It can be said that in the comment section of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", except for some who simply gave positive reviews, the vast majority were nostalgic!
You can say that this is the effect of emotional marketing, but emotional marketing is also a common method for film promotion.
Although some people say that the story is too monotonous and is suspected of being overly praised, there are also some people who are simply denouncing it for the sake of disparagement!
Of course, in reality, these people have no influence at all.
Popular Film Review Network actually has no influence on the movie itself, because the vast majority of people watch the movie, so who the hell reads the reviews first.
In fact, there are always some people who give high marks to any domestic work, but they give high marks to any Hollywood movie.
The same thing is emotional marketing, but Hollywood movies, which are all kinds of nostalgia, are all kinds of nostalgia. If you put them in China, the emotional marketing will be all kinds of annoying.
Soon, reviews from various film critics and media came out.
"The Chinese comic "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is a movie dedicated to ordinary people!" - Southern Weekend
"In "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage," everyone is Jiang Liu'er!" - Penguin Entertainment!
"With both laughter and tears, and special effects technology, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is back as a Chinese comic!" - Manke Weekly
"You are a courage that is hard to find anywhere in the world - "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage"!" - Film Weekly
...
Not only that, even the official media reported on "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", calling it: a domestically produced animated film with conscience!
Film critics will naturally not miss such a popular film.
Li Chui, Li Yi’s film critic, Du Xianghai.
The title of Du Xianghai's film review is very long: "I can't protect you in this life, but I will give you everything I have in the next life and never leave you!"
"After reading many negative reviews of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", one of them made Lao Du dumbfounded. Some people said that Jiang Liuer's name was a bit embarrassing and a bit low. Seeing this, Lao Du couldn't help but dumbfounded. !
Perhaps in this era, few people will pick up the original work of "Journey to the West" and read it. Here, Lao Du has to popularize it for these people.
In the original work "Journey to the West", Tang Seng's father was killed by the water thief Liu Hong. Because his mother was pregnant, Liu Hong had no choice but to take her away in order to save her child's life. After Tang Seng's mother gave birth to Tang Seng, she was afraid that her child would be harmed by Liu Hong, so she wrote a letter in blood, placed Tang Seng on a wooden board, and flowed away with the water. It just so happened that the elder monk Faming of Jinshan Temple downstream "was meditating when he suddenly heard the cry of a child. He was so moved that he rushed to the riverside to watch." Only then did he discover Tang Monk, who gave the child a nickname. It's called "Jiang Liu'er". It was not until Tang Monk was eighteen years old that he was told to "cut off his hair and practice, take the Dharma name Xuanzang, rub his head and receive precepts, and practice Taoism with a firm heart."
Therefore, the name Jiang Liuer was not chosen randomly! Please understand the situation first before leaving a review!
Let’s get back to the video!
"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" was born out of "Journey to the West", but it is different from the original work. It can be said that the feeling of "The Return of the Great Sage" to me is completely different, different plot, different experience, different Jiang Liu'er is a different Sun Wukong. I felt a little awkward at first. How could our great sage become so decadent? But I couldn't help but cry while watching it.
Let’s take a look at Jiang Liu’er first. If it hadn’t been for the return of the Great Sage, he would have always been that monk in our eyes, a compassionate monk. He was always stared at by monsters, gentle and elegant, but with firm beliefs and seriousness. Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty, maybe he will be the stern master who can recite the tight mantra, or the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. Look at Jiang Liuer here again. This must be the first time for everyone: an innocent, kind and simple child with unique bravery and persistence.
Turning to the Monkey King, the Monkey King, his image in the masterpiece has become a classic. In the past, in my eyes, Monkey King, the Great Sage of Monkey King, was like this - a body like black iron, blazing golden eyes, immortality with seventy-two transformations, a somersault cloud that could travel a hundred and eighty thousand miles, a proper great hero, who would never be able to The one who lost. However, the image here seems to have changed a bit... In the more than four hundred years after the turmoil in the Heavenly Palace, the Great Sage became a legend and could only appear in storytelling.
When the Great Sage in the movie appears, he is no longer the invincible Sun Wukong, but the Great Sage who has been deprived of his magic power. He is decadent and sluggish, stuck in a quagmire of trouble, and is powerless "can't control it, can't control it"... ..The crisp children's words, simple worship, and faith-like belief evoked the buried heroic spirit. Dare to break through the clouds and reach the heaven, dare to call me the Jade Emperor, I rely not only on my ability to reach the sky, but also on my unruly and free heart.
Or because he was ashamed, angry, and in pain, when he sank into the oppressive and dark depths of the ocean floor, it was Jiang Liuer who woke him up like a ray of light.
Our Great Sage here is not a stone monkey with a heart of stone, but a Great Sage of flesh and blood!
He also cries.
Who said Journey to the West is just a fantasy, who said Journey to the West can't be passionate.
He has the nature of a monkey, has human nature, has joy, anger, sorrow and joy, can laugh and curse, can punish evil and promote good. This is a flesh and blood Sun Dasheng.
People who are familiar with "Journey to the West" may not be able to help but wonder why someone as powerful as the Monkey King protects Monk Tang from going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. It is actually very depressing along the way. The so-called changes made by the Monkey King are actually just decisions made for the master's wishes. And the decision I made was to stop myself from acting so unruly!
But we don't know what kind of charm Tang Seng has, which can make the rebellious great sage ride for him. Is it just because of the tight curse?
no! At least I believe in immortality. A tight spell can trap the Great Sage, but it cannot make the Great Sage change!
Now I am more willing to believe that "The Return of the Great Sage" is the reason. The cruel ending is used to make people believe in the past and present lives.
Such as the hairy-headed monkey who gave up his unbridled and free world, such as those five hundred years of wasted time trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain, such as the helpless and painful long journey to the West to learn scriptures, or those who were hurt and misunderstood, the grievance and anger , does it seem less sad?
All the no regrets, all the sacrifices have their way and their way back.
Because everything is what he wants.
Jiang Liu'er said: "As long as the Great Sage is with you, we have nothing to fear!"
But he recovered his magic power, and the Monkey King came back, but he failed to protect the little Jiang Liu'er.
If I can't protect you in this life, I will give you everything I have in the next life and never leave you! This is the great sage's promise to Jiang Liu'er, and it is also the promise of each of us. May everyone be treated gently by this world!
It seemed that Wukong from his previous life was vaguely heard in his ears, saying to Jiang Liu'er: "Don't follow me, little brat!"
That’s why Wukong in Journey to the West said to Tang Monk: “Don’t drive me away, Master!”
