Normal but not that bad (the Great Sage is like that)

Generally speaking, it's not that bad. In fact, I feel that it is similar to Dasheng, and they are making domestic films with all their hearts but there are many problems. However, the Great Sage is a dark horse. This film is too much touted, and as a result, the audience expects too much and is so disappointed.

In fact, it can be seen that the screenwriter is also working hard. It is estimated that he has seen a lot of comics and animations, done a lot of research, and tried his best to use his imagination to construct a world. However, he obviously lacks rich life experience, so the strong emotions and gorgeous designs are on the contrary. False Dakong's self-contradiction can't move audiences who have higher and higher tastes. It feels like an otaku fantasy about the world of ocean adventure and love. It is recommended to fall in love more and go to Southeast Asia to get a diving certificate or something.

Compared with the "Red Turtle" I just watched, there are many similarities, but Hong's story is extremely simple and the scene is not complicated, but it can emotionally move people and visually shock people. Therefore, to write a good script, you must not only work hard, but also experience life, experience different things and meet different people in order to have enough creative sources (well, you need to find an excuse for love playing...)

Big Fish & Begonia quotes

  • Lingpo: What brings you to the Island of Souls?

    Chun: There's a soul I'm looking for: the soul of a human boy

    Lingpo: What time was it he died?

    Chun: It was two days before the wheat harvest.

    Lingpo: You need to be sure of the date. Otherwise you're searching for a needle in a haystack. So many die every day.

    Chun: I'm sure. It was my birthday.

    Lingpo: I know what you're trying to do, girl, and it goes against the laws of nature!

    Chun: I don't care. I've got to save him!

    Lingpo: The punishment is harsh for those who defy nature, no matter who you are, so you *should* care.

    Chun: But I owe him, for saving my life.

    Lingpo: How very touching. I've been stuck here for 800 years, and I'm still not done paying penance for my sin!

    Chun: But you didn't...!

    Lingpo: Don't interrupt! Let me tell you what real tragedy is. Meeting someone you care about so much you forget yourself and make a mistake. So then you go back and try to fix it and make things right again, and then you learn that fixing it's impossible.

    [chuckles]

    Lingpo: We can never undo the wrongs we've done. This I know.

    Chun: You're saying you won't help me?

    Lingpo: I'm saying I pity you. Besides, resurrecting someone from the dead doesn't come cheap.

    Chun: What would it cost?

    Lingpo: No less than a lovely girl's loveliest features: your eyes.

    Chun: [winces]

    Lingpo: [laughing] Now she's scared.

    [chuckles]

    Lingpo: Don't want to give up your pretty eyes, eh? All right, I'll take half your life instead.

    Chun: If that'll save him, take it.
