This story is in the form of inheritance and transformation. At the beginning, the face-changing king, reminded by the living Guanyin, thinks that he needs to find an inheritor when he is old. grandson. At the human trafficker's market, he met this dog. After bringing it home, the dog was very diligent and filial. He also took all the care of the child. After spending some time together, he found out that the dog was a girl. Under the sadness, he wanted to drive the dog away, and the dog chased after him. In the end, he couldn't bear to stay beside him, but he was not allowed to call the dog grandpa, but the boss. Although the face-changing king did not teach her face-changing stunts, he taught her some acrobatics, so the two walked together. Once, the dog baby peeked at Facebook and accidentally set it on fire, burning the boat where they lived. Gouwa was afraid to run away, but met the previous human trafficker, rescued the little boy Tianci who was tricked by the trafficker, and sent it to the boat of the grandfather who longed for a grandson. Grandpa was overjoyed, but he didn't expect bad luck to follow. Tianci is a child of a big family. His grandfather was taken away in the name of child abduction, and he was beaten and executed. In order to rescue grandpa, Gouwa asked Huo Guanyin to help, and moved the teacher with her life and sincerity to overturn the case for grandpa. After his grandfather was released from prison, he realized the true feelings of the world, and decided to abandon the concept of passing on men and not women, and taught the dog the stunt of changing faces.
The story is completed in one go, deeply embodying the traditional culture and customs, and showing the true feelings of the world.
One of the themes of this film is the true love in the world, the true love between the grandfather and the dog, and the moral love of Boss Liang; the second theme is the folk heritage culture of changing faces; the third theme is the idea of men being superior to women; the fourth theme is feudalism superstitious.
The three most prominent characters in this film are the face-changing king, the dog baby, and the boss Liang. There are no masked villains, no wicked people, and no conspiracies in this film. If there is, it is the officers and soldiers who wanted to bully Grandpa, and the officials who finally put the charge of child trafficking on the face-changing king, but they didn't make it hard for the face-changing king. Those people are the products of society. We can see that there are always such people in society who use their power to oppress the people.
The screenwriter knows Sichuan very well, and the regional customs can be reflected everywhere in the dialogue. I also understand the talk of the folk rivers and lakes. Several people who are performing arts in the arena also speak the jargon of the rivers and lakes.
This story didn't move me deeply, I could feel the true feelings, but some things have faded away in today's society, and our personal experience is not profound. When grandpa wanted a grandson but unexpectedly brought back a girl doll, we may have expected the story behind. From this film, the most impressive thing is probably the record of the local customs and customs, the face-changing stunts, the dragon lantern dance during the Chinese New Year, and Boss Liang pretending to be a woman to survive Guanyin, we can only feel the customs of that era from the screen. Favor. Be it the face-changing king, or Boss Liang, who is a well-known actor, they are all people who walk the world and follow a set of rules in the world.
The story ends, and our emotions also end with the curtain call. This is a complete story. We would rather believe that they lived happily for a long time until the dog baby also found another happiness.
