Because of the epidemic, the university cannot start school. As a nostalgic post-90s generation, I watched old classic movies at home, especially re-watched many old movies of Jackie Chan, especially after watching this "Myth" After that, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Speaking of which, my initial impression of this film was the theme song of "Myth" I heard on the VCD player at home when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school (end of 2005), that is, "Endless Love" sung by Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun. I don't know why. The name became "Beautiful Myth". In fact, there is another version of "Beautiful Myth" sung by Sun Nan and Han Hong, but the lyrics of this version are different from "Endless Love" (the song is the same). It may be due to preconceived reasons, so far I still prefer Jackie Chan and Kim Hee Sun's "Endless Love", I think it is very simple and sincere.
Although I heard the song and watched a few clips of the movie in the song's MV, the complete movie was watched on TV a year or two later. The primary school student at the time couldn't fully appreciate the regrets expressed in it after watching it, but simply thought the movie was good. It may be that people have become more sensitive because they have experienced a lot of things. After watching this movie again yesterday, I felt that something was stuck in there, so I had this post-viewing feeling, and I hoped to put my thoughts in my heart. Pour it out, it should be more comfortable.
As the name of the movie says, the whole story (especially the reincarnation and immortality) is destined to be divorced from the real history, so we as audiences should not stick to picking out the historical faults, but should appreciate it. The plot of the film. At the beginning of the film, Meng Yi, played by Jackie Chan, led the troops to greet the escort and escort the relatives. When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, I was deeply impressed that Yu Shu and Meng Yi, played by Kim Hee Sun, had a look at each other. Ah), but unexpectedly the North Korean (historians, don’t be rude, I know that there was no North Korea in the traditional sense in Qin Dynasty), who was engaged to Yu Shu at this time, came to rob his relatives, so in the subsequent process, Meng Yi desperately She went to rescue and protect Princess Yushu, whether it was holding the rope on the edge of the cliff to prevent the burning carriage from falling off the cliff, or jumping to save Yushu when she fell off the cliff, or willingly put down in front of the enemy. The weapon was exchanged for Yu Shu's life, and the back was guarded by the cold at the entrance of the cave until his whole body froze. Yu Shu naturally felt this time and again to save and protect each other with his life, and at the same time, he was willing to entrust himself to the other party in his heart. But love is definitely not one-way. Yu Shu also saved Meng Yi time and time again, and paid for him time and time again - stitching up Meng Yi's wounds with her own hair, and using her thin body to warm Meng Yi in the cold winter . It can be said that they have saved each other, warmed each other, and are willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. How can such love not be the most indestructible? Therefore, compared with Jack's hesitant actions when the underground palace collapsed at the end of the film, Yu Shu, who has gone away, can clearly feel that it is not Meng Yi who is willing to jump off the cliff for himself, nor is it the Meng Yi he loves deeply, he is just Jack. , Disappointment and sadness all surfaced on his face, it was really heartbreaking to see.
After Meng Yi and Yu Shu successfully survived the most difficult situation, the two also began to return to Qin State. This period of return is probably the happiest time for the two of them. There is no etiquette restraint, no intrigue, and Yu Shu, who is full of happiness in his heart, danced a dance exclusively for Meng Yi, which made me both moved and distressed ( I feel bad for Meng Yi's sentence "Only the King of Qin can watch you dance"). Finally, after the two arrived at the Great Wall, this happy time also came to an end. At this time, the emotional Yu Shu suggested that the two should elope and live a happy life. Meng Yi, who thought more, might worry about Yu Shu's future safety, or he might Worrying about the safety of the Yushu people, she politely rejected the proposal. Facing the disappointed Yushu, Meng Yi encouraged her to live well, and Yushu promised to live well for him in the future. Seeing this passage, I was very emotional. In fact, it was not only Yu Shu who was disappointed and powerless at this time, but Meng Yi was also the same.
At the end of the two-person story, Meng Yi bids farewell to Yu Shu, Yu Shu watched Meng Yi leave, Yu Shu's eyes seemed to make me feel Yu Shu's deep worry, and sure enough, Meng Yi died in the battle of infighting. Above, it is very sad and tragic. But Yu Shu, who didn't see it with her own eyes, still firmly believed that Meng Yi would come back, so she took the elixir and waited in the underground palace, sticking to the sentence to live well for him.
Later, Jack broke into the underground palace and fainted on the ground. After seeing the long-awaited face and the wound on his arm, Yu Shu determined that this was the Meng Yi she had been waiting for for a long time. Yu Shu, who watched "Meng Yi" for a long time in the carriage, shed tears, and the tears fell on Jack's face. Although he had the memory of his past life but did not have the true feelings, Jack could only hesitantly respond to Yu Shu's embrace (here The real name praised Uncle Long's acting skills). Afterwards, the two of them roamed in the underground palace. This short period of time was so cruel to Yu Shu's happiness. When I watched it, my heart was really uncomfortable.
The brief relationship was finally broken. William also died in the mercury after the Dragon Ball was broken. Yu Shu, who heard the conversation between the two, was still reluctant to face the truth, so he confirmed his identity to Jack. After Meng Yi's answer, Yu Shu's heart was broken. She couldn't imagine how brokenhearted she was. She faced Jack without hesitation and flew towards the center of the collapsed underground palace. Looking at the underground palace that was about to collapse and the stone gate that was about to close, Jack hesitated and did not dare to move forward. This situation silently proved that this person was just Jack with Meng Yi's memory. In fact, facing Jack instead of flying with her back, Yu Shu probably still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hoped that this man was really Meng Yi and would really jump for her, but unfortunately it wasn't.
When I was watching "Myth" in elementary school, I was thinking why Jack didn't lie to Yu Shu that he was Meng Yi and took her out of the underground palace. After all, he also has the appearance and memory of his previous life. They should have a good time after they go out. Be happy, it is better than the ending full of regrets. But now I think the theme of this movie is regret, regret that Meng Yi died in battle and couldn't come back, regret that Yu Shukong stayed for thousands of years and couldn't wait for him. But if there are no such regrets, it is probably that Meng Yi has surrendered and returned, or that Yu Shu has given up waiting and will be done. But stubbornness is Meng Yi's background color, otherwise the returned Meng Yi is not Meng Yi, and similarly, deep love and loyalty are what moved us to Yu Shu, otherwise she would not be Yu Shu, after all. She loves that person, not that kind of person! Therefore, regret is the best ending of this movie. It is this ending that sublimates the images of Meng Yi and Yu Shu, and makes our love story even more touching!
It can be considered that I have been in the world for more than 20 years and accompanied the earth to revolve around the sun more than 20 times. I have some regrets to stay, but when I face these regrets, I can’t help but feel a little downcast. , I feel how I should have been in the beginning, but sometimes I wonder if it is not regret that shaped me now, regret is the result of a choice, there is no right or wrong in the choice itself, only when it is placed on the corresponding individual Right or wrong, so choosing A can be right or wrong, choosing A is right now, and it may be wrong in the future. So when we thought that Yu Shu and Jack would come out together, there would be no regrets, but we didn't know that it was Yu Shu's biggest regret that came out!
I really envy this pair of lovers who love each other deeply, especially this regret shows their deep love. Maybe they have been together forever under Jiuquan. I finally have a little comfort when I think of it as an audience here.
PS: I highly recommend everyone to go to station B to watch the behind-the-scenes special of "Myth" (nearly 2 hours in length). After watching it, you will be surprised that whether it is the burning carriage on the edge of the cliff or the underground cave in the cold winter, it is a real shot, thank you The hard work of all the staff, especially the dedicated actors, is what brought such an excellent work to our childhood!
