You think you see love, but it's just fate after all

I watched "Journey to the West" 20 years ago and laughed for the deliberate plot and the classic nonsense. Revisiting it 10 years ago, I saw Zixia wearing a wedding dress, and said with tears, "My crush is a hero of the world, and one day he will step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me. I guessed the first, but I guessed. Don't get this ending." Tears wet his eyes for a while. Now, the familiar plot and lines are repeated again, and suddenly they are there.

A popular film, interpreted for 20 years. Most of the once green teenagers are now married. At first, we thought we understood love in the movie, but now we are suddenly shocked. After all, it is just fate. And the white horse passed the gap, Yamagata remained the same, and in exchange, it was a reconciliation with fate.

All comedy films are the same: there is no embarrassment in life. Subtle embarrassment breaking apart, only unexpected turns and surprises. It was embarrassing for the Supreme Treasure and the bandits to encounter the Spring Thirty Mother, and Bai Jingjing and the Bull Demon King were in a hurry.

Especially viewers who are familiar with Zhou's style, seeing "I got you", "I'm not allowed to slap in the face", "You care so much about me, I'm willing to do my best for you", "I'll touch you desperately." , you also touched me desperately, and made an oath to never separate" or the like, or suddenly sang "Only you" at the moment of staring deeply, and naturally leaned forward and backward.

But after the embarrassment, what cannot be resolved is the contradiction. There are two contradictions in "Journey to the West". One is to save people. In order to save Bai Jingjing, Supreme Treasure had no choice but to use the Moonlight Treasure Box, but returned to 500 years ago. It was there that he met Zixia and became the Monkey King of Toshi. But when the Bull Demon King strikes, the Supreme Treasure has no choice: if you don't take the Western Classic, you can't save Zixia. Once he becomes Sun Wukong, he cannot be with Zixia.

This leads to a deeper problem: a person may not only love one person in his life, but he can only go to the end with one person. The Supreme Treasure thought that he loved Bai Jingjing and traveled through time and space for her. But in another world, even though she called "Jingjing" 98 times when she was in a coma, Zixia called her name 784 times.

When I was young, of course, like Zixia, I looked forward to pure love. As the wick of the Buddha, he was moved by all thoughts, only to find the Ruyi man who could pull out the purple and green sword.

Facing the pursuit and questioning of Erlangshen and the Four Heavenly Kings, Zixia threw a sentence, "If I can't be with the person I like, I won't be happy even if I become the Jade Emperor."

Under the city wall, he threw "He What if he doesn't like me? What if he has a wife?" When I heard the Supreme Treasure answer, "You care so much about him, God has arranged it the most", and a bright smile appeared on his face. Here in Zixia, you don't need a reason to love someone. She only deeply believes that the person she loves will come dressed in golden armor and step on seven-colored clouds.

However, the reality is always wrong. As for the Supreme Treasure, approaching Zixia is to get the Moonlight Treasure Box, even if it is the famous self-report of "I once had a sincere love in front of me", the first mention is only "the most perfect lie" in my life. However, the lead was washed away and the robbery was exhausted. When Supreme Treasure recited this paragraph in order to save Zixia, only the long journey to the west was left in front of him.

Too many people cry because of the demise of ideal love and the waste of human affairs. When we were young, we didn't understand love. After we understood it, we missed the best time and left us alone.

If you have such an idea, you are probably still at a stubborn age, even unwilling to admit it. There are some contradictions that will never be eliminated in your life.

Fate arranged that the Supreme Treasure could not be a little thief with peace of mind, would not marry Bai Jingjing, would eventually meet Zixia, and then miss it and go back to the West Heaven Road. Just as fate has framed most of us, we have to cross the long student stage, experience the sweetness and pain of love, face resentment, meet and ask, and inevitably die of illness and death. Of course, there is also a moment of sorrow and joy under the "tightening spell", but in the final analysis, the harvest of maturity is also accompanied by loss. If you can guess the front, you cannot guess the ending.

We are more and more aware that the world has too many shackles that cannot be avoided, including Guanyin and Bull Demon Kings. Being here, a single tear in my heart is actually insignificant. In addition to being free and easy, freedom also means responsibility, and sometimes happiness also has pain after all, and we have no choice.

I used to love "Journey to the West" so much, because it was the crystallization of the ideal. But now, at the end of the film, on the deserted Gobi desert, the four masters and apprentices only left a small back, but a sincere peace was born in their hearts.

Because it has long been accepted, walking on the road of life, one day, we will all become "weird" and "like a dog".

Some people say that "Journey to the West" became popular again because the post-80s generation also began to feel nostalgic. In fact, it was only the reckless teenagers who once began to understand that the unparalleled hero and the love of his life are all "juvenile tours" that dare to do and dare to hate, and the essence of life is hidden under the shadow of ideals. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but try to face the truth. Even if you know the truth, you have to wear a diamond ring and hide your confusion and pain. There is no joy in life, no pain in death, only cherish the present and work hard for the future.

The good thing about "Journey to the West" is that laughter, tears and deep thinking are hidden in the same fable, and the answers are all left to time.

Until one day, we wake up to life: the past and the present have passed and never come again, the red and red leaves are buried in the dust, the beginning and the end are always unchanged, and you are floating in the sky outside the white clouds. The sea of ​​bitterness has turned up love and hatred. It is difficult to escape fate in this world. Blind date cannot be approached, or I should believe it is fate.
