three tests

Rated 7 points, I don't know why this drama has such a low rating? I think it's very exciting, and the storyline is also very attractive, probably because the secrets guarded by this mysterious family in Japan that have been passed down for 600 years are deeply attracted to me, and people can't extricate themselves to see to the end.

Seriously, the role of storm shadow played by Andrew Koji is really a blast. As soon as I see him, I know that he is from an extraordinary background, with a noble aura, and his shots are simply neat, especially the scene of wielding two swords and fighting. Awesome. In particular, his eyes have reached a state of ecstasy. Without words, you can know that his trust, firmness, helplessness, and disappointment are so clear and clear.

Although the setting of the whole storyline is old-fashioned, it is fascinating and interlocking and exciting. Other than that, what I want to focus on is the three tests that Snake Eyes passed.

When Snake Eyes cooperated with the big boss to plan a heroic rescue scene, he saved Tommy (Storm Shadow)'s life in a real situation. The prospective successor of the Japanese ninja samurai Lanying family, Tommy has 100% trust in Snake Eye and wants to keep him as his right-hand man, despite everyone's doubts and opposition, and wants him to become the Lanying family a member of .

However, there is no precedent for the Lanying family to accept an outsider, so they need to accept three challenges before they can be officially left as a family member.

The first challenge object is the hard master. He needs to exchange the bowl full of water in his hand for the hard master's bowl. The condition is that the water cannot be spilled, and there are four chances. It is conceivable what the outcome will be if the hard grab is done.

After losing three times, I started to calmly think about the prompt before the test, "Let go of honor, give up self, and bring harmony with selflessness and loyalty", so I realized the mystery, no longer robbed hard, went to the hard master and said to him, "hard master. , I humbly ask you to accept my bowl in exchange for yours", so the Hard Master willingly and calmly exchanged the bowl in his hand with him, although the Hard Master did not trust him very much.

The second challenge comes from the blind master, and he gave a hint: this challenge is to help you show your weaknesses

"Every fighter has weaknesses that your enemy can exploit. To avoid injury you must first understand how you hurt yourself. Most people have no control over that, so they all fail. This is not just a test of your Passing the test, it's a mirror that exposes your weaknesses"

So he used a flickering point of light to guide him to see the most vulnerable and deepest attachment in his heart, so he saw the scene when his father was killed in the illusion, and then saw his father appear and tell him that it was not his Wrong, his death was so that he could live well. He never accepted it, believing that it was caused by his inability to save his father, and then spent his life tracking down the murderer of his father.

When he came out of the illusion, and asked the blind master if he had passed the second test, the blind master admonished him to "recognize your weakness, no matter how much pain it causes you, you must unload yourself, This is the only way to overcome the third challenge"

The third test is to enter a deep well and pass the test of giant pythons. There are countless ancient giant pythons living in that well. They will be swallowed up if they are not careful, but they will never harm people with pure hearts. Your chance of survival is to empty your heart and keep it pure.

Because he infiltrated the Lanying family with an impure purpose, just to steal the ruby, so even though he tried to make himself empty, the selfish thoughts with purpose were still recognized by the giant python, and when he was about to attack him, Being rescued by Mingzi, Mingzi was able to escape the attack of the giant python entirely because she had an undisturbed loyalty to the Lanying family.

In the play, the part where they chase and shoot while riding a motorcycle is very exciting, but it's too ridiculous. Let's just watch an animated movie.

Snake Eye is such a powerful character, he is completely a thug with developed limbs and a simple mind. After so many years of investigation, he did not even think about finding out the identity of his father, why he was killed, and the organization behind the killer. After a long time, he actually killed him. The organization to which the father and enemy belonged was working, and after paying a huge price—trust and loyalty, when he finally faced the father-killer who had brought him a half-life nightmare, he discovered that he had gone in the wrong direction and let the killer go. , he deserves the IQ tax he has paid for so many years.

As for the great power of the ruby ​​guarded by the Lanying family, it is equivalent to the mini version effect of the five gems of Thanos gathered together. How could it be handed over to such a family to guard, instead of being saved by the state. Even if it belongs to this family, the temptation and threat of red fruit is enough to make any party or country eye it and kill it. I don't think I can forgive this bug.

The hard master and the blind master seem to be very intelligent. They are not natives. Japanese samurai are very particular about the samurai spirit and family heritage. However, if they want to protect them, they still have to find foreign aid, but they are very lovable, haha.
