Most people are less optimistic about the sequel movie, whether it can surpass it is another matter, and it is fortunate that it can maintain the level of the previous one.
But for this one, I have been waiting for the movie for more than half a year. After watching it, I just want to say: I didn't wait in vain.
"Walking with God 2: Cause and Destiny"
Compared to the previous work, this one is not perfect, but it is definitely an improvement.
This is not Xiaoying Hu Chuihaikan, everyone who has seen it is calling crazy!
As the sequel of "Walking with God: Crime and Punishment", "Walking with God 2: Cause and Destiny", the number of viewers on the premiere day broke the record for the highest number of viewers on the opening day in South Korea, reaching 1.24 million (South Korea's population of 5,100). around 10,000).
Up to now, the number of viewers has exceeded 12 million, which is equivalent to 1 out of every 5 Koreans watching the film.
The first is the story of firefighter Jin Zihong, who was led by the messengers of the underworld to pass through the seven barriers of murder, laziness, deceit, injustice, betrayal, violence, and family relationships, and finally be reincarnated.
In the second part, the main story line was opened with the unjust death case of Jin Zihong's younger brother Jin Xiuhong.
In this one, the pattern is bigger than the first one, and there are more story lines——
Route 1: The Jianglin messenger led Jin Xiuhong to start a trip to hell again, passing through one difficulty after another.
Route 2: The two younger brothers of the Jianglin messenger resolved their grievances, and Dechun went to the world to collect the souls of the three elders of Xu Chun. But Xu Chunsan was surrounded by a more powerful God of Creation, so he never went to the underworld to report.
It is worth mentioning that the actor who became the god of creation is the iron-armed warm-hearted man Ma Dongxi in "Train to Busan" who beat up the zombies to protect his pregnant wife.
In the film, Ma Dongxi continued the warm man to the end, not only guarding the old man Xu Chunsan day and night, but also taking good care of his grandson.
He only hoped that the old man could send his grandson to primary school and then die.
In order to satisfy the desire to become a god of creation, Jieqiang and Dechun stayed, so the third line of the story was also launched.
Line 3: It turns out that he was also a messenger from the underworld before he became a god of creation. He promised to tell Xie Qimai and Dechun the memories of the two people in the world 1,000 years ago.
At the same time, the Jianglin envoy was also recalling his memories 1,000 years ago.
This also leads to the fourth line of the film.
Seeing this, you should also understand that neither the story line of Jin Xiuhong nor the story line of the old man Xu Chunsan is the focus of the film.
The focus of the film is the past and present of the trio of messengers from the underworld.
In the past life, the solution of resentment was a legendary samurai of Goryeo, White Cat Fox, who specialized in dealing with Jurchen at the border.
Dechun is a descendant of Jurchen, and her parents were killed to resolve their grievances.
And the solution of resentment is the younger brother of Jianglin messenger who has always been resentful.
In the end, Jieqimai and Dechun both died under Jiang Lin's sword.
The three of them died together after some cannibalism.
Seeing this, you should be able to understand-
The four branches of the original story, which seem to be fragmented, are in fact inseparable.
This also echoes the title of the movie "Walking with God 2: Cause and Destiny".
In the play, Jiang Lin took Jin Xiuhong to go to hell bravely, and constantly regained his memories of a thousand years ago.
In fact, this is also a process in which he himself is constantly being judged.
His indifference to his father, and his guilt for Jieqimai and Dechun are the torment he has caused himself in the past 1,000 years.
Failing to seek forgiveness from these three, he has been living a hellish life.
As everyone knows, time is already the best antidote, and the three of them each found their memories 1,000 years ago—
Solving the grievances, Dechun had already forgiven their boss.
And his father, in fact, had already forgiven him, and even thought that everything was his own fault. King Yama, who accompanied Jiang Lin along the way, was actually his father's change, but he just changed his skin.
As the movie says at the end:
"Everyone in this world lives with the most abuse, but only some of them show sincere courage to get forgiveness, and only a few of them can get sincere forgiveness."
Everyone is bound to make mistakes, and the Hellbringer is no exception.
When you encounter difficulties and don’t know how to solve them, and don’t know whether to continue resentment or forgiveness, just think about what the god of creation said:
"There are no absolute bad people in the world, only bad situations. When you can't understand it, look back."
Good and evil are rewarded in the end, and when you redeem others, you are also redeeming yourself.
