"Dahua" is now a classic representative of Xingye. After decades, it still has the magic power of worship among college students. In this movie, you can see alternative funny and cheap, and you can see the old-fashioned plot that travels through time and space. , you can see Zhu Yin, who used to be so delicate, and you can see a love tragedy in which a god and a demon fell in love. In such a film that subverts common sense, everyone can see their own reflection.
The high evaluation of "Big Talk" among college students - those who are about to become or have become intellectuals - is not an accidental outbreak. If the popularity of this nonsensical film is linked to a rather taboo event, it may explain The popularity of "Dahua" in the mainland was first of all helpful, and at the same time, the understanding of a certain character of Chinese intellectuals was more intuitive. Chinese intellectuals have always had a tradition and a belief, which can be summed up most accurately than: “If you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.” In the era of political clarity and relaxed social atmosphere, intellectuals have appeared on the stage one after another, expressing their political views, or inspiring words, or pointing out the shortcomings of the times. The style of Han Fu, Tang poetry and Song poetry outlines the brilliant silhouettes of the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties. After the wars, during the period of terror of political pressure, intellectuals often "hide in small buildings to become a unified unit, regardless of whether it is winter, summer or spring and autumn." The sadness of "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest" is completely different from Qinhuai Fengyue's extravagant perspective, which depicts the helpless background of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty.
Continuing along the path of intellectual character, we can give another description of the plot of Dahua. After Sun Wukong experienced the high-pressure imprisonment under the Five Elements Mountain, the free nature and democratic aspirations that had been buried deep within the body since the May Fourth Movement began to grow again. He is no longer satisfied with the existing order set by the Tathagata for the heaven and the earth and the shackles of the Tang monks. He wants to dominate his own life and pursue his own values and ideals. It is from this contradiction that the story unfolds. What Sun Wukong once loved was the value of democracy, freedom and fairness. This value is called Bai Jingjing. However, on a night when they could not see their fingers, a light ignited their passion. He touched her desperately, and she was desperate. After touching him, Bai Jingjing was caught in the cycle of suicide. In order to find his lover, Sun Wukong turned to the Moonlight Treasure Box, an extremely complicated treasure, to return to another situation and time domain. He waited for the return of his lover in a place called Pansidong, which was actually a square. But the result of this kind of waiting was the killing of the Bull Demon King arranged by the Tathagata Buddha on the wheel of fate. After more than a month of confrontation, there was no progress. The woman who I love more is a metaphor for life, Zixia is also fast. Raped by the Bull Demon King. At the same time, he cared deeply about himself (suffering death on his behalf), the nagging Tang Seng, and the two timid brothers who lived and died together with him were also controlled by the Bull Demon King.
Faced with such a predicament, Sun Wukong had to accept the conditions of the Buddha's negotiating representative Guanyin, put on the spell again, exchanged the ability to reach the sky at the price of freedom, and strived to become the Buddha, the Tang monk, the eight precepts and the sand monk. But in the end, Sun Wukong failed to successfully complete the rescue he expected, and Sun Wukong, who had lost the value he once cherished so much, had already inevitably lost his life.
After experiencing this vigorous incident, the four members of the group have changed their temperament greatly. Tang Seng no longer nags, Bajie is no longer Huaxin and pretending to be a pig-headed man, and Sha Seng no longer pretends to be a macho to start a sissy. After leaving the town, the oriental samurai who used to be as rebellious as himself saw Goku and casually threw "He looks like a dog".
After walking through the square, the college students lost a sense of spirit, lived as carefully as walking dead, and were forced to become "cynics". A "Journey to the West" is full of struggles and heavy helplessness they once worked hard. In their eyes, Sun Wukong is really like a dog.
