Knowing the truth, my tears fell and I just wanted to say one thing!! I really deserved 12 years of "difficult labor"! !
Then I still want to briefly talk about the reason why Big Fish and Begonia, who have been "difficult to give birth" for twelve years, "deserved for their sins"!
PART 1 Detail
Control, Force Virgo to Death It can be clearly seen in the picture that not only the names and time of the deceased, but also the cause of death of these people can be seen. Some suffered from stomach problems, while Kun was killed in a shipwreck.
The couplet at the entrance of Ling Po’s residence comes from the Buddhist couplet inscribed by Emperor Qianlong in the Falun Hall of Lama Temple in Beijing. Generally speaking, the first two sentences come from the Heart Sutra: “Sarizi, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form , Feeling, thinking, deed, and consciousness, the same is true. Sariputra, the emptiness of all dharmas, neither arising nor perishing, neither impure nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing."
Source of the main scene In Fujian Tulou, it can embody the ancient people's cognition of "round the sky" and "living together with the same surname".
"The sky is round and the place" comes from an embodiment of the ancient theory of yin and yang. Taoists believe that: "the round sky" must be harmonious in mind in order to be accessible; "the place" must be strictly regulated in the order of things; Chinese traditional culture advocates "the unity of nature and man" , pay attention to imitating nature, and the principle of "round sky and place" in Feng Shui is a special annotation to this cosmology.
"Housing together with the same surname" is also a product of the traditional Chinese patriarchal system. Chinese surnames have continued for four or five thousand years. They have always been the main external manifestation of the traditional Chinese clan concept, and record the Chinese nation's history in a special form of blood culture. form and multiply. In the Fuxi era about 5,000 years ago, surnames were defined as hereditary and passed on by the patriarchal line. The clan concept was deeply rooted, and there was the custom of living together with the same surname and cultivating family clans. Countless groups of the same surname were formed in China. (I think that my father also came out of X's village, and my surname was replaced on the lantern. I guess I would be a little excited when I saw it.)
Fujian Tulou is the crystallization of the architectural wisdom of the two, and it should be used in the film. It is to increase the audience's resonance and national identity to the traditional culture in the film.
Although there are only a few brief illustrations, it must be seen that the crew of the Virgo plot is also very painstaking in the setting of props and scenes, so chasing the extreme will naturally increase the difficulty of film production.
PART 2
increases knowledge, scary serious face
The 30 character posters announced by the official before, each character has its own story or legend behind it, each one is a drama, and each one is also a tear!
In addition to the protagonists Chun, Kun and Qiu, who have long been known to the audience, the characters are derived from "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou", and there are also characters from various myths and legends and ancient books, such as the Chisong of the Rain Master of Shennong. The son, Zhu Rong, the god of fire who rides the dragon in clouds, Lei Zu, the mother of the silkworm, Shennong, who knows all kinds of herbs, etc.
There are many articles analyzing characters, here is just the following.
Spirit Po & Rat Po/Cat and Mouse Games
The ghost woman who lives in Tongtian Pavilion is in charge of the dead souls of good people and accompanies cats;
the rat granny who violates the rules of heaven is always in the lower realm, and she controls the transformation of The mouse of the evil spirit;
one righteous and one evil, symbolized by the natural enemies of cats and mice, good and evil.
In addition to the characters, the source of details of myths and legends is also the highlight of the play.
trailer
of the final version of the movie, the plot of Chun, in order to save Kun, caused the natural disaster of the ominous thing, the connecting sea and sky gate failed, and the sky of this world became a hole, The backflow of sea water in the human world caused floods in this world, and the chinchilla, which was in charge of the growth of begonia flowers, finally turned into a begonia tree, which struggled to grow and eventually filled the tiankeng.
Tsubaki's way of redeeming himself for his own faults this time is similar to the ancient myth of Nuwa mending the sky.
Phoenix Nirvana
is also a natural disaster that triggers ominous things. The begonia tree summons the phoenix through spontaneous combustion, and the phoenix flies to the fire.
Legend has it since ancient times that the phoenix symbolizes happiness in the world. Every five hundred years, the phoenix must bear all the pain, grievances and hatred accumulated in the world, throw itself into the raging fire, and exchange the end of life and beauty for the peace and happiness of the world.
Here, the phoenix is reborn through the ashes of Nirvana, does it symbolize the rebirth after the natural disaster, and the home has reached a state of eternal security, peace, happiness and tranquility?
In the process of creation, film creators do not know how much information they have repeatedly read, studied, and traveled to many places before they can let audiences watch a movie and have to look up dictionaries, read the Book of Mountains and Seas, and learn the connotation of Zhuangzi, no wonder " Dystocia" twelve years.
Twelve years, how long?
144 months, 4380 days.
The zodiac goes around once.
Life is counted in hundreds, and one-eighth of life has passed.
However, twelve years is the time for a "Big Fish and Begonia".
I think such "Big Fish and Begonia" should be born out of a cocoon and make an appointment with you.
PS: This is a comment that I didn't want to post, but I decided to post it out of my love for Big Fish. When the movie comes out with high-definition resources, I think we can continue to dig deeper. Although the big fish is not perfect, I believe she is full of hope and works hard enough.
