Before telling the story of the movie, let’s talk about the difference between ancient Egyptian mythology and Greek mythology. The most fundamental thing is that most of the gods in ancient Egyptian mythology are human and animal heads. Ra, the sun god, the sun is his body; Set, the god of the desert, with long ears, a curved and protruding mouth, and a jackal-headed body; Nephthys, also the wife of Set, the god of fertility, with a pair of very beautiful wings , with the mother of Horus, the former queen of Egypt as sisters; Anubis, the god of death, the head of a wolf orc; Horus, the god of the sky, in the shape of an eagle head and a human body. I don't know what the father of Horus, the king of Egypt looked like at that time, because he was slaughtered not long after the opening of the movie. The ancient Egyptians believed that life is composed of the world and the underworld. They believed that the body is only the container of the soul. After death, the soul will be resurrected and the death of a person will only enter another world. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians paid special attention to the underworld. They built tombs and built pyramids. Mummies were created to keep the bodies from decaying. Because of the close connection between human beings and animals, the huge animal statues in front of the pyramids were created in the hope that the dead would also be protected by animal gods in another world. The reason why the ancient Egyptians worshiped various animals and plants was not only because of their harsh environment (Ancient Egypt was surrounded by the sea and desert) The fear in my heart should be more about the tenacious vitality that animals and plants can show in the desert environment. This is also what appears in the movie. After death, people need to use their own property to compare with the feathers of Matt (a young goddess, who likes to wear feathers, the incarnation of justice) on the scale. Severity to decide which piece of the dead world to go to after death.
Closer to home, the story of the film "Eye of the Power of God" is very simple. It can be summed up in one sentence: a mortal man and a desolate god join hands to save the three worlds. The sun god pulled him to entrust his position as king to his eldest son Osiris (father of Horus, symbolizing the god of land and water, in charge of the growth of the Nile River and land plants), and ascended to the kingdom of heaven himself. The benevolent Osiris lived up to expectations, and under his personal rule, Egypt was prosperous and loved by the world. Before the old Osiris changed his position, he was willing to give all his property to the world, so that everyone could be protected in another world after death, and the story started from the crown that was about to change hands——
Young Baker is a thief, deeply in love with Zana, who eloped with him out of love. In order to dress his beloved woman well for the coronation ceremony of Horus, the god of the sky, Baker ventured to steal a long line from the downtown area. The beautiful skirt and veil are particularly graceful and graceful when worn on the beautiful Zana. When the young couple and everyone were overjoyed and waited for the most exciting moment to come, along with their uncle, the god of the desert race. Unsolicited, when Horus happily accepted the gift that his uncle specially prepared for him and sounded the horn on the spot, everything in front of him changed. It was over, and what awaited him would be a nightmare. Well, to put it simply, just like the broken bridges that we often see in TV dramas, it is nothing more than the prince raising his troops to rebel and seize power. As the saying goes, those who come are not good and those who are not good will not come. Suddenly, Seth's cruelty made the gods panic. Before Horus could react, his benevolent father, Osiris, the god of agriculture, had already fallen to his brother Sai. Under the special attack...the homeland was destroyed, the kingship was seized, and the eyes of Horus, who had the reputation of the god of the sky, were brutally taken away because of the underestimation of the enemy. Under the protection of the gods, the defeated Horus was only Can choose to flee and hide far beyond the Great Wall, refuse to listen and no longer shelter his subjects, and turn a blind eye to all human prayers. And his biological father was brutally dismembered after being murdered in public by his uncle, and his mother also chose to commit suicide out of sadness. The once prosperous ancient Egypt has since been devastated. The hegemonic Seth is completely contrary to his brother's benevolent government. Under the rule of the weak, the world must rely on their own labor to obtain money if they want to enter another world smoothly after death. Under Seth's tyrannical rule, not only all The human beings were almost forced to become slaves, and the gods and the underworld were also mired in catastrophe.
I'm not a screenwriter, and the story won't end there. There will inevitably be noble people who will help Horus stand up again, and the beautiful Zana will bear the brunt of it. Zana, who was separated at the coronation scene, finally became the maid of the designer of the new royal ruler (this is a book from heaven, so there is such a coincidence). The brave Zana always believed that Horus was the god who blesses them, even in the Horus abandons the world and chooses to live a long and terribly long life. It is also very trusting and repeatedly persuades Baker to help, because the only way to restore Horus' power is to find his eyes, which are hidden in the treasury of the palace. Zana has a map of the palace, Baker is a big-name thief, and then everything is in place except for the east wind. Digression, although with the help of design drawings, although Baker can fly over the eaves and walls, it is a bit incredible to be able to safely pass through the level and successfully steal the treasure so easily and unscathed. And after that? After that, it was natural to play against each other. Horus only wanted to avenge the dazzling death of his father. Baker was willing to help Horus because he believed that only the god of the sky could help him to bring back Zana, who was unfortunately killed by an arrow. In fact, this desolate god has no such ability at all, and the reason why he agreed to this verbal agreement was just to take advantage of Baker's familiar terrain so that he could take revenge early on. When the truth is revealed, you can imagine how desperate Baker was who was deceived. At this time, Zana had fallen into the underworld and was heading for destruction step by step, because Zana, who was a slave and penniless, had nothing but a smile. You can go to another world in exchange for the equivalent of property...
No one wants to see Zana disappear like this, Baker can't, I can't, you can't, neither can Eros. The god of love (I can't remember the name, it seems to be called Hathor) is the love of Horus. The two gods love each other deeply. It is not difficult to guess from the plot at the beginning. If it wasn't for Seth's accidental seizure of power, At the coronation ceremony of Horus, I believe that the god of love will eventually be canonized as the queen of Egypt, but unfortunately, everything changed with a trumpet. The god of love, who loves Horus deeply, does not want to see Horus make mistakes again and again, and is willing to be trapped in the underworld to help Baker meet Zana. The yin and yang of his belongings and his beloved Baker have since vanished.
When I saw that the goddess of love voluntarily took off the most expensive amulet bracelet, left the opportunity to Zana and personally summoned Anubis, the god of death, and asked him to bring Baker into the underworld, to be honest, it was so unexpected that My heart was completely hit, and at that moment, my eyes were red. Do you know what love is? Horus, who has not yet grown up, has always been favored, and although he will not act recklessly, he is also very willful and stubborn. From the perspective of Horus, it is understandable that this god just wants to take revenge quickly, but because of this, he completely ignores the feelings of others, even if the other party pays all for it, he will do his own thing. How can such selfishness become the god of praise in the world? What about Eros? The god of love is well-deserved. Hathor has a benevolent heart. She knows that no matter how high her mana is, she will not be able to bring Zana back to heaven. After losing her beloved, the bracelet can't really save Zana's life, but its incomparable value can at least allow Zana to go to a world of death instead of being devastated and never see Baker again. Knowing that Horus was wrong, she was willing to take the responsibility for him and help the beloved Horus to make up for his fault without hesitation, even if it cost her eternal freedom. However, no matter how valuable the bracelet is, Zana's death is irreversible. Then, the god of love gives up his love to fulfill the true love of mortals, and sacrifices himself just to exchange for Zana's immortality in the next life and to meet the beloved Baker before joining the world of death. On the last side, is such an exchange really worth it? If it was you, would you make such a choice? In a world of equal exchange of materials, is this considered a fool's behavior? I am moved precisely because this is beyond love. What is love? Love is fulfillment, love is sacrifice, love is dedication, and love is also inclusive. The love between Baker and Zana across the three worlds makes people sigh, but what moved me even more was the love between the god of love Hathor and the god of the sky Horus. I once thought that the gods were gods, sacred and inviolable. Just imagine if Tianwei should not eat the fireworks of the human world, how could he have the seven emotions and six desires of the human world? What's more, you can choose to sacrifice yourself for mortals, how can such selfless love not be praised? Such a god can only be the god of love. Extraordinary screenwriter, and very commendable superb acting.
I laughed when I saw Horus and the God of Eros being angry and ignoring each other; when I saw the God of Eros, who was in pain, seeing that Horus was about to die, he could only take the initiative to commit himself to Seth in exchange for Horus' safety. , very painful; when I saw that all Hathor's efforts were not understood by Horus and was misunderstood, his eyes were so angry that he saw Hathor, the god of love, because he was worried about the safety of Horus When I secretly cast a spell to check the other party's whereabouts, but it was exposed, my palms were sweating all the time; and finally I saw that Horus, who was full of merit, asked Baker to help take care of the kingdom, turned and flew to the underworld to save the beloved Hasso again. When I was fighting, I was so happy that I almost jumped up, cheering inwardly, the corners of my mouth were raised, but my eyes were red. When I saw that Horus, who had lost his divine power, could only stare dumbly at the black and white fire-breathing pythons that were engulfing him, he was helpless, and the anxious Baker asked the gods to escape with him. Horus hesitated for a while. Turning around and running, he said, the gods will never run away! At this point, I laughed. Can't beat it, can't dodge it? A man can bend and stretch, but if he can’t beat him, he naturally has to run. If you really want to braid your hair, you will have nothing, and where will the self-esteem come from if people are gone? It’s just that this fierce battle was won too easily. Although the subsequent victory was due to the boundless power of the God of Love, but a small ordinary person, no matter how daring and agile Baker is, it is impossible for him to be unscathed. At the end, there is a scene where Baker is gloriously injured and then tilts his head and closes his eyes. Otherwise, I would definitely think that this Baker is actually a potential stock and a lost son of the gods. Isn't the battle of the gods a similar story? ? It's totally possible! There are too many impossibles. The luck of this great god is really good. Although he doesn’t have to go through thousands of hardships like Odysseus, it is more convincing to have some difficult tasks. ? This Mr. Impossible surprised us so much that I had the illusion that this Baker was a god, an impossible god.
In ancient Egypt, the gods believed in by human beings had their own range of power, and the importance of rights was self-evident. The eye of power, Seth is greedy, already possessing many divine powers, but he still chooses to go against the sky in order to prove himself in front of the sun god, his own father. A dazzling dagger was inserted directly into the body of the brother who opened his arms to him, ready to hug him tightly; those who obeyed me prospered and those who disobeyed me died, even if they were married couples, they could face each other when Nephthys openly opposed him. The expression cut off the wings of his once beloved wife with his own hands; for the desire for power, he could dig out the smartest brain with his bare hands (still failed to remember the name of the somewhat sissy god), designed to hurt his biological father, the sun god, and also steal He took away his treasures, and then released the snake of darkness to engulf the Nile River... I really can't understand how this man's heart grows. Oh, he is a god, and I am a layman. I really can't guess. What I can guess is that Horus, who has gone through hardships, will wake up one day, and it will be the most critical moment - when I saw that Horus failed to rescue Baker who fell from the sky first, When his own eyes were snatched back, he thought that his chances of winning the game were reduced by one point. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the one-eyed Horus suddenly realized that the final result was to turn defeat into victory. It was this little clip that allowed me to see that the once frizzy and pampered little god finally grew up. He finally knew his responsibilities. He wanted to protect his subjects and protect his country from being invaded. A little unexpectedly, shouldn't Seth with 6 gods be the most invincible? Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be so vulnerable, and Seth, who felt that he was even better at the beginning of the film! I was thinking, could it be that the gods who were injured were protecting Horus? Although you have the best weapons, Seth, they are not your own. The weapons cannot be used for your own use, but ultimately drag yourself down. Because a phone call came in and I didn't see how Seth defeated Seth, the dramatic change in an instant, when I saw Seth lying on the ground dying and begging Horus to be merciful, I only thought of 4 words: Evil Bad news.
Yes! Even if Set robbed Horus of the eye of the sky, even if he had the most perfect wings, the smartest brain, the kindest heart and the strongest weapon in the world, what would the result be? Not yours is not yours. Plundering can always only be storage, and one day they will surely return to their original owners. If Seth hadn't made mistakes in order to satisfy his endlessly huge vanity because of his infinite greed for power, it is undeniable that the resolute Seth would have been an extraordinary god, but it was a pity that hatred completely invaded his mind. Seth always thought that his father exiled himself in the desert because he hated his brother, but he doted on him so much. He questioned injustice, so the god of darkness had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge and succeeded in one fell swoop. Isn't the commemorative plaque just to demonstrate to the sun god? He wanted to tell his father that he was the best and only he was the one most worthy of the kingship. When the sun god Ra persuaded Seth to tell his son his true intentions, Seth, who had long been blinded by power, could no longer hear a word...
Of course, the movie is just a movie, and I still look forward to the happy ending. Then left happily. The 2 full hours of watching is a whole-hearted rhythm. From entering the stage to leaving the brain, there is a buzzing sound. There are too many things to absorb and too many ins and outs that have not been digested. How many seeds are filled into my head? I'm really not sure about the water content, and there are a lot of characters in the film. What I said just now is very likely to be worn by others. Anyway, this is an excellent film. The Hollywood blockbuster that premiered in the spring is indeed a visual The feast, the full storyline, and the stunning 3D special effects, I was stunned by its amazingness almost from beginning to end, especially the two crazy fire-breathing black and white double pythons still make me shudder... Uh, the drama Too much, I don't know if I will be KO? Alright, alright, for more storylines, you might as well go to the cinema to see it in person on the day the movie is released on the 11th, it will definitely make you stunned. Do not believe? Take it and walk silently, let's go~
