The messenger Jiang Lin has been busy for a thousand years to erase his memories. If you haven't been spoiled yet, take advantage of your choice, please carefully decide whether to read it.
Again, there are major spoilers below, involving the core burden of the film.
The story immediately follows the previous one. The three envoys took Jin Xiuhong to fight with King Yama's men in the quicksand hell. When King Yama appeared, Jiang Lin offered to help Jin Xiuhong reincarnate. He was the 49th nobleman and insisted that he did not die by an accident. The two films should have been shot in sets, but one of the judges, Oh Dal-soo, was shot because of the South Korean metoo. The actors have changed, and the lowly cute temperament of the judge duo remains the same as before.
King Yan Luo and Jiang Lin reached an agreement: The underworld accepts Jin Xiuhong’s unjust death, but the messengers must help him go to the earth to hook a soul that is difficult to hook. In the previous movie, there are Yin and Yang eyes, and Jiang Lin can be seen, and always because of this. The grandfather Xu Chunsan, who feels that his deadline is approaching. He is dependent on his grandson Dongxian. The old man's life had already expired, and because of the guardian of the family god, all the envoys from the underworld who had come before were beaten away.
Jiang Lin's team was once again divided into two groups. He personally took Jin Xiuhong through hell to accept trial, and Dechun was responsible for the seducing of grievances and Dechun. Why does this captain dislike his two subordinates so much, and have to split up with them at every turn? The specific reason will be revealed later.
Jieyuanmai and Dechun came to the old man Xu Chunsan's house. If you want to succeed in ecstasy, you have to solve it first, and the quickest solution is to destroy his altar. Jie Mai easily found the jar and drank the suspicious liquid in it confidently. At this time, Cheng Zao appeared and told Jie Yuan Mai that he was drinking Dabu boy urine, that the jar was a chamber pot, and his altar was elsewhere.
Cheng Zuo was a messenger from the underworld thousands of years ago, and he was responsible for the introduction of the current three-member team of messengers. His qualifications are older than King Yama, and it's okay to complain about the overly retro hairstyle of his former colleague. Chengzao easily held on to understand the channel of grievance and Dechun, and snatched the name tag for ecstasy. He hoped that the envoys would be able to give another 40 days of grace, so that the old man would watch his grandson go to school, and then he would stop intervening in this matter, and they would seduce others as they please.
Before the official fight, the two messengers had come to step on the spot. In that period, the child played in the foreground, and made paintings in the background. Through the obvious contrast between speed and slow, the agility of the children was emphasized, and the message that Chen was a painter was very natural. In the evening, when Chengzao reconciled the grievances and fought against each other, another effect similar to the fast silver time was used. While the two people were fighting, the contents of the room slowly fell from the air. However, based on the fast silver time, the director let the characters further highlight their speed through instant movement, which is a bit superfluous, but dilutes the inherent effects of the two expressions.
Resolving grievances and Dechun report to Jianglin. At this time, Jiang Lin is playing Bundle Play with Jin Xiuhong. He was going to tie Jin Xiuhong to the mast, and then let the mast lengthen to become a fishing rod, stretched out into the Styx to go fishing. The Styx fish looked like Miss Demonion, the favorite object of Xinba Hao.
In addition, there is a kind of oversized strange fish. It just so happens that one of the trailers posted in front of today’s movie is "Megatooth" starring Li Bingbing and Guo Da. The big weird fish feels similar to it, but it’s even more disgusting, with people on its back. Face.
After listening to the report of the grievances, Jiang Lin felt that there was nothing wrong with it, 49-40, and there was still 9 days left, but the grievances were resolved because the math was taught by the physical education teacher, so he didn't calculate it at the beginning. After reporting on the work, Jie Mai and Dechun went back to monitor Xu Chun's three family.
The usury came to the door. Although Chengzao was very fierce when facing the messenger of the underworld, he couldn't do anything with humans and was pushed into the toilet. Jie Yingmai came forward to propose a deal. He and Dechun were responsible for protecting the two grandparents. By the way, they thought of ways to cultivate the children's ability to live independently after the death of their grandfather. Chengzao wanted to exchange the sealed memories of him and Dechun.
Although there was no high-five, it was considered a deal. This part of resolving grievances and slinging against Muggle humans, on the contrary, the fantasy fighting with higher bit effect concentration looks more enjoyable.
In accordance with the agreement, Cheng Zao told the story of the two of them. Solving the grievances is the legendary warrior White Wolf of Goryeo 1000 years ago, who specializes in dealing with the Jurchens at the border. Dechun is a Jurchen girl whose parents were killed by the White Wolf. She raises other Jurchen orphans alone. Later, White Wolf discovered Dechun and the orphans, but out of guilt for her, he decided to help her take care of the orphans, teach them to shoot arrows and hunt, and distribute their army's rations to the orphans. In the end, these things that Jieweimai secretly did were discovered secretly by his boss, which directly led to his death. When talking about the blood feuds of his parents, Cheng Zao specially reminded Jiemai and Dechun, saying that the following plot would be even more exciting than the [Beep] War. At the time, I thought what he meant was not only stealing military rations for the orphans, but also cooking egg fried rice for them.
At the same time, Jiang Lin in the underworld also revealed his life experience under Jin Xiuhong's interrogation. His father was a general of the Goryeo Bee Martial Arts Class 1,000 years ago, and later adopted a Khitan orphan and treated him as his own. In this movie, whether it is a Khitan or a Jurchen, he speaks modern Chinese Mandarin as soon as he debuts. Koreans have a sense of "fifty-six ethnic groups, fifty-six flowers, fifty-six ethnic groups, brothers and sisters are a family."
His younger brother made a serious mistake in a critical combat mission, causing his father to die in battle. Jiang Lin later inherited his father's inheritance. He firmly believed that if he was not of my race, his heart would be different, and he suspected that his brother killed his father on purpose.
While telling stories to Jin Xiuhong, Jiang Lin had to deal with the demons of the two, especially Jin Xiuhong's. Nailzihu, who had passed the judicial exam eight times in a row, kept a hippy smile, saying that he was not afraid of anything. Halfway through the road, he changed his words and said that what he was most afraid of was the dinosaurs in Zhurong Park, whether it was sneaky walking around. Velociraptor, or Tyrannosaurus rex who bites children innocently, he is afraid. Later, his fear materialized, and he started chasing two people and biting him indiscriminately. In the end even the mosasaur in the pig world appeared and swallowed two people. Riding the dragon ride, the two went straight to the ice hell.
At the beginning of the trial, Jiang Lin summoned the witness Yuan Dongyan, who was the caring soldier who had escaped with his gun. He pressed Yuan Dongyan if he saw the body move while burying Jin Xiuhong. Yuan Dongyan couldn't bear the pressure, had a nervous breakdown, and his life value in Yangjian instantly returned to zero. As the witness died, Jin Xiuhong almost suffered a quick freeze. Jiang Lin resorted to the old method to request overlapping punishment with the next level, so he set off to the lava hell where the murder trial was conducted, which was the hell where Jin Xiuhong's brother first cleared the level in the previous movie.
This time, the witnesses that Jiang Lin summoned were not only Lieutenant Park, Jin Xiuhong's commander in the army, but also King Yama, who seemed to be out of touch with Jin Xiuhong. Jin Xiuhong felt that Jiang Lin was so obsessed with his case and his purpose was not simple. He believed that there were hidden things in his narration about his life experience.
The two envoys in Yangjian are also slowly approaching the final truth. While listening to the story, they followed Chengzao to take care of their grandfather and grandson. Xu Chunsan lives in an old house to be demolished, and it stands to reason that there should be a compensation for demolition. When asked where the compensation money had gone, Sung Joo hesitated and said that he had taken it to an investment fund. It was 100 million won, which was a loss of more than 70%. But he firmly believes that as long as the Chinese stock market recovers, it will definitely make a fortune. It seems that our stock market is not only capable of kimchi, but also kimchi, and it is also a god-level thousand-year-old kimchi.
The solution that Cheng Zao and the other three/three gods finally came up with was that Cheng Zao came forward to adopt the children. Finally, the application was approved, but when they returned home, they found that the demolition team came in and beat them up while the three of them were away. Cheng Zao believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place. He put his altar together with ordinary pickle jars, but was broken by the demolition team. He was clever and was mistaken by cleverness, and he was going to be wiped out soon.
While dying, Cheng Zao talked about the ending of Jie Ren Mai and Dechun's previous lives. Jiemaimai was identified as a traitor by his boss because he misappropriated military food to support the Hu people, and he threw it into the woods to feed the wolves. This way of tying people to a thick wooden stick, I always feel as if I have heard it somewhere.
Jiewenmai survived from the wolf teeth, exhausted his last strength and ran to remind Dechun to flee with the orphans, and the large army will soon be killed. He confessed to Dechun for the crime of killing her parents, and gave Dechun the white wolf skin he had wrapped around her neck, and urged her to run quickly and stay behind by herself. The last sentence of Cheng Zao is to remind you to solve the grievances, you can try to look at the things back then.
Dechun's reconciliation and grievances, who had swept away the obstacles, couldn't bear to deceive the souls of the three old people, Xu Chun. In terms of sensationalism, this film is much more restrained than the previous one. Sacrifice here could have made a big tear, but the film has been simplified. The actor Ma Dong-seok, who is made up, was previously known to Chinese audiences for his "Travel to Busan". I think he is Korea's Dashi Johnson, the same cute and big guy. However, there is the biggest difference between the two: No matter how much he tossed himself in the movie, Dashi Johnson can't die; no matter how stable Ma Dongxi looks in the movie, he may suddenly have lunch.
The more sensational part of this passage is that when the two messengers were about to say the name of the old man, the camera shot the old man with his arm around the child. Of course, there is generally another reason for the sensational effect here, that is, the most important plot reversal of the film is about to happen, and its emotional impact is crushing.
Jie Mai accidentally saw the notebook of Dong Hyun's child, and thought of the last words of Sung Joo, and suddenly discovered the truth of the matter. Dongxian is learning new words. While Chengzao is telling stories, he writes the new words that he heard in his notebook. Jiemeimei found that the name of the boss in the story was "Secret Words", but on the contrary, it was "Jiang Lin". It was their current team, Changjiang Lin, who killed Jiewenmai and Dechun back then.
At this time, Jiang Lin also launched a final defense in the underworld. He did not directly talk about Jin Xiuhong's case, but first confessed his crime. Because he was jealous of his younger brother's preference by his father, he cruelly murdered his father. After his younger brother was defeated, Jiang Lin had a chance to rescue his father from the dead, but he deliberately turned a blind eye. Later, he used his power to suppress his younger brother, and finally found a suitable excuse to personally kill his younger brother to solve his grievances. But he himself was attacked by Dechun who came later, and died together with the other party.
In fact, the biggest suspense of the film is not difficult to guess. The first half of the film never shows the face of the adult brother. It is easy for viewers with a little experience to target suspicious targets. And the symbol of "wolf" also has a more obvious directivity-except for the Stark family in Winter City, the most famous person who uses the wolf as the totem is the Khitan. But there is one of the biggest interference factors in the film, that is, the contrast between the grievance-relieving character after amnesia is too strong from that of the past. Jiang Lin's memory is coherent, so there is no problem of personality changes; although Dechun has amnesia, it is not significantly different from 1000 years ago. This is certified by Cheng Zao himself and confirmed by the audience; only Resolving grievances is a wonderful thing. Whether it is the younger brother of both civil and military, or the white wolf who kills him, it is difficult to associate it with this teaser who dreams of reincarnation as the prince of the Samsung Group.
Especially with regard to both civil and martial arts. Looking at the calmness of his younger brother in his previous life when he played chess with his elder brother, who would have imagined that after 1,000 years he would not even be able to count on elementary school arithmetic problems like 49-40? In addition, since he is so awesome, what is the truth behind the failure that led to his father's tragic death? Jiang Lin has been leading the audience to believe that his brother is a traitor. This is his explanation of the failure, but it is also the only explanation in the movie.
So we had to make up our own brains. The failure of Jie Meimai's leadership in the battle was probably because he was too kind to the enemy. Later, the guilt that caused his father's death in the battle turned him into a white wolf who killed innocent civilians. It was not until he met Dechun that he regained his own nature and returned to benevolence. Such a character arc, if it is Shunxu, the audience can actually easily catch it. However, in order to use identity to create suspense, the film deliberately breaks up the part 1,000 years ago. In terms of character understanding, it may create some obstacles for the audience.
The experience of growing up 1,000 years ago once again proved that the children of the Khitan nationality are always very promising when they grow up after being adopted by other ethnic groups. By the way, Mr. Jin Yong’s "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is really a strange book that is often read. The latest news makes people think again of the respected and ethical abbot and Ye Erniang in the book. It's a wonderful thing.
Closer to home. The three who died at the same time thousands of years ago were chosen by King Yama as the messengers of the underworld. Only Jiang Lin, as the captain, kept the memories of his lifetime, with the intention of asking him to apologize to his younger brother and Dechun and ask for their forgiveness. Jiang Lin told his experience in front of the witness Lieutenant Park. The latter was infected, admitted the fact that Jin Xiuhong was deliberately buried alive, and asked Jin Xiuhong's forgiveness. Lieutenant Park’s scene switching between the underworld and the one under the sun has the feeling of "Inception".
The circumstances of the case were revealed, and Jin Xiuhong was allowed to reincarnate. However, King Yama valued his experience in the eight judicial examinations and hoped that he would stay and work with him.
The truth was revealed thousands of years ago. Of course, for the big brother Jiang Lin, he still chose to forgive him to resolve his grievances.
Elder Xu Chunsan received six years of extra grace in the underworld, and could accompany his grandson to finish elementary school before reporting to the underworld. The even greater good news is that, affected by the strong rebound of the Chinese stock market, the fund products of Chengzaobu are finally about to rise sharply. It is rare for an international friend to have such confidence in our stock market.
The movie is divided into two lines. When it comes to the end, family soap operas from a thousand years ago dominated the original two main lines. There is nothing wrong with the line of Jin Xiuhong in the underworld, it is very well integrated with Jiang Lin's own knot, and at the same time it is resolved. But the human line is more sloppy. Jie Mai and Dechun were originally here to help Dongxian get the conditions to survive after leaving his grandfather, but in the end he forced his grandfather to continue his life for six years. What is the basis for this? If this approach is feasible, then the task of the sun should not exist from the beginning. Of course, from a personal point of view, I am definitely willing to see less life and death. Perhaps the director also changed the ending of grandpa's death in order to avoid another wave of sensationalism at the end.
The ending egg is that the King Yama 1000 years ago asked Jiang Lin's reconciled father to take over his job. The father agreed, on the condition that he inherits the appearance of the original King Yama. The co-worked mansion was contracted by their Lao Jiang family. The father, the eldest son, the youngest son, and the daughter-in-law all worked in this system, turning the mansion into a family business.
As mentioned above, the film has a direct tribute to the "Jurassic" series, and there are also fragments that imitate the "Inception". But in fact, when I watched the first part, the first thing I thought of was "Dream Quest". The two films have similar release times, so there should be no problem of learning from each other. The most imaginative parts of "Walk with God" and "Dream Traveling" are the construction of the underworld. It’s a pity that "Walking with God" only shows us a few courts, and the beginning of the army gate where you swipe your card to enter the station. In addition, there is not much display of the life state of the undead, and many rules are also present and edited. Feel. However, I still have to say that "Walk with God" is a fairly neat movie, which respects Hollywood's mainstream genre film creation rules and combines local culture and customs; it has both Korean humor and Korean sensationalism. The two "Walk with God" are both films that can give people the full satisfaction of watching movies, and they are worth learning as a template. Some people may think that we will not allow such subjects to be photographed at all. In fact, it may not be necessary. Changing the angle may clear the way. If you want to remake "Walk with God" in China, you can choose Lieutenant Park's perspective, and finally wake up to find that it is all a dream, and all difficulties will be solved.
The ending of "Walking with God 1" was rather mournful. Although the two brothers had their souls at rest, their mother was left alone in the world after all and continued to live a life of poverty. The ending of "Walk with God 2" is much brighter. Not only did the grandpa gain an extra six years of life, but the appreciation of the fund also made a fortune. According to the setting in the film, he and Jin Zihong and Jin Xiuhong's mother are old neighbors. When Mother Jin moved out, Dechun said, "You must return." I thought she was suggesting that Mother Jin would come back to live with Grandpa in the end. In fact, that ended well. The two old people were each other's companions and became a financially independent old couple. Six years later, when the grandfather is dead, Mother Kim can be Dong Hyun's grandmother and continue to take care of him until the child reaches adulthood. This is the real reunion.
