This movie reminds me of Nezha’s classic line - I can’t help but decide my fate. The theme is all about fighting and becoming stronger.
"Strong people will lie to you, and weak people will also lie to you."
"I understand, it was my own fault. How can I count on others. No matter what Whether you are strong or weak, anyone can hurt you. All you can do is to make yourself strong enough. The only root of everything is yourself."
"I will never let go of this obsession in this world. I won’t rely on any sentient beings! If I’m strong enough, I can split the Fahai with one palm, overturn the tower with one palm, and step out of this Shura City in one step!”
Video points! With three parts, this film conforms to the usual formula of movies. The plot has climaxes one after another. There is a small climax in the middle and late stages, when the Bull-headed Horse-face takes people to the little fox's residence. The final climax is the fierce battle with the Bull-headed Horse-face when leaving Shura City.
In the first paragraph, when Xiaoqing first arrives in Rakshasa City, the director arranges for four characters to meet her. The first is a bull-headed horse-faced person, the second is Miss Sun, the third is a ranger, and the fourth is a knight. One is a Sima official.
In the second paragraph, Miss Sun's death, the first disaster comes, Xiaoqing follows Sima Guanren to the supermarket, meets the owner of Qingbaofang, encounters a fire disaster, and encounters a bull demon attacking the city .
In the third paragraph, the little fox got the news and went to fight Fahai in the realm of void. In the end, he defeated Fahai. On the way out, he lost Xiaobai.
The plot is on the one hand, and the special effects are also beautiful. In the realm of the void, the paintings are in the form of ink paintings, which is also very consistent with the meaning of illusion.
Xiao Qing’s psychology changed three times in the play.
At first, due to Xu Xian's cowardice, she said that she would find someone strong enough to protect her.
However, because Sima Guanren abandoned her at a critical moment, she understood that even a powerful person was unreliable, and it was better to be someone who was not so powerful but trustworthy enough.
Later, when she discovered that Xiaobai was not Xiaobai, she began to disbelieve everything. Strong people will lie to you, and weak people will also lie to you. So she didn't believe anyone. To become stronger, she had to rely on herself and get out of Shura City alone.
Of course, this is not the end. Recently, Xiaobai sacrificed himself to send Xiaoqing to leave Shura City. This is the same as Xu Xian's plot against Xiao Bai in the first film. Even if he is weak, he will protect you until the last moment.
Xiaoqing finally understood her sister’s choice. Of course, in the end, she found out that it was her sister. It seemed that the screenwriter wanted to set it up like this, which didn't seem to make sense. It didn't matter whether it was White Snake or not. Of course, the screenwriter probably wanted to make a point. After all, this series was still called White Snake.
In this world view, the existence of Shura City is set. The definition is a person who is unwilling to leave and has a deep obsession.
- Xiaobai. At first, Xiaobai came out to rescue Xiaoqing and Miss Sun. Miss Sun commented on him, "He thinks he is a ranger, but he is not that strong." Later, Sima's evaluation of him was "You are at most a clay Bodhisattva." Xiao Qing said, "If you are kind-hearted and weak, you will harm others and yourself" (Xiao Qing is of course thinking of Xu Xian here).
- What Miss Sun’s obsession is has not been revealed. We only know that she is a modern person who unfortunately slipped while climbing. She was the first person who worked with Xiao Qing to tide over the difficulties and helped Xiao Qing get familiar with Shura City. In the plot, she is more of a tool that promotes the development of the plot and inspires the protagonist to understand the new world.
- "Fan Jin" is considered a complete bad guy. Of course, it may also be to set off the kindness of the ranger Xiaobai in the protagonist group, and by the way to show Shura City and human nature where the jungle is desperate for survival. The screenwriter set up the plot that after he was rescued, he would in turn harm Xiaobai.
- Is Sima Guan a good person? He abandoned Rakshasa and Xiaoqing at the critical moment. He is very powerful. If the Bull Demon didn't have a golden body, he might have died under his sword. His obsession seems to be his wife, so he seems to be half a good person.
- The Bull Demon is the most nonsensical character. Why did Fahai sign a contract with him? Why was it not someone else, just because he was ugly and had a bull's head and a horse's face?
- Little fox. Also appeared in the first part. Of course, it was so long ago that I don’t remember what he said. Judging from the easter egg, he is also a fox with a story. The White Snake universe has expanded again.
This film seems to have no main line and is a bit confusing, but every time there is a catastrophe in Shura City, it advances the plot. The whole film is Xiaoqing's growth history.
From the beginning of incomprehension, through deception and experience, in the end, Xiaoqing understood her sister's choice because of Xiaobai's self-sacrifice.
So, is this a love story about young people and young people, or is it a story about inspiring and struggling characters? I prefer the former.
