I watched the Mummy two part from a young age (it is impossible to recognize the legitimacy of the third part). Recently, it has been taken out of confinement for the epidemic and repeated many times. The audience has been controversial about the ending of Imott and Ansuna for a long time, and there are even two souls. In fact, most of us have forgotten that the love affair of these two people is based on their desire for power at the same time. Once magic and power disappear, the relationship is doomed to collapse. Another key point is the post-mortem experience of Imott and Ansuna. Although Imott suffers from the bitterness of insects, his soul is permanently closed and paused in time and space. And Ansuna has been in hell for three thousand years, and has seen all sentient beings punished horribly. Coupled with the failure of resurrection several times, how could she be willing to fall into the abyss again? Below we will describe the couple separately:
Imott
Imott's fatal injury is simple: arrogance and greed.
From the beginning of Mummy 1, as netizens said, Imott had more slyness and lack of power. He and Ansuna killed Seti I as a passionate murder for escape. When he came out from behind the Pharaoh, Ansuna had a surprised expression, but she did nothing and went to join the killing. Although the killing of the king and taking the throne occurred from time to time in ancient Egypt, the pharaoh had many sons and daughters at that time, and it would be very difficult for Imott to seize power by relying on his own mana and attendants. Later, when he was reborn as a plug-in, Yi was still arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and the lessons of the first book of Amon La were not enough. The guardian of the second museum was obviously more cautious, reminding to seize the Spear of Osiris and ask Ansuna to bring the book of death. After finally losing mana, Ansuna discouraged not to seize power. After three chances, Imott still lost to arrogance. If he is not greedy for power, he only needs to put away the Book of Amura (Book of Life) and Ansuna to escape from the pyramid. Even if the mana is not restored, they can stay together incognito for a long time. He loves Ansuna, but why did he fall in love with her in the first place? Beauty, talent, character, status, and what else? It is Ansuna's stunner existence as a pharaoh's lover. Men are always attracted to women of the highest position. It is a symbolic worship of power and beauty. Imott has shown a thirst for power from beginning to end, but in the desire for power and desire that seem to go hand in hand, love is more important in his mind. You know, Imott has never confided to Ansuna about her suffering from the curse of insects. Every time Ansuna wakes up when he returns to the original state, protecting her at all times without revealing any weakness. When desperately playing a game, she also left her behind to go alone. Fish and bear's paw can't have both. Destiny faced Imott, and shattered his vision, power and love in front of him mercilessly. Only the last time, the most thorough.
Ansuna
The reasons for Ansuna are more complicated: 1) Personality changes experienced after reincarnation
2) The blow of Evelyn brothers and sisters to her self-confidence
3) Fear of the world after death.
Let's first analyze Ansuna's past and present lives. Although she was very ruthless before her reincarnation, she was so bad that she was a demeanor of demeanor. The battle against Evelyn’s previous life, Princess Nefertiri, was full. Killing the pharaoh was just to escape, and the motive was not redundant. Chayuan said that she was very clear about her position. At that time, the ancient Egyptian court system was strict (for modern times, please refer to the Thai harem system). Ansuna is most likely the prince and daughter of the concubine (or the daughter of a powerful minister), and Nefertiri is definitely the birth of The Great Royal Wife, who is a princess. According to archaeological excavations, no matter the temple tombs, ancient Egypt is very particular about the birth inscriptions of women in the harem. Which harem was a pharaoh sister at the time of death, the pharaoh's daughter will list in detail in her position suffix, which is absolutely unambiguous. (The concubine princess will be listed by the pharaoh as the second concubine and lives under the concubine. The female pharaoh Hatshepsut can control the government during her husband-in-law and stepson's dynasty because she is a concubine and forcibly overwhelms her brother and husband. Pharaoh Thutmose I, his mother and concubine was the second concubine from the concubine.) Back to Ansuna, so unless Ansuna received special favors from the pharaoh (such as the ancestor Nefertiti or the later generation Naf Queen Tali, neither of them were of royal origin), otherwise she would only have the title of royal wife or king's wife. In addition to Sheng Chong, the great queen who is not directly related to the princess needs to have excellent comprehensive abilities such as politics and religion to be exceptional. So Ansuna's martial arts is not accidental. On the other hand, the princess of Evelyn’s previous life, no matter which pharaoh she marries, is the queen, above Ansuna. Religious rituals allow and even encourage fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters to imitate gods and marry close relatives. It is possible for a princess to have an Electra complex. (Digression, the only male lead of the two couples of the four couples did not appear directly in the previous life. This is actually extremely scary. After all, the princess did not marry the royal family. After the death of Tutankhamun, his queen and sister , The real Princess Ansuna, sent a letter to the Hittite Emperor to send him a prince as a son-in-law, on the grounds that she must not be humiliated to marry non-royal subjects. According to this, Rick’s past life is probably not just a sacred guard. The movie caters to the historical background of the market euphemistically skipping the marriage of close relatives. From the standpoint of Ansuna, the middle-aged and elderly pharaoh took the princess seriously. He was just a mistress's plaything. He had many titles and titles, and his children had no future. Imott is young and vigorous, with high authority and enthusiasm. Ansuna naturally likes him who values herself. Successfully seizing power is the best, and it won’t be too frustrating to be an underground lover and a powerful minister to help. At the worst, Imott's mana resurrected himself. Therefore, it seems that true love is supreme, the tone of how much power and desire stimulates lust, Ansuna's first self-determination is so simple, in addition to love, it is the magic insurance of Imott that makes her reborn. The reincarnated Ansuna in the second part shows evil and naivety similar to psychosis. Xin Ansuna likes to play tricks and kills like a game, picking the weak to start, like a cat playing with a mouse. The uprightness and cleanliness of the previous life has been washed away by time. At the same time, she has a kind of innocent innocence, she has no resistance to the illusion presented by Imott and the yearning to seize power, and she blindly believes in it. You must know that True Ansuna will not bow her head to Imott, who has been reborn, and act as a bird in her journey. What they fall in love with is an equal relationship between the souls of each other. This is clearly stated in Imott's dialogue. After awakening, Ansuna mixed the memories of the two lives before and after, and unconsciously retained the character of bullying and fearing hardship in future generations. Encountering layers in the pyramid exhausted the confidence that her previous life had brought. The first time Imott was robbed of mana again, she flinched. Mana and power are mutually reinforcing. Without protection, her life, love and love became the first priority, and power became a burden instead. Reluctantly, Imott looked at Shu long, insisting on going his own way. The second time was the blow by the Evelyn brothers and sisters, especially the stab in the face, which completely destroyed Ansuna's self-esteem as an Egyptian noblewoman. Modern Ansuna’s character gradually gained the upper hand. The third time was when Imott asked for help. After her death, Ansuna spent thousands of years in hell, plus several failed resurrections, presumably she didn't want to go back to that shameful place again. To save Imott, the chance of the two surviving is very slim. It is more likely to be crushed to death, or the two of them die in love, and the ending is to return to hell. Without Imott, even if there is a Book of Death, no one in the world will resurrect her. It is difficult for her to lift the body to save people, this time the entire oasis is taken back to the underworld, which is inaccessible to human beings. Without the key insurance of resurrection, it is understandable that Ansuna, who was a mixed life, chose to escape alone. Finally being swallowed by the scorpion group is also a cycle of her giving back to Imott. The love between Ansuna and Imott is realistic on a certain level, not as romantic as we hoped to be. What a pure and soul-stirring. The desire for power and the desire for love are intertwined and are the cogs that cause tragedy. Love is cooking oil in the raging fire, and when the flowers are blooming, there are thousands of times, and there is a way of life and death, but it will not be able to escape the catastrophe and fly separately. It is precisely because the ending is so regrettable that all of us have experienced years of difficulty.
Let’s talk about Evelyn, why can she give up her life to save her husband? It’s because of her courage and determination of life and death like a newborn calf. Evelyn is Pandora who opened the magic box and the Valkyrie who cleans up the mess. In addition to her uncontrolled curiosity, she has always been lonely and calm in desperate situations. Not only that, she had been to heaven after being stabbed to death by Ansuna, so Evelyn had no worries when she came back to life to save Rick. If you die again, the couple who saved Egypt several times will automatically ascend to heaven if they die physically. Since you don't fall into hell, what are you afraid of? It is naturally best to live, and you don't have to worry if you die. They are a rare and lucky couple who live and die together. Rick himself is a veteran ruffian with his head tied to his waistband. As long as his wife and children are fine, life and death are normal. Different considerations and encounters make the ending arrangement of the two couples reasonable, and it is not as abrupt as the rumors.
After watching these two episodes for so many years, the truth is roughly like this: love can give up life and death, and greed can take away everything. Without ignorance of temperance, it is not love and lifelessness, but causal reincarnation.
