Because film critics’ reviews are basically interpreting the entire story.
And this point is very critical. If we simply look at the first "Westward Journey: Moonlight Box", film critics will naturally not be able to interpret anything. "Westward Journey" is a history of a man's growth, and Tang Monk is As parents and elders, Niu Demon King is the setback and obstacle that everyone encounters in their growth process, Bai Jingjing is the first love, Fairy Zixia is the favorite, and Niu Xiangxiang is the reality. Etc., etc.
If it were purely the first "Moonlight Box", then maybe the film reviews and the overall score of the movie would not be so high.
Because in the first part, to put it bluntly, the real theme is not very clear.
And just when Li Yi and Fang Dongbai were discussing whether to change their release strategy.
The film critics who are thieves have added some fuel to the fire.
Wang Jin had actually written the film review a long time ago, but seeing the excitement among fans on the Internet, he made a series of revisions to the film review he had written! After all, that’s what he’s made of, so naturally he has to cater to the public!
"After seeing the feedback from many movie fans on the Internet, I deliberately re-wrote a movie review.
"It can be said that in the two parts of "Westward Journey" combined, the most outstanding parts are reserved in the second part "Cinderella". Why do you say that? Let's listen to Lao Wang in detail!"
"It can be said that of the entire series of "Westward Journey" movies, or rather the two movies, the one that left the deepest impression on Lao Wang, I believe, must be Tang Sanzang.
It subverts our usual impression of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", but in fact, "Journey to the West" is basically just a skin of "Journey to the West", and the story it tells has long been different.
The Tang Sanzang here is not the Tang Sanzang we remember.
Every time he appears, every time he opens his mouth, he always makes people laugh. Some people say that he is the funny person in the whole movie.
Because the way he talks always makes people feel long-winded and unbearable. He may tell you countless truths about a very simple matter, and even those truths will make you feel irritated.
Just like our elders, they always tell us what we should do, what we should do, what we should do, and what we should not do.
These are the elders, parents, teachers in our youth and teenage years...
But in fact, Tang Seng's way of speaking has never changed, but he has a completely different feeling before and after the Supreme Treasure awakens.
Just like us, when we grow up and think back to the words of our elders, we will naturally have different perceptions.
So is the Supreme Treasure a voluntary awakening? No, he didn't want to, but he had to save Zixia and resolve the hatred in the world. He had no choice. Although he became Sun Wukong and a great hero, he was extremely dissatisfied with his living conditions. At the end of the film, Sun Wukong transformed the remaining shadow of the Supreme Treasure in his heart into a sunset warrior. After being completely disappointed with the real world, he could only construct an illusory imagination to fulfill this wish, and expressed it in the mouth of the warrior. Dissatisfied with one's own living conditions, one lives like a dog. Alas, a man's sadness and helplessness.
The same is true for us, maybe we recognize, understand, and understand the "verbose" words of our elders, the advice that we don't like to hear, but we understand, but our regrets are already facts!
The Supreme Treasure has a moonlight treasure box, but we have no regret medicine! "
Let’s talk about love!
Another theme of the movie is eternal love, which is romance, an oath of love, and a life-and-death commitment...
But when it comes to love, these are all trivial and not worth mentioning.
Because love is love, nothing else.
The only thing that can be with love is life, and everything else goes away. Isn't it enough that you love?
Wukong is in love, no matter Jingjing or Zixia, he will love to the end. Zixia fell in love, "Whoever pulls out my purple-green sword will be my rightful husband."
Do you need a reason to love someone? There is no answer to this question! Because there will never be a single answer.
Sun Wukong will love the White Bone Spirit, and Zhu Bajie will fall in love with the Spider Spirit. Zixia loved him deeply because he pulled out a sword. People in the story always have various reasons for finding their lover: the prince needs a glass slipper to find Cinderella, Xue Baochai wants someone with jade to match her... But life is always more realistic, and among all living beings, no one can promise anyone a future, and they deceive themselves and others. That’s all.
Whether there is a reason or no reason, you still have to love. Let me go, the process is the result, no regrets.
Love does not need to be concealed, does not need to be pretentious, does not need to worry about gains and losses, just say like Zixia: "Let's start this relationship right away! Kiss me first."
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
The Supreme Treasure also calls Zixia's name 741 times in his dreams. People who don't know think that Zixia must owe him a lot of money.
Zixia said: "It's like a moth, knowing that it will get hurt but it still throws itself on the fire." "I only understand one thing, how painful it is to love someone!" But she still chose to love, hopeless Obsessed with drugs and desperate for life.
Sansanniang said with tears: "I miss my spring Sansanniang, who is as beautiful as a flower, but ended up with such an ugly man." This is the fate of many beautiful and conceited women: in their hearts, he is a handsome young man who is capable of literature and martial arts. But the person next to the pillow was snoring loudly. Who dares to say that looking at your husband or wife many years later, you won’t feel this way. I don’t know whether you are happy or sad. But she still has to stand up for him and make infinite sacrifices, like Chun Sansanniang laying down the dragon-breaking stone for Zhu Bajie and dying with the Bull Demon King.
Zhizunbao loves Jingjing, Zixia loves Zhizunbao, "He loves you, you love me and I love him", an equation that has no solution through the ages. So Zixia said: "Loving someone turns out to be so painful.
Zhizunbao originally thought that he could spend this life with his first love, but he didn't know that he didn't understand love life when he first fell in love. Zixia, who was pushed away by him back then, has quietly reached the deepest part of his soul, but he didn't know it.
"The man I love is an unparalleled hero. One day he will come to marry me on the colorful clouds. I guessed it right, but I couldn't guess the ending..." No one guessed the ending, and everything went with the wind.
We didn't understand love when we were in love. After understanding love, we lost the time to love each other.
The most desperate thing is not that he doesn't love you or that he leaves you. The most desperate thing is that you have forgotten how to love someone and you have lost the ability to love.
The Supreme Treasure in the film once said twice: "There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it only when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me a chance to come again, I will say three words to you "I love you". If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it will be ten thousand years!"
The first time she said this was to lie to Zixia, but the second time she said it, she was in pain. Perhaps destiny is that one day, I will repeat this sentence for you in the tenderest corner of my soul, for the ten thousand years that we are about to seal it.
There is a character in the movie that seems to appear suddenly, as if there was no sign before, and that is Niu Xiangxiang, the sister of the Bull Demon King!
Some viewers may think that the appearance of this character is very abrupt and nonsensical after watching it, but in Lao Wang's view, the abruptness of this character's appearance is very clever, because Niu Xiangxiang's character actually just confirms what we are now after growing up. The first love and the most unforgettable girl may not be the final destination for every man. On the contrary, a bride like Niu Xiangxiang who has never had any intersection before and suddenly appears is the reality.
How many of us have made it to the end with our first love? How many people have gone to the end with the girl who was in the most spectacular relationship ever?
Very few, very few, more often than not, after missing the first love, missing the Bai Yueguang girl in my heart, I went on a blind date and found a family with someone I might have known for only a few days, and it was she who was ours ultimate belonging.
At the end, do you see it? These things that Lao Wang interpreted are all the contents of the second "Cinderella". Therefore, Lao Wang also feels that Director Gou really made a mistake this time, and releasing the two movies separately will definitely not give the audience the best viewing experience! "
