Journey to the West is one of the four famous novels, not only literary, but also spiritual masterpieces.
The original Journey to the West is the author's reflection on the social system, class, and human nature. In this film, the director does not understand the spirit of Journey to the West.
The original Journey to the West has the social system of the gods and Buddhas, but the social system of the gods and Buddhas is not perfect, so there will be the gorgeousness of the heaven and the jade emperor and the Erlang god who is at odds with his uncle, the feast of the queen mother and the immortals who have made mistakes. There are dragon kings who have lost their treasures by chance, and dragon kings who persuade Wukong to return from his lost way. There are gods and gods who defend the social system, and there are demons and ghosts who destroy the social order.
Immortals are tall, but not perfect. The order of heaven is very strict but full of mistakes. This is the real mythical world. It is the real society that the original will tell you. Instead of the tall and perfect heaven and the Jade Emperor shaped by this movie.
Let's talk about the monkey, the reason why the birth of the Monkey King is beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements is that the original author deliberately wanted to isolate the protagonist from the existing social order. The author wants to create an image to rein in the social system that is becoming increasingly outdated and pedantic. Even if this product outside the Three Realms has caused a great impact, it will be successful, but it is covered by the author's slap in the face. This is the idea of expressing a breakthrough in the original work, but it has to surrender to the self-deprecation of reality. It is a very high plot method to express a very deep meaning, but you do not understand it.
The Monkey King was born in stone and grew up in Huaguo Mountain. It is a natural sprouting of human nature. It is the reflection of the author's pursuit of freedom, and it is also the author's self-deprecation of surrendering to the existing society. Definitely not a manipulative thing with no IQ in a movie.
Full of ideal intellectuals, libertarians with rebellious spirit, realists who live with the situation, and workers at the bottom of the society who work hard without complaining. These are the 4 most concentrated types of people in the big society. These 4 kinds of people have become a group of four masters and apprentices, and these 4 kinds of people have found the common goal of "truth". This is the society and the world that Journey to the West wants to express, screenwriter, do you understand?
