched me abnormally. Xuanzang drove me away. She was many times, but she came back, and she couldn't let him go. Xuanzang said that he fell in love with her the first time he saw her. I think it was true. The first time she saved herself and showed her magic power as an exorcist, Xuanzang should have worshipped her at that time. Ai, he also thinks that he is as powerful as Miss Duan, and that he can directly eliminate the demon and save those innocent people.
When it comes to their first meeting, I think of the cute little girl who started out. After many twists and turns, everyone worked hard to rescue her but she was finally eaten. Many people may not understand why they spend so much time and energy to fill a role of soy sauce, privately. I thought that this was Star Lord's subversion of the audience's mindset that had been trapped in previous film and television dramas. There are many such settings in "Conquering the Devil", and those who don't like them call them loopholes, failures, and shortcomings.
What is the relationship between "Conquering the Demons" and "Dahua", I can't sort it out. My first reaction after reading "The Demons" is to revisit "Dahua". In the movie, the master explained to Xuanzang the reason why Sha Seng became a demon, and told the story of the pig gangren, which is different from everyone's previous understanding, but did not say about Sun Wukong. shown. There are also 10,000-year-old classic lines. Did you think of Xuanzang and Miss Duan when the Supreme Treasure was speaking? The time-travelling in "Dahua" once made me confused. Now I'm asking for trouble again, but I can't help it. to get in touch.
I don’t believe in Buddhism, and I don’t know much about Buddhism, but I only remember two poems a little bit, and I feel like they were tailored for The Conquering of the Demons.
"The body is a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a bright mirror. Always wipe it off, don't let it cause dust." This is the main theme of Xuanzang in the early days. Xuanzang kept asking the master, but he couldn't get a clear answer. The "little" of the master didn't make it clear. Exorcism, demon collection, enlightenment...
"There is no tree in Bodhi, and a mirror is not a stage. Originally, there is nothing, so where can it cause dust." This is the master's teaching, and Xuanzang, who finally realized the epiphany, is the main theme of the whole film. Sun Wukong and several masters fought, but Xuanzang was spared. This is not the protagonist effect. What I saw was Sun Wukong's challenge to the Tathagata. The Tathagata never appeared in the film. His incarnation, so he pulled out Xuanzang's hair but didn't kill him, he killed one after another in front of Xuanzang, he wanted the person in front of him to admit the incompetence of the Tathagata, even if Xuanzang's beloved disappeared, the Tathagata would be saved No... by this time Xuanzang was no longer the original Xuanzang. He could admit his love and become a Buddha with this love. When Sun Wukong and Xuanzang were in a pure state, I thought of Harry "after his death" and Dumbledore at King's Cross Station in "Ha 7". They were both reborn and enlightened.
The four master and apprentice were walking on the way to the west under the setting sun. Xuanzang turned his head and saw the image of Miss Duan. He took that love on the road. This love is the same as his love for all sentient beings. It's not like breaking a precept...
Miss Duan, Young Master Kong, Xuan Zang, Stump Foot... They all say that they are "exorcists", but the name of the movie is "Jiang", this process is Xuanzang's growth, but also Xingye From "Dahua" to "Conquering the Devil".
I have loved Xing Ye for so many years, and seeing such a work, I really don't know how to write the after-view of "Conquering the Devil". What is subjective and what is objective? ! I love him, and he gave me a "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that is equally worthy of love, and that's enough.
