"Big Fish and Begonia" is a six-year-old movie, and after five years, I can't help rewatching it. The opportunity is the sudden storm in Beijing tonight, and in the past few years I have seen Big Fish, every time I encounter a heavy rainy day, I will think of many scenes and atmospheres in the movie, and faintly feel an ancient mysterious power. I also always think of the phrase "mountain and rain are coming and the wind will fill the building", and the circular earth building where Chun lives. Although the plot of the movie has been scolded many times, this is indeed the top 1 of Guoman in my heart for many years. I really love her pictures and cultural elements. Just like "Spirited Away" has a strong Japanese monster culture, "Big Fish and Begonia" also contains a set of ancient Chinese myths and legends. There are also solemn and condensed earth buildings, such a huge and cohesive architectural form, plus the configuration of various high-end gods such as "Heavenly God", and some correspondence with Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", it is very ancient Chinese cosmology. It seems that the second part will be released next year, and I hope it will continue to be good.
