The screenwriter is amazing, he makes jokes and serious truth not conflict

Hemingway's wise words throughout his life are: People can be destroyed, but they can never be defeated. Correspondingly, for demons, destruction is useless, it is only the long-cherished wish of those with vested interests, and only the foundation of defeat is the beginning of successful exorcism. All exorcists except Xuanzang exorcised demons with the idea of ​​destroying demons. For Xuanzang, only by first defeating the demon, and then reawakening his goodness, can it be called "exorcism".
Of course, Xuanzang could not help but doubt himself on the way to exorcism. When the entire exorcism group seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and is eager to win with efficiency, he is the only one who adheres to the concept of calling for goodness, and it is inevitable that he will be lonely and doubt himself. In fact, each of us, in the past, present, or future, is not Xuanzang. Especially this group in my current age group, just walking in front of a large clump, at a loss, with the weak idealism established by itself, against the efficiency and pragmatism of the world, and faltering. But Xuanzang was lucky. He had a master who told him that he might succeed with just a little more effort, and only a little bit less and you know that the concept you hold is truly correct. Maybe we're just so close?
Every monster has its own unbearable past, and the screenwriter must write stories based on the concept of "human nature is inherently good". Zhu Ganghya was killed by his cheating wife and lover with a rake. The former fish demon rescued the child and was misunderstood by the villagers as a human trafficker, but was thrown into the river to feed the fish, so they turned into monsters and began to take revenge. There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. As the wheel of history turns, it is inevitable that someone will be accidentally steered under the wheel, but only after being steered will you know what's wrong with the wheel.
Xuanzang, the demon, the demon conqueror, the stump foot, the empty son, Miss Duan, Taoist priest... I believe that every character in today's society has something to do with it. History makes some demons run rampant now, but not themselves want to become. If they use the fatalistic point of view, they are unavoidable, and they should be dedicated to the evolution of history.
To paraphrase a sentence I have seen: this country, if it is a country; this race, if it is worthy of a race, needs nothing else but exorcism, subjugation.
But sometimes I think that those demon masters, stumps of the sky, sons of emptiness, including Taoist priests, seem to be even more terrifying than demons.
