Wonder Woman 1984, The Law of Attraction and Eastern Philosophy

"Wonder Woman 1984" has only been released for two days and has received little praise. The movie is 2.5 hours long. It is the only superhero movie this year, and it is also one of the few theatrical movies, but it did not bring too many surprises to people.

Wonder Woman Benja Gal Gadot is still beautiful, healthy and sexy, and both men and women want to give her an extra star when they see it. However, the procrastination and illogicality of the plot and the lack of excitement are still unavoidable commercial flaws.

The movie itself is put aside for the time being, and I would like to talk about the main theme of the movie: leveraging strength, not wanting to be strong, and making a wish, it must be repaid—the core of these ideas is very oriental and Buddhist.

The opposite of Eastern philosophy is the mysterious power that triggers the conflict in the plot of the movie. As long as you hold that mysterious gem that has been blessed by divine power and make your wish, it will come true. It's a lot like the Law of Attraction that swept the internet: You only have to make a sincere wish and you'll get what you want.

It's just that people don't know at the beginning that the wishing stone allows you to fulfill a wish, but you also have to lose something at the same time. Wonder Woman wishes her boyfriend's resurrection, but her superpowers are weakened; Leopard Woman wishes to be as powerful as Wonder Woman, but loses her happiness and self; Like Trump's oil tycoon who wishes to become a wishing stone, everyone can hold him The hand fulfills his wish, but the whole world is thrown into chaos.

Therefore, at the end of the movie, Wonder Woman chooses to give up her wish and leave her boyfriend to complete her mission to save the world, complete the self-transformation without desire, and tell the humanoid madman's wishing stone the secret of wishing: make a wish It is to be repaid!

Perhaps a little Buddhist teaching can be added to the secrets of wishing and the law of attraction, which can be summed up as follows:

1. Have good intentions. To be blessed by the God of truth and love will be happiness, otherwise it will be a deal with the devil.

2. No desire and no desire is the most powerful.

3. If your wish comes true, remember to share this blessing with others.

4. Respect the order of the world. When your wish cannot be realized, it may be a better outcome for you and the whole world

In Hollywood movies, it is rare that Eastern philosophy is better than Western metaphysics, and it is seriously doubted that Eastern capital has occupied and dominated DC.

    At a time when the genre of Chaoying comics has been pushed to the extremes of soap operas and serious dramas, Director Pai brings Chaoying movies back to the era of Reeve's version of Superman with a very innocent brushstroke. Yes, once again, the first The strengths and the so-called shortcomings of one film are magnified at the same time in this film. It is like at the end of this bad year, struggling to tear open a sunshine gap for the audience on the big screen. It is romantic, positive, full of hope, and profound. It is humorous, but it is not the kind of superhero movie that some people expect to see, which will quickly screen the audience into different categories - want to watch a popcorn blockbuster, or want to enjoy a movie, if it is the latter, I believe Wonder Woman 1984 Will Impress You
