It's hard to say that this is not a step backwards. Once a Journey to the West, no matter whether you are an old or a child, you can watch it in front of TV with relish. When it comes to Sun Wukong, everyone in China knows it. Although it is said that everyone has a Hamlet in their hearts, I think in the hearts of every Chinese, the image of Sun Dasheng should be the same. He is a courageous, loyal, A bit stubborn and full of wisdom, making troubles in the heavenly palace, three dozen white bone spirits, and one somersault for a thousand miles, we all remember these by heart. From childhood to adulthood, Sun Wukong has always existed like a legend.
In this movie, Sun Dasheng is no longer Wukong, who can't overcome any difficulties, no longer slaying demons and demons, no longer ancient forest spirits, but full of self-doubt, which cannot be said to be more anthropomorphic, because All its troubles should not exist in such a character setting. He is not an ordinary person, he is Sun Wukong, he can make a big noise in the sky, he can steal the peaches of the Queen Mother, and he is in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun The Monkey King who stayed here for 7749 days!
If the director wants to make a film with some inspirational themes, please don't use such a special spiritual character in the hearts of all Chinese as the protagonist, if even Sun Wukong becomes an ordinary person, then our Chinese nation's The splendid culture may also become ordinary.
I don't know who Sun Wukong belongs to. Maybe it's just the director's own feelings? Without any infection, it does not belong to any era, because the Monkey King in our hearts is a great sage who can slay demons and eliminate demons, and is a great sage with great wisdom and great feelings.
I hope this film will not be released in foreign countries, because I don't want the Monkey King in the eyes of foreign countries to become like this. Our Monkey King will never admit defeat and will never be ordinary!
