After I walked into the theater to find a seat and sat down, the friend next to me chatted about news on the Internet saying that the movie scared the child to cry. I was still wondering at the time, but when my girlfriend was afraid of pinching my left arm, I got it. -------Take the typical plot in the monster disaster film as the beginning of the film. Uncharacteristically, the fans who are in the mood to watch the New Year comedy are instantly dragged into the whole story by this strong and fast-paced plot. set up. It is not only the 3D effect that can bring the immersive feeling, but the more advanced one is the mastery of the speed of the plot. The one or two gag laugh points in the middle are like giving you time to breathe to prevent you from forgetting to breathe.
In this way, I was led away by the plot. It was not until Miss Duan turned the pig monster into a puppet that I realized that the river monster fish monster turned out to be an enlightenment who only said: "Big brother, the master was taken away by the monster" net.
According to the play, Wu Jing was originally an enthusiastic man who bravely saved the children who fell into the water and was mistakenly identified as an adult trafficker by the villagers and was thrown into the water. What impressed me the most was not the cruelty of the tentacles licking the girl's head, not the ruthlessness that swallowed the girl's mother, but the way he looked at the villagers after he transformed into a human form. I'm sure I saw strangeness, innocence and fear in his eyes. Yes, it is fear. This monster who kills without blinking his eyes, can kill even children, is full of fear when he sees the weak. I think the last time this look appeared, it was probably that he was being pushed into the water by the villagers of "justifying justice", his arms were tied back, and his body was suspended in the air just before he fell into the water. Why would he punch Xuanzang the exorcist? In Wu Jing's eyes, Xuanzang arrested himself in order to save these villagers who also did not distinguish between black and white. This behavior was tantamount to being a tiger, and he complained.
After talking about the third brother who is always responsible for reporting the battle situation to the master, let's talk about the second brother who is often taken away by the monsters with the master.
For the plot, Monkey King told Xuanzang that the method of attracting the pig demon Wu Neng was reasonable and ingenious. Not only did it lead to the second time the theme song Love of Life, it also perfectly corresponds to the ins and outs of Wu Neng that Master Xuanzang told Xuanzang before: Wu Neng’s life experience is almost the same as that of Water Margin Wu Dalang, it is nothing that Ximen Qing uses poison. And it was the nail rake that killed Wu Neng.
Do you remember the smiling face when Wu was able to face two Taoist priests? When watching the movie, my girlfriend told me that this kind of laughter was really scary. I was thinking, what kind of laugh is the most lethal and horrible laugh? Doesn't you smile? Does the heart smile? No, the answer is laughter and tears. When your lover holds a sweet gift in hand, says warm words to you, thank you for your dedication and cherishment of love, and when you stand opposite him or her and are extremely surprised, you will shed tears of happiness, smile and say thank you Your dear. The lethality of this scene can be imagined. This is the first kind of laughter and tears, commonly known as crying with joy.
When did the terrifying smiling face of Goneng appear again?
"Crescent moon, hilltop. Wu Neng suddenly got inspiration, and he wrote the last sentence, last word and last picture of the love poem. He read it in his heart from beginning to end, thinking that the lady would love this most romantic expression. There was a very happy smile on his face. Picking up a love poem, he strode towards home. On the way, he looked up and saw the crescent moon in the sky, like the moon grinning in the sky, he thought, after seeing lady love poems, must also be the expression ......
......
Wu able to lift head, chest and mouth dripping with blood. Dingpa inserted in the chest bitterly cold, it seems to freeze his heart. he thought perhaps This is the feeling of death... He doesn't understand why the lady he loves so dearly would betray him, why would he cruelly kill him with the adulterer, why would... he laughed, laughing at his absurdity, Laughing at his pitifulness, laughing at his childishness, laughing at the end of his love with his wife. He closed his eyes hard, hoping that all this was just a nightmare. But he woke up because of the bitter cold blood in his mouth constantly pouring out Come. He opened his eyes, but looked at the crescent moon in the sky, he smiled bitterly, even the moon was laughing at my poor? Tears evaporated, he opened his eyes, smiled at the moon, and breathed out the last breath of his life feebly. "The
crescent moon, also known as the waning moon.
I think this is what happened that night and the continuation of Wu Neng's scary smiling face. He was incarnate as an ugly pig demon, but dressed in the skin of a beautiful man, he vowed to use the evil fangs hidden behind the charming smile to tear all the hypocritical and superficial pseudo-love, pseudo-trust, and pseudo-authenticity. At the last glance of the slain person before he died, Wu Neng smiled and raised the gleaming rake...Puff...Blood and blood were splattered.
But can you see that under the skin of that beautiful man, Wu Neng's eyes are crying silently? He hates.
Journey to the west to cast down demons, what kind of demons are cast down.
It's the demons.
Wujing turns into monsters due to resentment, and Wu Neng turns into monsters due to hatred, all of which are caused by inner demons. Can't let go, can't forget, can't help, can't tolerate it. The demons are not removed, the appearance is only the appearance after all. It's like Master Xuanzang's theory of goose legs: I clearly want to eat, but he insists that he doesn't want to eat. In our lives, how many confession and disagreement do we have? Although each has its own difficulties, isn't it also annoying to still be unable to achieve the kind of truth that you most yearn for? For Miss Duan, Xuanzang just said love as not love, isn't it the same? And this is exactly Xuanzang's heart demon, which is what Master Xuanzang said, a little bit worse.
The inner demons of the three exorcists, the emptiness son, Tiancanjiao and Wuxingquan, are simple: fame and fortune. They represent the broadest group of people, the development direction of the most advanced values, and the most universal pursuit of life. The ending film of this pursuit has also been shown to us. These are all paper tigers, they are all scumbags in the head of the head ~ they
can't subdue the heart demon, and they are eventually eaten back by the heart demon.
After all, what is Wukong's demon?
I think it should be the pursuit and yearning for freedom and unfetteredness. Wukong's logic is very simple, do whatever you think. Although simple, but the most real, and if he said that, he already possesses the little bit that Xuanzang and others lack, and he is indeed stronger than all the monsters and exorcists that appear in the film in terms of ability. But this is where Wukong's heart demon lies: what he pursues is metaphysical freedom, but this is unrealistic and will never be achieved. For example, if I have no money and want to rob the bank, shall I rob it? I hope my parents will always be healthy, so they are really immortal? For example, if I want to buy a car, can I really win the medium? Living in any environment, we must follow the laws of the environment. This is not helplessness, not the loss of the pursuit of freedom, but an active protection for the continued existence of this environment. That's right, Wukong's pursuit is also Wukong's demon. In modern words, it can be summarized in four words: lawlessness. (This also explains why many people say that in Journey to the West, Wukong was omnipotent to knock down the heavenly immortals one by one before being surrendered, but after being surrendered, he couldn't beat the immortals. The apprentices often went to the heavenly court for help. He followed The law of the environment, he is also a person in the system~)
If Xuanzang and others are missing a little bit, Wukong is a little bit behind.
(But I have to say that Wukong’s final struggle in the film is a kind of tragic and vigorous knowing that he can’t do it.)
The only thing in the film that does not have a heart demon is the fact that the six impures seduce Xuanzang without saying a word. Miss Duan.
Persevering in removing the demon in one's own way; expressing love for Xuanzang, tearing up three hundred children's songs when sad, and then working together for three days and three nights, daring to love and hate; knowing that it is not Wukong’s opponent, still has no hesitation to stand in the way In front of Xuanzang, until he was "squeezed into the temple and shaved his eyes" by Wukong, he entered a near-death state; the phrase "Ten thousand years is too long, love me now" before the ashes disappeared even more tells the truth: What do you sing to love you for ten thousand years, say What loves me will never change... if you really love me, pour me footwashing water right now, and if you really love you, I will make a delicious table for you. Talking about it, it's all nonsense.
To live so chic, not to be driven and confused by the heart demon, to dare to obsessively but not out of line to pursue one's yearning, I think this is the best state, so good that it doesn't look like a mortal.
Probably not.
If Ms. Duan is also looking for a personal prototype, I think it should be the Avalokitesvara: Enlighten Xuanzang's enlightenment to go to the west to learn scriptures, guide Xuanzang to receive enlightenment and Wujing as disciples, and give Xuanzang a curse to discipline Wukong , These are all the deeds of Guanyin Master in the original work, which exactly corresponds to the plot in the movie one by one. Here I have to sigh again for Zhou Xingchi’s control over the plot design. The indefinite flying ring has become a golden hoop. You can understand it as the continuation of Miss Duan’s love, and it can be understood as Xuanzang’s response to Wukong’s killing of his beloved one. Tolerance can be understood as Wukong’s self-restraint after he removed his heart demon... Without everything that Miss Duan did for Xuanzang because of love, Xuanzang would no longer doubt his exorcism concept and then decisively embarked on the road to find Wukong. If Xuanzang does not search for Wukong, he will not release Wukong. If he does not release Wukong, Miss Duan will not die. If Miss Duan is not dead, Xuanzang will not really have an epiphany, and he will not see the Da Ri Tathagata. If you surrender to Wukong, there will be no westward story...The relationship between these three is mutually restrictive, and each other is cause and effect. Here I put forward a bold assumption that Miss Duan and Xuanzang's master are actually the same person. From the pros and cons of doing the work differently, Xuanzang's epiphany was finally achieved. In this way, Miss Duan is more like Guanyin Master.
Journey to the west and conquering the demons can be understood as the story of Xuanzang’s apprentices embarking on a journey, but I prefer to understand it as the mental journey of the four masters and apprentices surrendering their own demon: when Wujing tries to understand the villagers who misunderstood him, and understand Can try to forgive the lady who betrayed him, when Wukong tries to pursue freedom and unrestrained within a reasonable range, when Xuanzang eats goose legs and looks at the beautiful women while thinking about pursuing the Buddhadharma to save sentient beings, the heart demon of the four masters and disciples, They were really surrendered by themselves.
In common sense, at this point, there should be a long period of in-depth discussion related to real life, but today I don't want to write nonsense that is clear to all of us. Just share a big nonsense with everyone: the most important thing in life is to know yourself, then find out what you want, and then bravely pursue it. Don't be intimidated by the universal remarks that "you are doing this irrationally", "you are doing it too expensive", "you are doing this unrealistic", and "you must have lived better than you are now". What you want, only you know. And you are not a mythical character, you only have this short life. Don't pursue real dreams, can't let go of temptation, and be trapped by the demons? Why bother? What is your demon? When can you surrender him?
Maybe you are only a little bit short.
Postscript: A few random thoughts, without sorting out, have come up with random codes, just feel free to look at them~
Some plots of the film can actually find similar mappings from Zhou Xingchi's work "Kung Fu" a few years ago.
1: Diaosi counterattack: the protagonist is a low-level person, not accepted and recognized, began to doubt his own way and direction, witnessed the biggest villain tortured other decent characters and then transformed into a super Saiyan, then tortured and killed the biggest villain, and even the biggest The villain is accepted as an apprentice! And again: and the same trick is actually used-Tathagata Palm!
2: The image setting of the biggest villain: This is really a spit. The look of Huoyun Cthulhu and Wukong in the hole is too similar. It's OK to swap movies... The hair is messy and sparse, and the expression is vivid and wretched, alas~ next time You can change your style!
3: The image setting of other decent characters: In Kung Fu, there are three positive characters: Wu Lang Bagua Cudgel, Twelve Way Tan Legs, and Hong Jia Iron Line Boxing, which left a deep impression on people. In Journey to the West, there are also three characters: Xingyi Wuxingquan, Tiancanjiao and Kongzi Gongzi. The characteristics are also outstanding, and the supporting roles are equally brilliant. But in terms of setting, there may be similarities. PS, the same actor (Shi Xingyu) plays the roles of Twelve Road Tan legs and Xingyi Wuxingquan. And the actor of Hong's Iron Line Boxing, in Journey to the West, Jiang Devil, starred in that handsome guy from Miss Duan's house who was asked by the emptiness son ~ is the object of Xuanzang's dancing ~ Did you remember?
After reading it, a friend said that Wukong's appearance was too ugly and disgusting, and Jane couldn't stand it directly. Indeed, it was ugly, but this should be done intentionally. At this time, Wukong could kill the Five Elements Fist alive, blown away the emptiness, and mercilessly kill Miss Duan who was dancing together just now, a monster that is more demon than a beast, and more beast than a demon! As the saying goes, if you really are like a monkey king like Teacher Liu Xiaolingtong, the sense of disharmony will become a place for everyone to complain. In short, I think it's good, what do you think? PS: The actor who turned into a monkey was not played by the handsome Huang Bo~ It was another actor (Ge Xingyu)~ I
thought that Huang Bo taught Shu Qi to dance in the part where they actually laughed and raised their hands~ I I firmly believe that~ it must be because the effect is too good and decisively decided to use this paragraph~ha~
The ending scene at the end of the film is exactly the same as we remembered: the four masters and apprentices walked away from the back. I think this move is also to pay tribute to the Westward Journey and serve as a continuation of memory.
My friends think that if you use the original version of the subtitles at the end of the movie, that is, the Cantonese version of the love of a lifetime, it will feel more and resonate with everyone. I can’t agree more. This song was played in a loop by my friend a few months ago, and I followed suit. The classic voice, the voice of memory, the voice of love, the voice of regret. With lyrics on love life as the end of it:
"love life"
concert: Lu Guanting
in the past do not come now gone
red leaves long buried within the dust
beginning of the end has not changed always change
the horizon of your wandering clouds outside
Oliver turned up love hate
is difficult to escape the fate of the world in
a blind date actually inaccessible
or I should believe that fate
lover do not always do not come after (the dissipation of Love)
silent sitting alone on earth to look outside (hope the future will be adjourned)
, although the flowers will wither (willing)
but will re-open (for you)
love life vaguely (waiting)
(expectations) outside the Baiyun
Oliver reveal the love-hate
in the world is difficult to escape the fate of
a blind date actually inaccessible
or I should believe that fate
Oliver reveal the love-hate
in the world hard escape the fate of
a blind date actually inaccessible
or should I believe it is fate
