The second story follows the previous one. After Jin Zihong's reincarnation, the messenger will lead the 49th (the last nobleman) Jin Xiuhong to stand trial. At this time, there was a city master god (family god) in the world, who left the old man who should have died long ago in the world. In order to restore order, the messenger and the city lord god had a confrontation. In the confrontation, they also solved the mystery of the life experience that had been hidden for thousands of years from the city lord god's mouth.  The clues laid in the first part will be echoed in the second part. With the high investment and high box office of the "Walking with God" series, it can be seen that the filmmakers intend to operate this film as a blockbuster series. Therefore, it has also committed a fault that all blockbusters have (maybe not a fault, but A feature, but it also makes it difficult to come up with new ideas), that is the perfect happy ending. The happy ending is not bad, but in this film, the ending is too happy, but it seems a bit anticlimactic. The conflicts and fetters that were foreshadowed before are suddenly resolved, and the mood that has been unable to be relieved is suddenly relieved, which seems a little unstable. At the end of the movie, Hades took a fancy to Jin Xiuhong's 8 experience of the examination and invited him to work in the underworld (doesn't the 8 examinations prove that he is not good enough?), the three messengers of course chose to forgive Xu Chunsan, who should have died long ago He can live for another six years, and the identity of Lord Pluto is also shocking - he is actually Jiang Lin's father of reconciliation, and he used the appearance of the previous Pluto in order not to be recognized. Okay, everything is a happy ending, and the fund that Chengzao bought has also risen, The underworld was made into a family business. Will the three messengers be reincarnated? This may become the biggest attraction of the latter two. "Walking With The Gods" is a blockbuster movie carefully designed for the market. Before it was released, the filmmakers were full of confidence in returning to the original. How can such a good and bad, cute and thunderous "work on the tripod" be able to create a box office miracle? Traditional core and youthful taste The traditional cultural core of Asia (South Korea) ("Buddha said Shoushengjing") (Hell said) and youthful taste make this film attractive and profound cultural empathy at the same time. "Along with God" is adapted from the comic of the same name. The original comic "Along with God" can be said to have won many awards. It has won the "Bucheon International Comic Award-Excellent Story Comic", "Korea Comic Awards President Award", and "Reader Comic Award" It has a very high popularity in the Korean comic industry. The movie made some changes based on the comics, deleting the role of the lawyer in the original comics, and leaving the defense task to the messenger of the underworld, but in the comics, the messenger is just a guide. Another very interesting change is Jiang Lin's character of reconciling resentment. In the movie, Jiang Lin is mature and steady, dissociating resentment and being humorous and unable to hold his breath, while the characters of the two in the original manga are reversed, and in the comics The resentment vein in the middle seems to be older, a middle-aged uncle, while Young Master Jiang Lin is the image of a young man.  The cast is strong and the special effects are super strong. The first and second sets are shot, and the producer is willing to spend money. The cast of the film is super luxurious, not only bringing together the three emperors and one queen (Cha Tae Hyun, Ha Jung Woo, Lee Jung Jae, Kim Ha Neul), but also Ma Dongxi in the second part. The film side invested a total of 40 billion won (about 230 million yuan), and Lotte has been planning for six years. The effect of the finished film is also amazing, and the special effects shots are more than three times that of similar Korean films before. The special effects and the plot are also well integrated. The further the story goes, the bigger the scene. The lyrical technique is more delicate and natural, and the second part is more restrained in the sensational technique than the first, so it has a feeling of "moisturizing and silent". The scene that caused the disappearance in the world was originally a tear point in the whole film that could be used to create a climax, but the director deliberately weakened the performance of this scene, which was very inadvertent. In the gap between the two turning back, Cheng Zuo suddenly turned into a light smoke and disappeared. The duration of this shot was no more than 5 seconds, and after Cheng Zuo disappeared, there was no scene of Ma Dongxi. This invisible tear-jerking method has always been a method that Koreans are good at and used to. The plot is still a bit unnatural in the big movies since ancient times, Come together to avoid but to instill values ​​in the audience. The main theme of the first part, "kindness and family affection", is very sensational. Although the sensational techniques of the second part are restrained, the follow-up of the two plot lines is not as natural as the first part. The two lines in the second part are that Jiang Lin leads Jin Xiuhong's trial, resolves resentment and Dechun in the human world and makes a deal. Although the rhythm is bright, it weakens the line between Jiang Lin and Jin Xiuhong, and the emotions lack time to brew. Another point that has been criticized is "suspense for the sake of suspense". Forcibly concealing the identity of Jiang Lin's younger brother is meaningless. The more the director does not reveal Jianglin's younger brother's face, the more the audience will suspect that this person is actually a solution to grievances. However, in most cases, multi-line narratives will converge. The more the director thinks that several lines "go hand in hand", the more likely they will appear fragmented. Deserved shock hit some discounts. But fortunately, the lack of plot was made up for by the acting skills of the actors.  The world is in a dilemma, how do people find a balance? There are no bad people in this world, only bad situations. So when you feel resentful, wronged, and incomprehensible, turn everything back and think about it, so that you will understand, these humans, the world, and the universe. One of the highlights of the "Walking with God" series is the relationship between family affection, family, morality, betrayal and redemption. From this perspective, these two films are still very meaningful.  But the line between Jiang Lin and Jin Xiuhong has been weakened, and emotions lacked time to brew.
