The first crime and punishment:
Koreans put the aftermath of death on the big screen "Walking with God"
The second part continues. I thought the second part would be easier to watch, but I didn't expect it to be even more exciting.
For some reason, Jiang Lin fell to the ground and was awakened by Li Decun.
King Yama finally appeared, and Jiang Lin confronted him, indicating that he would seek evidence of Jin Xiuhong's murder at all costs.
The actor Ha Jung-woo...
The suit is too handsome.
Like my uncle Pu, he is usually sloppy and sloppy, but it is completely different when he only looks at the upper body when acting.
I like actors like this.
It seems that there is a big gap between normal and acting, but this is a process of free absorption and centralized release .
As the plot progresses , it was not an accident that the old man in the last episode could see the messenger of the underworld. It turned out that he had already reached the deadline for death, but the gods kept blocking it.
Before all the messengers of the underworld were driven away by the gods, King Yama gave this task to Jiang Lin.
Koreans attach importance to language etiquette in their bones, and there is no film and television drama that does not involve lines such as "honor" and "politeness", even in the "hell".
The first 139 minutes, the second 142 minutes, in a commercial film, this time is quite scary.
However, I don't feel procrastination at all when I watch it. Although there is a huge psychological influence factor like Ha Zhengyu, it is undeniable that the novel and grand storyline, the interlocking multi-line narrative, and the free and smooth cross-editing can all be very effective. Greatly reduce viewing fatigue.
In the next episode, Jie Renmai and Li Decun were asked to stay in the world, while Jiang Lin and Jin Xiuhong started their " road trip ".
Because Jin Xiuhong didn't call for help, Jiang Lin commented.
I want to borrow this sentence and say it to Ha Zhengyu.
After watching so many Korean movies and so many Korean actors, Ha Zhengyu is the only one who has a deep impression on him. It is a kind of fit from the inside out.
Jin Xiuhong has always had this attitude of "don't die", and I agree with his mentality.
Reincarnating as a human is still repeating life again, which seems to be meaningless.
However, Jiang Lin was the complete opposite of Jin Xiuhong, who wanted to be reincarnated too much.
Jin Xiuhong was curious about his life experience, and Jiang Lin finally began to tell.
For thousands of years, this moment has repeatedly flashed in Jiang Lin's mind.
Jiang Lin's eyes before he died were very complicated.
There is sadness, despair, unwillingness, pain, remorse, and resentment.
Therefore, at that time King Yama repeatedly asked him why he was crying.
Jiang Lin began to tell the story of his youth, the little actor called Zheng Weian. This is how much he prefers Ha Zhengyu to find such a handsome young man to play the role.
Jiang Lin has a younger brother , a Khitan orphan taken in by his father during the war. But in Jiang Lin's opinion, his father favored his younger brother too much, so he always harbored resentment .
Jiang Lin's underworld line of reconciliation and resentment, and Li Decun's human line have been intersecting .
Here, Jie Qimai and Li Dechun reached a consensus with the same family god to protect the old man and grandson's family together.
The human line is narrated by the family god.
The family god informed Jie Gumai and Li Decun of their identities. It turned out that the story between them and Jiang Lin had already started thousands of years ago.
Jurchen is Jiang Lin's younger brother , and Li Decun is the Jurchen who Jiang Lin could not bear to kill but rescued .
Here you can see the goodwill in Jieqimai's heart. Originally, they were enemies of each other. When he learned that Li Dechun was taking care of all the Jurchen children who had lost their parents, he let go of his killing intent and turned enemies into friends.
For the country, it is treasonous behavior to relieve the grievances and use military rations to rescue the Jurchen.
This incident was finally discovered by Jiang Lin, so he came to kill the resentment vein, one is to execute the punishment for treason, and the other is to release his resentment over the years.
Although Jiang Lin killed the solution of resentment , he was attacked by Li Dechun from behind , and he also turned around and killed Li Decun with a sword , and the three fell into the snow at the same time.
This plot is different from what I thought. I thought it was to solve the grievances and try to take revenge, killing Jiang Lin's father, and then planning to kill Jiang Lin, but in the process, the appearance of Li Dechun changed the situation again. . Because the grievances and grievances of the three are too intertwined, so let them work together in the underworld for thousands of years.
Although this film sets Jiang Lin as the one who killed everyone , it seems to have a greater sense of reversal , but in terms of credibility, it is not particularly high.
It's not the protagonist's halo, but Jiang Lin really felt very "positive" from the beginning, including when he wanted to prove that Jin Xiuhong was framed by his brother, he was more like complaining about himself.
Of course, a thousand years is a long time, and perhaps Jiang Lin has changed a lot. When we first saw Jiang Lin, it was already a thousand years later. Now he really regrets it and wants to help those who have experienced the same change.
However, as an outsider, if you think rationally enough, you will find that what happened a thousand years ago is not always Jiang Lin's fault.
First of all , adopting an orphan from a foreign enemy was originally a matter that needed to be handled with great care. Not only did his father handle it more casually, but he also ignored Jiang Lin's feelings. It was his father's neglect that made Jiang Lin continue to accumulate jealousy and finally resentful.
Secondly , although resolving grievances is an act of kindness, under the special background of the war period, not only did they leave the enemy’s life behind, but they also deceived their own military supplies to give to them. This is an act of military treason and should be punished.
Third , seeing Jiang Lin kill and resolve the grievance vein, Li Dechun stabbed Jiang Lin to death in the back, which is an act to protect the grievance vein, and Jiang Lin turned around and killed Li Decun because he was stabbed, which is also an act of protecting himself .
The above behaviors of Jiang Lin make sense in principle.
His only and deepest sin was seeing his father dying and not helping him.
Of course, for Jiang Lin to do this, he cannot attribute all the reasons to himself, nor can his father's fault be ignored.
Is this kind of thinking protecting Jiang Lin?
otherwise.
The most clear in the movie is the family god.
When the family god told Jieqimai and Li Dechun about his life experience, he also said something like this:
Deeply agree.
For the family god, he has seen the world affairs for thousands of years, and will find that the right and wrong, right and wrong in the details of life, put in thousands of years, are not so important.
This also tells us not to be too fussy in life, because there are no absolute bad people, only inappropriate situations.
This summer, I wrote a long review of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and I also saw the entanglement and entanglement between people. In fact, there is no absolute right or absolute wrong, but people insist on distinguishing black and white in reality. So the dead are dead, and the scattered are scattered.
Just like the appearance of the house god, at first, one would think that he was a "bad person", preventing Jiang Lin and the others from reincarnating, but after getting to know him, he felt that he was a "good person" who guarded the old man's family.
It seems that good and bad are always changing, but in fact there are no "good people" and "bad people" at all, just different situations and different perspectives.
I don't understand Korean and am not sure if this translation is appropriate. If the god of the house really said something like "these people, the world, and the universe", to express admiration, from human feelings, talking about the world, and then to the universe, this is the deepest philosophical thought in the heart of man.
When the family god said this, he disappeared. He didn't pay attention to the grievances, and continued to ask—
When the family god told Jieqimai, he did not mention the name of " Jiang Lin ", but kept saying " secret words ".
I miss the family god is doing it on purpose, and I don't want Jieqimai to feel resentment towards Jiang Lin.
However, at this time, he still did not really understand the meaning of the family god.
Therefore, when he looked at the Korean characters written by the little boy, combined with the words of the family god, he suddenly realized that the word "secret words", when looked upside down, was "Jiang Lin".
That's right, it was Jiang Linsha who understood the grievances. However, should the resentment at this time really hate the current Jiang Lin?
Don't forget Li Dechun .
In the battle a thousand years ago, he killed countless enemies, even ordinary people, including Li Dechun's parents and family members.
After knowing that Li Decun's parents were killed by him, Jie Qimai never had the courage to tell Li Decun about it. He didn't want to ask Li Dechun's forgiveness until he was about to be chased by Jiang Lin .
Li Dechun, who learned the truth, was shocked at first, then cried and hugged to understand the grudge, and she forgave him .
Why can you be forgiven? One is because Xie Qimai killed Li Dechun's parents in a hostile state, and the other is because Xie Qimai met Li Dechun and the children she was carrying, and betrayed the country to help them.
So, this also confirms the house god's words, there are no real bad people, only bad situations.
In fact, Li Dechun first heard the family god tell her that when Xieqimai killed her parents thousands of years ago, her attitude towards Xieqimai changed instantly, and she ignored him.
She doesn't remember ever killing her parents, but she doesn't remember ever forgiving him.
However, later, Li Dechun reconciled the resentment and restored his friendship. This is the second time that Li Decun has forgiven the resentment.
The same is true for Jiang Lin and Jie Renmai.
Today's grievance resolution is the grievance resolution that has been with Jiang Lin for a thousand years. After reading the two films, we know that the relationship between them is very good and they have a common goal.
If they turned against each other because they learned of the grievance with Jiang Lin a thousand years ago, what was the relationship between these thousand years? That is really punishing the present self with the mistakes of the past.
At this moment, do you remember what Jin Zihong always said in the first movie, " Don't waste new tears because of the past. "
In this world, people actually go back and forth between forgiveness and forgiveness.
The family god said, " If you think about it in reverse, you can understand everything ." I think it is more expressing the mutual understanding between people.
Whenever there is unpleasantness with someone, anger and resentment cannot solve the problem. If you think from the perspective of the other person and understand the reason for his actions, everything will be less complicated.
For a moment, what is it? Not every one of us is going back and forth between this world and the underworld, never stopping.
So I quite understand that Jin Xiuhong doesn't care about reincarnation, he sees this thing clearly, who saves who, who kills who is not that important, as if everything is illusory.
As he said later--
He didn't care that much about whether he was killed or not at all. Of course, if he was, he would be sad, if not, it wouldn't matter.
Jiang Lin is the one who cares about these things . He cares about the sophistication of people, about forgiveness and being forgiven. He wants to forget all the pain he once had, and he wants to return to the world to live a good life again.
He has been helping others to be judged, and in fact he is the one who is waiting for the ultimate judgment.
He has always wanted his father's forgiveness.
This forgiveness is very much like the first Jin Zihong wanted to get his mother's forgiveness.
The second part is called the Final Judgment. On the surface, it is Jin Xiuhong's Final Judgment, but it is actually Jiang Lin's Final Judgment.
In the underworld, how can a person be judged not guilty of murder? See if you get the forgiveness of the slain.
Jiang Lin's father, have you forgiven him?
I thought, yes.
In fact, from the moment he died, Jiang Lin had already forgiven him because he said—
A person who can become King Yama has a different view on many things than ordinary people.
Just like when he was able to save the youth's grievance vein at the beginning, and then he cultivated it with heart after discovering the ability to solve the grievance vein, what kind of mind and tolerance is this.
Only those who can let go of everything can be qualified as King Yama.
Today's Jin Xiuhong is also such a person, he understands a lot of things. King Yama also understood him.
Thousands of years have passed, and perhaps the next King Yama will be Jin Xiuhong.
Jin Xiuhong plays Jin Dongxu, who is also very handsome. Maybe he was influenced by the shape of the ghost in the first movie and didn't notice it.
The second part, the "road" journey between Jin Xiuhong and Jiang Lin, is really cute, humorous and pleasing to the eye.
The two traveled together through jungles, deserts, oceans, and Jurassic Park... The Korean-style hodgepodge could have been more violent.
I think it is necessary to insert a picture of Jianglin's boating. For me, his meaning is to remind me of my uncle Pu again. It's like Captain Jack is possessed.
In the future, I will have more respect for Korean blockbusters.
The heart that strives to become better is obvious.
Even King Yama said not to touch stocks.
It's amazing to be able to say such lines.
What's even more amazing is that South Korea's stock market was rescued by China.
Speaking of ourselves, there are very few movies about death on the big screen these days.
Japan has already had "The Engulfer", and the United States has also filmed "Dream Travel". Now South Korea is going to make "Walking with the Gods" into a series. We really need to consider this type of theme.
We can also look at this matter rationally and calmly, and let more people feel and think about it through the form of movies.
In fact, this "Walking with God", to say how good it is, is actually not there. The reason I particularly like it is, of course, first and foremost because it is Ha Jung-woo, but at a deeper level, it is the depth of its core.
The second part has two names, one is the final judgment, and the other is the cause and the predestined relationship .
I prefer the latter.
Judgment is an appearance, and behind the judgment lies the inextricable connections between people.
Everything has cause and effect, everything has a certain number. After reading "Walking With God", I kept reciting the poem involuntarily:
Things are people, not everything, let the tears flow first
I don't know why
Leave it here for now
