Lost and grown

Faith, the spiritual father of man. A person can be like an obedient child, completely obedient to the guidance of faith, without asking for indiscretion. The Crusades in history are just the opposite of faith. The male protagonist Jacob of the movie "Legend of White Ghosts: Escape" is a general set in this Eastern Expedition. He believed in God and swears to God to slay demons and demons for the Lord and become its brave knight. Faith blinded his eyes. He thought the indiscriminate massacre was a righteous act, and women and children would not be spared. Until a mother, in order to avoid the brutal killing of her children, resolutely killed them herself, and then killed herself. There is an old saying that "tiger poison does not eat children." A mother used such a cruel way to resist his slaughter, forcing him to think about his sense of justice. When he was shocked, he wept bitterly. This time became his heart knot, and his faith collapsed.

Based on my analysis of the characters, I think this is not the only reason why Jacob is lost. From the beginning of the movie, Jacob and Garland had an argument, and Garland prevented Jacob’s unrestrained killing. Jacob throws out his oath to God, and Garland refutes his oath to Jacob's father. This probably tells the relationship between Garan and Jacob and his son. Jacob's father may be Garan's friend/comrade-in-arms/apprentice, etc. Therefore, Garan is the brother or uncle of Jacob. Garland accepts Jacob's father's entrustment. Regardless of Jacob's father's life or death, Garland will act on behalf of Jacob's father. Jacob's resistance to Garan can be said to be a rebellion against his father. This is the only way a man grows. When dealing with the character of Garan, Jacob has not found a way to get along, that is to say, he has not found the "father of the flesh." Therefore, I was foolish to think that the double absence of the spiritual father and the physical father was the root cause of his loss.

It is precisely because of the lack of the father of the flesh that he has become more faithful in religion-the father of the spirit, like a presumptuous child, ravages the creatures and acts. In the process of finding the new spiritual father and physical father, that is, in the process of growing up, he was normally confused and hesitated. He came to the East aimlessly, and it was here that he completed the baptism and rebirth of growth.

He appeared again, very decadent, consuming opium, and drunk. The escaped prince and princess evoked the goodness of human nature and saved them from danger. At the princess's request, he served as their bodyguard for a fee, and his relationship with the princess gradually warmed up, and he began to teach Wang Zizhao to archery. The plot where he taught the prince to archery and the plot that Garland once taught him were cross-edited. Not only did he show the friendship between him and Garland as a teacher and apprentice/father and son, but also the growth and transformation of his incarnation as a teacher/father. But he was saved again by his father/master, Jia Lan, and even gave his life in order to complete his mission. When he finds his physical father, he must experience the pain of metamorphosis-father killing, and become a true father/teacher to complete his growth. Love has become his belief, he loves the princess, he cherishes the meaning of every life, he protects them with death, and he also protects his belief from blasphemy with death.

When he was reborn as a human, he knelt down in front of his father/master’s tomb, with mixed flavors and mixed feelings, offering memorial services for him, as well as saying goodbye to himself in the past.
