In the last part, we said, the good and evil of human nature in the movie "Walking with God: Crime and Punishment"!
After the first one, the second movie "Walking with God: Cause and Destiny" came into being!
However, the content of the second movie was strongly resisted by many Chinese and Korean netizens, and even gave differential evaluations!
However, once the film was released, in just 20 days, the total global box office exceeded 400 million!
And today, let's talk about the movie "Walking with God: Cause and Destiny" in detail!
Movie title "Walking with God: Crime and Punishment"
Following the successful reincarnation of the "noble man" Jin Zihong, Jin Zihong's younger brother Jin Xiuhong was selected as the "noble man".
It's hard to imagine that in the plot of the first movie, Jin Xiuhong turned into a ghost who ravaged the world, and could still be selected as a "noble man".
Jiang Lin witnessed the whole process of Jin Xiuhong's death with his own eyes, and firmly believed that Jin Xiuhong's death was not an accident!
As Jin Xiuhong, as a "noble person", according to the protection law of the underworld, once the status of "noble person" is identified, the messengers of the underworld have the responsibility and obligation to defend the noble person.
Moreover, Jin Xiuhong is the 49th noble of the trio of messengers of Jiang Lin, Jieqimai and Li Dechun.
As long as 49 people are successfully reincarnated within a thousand years, then the three of them will naturally have the chance to be reincarnated!
The success or failure of this defense, Jiang Lin is bound to win!
As the king of the underworld, King Yama will naturally keep his promises, but he also has a thorny problem.
There is an old man named " Xu Chunsan " in the world, who has long passed the age of death, but has been unable to report to the underworld.
King Yama sent several waves of messengers from the underworld, but they all came back without success!
The reason is that Xu Chunsan lives in a house god—the god of creation (played by Ma Dongxi).
Therefore, Jiang Lin, Jieqimai, and Li Dechun added another condition:
Within 49 days, in addition to the reincarnation of Jin Xiuhong, an old man named Xu Chunsan in the world will be brought to the underworld for trial.
After that, the three messengers from the underworld split up, and Jiang Lin took Jin Xiuhong through the trial of the seven kings of hell.
What Jiang Lin could not have imagined was that the next trial would be a trial for himself after thousands of years of repentance!
On the other side, Jie Qimai and Li Dechun were responsible for recalling Xu Chunsan.
The process of recalling Xu Chunsan is not complicated:
Find the jar that Xu Chunsan worships the god of creation, and break it! While Xu Chunsan was sleeping soundly
However, becoming a god is far from being as easy to deal with as imagined!
After a few tricks, Jieqimai and Li Dechun were treated obediently, and knelt quietly in front of Chengzao God.
It turns out that the God of Chengzao is more qualified than Jieqimai and Li Dechun. Thousands of years ago, the God of Chengcao was also a messenger from the underworld, and he was also an important person who brought Jiang Lin, Jieqimai and Li Dechun into the underworld!
However, Xie Renmai and Li Dechun were wiped out of their memories by King Yama and could not know their past lives.
Chengzao God is the only person who knows their identities at present, so he asks Chengzao God hard.
At this time, the story line changed from two to three, and the tragedy of the story and even the confession of God also kicked off.
1000 years ago, Jiang Lin was the son of Jiang Wenzhi, a general of the Koryo tribe.
Later, his father, Jiang Wenzhi, adopted a Khitan child who had lost his parents because of his humanitarianism.
The grievance vein has grown rapidly. Whether it is in the military's tactical layout or in the growth of personal swordsmanship, he has shown extraordinary talent.
Jiang Lin's jealousy and fear made him go on the road of no return; killing his father and killing his younger brother made him a monstrous sinner.
In addition to laziness, all the crimes of lies, injustice, betrayal, violence, murder, and Tianlun were not spared. Jiang Lin's sins were unforgivable.
However, Jiang Lin did not need to be tried, but was chosen by King Yama to become a "ghost messenger".
Jiang Lin's memories of his lifetime were preserved, and he promised King Yama that as long as 49 nobles were reincarnated within 1,000 years, the memories could be eliminated and reincarnated.
It sounds like a good deal, but the hell King Yama let him suffer is the cruelest Avici hell out of the seven hells.
" Your Majesty, the one who speaks has no words, the one whose nose is between the names, there is no temporary pleasure in the middle, so the name is endless. " - "The Great Nirvana Sutra"!
In the endless hell, there is never any hope of liberation.
In addition to suffering, there is absolutely no other feeling, and suffering is endless, the body is endless, the time is endless, and the shape is endless.
For thousands of years, Jiang Lin has been living in pain and self-blame, enduring torment.
So thousands of years later, when Jiang Lin saw that Lieutenant Park also made a big mistake because of a single thought, he seemed to see himself who had decided to leave in the snowy night.
The difference is that he still has a chance to save the tragedy from happening. While defending the "noble man" Jin Xiuhong, Jiang Lin is actually making a confession for himself for being a thousand years late!
Of course, there are still many themes to be expressed in the movie "Walking with God 2: Cause and Destiny", for example , the father 's love after the priceless love of the mother, and the inherent goodness of human nature after the good and evil of human nature .
The addition of the God of Creation, played by Ma Dongxi, perfectly illustrates these two points.
Although there is no blood relationship between him and Xiandong, the role he plays in the family is the "father".
Invest, paint, protect your family, just like the father we remember.
He may not be very rich, he may not dress very tastefully, and he may even be a little sloppy, but he will carry the whole family and move forward silently, leaving the best for the children, and using his tall body to shield the children from the wind and rain.
He is what the family needs him to be like.
The most touching thing is that Cheng Zao Shen was calm and calm when he died, explaining "the true meaning of human nature" to the audience.
" There are no so-called bad people in this world, only bad situations. So when you complain, when you complain that you can't understand, think about everything backwards, and then there will be an answer. "
Compared with the previous episode, the scene of fierce fights with the devil in hell has been reduced, and the boxing advantage of the strong man Ma Dongxi is no longer prominent.
However, the adapted film still focuses on a family relationship that is very flexible and can be repaired despite the scars. It is difficult to comment on whether the two completely different stories are better or worse, but judging from the box office performance, family love is indeed a commercial film. One of the keys to success in the Asian market.
At the beginning, we said that the word-of-mouth evaluation of the movie "Walking with God: Cause and Destiny" is not as good as the first film, and even met with strong resistance from many Chinese and Korean netizens!
There are two main reasons for this:
1. Korean actor Oh Dal-soo sexually assaulted an actress
Wu Dazhu, a golden supporting role, is known as a "national-level green-leaf actor"!
He has brought many classic movies to the audience, among which "The Gift of Room 7", "The Defender", "Tunnel" and so on all have his presence.
However, in February 2018, Wu Dazhu was revealed by netizens that he stretched his claws against the actresses of the same troupe more than 20 years ago, and then another actress Yan Zhiying came forward to accuse Wu Dazhu of being sexually assaulted.
Later, Oh Dal-soo issued a statement, " I'm sorry for the victim girl A and Miss Um Ji-young, and will take responsibility and bear the punishment she deserves. "
As soon as the statement came out, the Korean people were in an uproar, and the once praised "National Green Leaf" completely collapsed in an instant.
At the same time, all the films in which Oh Da-soo participated were affected, of which "Walking with God: Cause and Destiny" was the most popular, which was strongly resisted by the Korean people.
In desperation, the crew could only delete all the scenes of Wu Dazhu, and found Zhao Xuezhe to make up the scenes, so Wu Dazhu was not found in "Walking with God: Cause and Destiny".
2. The grievance between Goryeo and Jurchen
The movie "Walking with the Gods: Cause and Destiny" deeply depicts the battle scene between the Koryo and the Jurchen. The bloody scenes of the war once made Chinese audiences doubt history.
However, looking at the history of thousands of years of changes in the Chinese era, all major historical events have not participated in the Korean Peninsula, and it can even be considered that South Korea is too small to affect the development of China.
From the perspective of a border frontier, it is at most a small friction between the border clans!
But from the perspective of the North Korean people, it seems that the historical plot is exaggerated intentionally or unintentionally, leaving the viewers with a cruel and brainless fact of the Jurchen tribe!
Secondly, all the Jurchens in the movie speak fluent Mandarin, and anyone who sees it will imply that the brutal Jurchens in the movie are Chinese.
Of course, the Jurchens are part of the Chinese nation.
However, in the movie "Walking with God: Cause and Destiny", it is not based on facts.
According to the age of the film, General Jiang Wenzhi of South Korea, it belongs to the Jin Dynasty at that time.
The Jurchen people in the Jin Dynasty did not use Chinese, but the Jurchen language .
Jurchen is the national language used by the ancient Jurchen from the 10th century to the beginning of the 15th century. Jurchen belongs to the ancient language of the Man-Tungus family of the Altaic language family, that is, the ancestral language of the Manchu language.
The three main sources of Jurchen are Turkic, Khitan, ancient Mongolian and middle Mongolian.
It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the Manchu script really replaced the Jurchen script, and the Chinese language also developed.
Therefore, the Mandarin spoken by the actors in the movie is against history!
Since the filming of "Walking With the Gods", it has been determined that it will be a series of films. One or two films will also be filmed in one year, and they will be completed together and released separately.
Compared with the Hollywood series with a complete film and television industry system and a mature model, the two 140-minute "Walking With the Gods" are enough to show the many shortcomings of Korean commercial films.
But aside from the two major drawbacks, this Korean commercial film is still a success!
