The eternal battle between angels and demons

For the first time writing a film review, please forgive me for any flaws. First of all, most of the friends who watched this movie complained that it was too long. As a movie, it is indeed too long, but you can regard "Treasure Island" as a drama, so that you will be balanced. Because if the plot is compressed too much, it will affect the story connotation of the film, it will not perfectly reflect the humanistic care in the film, and it is more likely to distort the core of the story. Therefore, it takes such a long time to tell a complete story. I think it is worth it.
Secondly, I watched this movie after watching the original work of "Treasure Island". Compared with the original work, the film’s understanding of the story has risen by more than one level, because friends who have read the original work know that the original work is too gentleman. The movie takes its essence and removes its dross, adopting its storyline, and embarking on a different spiritual adventure about salvation.
In terms of plot, it basically follows the plot of the original, but it is not as black as the original, and white is white. If a person's identity is a robber, it will not be punishable by heaven, and will never be restored; if it is a gentleman, it is the incarnation of justice, invincible. The film completely subverted this concept, I think it is an interpretation of the humanistic spirit. The lens focuses not only on treasures, but also on justice and evil, but also on people themselves. Some people say that this is a preaching film. Yes, this is a preaching film. It's just that it's worth thinking about whether the preaching for such a long time is worth thinking about. Everyone has their own answers in their hearts. But I think that from the perspective of humanistic spirit, this film is very classic.
In terms of details, the film added the plot of Jim's mother, which I think is very good, making the story more full. The portrayal of the characters' hearts in the film is a bit flawed. Although I have tried my best, the reasons for the choice between good and evil, money and principles are not very sufficient, and the persuasiveness is not strong enough. Facing the wealth of an enemy rich, facing the joy of suffering and happiness, and facing the upcoming happiness, believe me, even after the baptism of blood, even if there is a principled bondage, even if there is the struggle of an angel in the heart, these are far from resisting. The temptation in front of me, even if it is fatal, is just that the director abruptly put the plot back on the right track, which is also the shortcoming of this film.
Finally, I just want to say that in everyone’s heart there is an angel who always guards you, but the devil only needs to do one thing, and that is to blind your eyes. Whether to brighten your eyes or abandon your original intention is always a mystery. .
