This is nothing more than a clumsy and slightly goofy literary film about a love cursed by prophecy. The relationship with the Finnish epic "Kalevala" is just borrowed from some of the characters, but also has a sad past, and fateful mistakes have caused one tragedy after another. Kalevala is composed of a large number of Finnish folk songs about the struggle between the heroes of Kalevala and the dark kingdom of the north of Pohjola, the love expressed in the film and a poem in which the three heroes share The pursuit of a beautiful princess is slightly related. However, the bitter tragedy revealed in the film is more like a story about the hero Kulevo in the Kalevala branch: Kulevo's father was killed by his own brother, so he became an orphan since childhood. Misfortunes do not come singly, he is separated from his only sister again, and he is left alone in the forest. One day many years later, he raped a young girl, only to find out later that the other party was his sister. Such a blow made him want to die, but his mother stopped him. So he went to his uncle to take revenge and set fire to his house, but when he got home, he found that there was no one left at home, only a black dog. At this moment, Kulevo could no longer find a reason to live. He walked to the place where he raped his sister in the forest, and committed suicide by raising his sword.
*In 2000 BC, "this is not the beginning, but the end"
legend, the daughter of hell, Novaita, gave birth to 9 eggs, called fear, pain, desire, ugliness, fanaticism, hatred, greed, blindness, and the first The nine eggs have no name, it has the power to destroy the world. According to the prophecy, only the blacksmith's son, Xin Tai, can kill him and thus jump out of reincarnation to gain immortality. He has never been afraid of anything, is proficient in various skills, and just wants to live the life of an ordinary person for a day before fulfilling that prophecy.
So, he came to that desolate little village, because there were not many people left to escape, and in the dispute with the villagers, he saw Pinyu who pushed in the door. Perhaps it was only a glimpse, when he was tossing in the air, the figure standing upside down drew his gaze.
In "Kalevala", Vannaimone met the dazzling Bohea girl on the way,
"He raised his head and looked up high to the sky, he saw a brilliant rainbow, the sky There is a girl sitting on the arc, she is weaving the golden fabric, and the silver comb is squeaked."
The arrival of love is the most difficult to describe, and no one can say what kind of expression makes people's heart move , maybe it's just her embarrassed look, his ridiculous look, or nothing at all, just identified that person at first sight, and then decided to follow her whole life, and use the rest of her life to find that reason.
It can't be said how beautiful Pinyu is, everyone can see that she doesn't love Simpo. Like Bamboo Tori in "Bamboo Tale", the Oriental Princess in "Turandot", and the Bohea Girl in "Kalevara", their love is accompanied by cruel demands, if Simps can kill The devil will marry him. But when he offered Pinyu the devil's head, he found out that she loved someone else. In desperation, he did not kill the devil, but put its head in the "Shanbu", which was only when he was disheartened. A box that can only be opened when it is cold.
Nicolas Cage in "City of Angels" gave up immortality for Meg Ryan, and so did Simp, who fell into endless reincarnation for hopeless love. He said to the devil, I call you hope. As long as he can see Pinyu in his reincarnation, he will have the opportunity to make her fall in love with him again, even if it is predicted that Pinyu will fall in love with other men forever.
Isn't that what love is? Even if you don't love him, he will follow step by step and never give up. He raised the sword, solemnly like a vow at a wedding, "In order to prove my love for you, I will find you again through time and space."
*Finland after 2000 "This is not the end, just the beginning"
The departure of a girl named Lori sends Xintai into a sad mood. He was never a good blacksmith, and now everyone has abandoned him. The man who claimed to be studying "Kalevala" brought a box called "Shanbu" and said that Xintai was the son of the legendary blacksmith. He was dubious about this person, but his memory slowly reappeared along time.
Demons appear before the heroes again, and history plays out again and again in the orbit of prophecy. It mocked the hero, saying that he could not escape the prophecy. In this world, living alone is worse than dying, and he is destined to not be able to keep the woman he loves.
Why do prophecies exist? Knowing the ending, how should the story continue? Xin Tai killed the demon, and he knew that he would not be able to be reincarnated again, but he said that he would also find Pinyu through time and space, take another look, and love again.
Luo Li left the city with the jade pendant that Pinyu once wore, Xin Tai's voice echoed in her ears, this is not the end, just the beginning.
The woman also said that the tragedy of "Kalevala" was repeated over and over again, and that her "Kalevala" would be a beautiful love story.
*Find you through time and space
The constantly interspersed memory breaks the fluency of the story, and it is easy to fall into confusion if you don't read it carefully. The director's way of telling the story is not very clever, clumsy and blunt, and stammering to finish a legend. There were not many sparks in the beauty and the hero, Zhang Jingchu did not have many opportunities to express the characters, and only a few appearances could only be considered in place.
This movie basically has no stunts, acting skills, beautiful scenery, or stars, but it is filled with a strong sadness and despair, which touched my nerves abruptly.
Maybe it's because of Xin Tai's last sentence "I will find you through time and space"; maybe it's because of the hero's helplessness and despair; maybe... who knows? Finally Sintai said to the demon, I will call you "Farewell, Yesterday". Perhaps, I am also afraid of the prophecy that everyone cannot escape.
