In "Bulletproof Monk", when the unknown monk (Chow Yun-fat) was educating Carl (Sean William Scott), he recalled that when he was young, he disobeyed the same discipline as Carl. Enlightenment is to protect the ancient scripture scrolls, and evil talents are enlightened as righteousness). When Karl was stealing other people’s belongings, he did not forget to rescue a little girl who fell off the subway, and he did not forget to give alms to the beggars on the street when he ate hot dogs. He pointed out the inherent conscience of people, that is, "rightness." But in the face of the reality of life, it is true that there is no right way to make money, but to steal, which embodies the human nature's likes and dislikes-"evil" or "evil", and here also embodies the evil and righteousness of people's hearts. In being enlightened by an unknown monk, he was called back to the conscience that human nature should have, and at the same time he was competing with evil in the process of upholding justice. In fighting training, the classic lines of the unknown monk (Chow Yun-fat): not to be angry, but to be peaceful; not to care about strength, but to be elegant; the point is not to know others, but to know yourself; especially, "Believe, you "Believe there, don’t believe there is nothing" is the most religious sentence. In the end, the film also illustrates this "belief" (confidence) through Karl's idea of ​​forgetting the law of universal gravitation, going up to the house, and finally victorious in a fight with an evil officer. )the power of. These languages, which are full of Eastern philosophy or religion, gradually promoted Karl and made Karl choose to accept the enlightenment of an unknown monk and fight side by side with him to defeat the treacherous (evil). This is also another kind of evil and evil. Positive contest.
The other starring bad girl (Jamie Kim) was also invisible in her contact with these two people. Like Carl, she is full of the contest between evil and righteousness. She is the daughter of the underworld boss. Her father was rejected by the FBI and chose to join the band of thieves during the day and return to her "Royal Palace" house at night. She was the same as Carl but was eventually enlightened. She also fulfilled the three prophecies, and finally became a thief with Carl. A protector of the scroll. But this Goldilocks (Jamie Kim) became the protector of the scroll with Carl and was arranged at the end of the play. It is indeed surprising that she fulfilled the three prophecies under the eyes of the audience, but it is also reasonable. This kind of ending also shows the usual characteristics of Hollywood movies, and the ending always makes an unexpected point of view.
The contest between evil and evil is also reflected in the straightforward plot, and it runs through the movie drama. From the beginning of the scroll, a group of soldiers wanted to take possession of it. Later, it has been planned and robbed by a group of unknown monks. I have been hiding around to protect the scrolls, and at the same time looking for the next guardian. The contest with the wicked ones all reflects the contest between evil and righteousness, and the treacherous conscience who wants to control the entire world. The evil ones finally go to extinction, heralding the ultimate victory of justice, and also pinning people's ultimate ideal of justice over evil.
