"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons": Feelings are gone!

To this day, I still remember the story of "Journey to the West", which was stored in the computer in the dormitory by our classmates in college. Everyone has copied the plot in the movie in reality. Whoever looks in the mirror at the door in the morning will definitely shout: Pig! During the chat, if someone is too squeamish, someone will say to him "people are born by human beings, monsters are born by monsters" or so, or shout "ONLY YOU" into his ears. And the most widely circulated sentence "There was a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it..." has been repeated and imitated countless times by us. At that time, the drama club in the school often stole from "Journey to the West" and made some postmodern short plays. I don't know if experiencing some world events will bring about changes in mood, or if the increase of age will eliminate many pure emotions, this time, watching "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", I can't find the feeling of watching "Journey to the West".

Zhou Xingchi's funny, if you change the actor to interpret it, it doesn't feel like the taste at all. The melody of "The Love of My Life" appears at two important points in the film and at the end of the film, and the lyrics have been replaced. This mashup has a huge destructive effect on the once melodious and moving melody, especially when it first appeared, those unbearable The scene is really speechless. The hilarious passages that fill the whole film are naive, and the way of making people laughs has not improved much over the years. And perhaps the biggest credit for this film is only in the special effects, right? Although the special effects of the whole film are not big scenes. And looking at the fights in the key scenes where the special effects are displayed in this film, it really has no effect in the whole film, except to show the special effects. If Stephen Chow puts more effort into kung fu display, why not just shoot "Kung Fu 2"?

Even if I watch this film with the diaosi mentality of looking for the feelings of the past, I still feel very uneasy. In the end, how many classics do you have to watch helplessly? "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons": special effects + funny, nostalgic music + foreign film characters, names, and scenes for reference, this time I switched my perspective to Chen Xuanzang, still entangled in emotional issues, still a mix of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical style, no Very surprising plot, not very exciting story.

The most important question is: the feelings are gone!
