Not sure what movie you guys rewatch every year, for me it's sometimes "Journey to the West".
It's interesting to think about it. It's a movie that has been around for more than 20 years. It tells the story of Monkey King and the White Bone Spirit falling in love, monsters and bandits giving birth to Tang monks.
In this two-part movie, I prefer the first part, Moonlight Box.
Because the details of the previous article are rich and hidden.
To explain with a simple example, maybe you think the name of this movie is "Moonlight Treasure Box of Westward Journey", but in fact its full name is:
Journey to the West Chapter 101: Moonlight Treasure Box
A Chinese Odyssey Part Ⅰ-Pandora's Box
Needless to say, those who know the story of Journey to the West, the Odyssey, and Pandora's Box have already smiled knowingly.
Among the many details revealed in this little name, I like the section of Pandora's Box the most, because as we know, at the bottom of the magic box, the one that failed to fly out with the disaster and plague is hope.
Compared with the broken story of the Supreme Treasure and the Zixia Fairy due to excessive editing, the first part actually has at least three strange love stories under the cover of comedy, each symbolizing secret love, first love and humble love.
They are the love of the blind man, the love of the supreme treasure and Bai Jingjing, and the love of Chun San Thirty Niang and the second master.
And weird is always fun, isn't it?
In case everyone has forgotten the plot, let me briefly introduce it.
The story is actually the story of the spider Jingchun Thirty Mother, Bai Gu Jing Bai Jingjing and the Bull Demon King gathered in Wuyue Mountain and Pansi Cave simply or not for the sake of eating Tang monk meat. Passively involved bandits.
01
blind love
The blind man is the bandit of Wuyueshan. To be more precise, he should be the third master of Wuyueshan. He is male and likes male.
Although the blind man is called the blind man, the blind man is not blind, because he fell in love with the reincarnated Sun Wukong.
Among the bandits, he may be the most affectionate and righteous one.
The Supreme Treasure was injured by the Kunlun Sansheng's Seven Injury Fist, with crossed eyes, a shrill voice, and walked with his hands. It was the blind man who first noticed that his wound was healed.
When Erdang's family was stunned by the smoke and stunned Chun Thirty Niang and let her reveal the spider essence body, the two sides fought meleely, and when the Supreme Treasure was hung on the net, only the blind man rushed out to save him.
When Chun Thirty Niang and Bai Jingjing escaped from the Qiankun bag and crushed everyone, among all the bandits who pretended to be dead, only the blind man rushed out to save the Supreme Treasure.
Since then, he will have no role in the scene, because he is just a fleeting scene in the life of the supreme treasure, and the supreme treasure and even the audience may never even face his feelings.
It is impossible to test when the blind man fell in love with the supreme treasure, because he is the most secret love in the world.
02
Spring Thirty Niang and the love of the second master
The entanglement between Chun Thirty and the second master started a long time ago.
Think about it, if the second master hadn't used the smoke to make Chun Thirty-six show her true self, there would be no later stories. Maybe they will stay in Wuyue Mountain year after year, rob the foot soles of travelers, and wait for the fate of the three moles. Of course, there will be no children born later.
At the beginning of the story, the Spring Thirty Mother used the Fascinating Dafa to fascinate the second master. This is actually a symbol and metaphor, just like the popular "licking the dog" nowadays.
Of course, Chunsan Thirty-niang despised the second master, she let the second master be an undercover agent, that is, he was a tool person.
There were many twists and turns. Chunsan Thirty-Niang brought her licking dog to crush the bandits for a while, but it fell short due to the leak of the news, which attracted the Bull Demon King.
When the two fairies couldn't resist the Bull Demon King's retreat to Pansi Cave, Chun San Thirty-niang rescued the second master, perhaps because of a certain degree of loyalty.
From this moment on, Chun Thirty Niang should not be a complete passer-by to him, but a pet-like existence.
You won't fall in love with a dog, but that doesn't stop you from rewarding him with a piece of meat when you're bored.
Later, Bai Jingjing and Chun Thirty Niang turned against each other. When the two were fighting, she asked the second master, "Do you want it?"
Things took a wonderful turn.
Because this sentence had a huge impact on the second head's "dog licking" mind.
From this time on, the second-headed family's name for Chun Thirty Niang has quietly changed from master to Thirty Niang, because he really fell in love with Chun Thirty Niang.
He wanted to love her with an equal personality.
The story after that has nothing to do with "Fascinating Soul" anymore, his feelings for Chun San Thirty Niang come from the heart.
"From now on, I will love you for ten thousand years."
Chun Thirty Niang and Supreme Treasure were trapped in Dragon Stone. The former threatened Bai Jingjing to use aphrodisiac to rape and then kill the Supreme Treasure, but they used it on the second master by accident. There is a "chill" plot on the mother.
"God is blind, my spring thirtieth mother is as beautiful as a flower, and I actually have such an ugly man."
"Shut up, if it wasn't for your stomach, I would have killed you long ago."
At this time, it is not necessary to say the mentality of Chun Thirty Niang. The interesting thing is that when she said the above sentence, she was actually subconsciously prepared to compromise.
For her sake, the second master would rather give up a man's dignity and fatherhood to be a mere nurse.
The relationship between the two was extremely inclined, but they began to have room to maneuver.
At this point, when I look back at Ji Feng, who was in contact with each other at the beginning of the film, and when the second master was forced to kill Chun Thirty's mother, he was still able to calm down and pretend to be dizzy after being stabbed, and we could see a bit of meaning.
Obviously, the second master is not a born clown, he has always just pretended to be crazy and sold stupid.
Until I met the Spring Thirty Mother.
"I'm crazy, but you're still playing stupid."
The seriousness of these things is overshadowed by comedic performance, which is why we still call it comedy when we say that the core of comedy is tragedy.
Looking closely, the timeline of the movie is also interesting.
I just had a "chill" in the last moment, and the next scene will have a big belly.
And their feelings are secretly crowded in the time without the camera.
When the time came to give birth to the Spring Thirty Mother, the second master dressed as Tang Sanzang to make the Spring Thirty Mother happy (because the Spring Thirty Mother wanted to eat Tang monk meat).
At this time, the two talked and communicated with each other, and they felt like old couples, and their relationship mode was close to that of husband and wife.
After the child is born, it comes to the point sentence:
"I think it doesn't matter whether we can be a god or not and whether we can eat Tang monk meat or not. The most important thing is that we can live a good life and bring up our children in the future. Don't be a bandit like me."
Does it feel like real life? Moreover, at this time, in order to be worthy of the Spring Thirty Mother, he has long ceased to look like the bandit he used to be.
And all the unexpressed feelings of Chun San Thirty Niang towards the second master finally broke out when the two faced the Bull Demon King. She pushed them away and said:
"Listen to me, take good care of our children."
"Master."
In fact, the love between the Spring Thirty Mother and the Second Master is the inheritance of the ancient Chinese story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, just like the endless story of the scholar and the fox demon in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai". It's all the mischief of a poor scholar.
This kind of story mode itself is tiresome, but the difference between the Spring Thirty Mother and the second master is that under the mask of comedy, the second master is actually a capable and responsible man, but he is willing to be a lover. a clown.
03
The love of Supreme Treasure and Bai Jingjing
The online popularity is always the love between Zhizunbao and Fairy Zixia, which is already a kind of true love.
Few people have noticed that the Supreme Treasure and Bai Jingjing are even more fateful. From Sun Wukong to the Supreme Treasure, they have been entangled, and even if they are reincarnated, they still fall in love at first sight.
I thought Bai Jingjing was another Zixia.
Bai Jingjing won't say, "If I can't be with the person I like, I won't be happy even if I become the Jade Emperor." In this case, when faced with the choice between the person who abandoned her and the immortal, she I chose the former without hesitation.
Of course, like Zixia, Bai Jingjing also died.
In addition, when Bai Jingjing recalled how Sun Wukong abandoned her, Sun Wukong asked the little monkey to tell Bai Jingjing the original words:
"Thanks to Miss Bai's kindness, he is not lucky enough to endure it."
Why do you say "unfortunate consumption"?
Thinking about the background of the story carefully, the reason behind leaving without saying goodbye is actually that Sun Wukong was coerced to fetch the Western Sutra and could only say goodbye.
If it's just for fun, how can this world's supreme treasure fall in love at first sight, and is willing to risk her life to find Chun Shiriyaniang for her?
Their ending is the ending of most first loves in the world. No matter how entangled, the green and warm feelings can only bear the fruits of midsummer.
The fruit usually ripens in the fall.
There is no need to talk much about the progress of their relationship, because it is already fate.
What's interesting is that this time the feelings still have to leave without saying goodbye.
When Bai Jingjing was poisoned and fell into a coma, Supreme Treasure made up her mind to find Chun San Shi Niang to rescue her. When Bai Jingjing woke up, she found that her eyes were empty, and she said, "It's all a lie to me." Then she jumped off a cliff and committed suicide.
The second no-saying goodbye hints at the reason for the first no-saying goodbye:
If you don't love it, you can't.
"Supreme treasure, see you in the next life."
This is fate, just like the sentence when the Supreme Treasure was trapped in the cave and strayed into the water curtain cave:
"You haven't become Monkey King Toshi, just because you haven't met the person who gave you three moles."
With a grand and empty sense of destiny, the gods and Buddhas in the sky have already written the script for the story.
Meeting is doomed, falling in love is doomed, parting is doomed.
It was as if the Supreme Treasure could not have imagined that he had traveled five hundred years to save Bai Jingjing, but in the end he fell in love with Zixia.
Look at that man, he looks like a dog.
