of a good movie For me, the standard of a good movie is whether the night after watching it is still emotional.
There is no doubt that "The Return of the Great Sage" did it.
When I was lying on the bed, I was still thinking about the scene in the movie, and Xiao Jiangliu 's childish voice echoed in my ears: "Great Sage, Great Sage!
" Master lives in Chang'an City. Monkey King is a hero in his heart, and he is always talked about: "Sun Wukong ~ will not die!
" Ground gestures: "Sun Wukong, the great sage of Qitian, has a body like black iron, fiery eyes, immortality and seventy-two transformations, and a fight is a thousand miles..."
When meeting a mountain demon, use Sun Wukong's puppet to comfort him Silly girl younger than herself: "With the Great Sage, we don't have to be afraid."
He is very persistent and very lucky.
Persistence is to believe that the hero in his heart will never change, and he will follow him to fight monsters. Luckily his hero really hasn't changed, and after a tough time, his hero is back.
The current great sage
, Sun Wukong, has been suppressed for more than 400 years at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and he has changed from a hero to a legend. Whether it is the mountain god or the pig, even the mountain demon has forgotten his former illustrious name, and he has to be beaten up to give up.
But Sun Wukong is no longer the great sage who made a lot of trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Even if he has all the mana, he can't use it. The Buddha's spell is like a heavy shackle, shattering all his pride, and he can only groan in pain in the cool stream water. : "I can't control it..."
When he broke free from the shackles and put on a shirt, he was as majestic as four hundred years ago. Because he had someone he wanted to protect, he agreed to go together.
Ordinary us
who never clamored to listen to the story of Monkey King when we were children, never imagined that we have a wishful golden hoop, a good skill, and can turn a hundred and eight thousand miles in one somersault?
In a sense, we are all small rivers, but we are not as lucky as him, and even less persistent than him.
Who hasn't dreamed of lofty ideals, outlined a beautiful life, and then been beaten down again and again by reality, and their ambitions fell silent?
In a sense, we are all Monkey Kings, who were trapped under the Wuzhi Mountain, but have not yet escaped.
About the movie
"The Return of the Great Sage" gave us a big surprise. The laughs are cute and the tears are full of tears. The first half is especially amazing, the details are very moving, and many Chinese elements are incorporated.
However, the shortcomings are also obvious. The ending is too hasty, the explanations in individual places are not clear, and a series of problems caused by insufficient funds...
Many film reviews have detailed analysis, so I won't say much.
The important thing is the few tears, that is, the place that moved me, mainly because of Xiao Jiangliu's sincerity and Sun Wukong's struggle, just like us who were sincere once and who are still struggling now.
As sung in the ending song:
If you meet the old me, please bring him back.
I think the entire crew also held the same sincerity and experienced the same struggles, only with a desperate heart, it took eight years, plus crowdfunding, to barely complete such a film.
The Great Sage has returned, and the hope of Guoman seems to have returned. When will the heroic dream of each of us return?
