I wasn't too happy after watching this movie. Although the Hollywood-style carnival dance at the end of the film sets the tone of comedy for the film, I think the three views of this film are incorrect. Although many scenes are Hollywoodized, in the core of this film, it is not Very inconsequential.
The main theme of Hollywood is: 1. For the sake of the children, I can abandon everything; for the relatives, I can abandon everything. 2. Diaosi must counterattack, from a little boy to a big man. From a person who cannot take responsibility, to a person who dares to take responsibility and is willing to take responsibility.
In other words, the main theme of Hollywood propaganda is: individualization and independence. We often see a lot of Hollywood movies in which a person can fight an entire country in order to save his wife or children. Compared with the country, the individual is more important; we often see the complex of diaosi's counterattack, and the ending must be that the loser begins to grow into a person with more shoulders.
But in our blockbuster, there may not be such a complex.
"Monster Hunt" mainly tells the following story: 1. This is a world where monsters are segregated. 2. In the chaos of the demon world, a demon queen escaped. The demon queen has seeds. When the demon queen is about to die, she leaves the seeds to a diaosi man. 3. The diaosi hero and the diaosi heroine take this monster to receive the reward. Then go back and save that monster. After saving the demon seed, let it return to the demon world and start his own journey of chasing his father.
(Sorry for the spoiler here. But if you haven't watched it yet, you don't have to watch it.)
Apart from the not-so-good-looking martial arts drama, the biggest buying point for this drama is to abandon it twice. The male protagonist threw a newborn baby away, sent it to death, rescued it, and then forced it to go away with vicious words, just like his father did to him back then.
I can only say that this film is too real, so real that I want to go to the cinema to escape from reality, and I can't accept it.
This is a story without a man. All are babies, and all are "eating" all they can without any scruples. All are hungry.
Monster hunters are very hungry, and they can fight each other to catch monsters. People who eat monsters are also very hungry. In order to give birth to children, for the desire to speak, they can kill monsters like boys and girls alive. Yao Chen's killing stunt has become the funniest paragraph in the film, but the funny content cannot be carefully thought about. - It was so bloody.
Even the rescuers are hungry. The parents of the baby are a diaosi man and a woman. Men do women's things, and women do men's things. What did they gain in raising their children? There seems to be nothing.
In the end, the male protagonist suddenly understood that my mission was to find my father and ask him why he abandoned me. If he knew that he was saddened to be abandoned, then why didn't he have any sympathy for the little demon who regarded him as his mother? Because he couldn't care less about it, he didn't have the ability to digest the pain of separation, and could only throw the pain on this child, just like how his father treated him.
Why couldn't he treat the child in a softer way?
Let's take a look at the male protagonist's growth experience since he was a child. Dad left him in a rude way, and then his only caregiver, grandma, was also in a semi-crazy state. What about the demons? There is no respect for him, and he will be thrown into a mess at every turn, or let him be a female celebrity. Did anyone treat him tenderly in the environment he grew up in? Did someone help him digest and deal with the pain when he was uncomfortable? Someone told him, what is love?
The heroine was also abandoned by her father. She saw her father was killed by a demon with her own eyes, and then she began to wander. She is also an outcast.
Why this drama is so popular may be because it is too real, so real that it may reflect our era - an era with only babies and no mothers, an era with only boys and no men, and an era with only female men, But there is no time for women.
In such a world, the relationship between people and people is the relationship between eating and being eaten. There is no understanding, no empathy, no love, only need and use.
On the contrary, we can see more "human nature" on the demon. Do you care about the life or death of a man who repeatedly hunts you down? You are more likely to have the idea that you want him to die quickly, but the demon can save the people who are chasing them. Would you embrace your parents who abandoned you without any hesitation? It may be difficult for you to accept, but the demon will.
What I saw was the human nature that was finally awakened in the hero and heroine, but in the end, it was easily covered by this sentence: "Let it return to the world of demons, which is the best destination for it." Are these words familiar? Many parents don't say to their children, "This is for your own good." But even if it is for my own good, do I have the right to participate and decide what is good for me?
Maybe even if the male protagonist finds his father, he gets this sentence, but the pain of being abandoned over the years can really be magically cured by this sentence?
It is difficult for anyone with parents to accept such an ending, that is, you abandon the child on the front foot, and the child on the back foot dances and sings with others heartlessly.
If a person can be abandoned by his parents and can change from sadness to happiness overnight, it can only mean that the child has been hurt so badly that he can't have normal mourning.
This age is full of babies.
Why do you say that? Because when a person can't digest their emotions and has to dump them on others, force them to accept the pain, and then tell them it's for your own good, the dumper is a baby. Just like the male protagonist's father can't bear the pain of separation and treats the child in a rude way, the male protagonist can't talk to the child well, because his heart can't bear these emotions.
At the psychological level, whoever helps who bears the other's emotions is the parent, and whoever cannot bear his own pain is the child.
One roared at his own child: I work so hard and come home and take you out to play? Can't you be considerate and considerate of your parents? The moment he was talking, he was the son, and his son was his father, because he ignored the child's mood and let the child unilaterally understand him.
A mother said to her child: You are so old and still unmarried, you make mother worry so much, are you okay with it? At the moment of speaking, she also put the burden of solving her own mood on the child, and let the child bear more for her face and needs.
I have seen that many so-called "filial piety" is a one-sided need that overemphasizes the needs of parents, and our culture rarely mentions the inner experience of children. Like in this play, the child is the object of being eaten and abandoned. The one who saves the child is always far away. And the monsters that are hunted and eaten are more human than humans. And when the hunted demon saves the demon hunter, the demon hunter truly understands what love is. This love is not because of interests or status, but because he is a life, so, He is worthy of being saved and worthy of being loved.
In the so-called human world, the ultimate boss is actually a monster under a multi-layered mask. The reason why he can become the most successful person in the human world is because the logic that prevails in this world is actually the logic of demons. On the contrary, we can see that there is mutual care and friendship in the world of demons.
So, which world is more human?
When there is no empathy and basic understanding in our world, the world is the world of demons. My consultation room is the demon subduing room. I often see two extremely hungry demons, both wanting to eat each other, wanting the other to feed their own blood, but at the same time they treat each other as scum and do it mercilessly. .
I can also be treated as a demon at any time, when I make mistakes or don't understand the other person well enough; I may also become a demon. When I am attacked and feel powerless, I will also force the other party's needs in an instant. understand, regardless of whether the other party has this ability.
We tend to focus on the outside, busy calling each other a demon, and turning a blind eye to the demon under our own mask. We are often too busy to feel how powerful we are, but we cannot accept the demon child within us. When we start to look at ourselves, how painfully we discover that we are so ugly and hungry, but often this is when we really start to be nurtured.
Just like the male protagonist, he also tried to grow up, but the way he grew up was only superficial growth, just like he was an outcast, he couldn't accept all the pain he encountered as an outcast, so he tried to find a mask Wearing, this mask is called finding a father and becoming a child with a father again. This kind of growth is a false growth, because life cannot be retrieved and irreparable. Loss is loss, and no one can make up for your 20 years of pain. Once it happens, it cannot be recovered.
But there is also growing up, which is a deep growth, that is, facing your own demon, facing your pain, and facing everything that is unacceptable. We can't dispel the night, we just need to hold my hand in the night. This is why psychological counseling exists, because all demons need proper love.
The sequel in my heart is that this male protagonist found his father, and found that even if he forgives his father, what happened in the past has already happened. He began to go back to find the demon, face the defect and loss again, reconcile with fate, and start Truly a journey of life where people and people understand each other.
This movie might be called "Change Human".
