This sentence, everyone can use to ask themselves.
To find and retrieve the original true self is the motif of all works of art, the code rooted in the subconscious of human beings, and the ideal that every dedicated creator strives to pursue but never reaches the end.
Is the monkey without the golden hoop still a great saint?
The little monk Jiangliu just lifted the seal on Sun Wukong's body. The real seal is locked in the depths of the soul. It is a combination of fear and weakness. In the end, it can only be unlocked by himself and by the courage that erupts in desperation. And the outbreak requires a reason, and this reason adds humanity to a hero of gods and demons: to protect the people you love.
When the seal is released, the golden hoop is in hand, the great sage returns, and the self returns.
Therefore, at the end of the film, when Chen Jieyi's singing sounded, some people would cry. Because in real life, we don't have golden hoops, we're all monkeys.
A good movie comes first. The plot and actions of "The Return of the Great Sage" can see the shadow of many classic bridges, but they are integrated into the story of Monkey King, but they are natural. The smoothness of the story and the meticulous production, although not up to the level of "Kung Fu Panda", are indeed close.
The setting of the great sage coincides with Campbell's hero prototype. Even if it was startling when he first appeared, how did the monkey have a horse's face, as the plot progressed, I was relieved, the hero did not see his body or his appearance. Bajie's vest is very stylish, and the images of the little monsters are not flattering, but they are so stupid and cute that they are the most comical characters in the film.
It cannot be said that "The Return of the Great Sage" is a masterpiece, it is not perfect. Carefully pick, there are many flaws, and many places are only a breath away. Just like the great sage who has just been freed, a hero is a hero, and his martial arts have not yet been restored, but he is full of arrogance.
On the day of the movie, only two of the seven halls of the Wanda Cinema were lined up, and the screen was full of Xiao Times and Gardenias.
It's no surprise that this is indeed a small age.
When I read the copy of the poster issued by the Great Sage, the first thing that came to my mind was Holderlin's poem "Bread and Wine". It was written for a real hero, and it seemed to be talking about the fate of this movie——
Ah, friend! We are too late.
It is true that the life of the gods lives on.
But they are in heaven; in another world
there busy for eternity, so absorbed that
they seem indifferent to our existence.
How can a dangerous boat carry the gods, and
people can only receive divine abundance occasionally.
Life is the dream of the gods, and only madness can
help, like sleep,
filling the night and thirst.
Until the heroes grow up in the iron cradle, the
brave hearts will
visit the almighty gods as before.
Before this, I often felt that
it was better to sleep peacefully than to be alone.
Why did you wait so much, speechless and at a loss.
In this barren age, what does a poet do?
However, you say that the poet is a priest of Bacchus, and
in the holy night, he travels all over the land.
In this small age, being a hero and a poet is painful. But after all, some people chose to travel long distances and roam the night.
In the dark and chaotic world, I hope that one day there will be a voice saying: There must be light.
