"The Book of Avery"-a tribute to loyalty

Speaking of Tang Sanzang and his party, they went through nine or ninety-one difficulties to obtain the Western Classics. What happened in the end? Well, like Einstein, Voltaire, Gandhi, and Jesus, he was dead. To be precise, they were all dead, with four masters and disciples, and none of them survived. Just like Avery, the hero of the movie "Book of Avery", the dust returns to the dust, and the dirt returns to the earth.

When it comes to death and life, it has always been a topic of infinite leaps. You can relate to Qiu Shaoyun, who is smoky and stumbling, allowing his body to react with Mena’s reaction and standing still. Run around. Of course, whether they choose to live or die, they will eventually die. Life and death are all illusions, and neither of them is true. It’s a little empty after all. To put it another way, from the perspective of biophysics, what you see, hear, feel, and think are just flashes in your mind. The so-called immortal emperor, demons and ghosts are just positive and negative energy in the brain. The second brother is loyal and righteous throughout his life. Jesus taught sentient beings and so ascended. They are gods. As long as they still exist in the human brain, they will be forever. Can't die. As long as the civilization is still there, they will be immortal.

The story takes place in the context of the apocalyptic depression, lack of resources, and more important than lack of resources is the demise of civilization. Under the prehistoric catastrophe, it is to unite and help each other to overcome difficulties together. Or occupy the mountain as the king, Lao Tzu is the number one in the world. We tend to be beautiful in our hearts and believe in the former like a fairy tale, while the reality is often the cruel latter. After 30 years of burning books and pit slaves, all that remains of civilization is instinct. The wise man returned to Taoyuan, dormant and cultivated, and fell into infinite purgatory in the world. There is no god in the world. Jesus, the Buddha, and the second brother Newton have already turned into dust with the burning scroll and the memory of the old man. In fact, God has always existed, and God has never been so complicated. In the ancient times when Ru Mao drank blood, you invented drilling wood to make fire, and you are a god. In the new era of highly evolving productivity, you have written a masterpiece of philosophical thought to give people guidance, and you are God. Against the background of the era of depraved morals and full of evil, you are God if you can be good alone and return to the mountains and forests.

And our male protagonist is not a god, he is a lonely walker in style, old and strong but not too cold assassin, he is a lonely ascetic, a defender. He has never thought of becoming a god, but he has a book in his hand that can make people a god. In the age of walking dead, the thoughts contained in an elementary school student's composition are enough to move people to the ground. What's more, God is the "Bible", and with him, he can command one party, and the admiration of thousands of people, to stand up in the sky. As a result, it was naturally like Tang Seng traveling westward, leading all demons and ghosts to fry his skin and tear him apart and eat his flesh. In the past 30 years, how many old people are willing to die, and are unwilling to coerce in such troubled times. The only things that guided him to live were the thoughts in the book and the belief in finding a true master for this book. God cannot perish, nor can it be imprisoned and used by a few people. Toward the west of life, keep moving forward, and keep the last god, there will be hope in the world.

He finally met him, an old man who also felt the civilization before the catastrophe, and an old man who also understood the power of the Bible. As the villain in the story, he wanted to be a god. After the water source controlled a small town, he still Unsatisfied, he wants to control more, but the resources he has on hand are already stretched. He is not talented enough, but has ambitions to surpass talents countless times. Therefore, he can only use the thoughts of the first god and become the god in the eyes of man. Overriding the world. So he kept searching, regardless of the consequences, at any cost. There is providence in Mingming, or a choice. Since he chose to control the residents of the small town through the policy of stupid people, he was eventually overthrown and humiliated by the mob who was so stupid that only instinct was left after he finally lost the protection of the armed forces.

Since ancient times, in novels, movies, online games, history, and religion, the greatest significance of the villain’s existence has been to help the protagonist level up. , So tempted to endure, gain what it can't. Practitioners pay attention to enlightenment. Seeing that it is fate, enlightenment requires opportunity, and the best tool to beat up all the time is of course the stick, so there is a saying that it's a big deal. After 30 years of assiduous practice, the hero, who knows it but does not know why, is in a round of coercion and temptation by the villain, and finally understands the true meaning of the "Bible", completes his mission, and goodness finally ends in Taoyuan.

Thoughts need to be passed on. The gods and saints have never ruled out the opening of a temple to teach apprentices. There are three thousand disciples of Confucius, and the monks of the Tang Dynasty also have four major guardians on the way. Being a teacher and also a friend is a kind of fate, from a girl who didn't understand the world but was loli and innocent and splendid, to a destined person who escorted the ears and eyes. Finally, I had to listen to the scriptures and choose to leave Taoyuan and practice asceticism. Girls have a long history if there are more roads to grow up.

Generally speaking, this is a hearty movie, just like a cup of qualified coffee. It tastes good and has rich taste elements. There is no lack of depth, and the sweetness is long.

The Book of Eli quotes

  • Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.

    Solara: Yeah.

    Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.

    Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

    Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

  • Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him

    Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
