The cycle of love and destruction

Recently, I discovered that I was a little bit unusual. I went crazy searching for movies, watching one after another, and it was still the kind of suspenseful and somewhat horrifying movies. There were no literary and romantic films. Note that I am talking about "abnormal", and there is a difference between it and abnormal ~ But the movies made and performed by Chinese people (the whole of China) are not included in my search. Just like my usual style, I have a feeling for the original film. Soft spot.

I watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" yesterday, and today I suddenly remembered that Peter Jackson is not the director of the "Lord of the Rings" series? It’s no wonder that the Kingdom of Narnia is so familiar~ and today I’m watching a pure Hollywood movie. Compared with The Chronicles of Narnia, it’s not so new, but an old movie that everyone can say is familiar. --"mummy". The "Mummy" series can be said to be an old-fashioned thing, but I think that for this few representative films about Egypt, about ancient curses, and about mummies, it should be given some attention.

In fact, as long as the ending of a Hollywood movie is not difficult to guess, it is always the same old routine, but when it is related to the mysterious Egypt and the mysterious mummies, everything looks different, and everything is covered with a layer. Weird. In fact, this is also a technique that Hollywood is quite good at: fusing the western adventurous spirit with the oriental mystery together to become the biggest attraction. As a very representative Hollywood adventure movie, how can it be without a hero? Even if the hero’s original intention was to hunt for treasures for such an improper purpose, let him save the world and everything is justified~

Let’s talk about the negative character in this story, that is, the resurrected mummy, which belonged to the Egyptian pharaoh 3000 years ago. The high priest was also the one who gave the pharaoh a cuckold. His destruction was only because he loved the wrong person and challenged the supreme authority of the Pharaoh. He was given the cruelest "worm bite" in the legend. When the heroine chanted the "Black Sutra of the Dead", he was resurrected, and he began to fulfill his lover's last wish-to bring her back to life. But he is always evil, and his destruction was doomed from the beginning. The heroine once again chanted the "Sun Golden Sutra" to make him die again, and at the same time achieve his love.

Because of love, he died; because of love, he lived again. When we sing justice, also think of his love that will destroy everything! ~Not to praise anything, don't think of his evil and cruelty, just think of his love, can't love praise it? Is it true that the love of a hero must be noble, and the love of a devil must be cast aside? This obviously doesn't make sense. In this cycle of mummy love and destruction, I saw an extremely sincere love that must be annihilated...
