In fact, I still like this film very much. I think many scenes are very beautiful. Maybe the Begonia tree with its petals at the beginning made me fall in love with it. All in all, the costumes and costumes of the set artists are admirable. After reading the list, it turns out that it was written by Ye Jintian, no wonder.
The story is too complicated, too messy, too many threads. Fate, choice, love, fame, trust, hatred, killing, betrayal. . . The director wanted to express too much, but he didn't make it clear. However, this does not prevent everyone from understanding Wuji in their own way. From the beginning of the filming, people have been constantly asking what Wuji means. I am afraid that even after watching it, most people still cannot understand it. According to my understanding, I prefer to use more metaphysical thoughts to describe this vocabulary that seems to be permeated with mysteries everywhere, such as Taoism. Taoism has a cloud, Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four images, four images give birth to eight trigrams, and eight trigrams of sixteen squares, thus regenerates eight, eight, sixty-four trigrams, and derives this infinitely changing world of all things. Therefore, Wuji can be understood as the source of time. The beginning of chaos is the beginning of all nothingness and reality. Therefore, in Wuji, you can and have the right to choose your own destiny. Just like a piece of white paper you can smear, but the traces you draw cannot be wiped away. Once the wheel of fortune is activated, it will continue to turn and cannot be changed, unless the river is reversed, the time is reversed, and people are brought back to life.
I just want to talk about love in the infinite. I like the character of Bright, I think he is a cute and interesting person. I like his heroic spirit when he wears flower armor, and his invincibility and dominance when he kills the enemy on the battlefield. I like the way he lay casually in the grass when taking Kunlun as a slave. Indiscriminate, I like his arrogance when he bet with Manshen, like his desire to control everything when he refuses to accept fate, like his arrogant and determined expression when he is betrayed by his subordinates, like his arrogance and domineering when he kisses Qingcheng, I like his pride and self-confidence when he left Qingcheng and bet with her, like his frankness when he stayed in a small thatched hut when he renovated the meadow and sip tea and listened to the rain, and liked when he did not come back in Qingcheng, like a child who lost his treasure The same reckless and wanton tears flowed down his face, I liked the magnanimity when he gave up all his previous glory and fame for Qingcheng, liked his calmness and unruly when he was framed, arrested and imprisoned, and liked the look in his eyes when he thought that Qingcheng knew the truth. of deep loss. . . . .
Such a proud person with nothing in his eyes, such a general surrounded by illustrious fame, the owner of the flower armor, has always been a strong person who holds fate in his hands. So when Destiny predicted that he would eventually lose everything, including his proud armor of flowers, he scoffed. However, this time he was wrong. As the lines say, the real speed you can't see, it's like the wind is rising and the sunset is alive, it's like you don't know when the leaves turn yellow, don't know when your child will grow the first tooth, don't know When will you fall in love with someone. In order to prove the God of Destiny's mistake, in order to prove anything, even if he didn't get it at the moment, as long as he thought about it, he would finally get it, so he deliberately conquered those things that didn't belong to him, and the women were all over the city. So he took the place of Kunlun in the name of killing the king, so he took advantage of Qingcheng's love for the one who saved her life in flower armor and got her easily. Everything went so well, and it seemed that all predictions that he would lose everything were wrong. But he doesn't know which part of the process has gone wrong secretly, that is, he has become emotional without knowing it, and the feelings are secretly born, and the bead is secretly knotted. Maybe it was when Qingcheng gave him a light kiss that he quietly fell in love with her. From then on, the ruthless general died, leaving only a flesh-and-blood man in the small thatched hut watching the sun and the moon as the grass and trees wither, waiting for his beloved woman to come back to him; only a man with a true temperament because in the end. Without waiting for the woman he loves, he burst into tears and weeping like a child; only a man who gave up everything for love asked his slave to carry him to the ends of the earth to find the woman he loved, and this man was called Guangming.
And when he finally found the woman and took her into his arms, she inadvertently and cruelly told him the truth. What she loved was only his flower armor, an incarnation of him. She loves the owner of the flower armor, but not him. What a fatal blow, she fell in love with the wrong person, but he fell in love with her. How ridiculous, how teasing, his heart aches for someone who loves someone else. Fate is like this, but he chooses to be silent, choose to keep secrets, choose to forbear, and at the same time, he can only choose to love her as humble as a puppet, a substitute, and a shadow. He even fantasized about himself as the one who saved him, the great hero in his mind, even if he died because of this in the name of killing the king. Even before he died, all he said to her was the words that didn't come from him: Live well, don't die. He was loved by her instead of Kunlun, and at the same time he loved her selfishly. This was the honor of his life and also the sorrow. His love always lives in the halo and shadow of others.
He deceived the truth, just to continue to get her love, as long as she loves him, as long as he doesn't lose her, he would rather sleep in a dream and not wake up. But in the end she knew the truth and knew that she had been in love with the wrong person. His eyes suddenly paled, and the light that he imagined surrounding him disappeared instantly. He's just a selfish clown who takes advantage of other people's feelings. But who can say he did wrong? Love is inherently selfish. So, he was really moved and left sad tears. Therefore, he is willing to use his life to return the love that did not belong to him to them. It was a luxury for him to occupy it for so long.
Allure, Wuhuan, Guangming, Kunlun, four people, there are four different kinds of pain. What is unhappy is the pain of not getting what you want, what is bright is the pain of losing again, what is in Kunlun is the pain of giving up, and what is alluring is the pain of choosing. Which of these four kinds of suffering is more painful? Wuhuan is always hopeless because he can't ask for it, neither gain nor loss; and although Kunlun chooses to give up, he is always active and upright, and he has the right and the right to decide whether to love or be loved at any time. It's just that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't want to. And although Qingcheng loved the wrong person, but in the end it was lost and found again. At the same time, she had the love of two men, and she had also truly loved her. The love of these three people, whether it is love or being loved, is open and simple, with only light, and on the surface, he looks like the happiest person, but in fact his love is the saddest.
I think I understand the pain in Guangming's heart. He endured the double torment of truth and emotion and the condemnation of his conscience at the same time. He would rather use death to continue the lie, so as to preserve a complete and beautiful image in Qingcheng's heart. Therefore, when Qingcheng discovered the truth, it was the most painful time in his heart. Surprise and despair flashed in his eyes, and then he was covered with a shadow and lost his spirits. Yes, he was not the one who saved Qingcheng at the beginning, nor was he who fell in love with Qingcheng at the beginning, maybe now he is only in love with him because of the first sight, and the one in his heart, but at this moment, he is unmistakable. love her. What's wrong with love? His love is disguised as a lie, it is the alms-giving from the allure, it is the bitterness of keeping a secret and being loved wrongly, it is fear and trembling, and it is the fear of gain and loss as if walking on thin ice. His sadness is not that he has given up his glory and dreams for love, but that he is stealing and secretly enjoying the love that should belong to others like a shadow of Li Daitao. , because he can't leave; his sorrow is that he is as proud as him all his life, but so humble in front of love; his sorrow is that he met the wrong person at the right time and place; Hanging down, I hate to meet before you get married"; his sadness is that he lives in the shadow of Kunlun, and he does not know whether he has obtained the true love of Qingcheng until he dies. In fact, he should close his eyes, no matter whether he gets the gift of true love or not, but at least he has the payment of true love. We can't be sure which one is more difficult or happier to be loved, but at least love enriches and makes life complete.
As Qingcheng, she has already chosen her own destiny. She will not have true love in this life, and even if she does, she will lose it instantly. So she loves one and misses the other. But she should be very lucky, she has the true love of the two owners of the flower armor. Kunlun has always chosen silent love, which means giving up, but why should he finally tell the truth? Does he really think that he is the one who is truly worthy of love in Qingcheng? Maybe burying that truth in my heart forever will make people feel more precious about his relationship with Qingcheng. To love someone is to make her happy, right? So why tell her the truth and cruelly force her into the abyss of choice and make her suffer? It's a pity that love never comes first and then comes first. Loving someone is love, and the feelings delivered will always be overwhelmed. Whether Qingcheng loves Guangming more or Kunlun more, I am clumsy and can't tell. But both are worthy of love because they both truly and passionately love him. Love is mutual affection, not buying vegetables at the vegetable market, not because this person should be loved by you or not, and whether or not it is worth your love, so you go along with the market to haggle and weigh the price. So no matter what kind of phantom Qingcheng fell in love with at the beginning, no matter how worthy of Qingcheng's love Kunlun was, the love that started to go wrong can only be wrong to the end, irreversible. like fate. So I think what Allure loves is still the light, because only the feeling of being with him is real. If I were Allure, I would also choose Bright, someone I truly love, even as a substitute. Over time, love is born, and the fake is the real. When the fake is real, the real is also fake, and sometimes there is no action. Because that kind of love is real, because love is not a utopian illusion, not a hero in the heart, not an empty promise, but a present possession, a real person who can hold your hand, a pillow in reality . What if the love is wrong? Love can never be weighed on a standard scale, love is just a feeling. Is there anyone who has been infatuated with a person for a lifetime and waited for a lifetime because of one sentence? Maybe, but really few. No matter how much we yearn for love, after all, you have to find someone to spend your life with in the vast sea of people. That's why there is that sentence: cherish the people in front of you; so maybe you can guess the beginning, but you can never guess the ending; if I were a director, I would rather choose the truth to reveal the sun forever, because a person's giving up can at least be fulfilled The happiness of two people. Zhang Ailing said that because she understands, she is compassionate.
Promise's English name is promise, promise. This is a promise that Allure made to Manshen at the beginning of the film, a promise about the choice of destiny. At the end of the film, Kunlun takes Qingcheng across the river of time, giving him a chance to choose again. If life is like the first time, you can return to the end of the Wuji world before, then how these four people will choose love, hate, hatred, no one else cares, and it doesn't matter to the viewer. What can be moved is the only choice of fate when you don't know the future. There are many possibilities in the future, and that is an infinite world. Maybe love can really change fate, just like you can see snowflakes in spring, but we mortals may not have the ability to start all over again, and we don't even have the right to choose our destiny, otherwise there will be no such thing as resignation.
I have always wondered whether we chose fate or fate chose us, but unfortunately, no Promise World has given me the answer.
