The villain who makes people hate him and makes people sigh for him, the bald priest in the classic movie "The Mummy" is one of them. He endured three thousand years of bitterness and long loneliness, just to welcome his love When he came back, his lover left him in a critical moment and turned mercilessly. In the end, his tearful and desperate smile put a perfect end to this sad character.
——The love that Immortal thinks and gives everything for it is just a trap that Ansuna carefully planned for him.
(1) Motivation
Imerton’s tragedy originated from a forbidden love between him and Ansuna:
Ansuna was originally the favorite of Egyptian pharaoh Seti I, and the future queen of Egypt. She is beautiful, strong, smart, and brave. The pharaoh did not allow anyone other than him to touch her, and painted her with unique paintings all over her body. So why does she, who is so favored, have an affair with Imerton?
Ansuna is strong in martial arts and proud. She was unwilling to be treated as a pet and tool by the Pharaoh, and she didn't want to be a confined slave. She desires to have a free body.
(2) Perfect prey
In order to resist her destiny, Ansuna, who is lonely and helpless, needs to choose a perfect prey for herself to be her solid backup.
But in Egypt, kingship = theocracy, and Pharaoh is the supreme god. How can she fight against the gods? This prey must have the power to fight against the Pharaoh, but also easy to be simple-minded and easy to fall into the gentle trap of love. Immortal is the only perfect choice.
1. Status and ability
The status of priests in ancient Egypt is very high, equivalent to the spokesperson of the gods. Moreover, being able to become priests is also a royal noble birth. He has his own independent temples and believers. He is the person that Pharaoh relies on most. The Pharaoh believes in him and respects him, and the Egyptians believe, Priests also have the ability to bring them back to life.
Under these conditions, Immortal naturally became the best candidate.
2. Simple and passionate heart
Position alone is not enough. To allow the prey to serve her willingly, the prey must fall in love with her desperately.
To be a pharaoh's woman, Ansuna itself is a charming existence. The movie does not tell us about their beginning, but there is such a scene:
During Ansuna's fight with the princess, her every move affected Immortal's heart, and his worry about her and the joy of victory were written on his face. After her victory, Immortal walked down the steps and passed Ansuna. Inadvertently, the two looked at each other. Immortal's eyes were full of tenderness and approval, but Ann's eyes were full of approval. lonely.
As a priest, he didn't know how to conceal his emotions. His performance proved that this passionate and innocent young man had fallen into the trap Ansuna had laid for him at this time, becoming the prey of her love.
(3) The price of love
"Love is the bait that deceives people into the quagmire, love puts poison on the arrow of destiny"
1. First death
Immortal and Ansuna met in the temple. Here is a detail. The monks under Immortal closed the door in a tacit understanding. It can be seen that they have done this many times. Immortal kissed his lover cautiously, but still misfigured the ornamentation on Ansuna's shoulders. They didn't know that everything about them was seen by the princess not far away.
The Pharaoh entered the temple, and Ansunam, with a guilty conscience, held the statue on hold of the old man's eyes. The pharaoh found the tattoo that had been dazzled. At this moment, Emerton walked out from behind and Ansuna took out a knife and stabbed Pharaoh to death. The princess not far away called the guard loudly.
In order to cover Immortal's escape, Ansuna stabbed herself decisively with a knife. Then the guards rushed forward, and Immortal, who was going away, could only look at the shadow on the curtains of his lover being stabbed to death by the guards.
Many fans were moved by this scene. They all thought that Ansuna's love to Immortal was sincere and great, and she would rather commit suicide to save her lover . But we can think about it the other way around:
First of all, Ansuna said when sending Immorton out: "Only you can bring me back to life."
Immortal's eyes widened, and he understood something.
Yes, she was hinting to Immortal, maybe she had already mentioned this idea to Immortal in their many cheatings before: It is impossible to escape the control of the Pharaoh, only death is the only thing. The path to liberation, and Immortal is a priest, a person who can use the "Black Sutra of the Dead" and has the ability to resurrect, so that Ansuna can be rescued from imprisonment.
Second, if you truly love someone to the point where you are willing to ignore life and death for him, you will not let the living person take risks.
Ansuna knew what consequences she would face after Immortal's resurrection, but she still hinted that he would do it, indicating that in her heart, all she needed was the self who was free after being resurrected, not Immortal's safety.
Thirdly, suicide was the best choice for Ansuna at that time.
Ansuna knew what punishment she would face when she was caught. Assassinating the pharaoh was a heinous crime (refer to Immortal's later punishment of insects), and these were not what she wanted and could bear. Only one death is the best choice for her. "Death is not the end, it is another new beginning."
Sure enough, the faithful Immortal stole her body and took it to Hamnart for the resurrection ceremony. Unfortunately, the guard interrupted the ceremony before the ceremony was completed. Ansuna’s wish for resurrection fell through, and her soul could only Screaming screaming and returning to hell, waiting for the next resurrection call.
Immortal was caught back and sentenced to insect biting. It was the most poisonous curse. He was buried in the ground and endured the bite of scarabs alive. He was immortal and immortal. The consequence is that once released, it will bring the end of the world. (By the way, the setting of these curses is really to dig holes for yourself.)
2. Resurrection ceremony
By coincidence, Eve released Immortal, who had been tortured for three thousand years, and opened the road to the end of the day.
But Imerton is an "incompetent" villain. He did not fulfill his mission of "destroying the world", instead he started to resurrect Ansuna non-stop.
People are not as good as the sky, the ceremony is interrupted again, Ansuna can only temporarily resurrect as a mummy. Under O'Connor's entanglement, Immortal had no avatar, but Ansuna's first thing was not to help Immortal. She grabbed the golden dagger and stabbed Eve desperately. For three thousand years, Ansuna didn’t want to wait any longer. She longed to have a beautiful body like Eve, instead of being a dry and rotten mummy. She missed the sensation of the heart beating on her chest and felt the blood flow from her heart to her fingertips. That touch of warmth, as long as she kills Eve to complete the ritual, she can succeed.
At this time, Jonathan, whose luck index broke out, seized the opportunity of the two sides to fight and found the spell to control the guard mummy in the "Sun Golden Sutra".
"Imorton."
"Ansuna."
The scene three thousand years ago was replayed. Immortal once again watched her lover be killed by the guards. Ansuna's soul roared and returned to hell again. She was not reconciled and hibernated, waiting for the chance to return. .
(4) Ansuna's ambition
In "The Mummy 2", nine years later, a woman who looks exactly like Ansuna appeared, Nina, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Ansuna. She found the curator of the British Museum, took them to Hamnart, and unearthed the immortal that was defeated nine years ago and re-sealed.
Her purpose this time is for the Death Bracelet. Legend has it that the Death Bracelet can guide people to find the tomb of the Scorpion King. Those who kill the Scorpion King can get the army of the Death God Anubis to conquer the world.
There is such a scene:
Ansuna and Immortal, who had not been fully resurrected, were talking on the tower. Immortal walked to her and said, "Now I should rush to Am'she and kill the Scorpion Emperor." Ansuna turned to look at him. "With his army, we can..." After a pause, a smile full of hope was revealed: "Together to rule the world . "
After experiencing repeated failures, Ansuna has not only hoped for freedom, she yearned for greater strength and higher rights, and the powerful Immortal is the one who can help her achieve her goals, not to mention He still loves her as always and is willing to give everything for her.
(5) Betrayal and destruction
Under the guidance of the death bracelet, they came to Am'shee. The proud Ansuna killed Eve at the gate of the pyramid and stepped into the pyramid as a victor. Everything in her dreams will be realized. As long as according to the plan, Immortal will kill the Scorpion the Great and get the Death Legion. , And she has all the love of Immortal, she will be the queen of the world.
The god of luck did not stand by Ansuna's side. After entering the temple, the god of death played with them again and took away Immortal's mana. Ansuna began to feel a little uneasy, and she prevented Emerton from entering the tomb.
Is it because of worry?
Yes. She worried about Immortal's failure.
If Immortal had mana, it would be no problem to defeat Emperor Devil Scorpion, but if his mana was taken away, he could only rely on physical attacks, then what level of chance would he win? As long as Immortal was there, she could turn over again, so she didn't want him to take risks.
Immortal entered the tomb resolutely, and Ansuna, who was waiting outside, was uneasy at the moment. When Jonathan appeared to provoke her, she forgot the "Black Book of the Dead" that she put aside, and fought with Jonathan.
History is always surprisingly similar. Eve’s son took the opportunity to take the Black Sutra and resurrected Eve with a spell. The returning Eve had a confident duel with Ansuna, just like three thousand years ago, but this time Eve won.
The God of Luck is always on the protagonist's side. The trial spear thrown by Imerton was successfully intercepted by O'Connor. Once again, they watched their goal ruined in O'Connor's hands. The Scorpion King was defeated and the Death Army was sent back underground. At this time, the temple began to collapse, and both Immortal and O'Connor fell into the cracks on the ground. Below were hellfire and countless desperate arms.
Eve rushed to O'Connor and rescued him from the crack. Immortal looked at both of them enviously. He also called his lover; "Ansuna, save me."
If Ansuna fell into the crack, Immortal would surely rescue her desperately, because Immortal truly loved her until she died. And what about Ansuna? The hypocritical love mask was torn apart at this moment of life and death. Knowing that she was unable to return to the sky, she left Immortal who had called her and turned and walked away.
Seeing Ansuna disappearing outside the door, Immortal's tears instantly wetted his eyes. He looked at O'Connor and Eve who were close to each other, smiled slightly, let go of his hand and plunged himself into boundless hell.
Immortal's heart died, and the love he had endured for three thousand years of loneliness and pain to pursue was so vulnerable. "Our souls, nest together forever" is just his wishful thinking.
Fate is actually a reincarnation. After Ansuna ran away, the collapse of the temple intensified. In the shaking of the ground, she could not stand and fell into the scarab pile. As her tragic cry came, she tasted it too. In the past, Immortal suffered from the bitterness of all insects.
When I watched the sequel for the first time, like many people, I thought Ansuna’s turn was incredible. Years later, I will come back to watch again. Ansuna’s turn has long been her inevitable. Under her meticulous guidance, Immortal walked into her love trap, and she was willing to go through the fire and water.
It was the first time to die, because Ansuna knew that Immortal would definitely save her.
The second history repeats itself, and Ansuna's desire for life has reached its peak, but she still needs Immortal.
In the third failure, Immortal had lost the value of using Ansuna, and she could only save herself.
"If love is mixed with calculations that have nothing to do with it, it is not true love."
This thousand-year love is not beautiful, and it has such a bleak ending. It is an inevitable and ought to end.
The same is true in reality. We always expect too much of love, and we think that the other person will also make an equivalent return for our contribution. It turns out that each of us is Immortal, not for ourselves, but for the ideal love, to move forward courageously, and when our hearts are dead, we realize that we are already bruised and bruised.
Today’s pain is the happiest memory of yesterday.
