"Walk with God 2" is an entertainment film produced by South Korea, adapted from the comic of the same name by cartoonist Zhou Haomin. After the sexual assault scandal broke out by the actor Oh Da-shu in the play, the sequel needs to be deleted and remake, finally on Father's Day. On that day, I enjoyed the sequel movie as scheduled. With the first episode of the world view that unveiled the seven layers of hell, coupled with the curious life experience of the messenger of the underworld, the sequel lacks the drama of the love between mother and child that makes people cry, but is more inclined to rational discussion. Different from the more action scenes in the first episode, the sequel obviously has more literary and drama. By reviewing the stories of these characters in depth, the complex entanglements between the three people over the past thousand years are peeled like an onion, and the "causes" With the themes of "fate" and "atonement and forgiveness", the visual effects of the sequel are still exciting, and the hidden line at the end seems to have the shooting schedule for the third episode.
The plot continues after the reincarnation of his brother Jin Zihong in "Walk with the Gods". In order to help the nobleman Jin Xihong reincarnate as an unjust dead ghost, Jiang Lin's messenger negotiated two harsh conditions with Yan Wang. It was from the Yang Jie’s family god Cheng-Zhen (Ma Dongshi) that he brought the dying grandfather Xu Chunsan to the underworld for trial, otherwise the three underworld messengers would have to give up the opportunity to extradite 49 nobles to be reincarnated and stay forever. Underworld.
Apart from the accidental death of Jin Xiuhong in the first episode of "Walking with God", the story mainly focuses on the process of Jin Zihong's trial in various levels of hell, whether it is to save more injuries and indirectly kill his colleagues, or write letters in the name of his dead father. To encourage my daughter, I can see that everything is not the duality of good and evil, either black or white, but each has its own deep meaning with two sides. However, "Walk with God 2" is no longer entangled with Jin Xiuhong's deeds during his lifetime. All the complicated trials have become more interesting. The only thing that is concerned is "whether Jin Xiuhong really died unjustly". So instead of "Walking with God 1", the messenger finds reasons for the nobleman to have to do, this film turns to look for evidence that the two surviving colleagues did not deliberately kill themselves from the perspective of the nobleman standing in opposition to the messenger. Involving Jin Xiuhong's 100% belief in the touching friendship of his brothers, it also shows whether a person will desperately engage in terrible behavior against his nature after a major change. In addition, the story of "Walk with the Gods 1" was divided into the messengers who were originally a three-person group due to the unjust dead ghosts who disturbed the hell. Li Dechun took Jin Zihong in the underworld, and Jiang Lin went to Yangjie alone to investigate the truth. Two lines go hand in hand. However, "Walk with the Gods 2" is completely the opposite. Jiang Lin stays in the underworld to continue his mission to the unjust dead ghosts, while Jie and Li go to the Yang Realm to deal with Xu Chunsan's delay in going to the underworld due to the guardianship of the family god. The problem is the formation of the "four-line narrative" where the two worlds of Yin and Yang and the three messengers intertwined in the past. In contrast, the length of Jin Xiuhong, the protagonist of the second episode, has been compressed a lot, even to a certain extent. It has also become a tool to promote the main story.
When a person reincarnates, he will lose his memory. That is a gift from God, because there is no need to worry and regret for the previous life. Among the three messengers of the underworld, only Jiang Lin has spent a thousand years with the memory of his previous life. It is a blessing to Li Dechun and Li Dechun, who has lost his memory, but it is a curse to Jiang Lin. For thousands of years, Jiang Lin must face the two people who died because of him, always reminding him of what he did before his death, but he could not apologize to the two who lost his memory. In the traction of the dead again and again, see all the good and evil in the world....
However, just like the two sentences of "Walking with God", "Don't want to do what you should do when you are alive" and "Only when you have the courage to apologize, can you be truly forgiven." These two sentences still run through. The main theme of the film. Because the love and hatred of the three messengers for thousands of years is so complicated and difficult to distinguish, the audience only discovered that Jiang Lin’s insistence on Jin Xiuhong was caused by his own fault. The beast siege, faced with the mistakes he made, but couldn’t repent and make up. Maybe this is the real hell.” So what he has done so far is not only to let Jin Xiuhong get the truth he deserves, but also to avoid Park. The lieutenant walked towards the same mistake as his own remorse for a thousand years. For Jiang Lin, this journey is a road of self-atonement. Whether it is for the grievances, Li Dechun, or Yan Wang's father, although he did not explain it in person, his behavior alone is enough to show everything...
Many people commented that the second episode is more plot-thicker than the first, but the first episode is more sensational and tearful than the sequel! In conclusion, the theme of "Walking with God 2" and "Walking with God 1" are in the same line. The first episode is based on mother and child. Family affection serves as a window for venting. The sequel uses the repressed and unsolvable emotions between father and son, the rivalry between brothers for father's love, and the unwilling relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, all contain the desire and pursuit of patriarchal care by children and grandchildren. Secondly, Jiang Lin and Jin Zihong both had the idea of killing their parents, and both of them committed the crime of family relationship; Jiang Lin killed his younger brother to solve his grievances, Jin Zihong hurt his younger brother Jin Xiuhong; Jiang Lin and Park Wuxin both watched people buried alive. The plot arrangement of the movie has the same effect and echoes before and after.
The final result of "Walking with God 2" still must depend on the overall presentation of the movie. It’s a pity that it is too difficult to narrate the facts in many lines. The director chose to put the ghosts of Jianglin and Jin Xiuhong on the wall in the early part of the movie, accompanied by many scenes such as human fish bait and tribute to the "Jujutsu World", and in Yang Jie uses Jie, Li Yucheng's humorous jokes and deliberately created humor to promote the plot. In other words, unlike the first episode, the sequel does not have the continuity of "blindly to the end." This time, the processing method not only breaks the film's development stage into a fragmented and popular, but also affects the degree of emotion that the entire line is intertwined with.
However, despite the many shortcomings listed above, Yu's sequel still retains its quality and intentions in plot design. Even if his plot is not as moving as the first episode, the layers of hidden meaning are definitely worthy of you. Savour carefully in the interlaced plot.... With the character construction of the three hell messengers in "Walk with God 1", the audience's attention to the characters of the sequel is achieved, the drama of the great reconciliation in all the story lines converges, and the plot reversal arrangement when the ending egg is announced. People immediately have the intertwined causality and strong stamina for watching movies, so this film is still a masterpiece.
Note: The last episode of Resolving the Resentment states that if you reborn, you must become a rich second generation, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in the "Hell Korea", and Jin Zihong wants to suffocate his mother and then decide himself, and even his younger brother is not willing to reincarnate after his death. The words again explain the situation of Korean society. Just like the irony of the government’s lines in the play, "A person with integrity and conviction will become a tramp at Seoul Station."
In addition, the movie mentions the Khitan attack on Goryeo. This happened three times in history, from 993 to 1019, which can be inferred from the background of the film. As far as the plot of the movie mentions that Goryeo repulsed the Khitan, the three wars should have appeared in compliance with the situation, but from the background of the movie "Walk with God", the year 2018 is 1018. , Which coincides with the time of the third war, and at the same time has the same surname as their national heroes Jiang Hanzan and Jiang Minzhan. At that time, there were frequent wars between Korea and Khitan. At that time, Jurchen was not strong and was caught between the two countries to survive. After the first Khitan War in Korea, Korea sent troops to attack the Jurchen forces south of the Yalu River. Jiang Wen in the movie Zhi and Jiang Lin were the generals of Goryeo. They repelled the Khitans, while Bai Lang was the adopted son of Jiang Wenzhi. Li Dechun’s previous life represented the Jurchen people who had been on the run in that era. These are stories written with a true historical background. .
