Leaving aside the excellent action design of the movie, just the comparison of Dong Tianbao and Zhang Junbao in character creation in the play, I think Zhang Junbao is more like an ideal incarnation, and Dong Tianbao has the appearance of most people. (Most people should be in between the two)
One is born contented and happy, has no desires, and one is extremely eager to succeed and cruel.
Zhang Junbao grew up with his master since he was a child. He is kind-hearted, has no competition with the world, has no desire for fame and fortune, has no desire to fight, and keeps his heart calm and content. This is undoubtedly a detached and noble spiritual pursuit. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and it is often necessary to go through the world to realize epiphany. And Junbao has a firm mind from beginning to end. For Junbao, his childhood was spent under the care of his master, and the Shaolin Temple was his home and the life he longed for.
On the other hand, Dong Tianbao should have had a starving childhood, so he longed for a better life since he was a child. There is a detail in the movie. The master asked him if he had eaten meat, and Dong Tianbao answered no. The master praised him, and he explained that it was because his family was poor and could not afford it, but he wanted to try it. It can be seen that, for Tianbao, worshipping Shaolin Temple is because of survival. He started late, but he was unwilling to be called Senior Brother Junbao, and disapproved of the rules Junbao said. As you can see, he ignores the rules. In the temple, they are often bullied by their senior brothers. Facing the bullying of his senior brother, Tianbao will resist and retaliate. These growth experiences taught him the truth of using fists to solve injustice, and also distorted the purpose of his desperate martial arts training - not to help others, not to keep fit, but to become the first monk. Therefore, he practiced hard day and night, and even stealthily learned the martial arts from the master. However, when he entered the Bodhidharma Academy to compete in martial arts, Xinbao used a trick to plot against him, but the uncle favored Xinbao and wanted to abolish Tianbao's martial arts and expel him from the school. Tianbao understood: no matter how high your martial arts are, there will be others in key places. Therefore, he resolutely left the Shaolin Temple.
When they first entered the society, they have no money, no background, no resources, no opportunities, and only have a skill. In order to have a good meal, I had to perform on the street and let others punch me for a penny. Even if he is so humble, he can't escape the bullying of the official bully. In the face of such injustice, they fought bullies and killed officials with the lofty ideals of the restaurant, but in a blink of an eye, they were killed by the officials and fled. These realities gave Tempo a loud slap in the face. He began to defect in his heart, thinking that in order to become a powerful person like Liu Jin, the only way to be a "betrayal" is to die.
When the conscripted eunuch (forgot his surname) mocked and insulted, Tianbao licked his mouth to please himself like a dog. From Jun Bao's astonished expression, I read the shock in his heart. Compared with the weak and futile resistance of the lower-level fighters, Tianbao believes that he has chosen a path that seems to be able to achieve his ambitions. In the military camp, he was unwilling to be a nobody. In order to rise to power, he killed all those who stood in his way, and in order to take credit, he betrayed his brothers and friends.
When Eunuch Liu said, how could he hide the traitorous party secretly as an envoy, he chopped the beloved little winter melon without hesitation. The one moment is tender and sweet, the next moment is cruel and cruel, it is estimated that the little winter melon did not expect it when she died.
In order to preserve that little bit of poor power, he would not allow any mistakes. He is so eager for power that morality, right and wrong, dignity, brotherhood, love, bottom line... all can be discarded when necessary.
Finally, Tianbao boarded the position of infinite scenery, under one person, above ten thousand people.
Junbao duel with him for the death of his friend, he recruited a ruthless hand. Unfortunately, he couldn't beat Junbao's self-created Taijiquan. Just when all this was about to be lost, he was still clamoring for the unwillingness and dissatisfaction of "my life is up to me", and he would play a sinister trick before dying. In the end, he ended up betraying his relatives and leaving, killing Huang Quan.
Master Jueyuan has long seen the polarization of their xinxing. When the two were kicked out of Shaolin, Master Jueyuan only gave Tianbao a qigong mind method, hoping to calm his inner impetuosity, but he still failed to change him.
Tianbao is like a little person who is struggling in reality. He has emotions and desires like normal people, and he is stronger than most. The extreme desire for success caused him not to learn to control his desires, but to hold on to a straw desperately, thinking that was all that led to success.
