Once there was a sincere love in front of me. I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me another chance, I will say to that girl, I love you. If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is 10 thousand years.

When it comes to movies about Zhou Westward Journey, what most people probably remember most is the Monkey King's confession of "loving you for 10,000 years" in A Chinese Odyssey.

I used to be young, but I didn't feel much about the Monkey King because of my lack of experience and experience. But I grew up slowly, experienced it and began to understand. Especially the Monkey King's last turn, let me understand how difficult it is to let go when I still love someone in my heart.

Probably the reason why I was caught up by Stephen Chow after watching a Chinese Odyssey. I have an indescribable love and inseparable complex for Zhou's Westward Journey movies. From "A Chinese Odyssey" to "The Demon of Journey to the West", from "I love you for ten thousand years" to "Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day", one after another, this scene is always exciting.

2065438+200765438+1On October 28th, that is, the first day of New Year's Day, another movie of Zhou was released in The Journey to the West. This is the Journey to the West, Uber that I want to talk about today.

Maybe many people, like me, are confused about The Journey to the West and don't know what the movie is about. I even doubt that I saw the movie "Fake Week Journey to the West". Although in this film, there are all kinds of special effects, feelings and the shadow of paying tribute to the classics, everything is not bad. However, in Zhou's previous westward journey movies, there was no laughter and laughter of that year. Even if I read it, I can't figure out the context and can't catch up with the plot. To put it bluntly, I can't find that feeling at all.

Some viewers questioned the obvious defects of this film. Even suspect that Stephen Chow and Jiang Lang are at their wits' end. Large-scale film propaganda has been used to fool the audience, and low-quality film and television production has been used to perfunctory the audience. And the attitude is obvious. The Monkey King's line to Tang Priest is the best testimony: I have paid off what I owe you, and you don't have to pay back what you owe me.

I have paid off what I owe you, and you don't have to pay back what you owe me.

Can I understand this sentence of Stephen Chow in this way? Is Stephen Chow telling the audience through movies that I have brought you all the joy that my work can bring you? So, as an actor and a director, I have paid off what I owe the audience. As for what some viewers said, "We owe Master Xing a movie ticket", forget it. Because you don't owe me a movie ticket, even if you do, you don't have to pay it back.

If you have suffered, you know that you will suffer all your life; Always insist, let go of persistence; I've been paying attention, but I'm not paying attention. This sentence should be what Stephen Chow wants to express to the audience.

China people have a strong herd mentality, especially when everyone says that someone or something is good. The popularity and word-of-mouth of Stephen Chow's films are just in the general trend of the psychological evolution of conformity, and they are at a loss and cannot extricate themselves.

I don't know when it started. Everyone praised Stephen Chow's films with one voice, and then I loved Stephen Chow himself. Anyone involved in the theme of Zhou The Journey to the West can find fragments related to Stephen Chow's former lover. From "Journey to the West: Demonization", the Tang Priest told Miss Duan that "ten thousand years is too long, and we are racing against the clock", to "there is no room for the second person in my heart", which Tang Priest told Xiao Shan in "Journey to the West: Demonization".

Interested audiences can always "understand" the voice of Master Xing, make a splash, write articles for Master Xing and send messages to Athena Chu. I am one of these people myself. But sometimes I keep thinking, do we really know Stephen Chow? Do you really know his inner world?

Why do we complain that Stephen Chow's film works can't achieve our expected results, and criticize Stephen Chow himself with the film as a fuse, and do both?

This may be because some viewers really love Stephen Chow, so after watching The Journey to the West, they will feel disgusted and have a feeling of hating iron and not turning it into steel. I believe that Stephen Chow made a lot of money by perfuming the audience with his previous fame and reputation. However, for those who hold this view, have you ever thought that if this is really the Stephen Chow we know, we will still keep this expectation and concern for his next film?

Borrowing a lyric from the song Wukong: Great hoop comes first, I want to say. What's the use of holding iron bars? What's the use of my change?

What's the use of Stephen Chow's fame if he is really no longer the Stephen Chow in our mind? What does he want from word of mouth?

I wrote an article called, Stephen Chow's The Journey to the West, what's good about demonizing? In this article, I have expounded two advantages of Journey to the West: one is that the Tang Priest's love for all beings is promoted from his little love; One is to dare to stick to your ideals and beliefs in the voice of others' doubts.

In my opinion, Journey to the West Uber has two other advantages. Let's talk about the first one: awe.

The story of Journey to the West: Demonization is followed by the story of Journey to the West: Tang Sanzang took the Monkey King, the great sage of Qitian, as an apprentice, and led the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand to go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. On the way to learn the scriptures, the four men seemed to be in harmony, but their hearts were full of ulterior motives and they were wary of each other.

The Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand are even more determined to kill the Tang Priest. It's a pity that the three of them are empty and have no courage. Especially pig eight quit. One of the important reasons why the Monkey King and others dare not touch the Tang Priest is out of "awe". I'm afraid it's the palm of Tang Priest's hand, so it goes without saying. But what do they respect?

Personally, I think it's Tang Priest himself.

The reason for respect is that Tang Priest is a man with firm ideals and beliefs, who can guide his disciples when they are lost and lead them to the light. This is why at the end of the film, the four masters and apprentices of the Tang Dynasty were able to combine into one, put aside their differences and go west to learn from the scriptures together.

I remember a scene in the movie where Pig Bajie mistakenly thought that Tang Priest was dead, so he clapped his hands and shouted that he didn't need to go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. However, at that time, I was thinking, what can they do if they don't go to the Western Heaven to learn from the scriptures?

Let's talk about the second benefit of Journey to the West: Demonizing: facing love and facing your heart frankly.

Like A Chinese Odyssey and The Demon of Journey to the West, there is also a topic of love in The Demon of Journey to the West, the theme of Zhou's Journey to the West. Only this time, both men and women were replaced by Tang Priest and a demon named Xiao Shan.

First of all, we can make it clear that whenever two people really love each other, their three views must be the same. For example, the rebellious spirit of the Monkey King and the fairy, and the exorcism career of Tang Priest and Miss Duan all reflect the similarity of their three views. However, there is no such concept between Xiaoshan and Tang Priest.

Xiao Shan, you can know from her name that she is just a little kind. But what about Tang Priest? Tang Priest's pursuit is great love for all beings in the world. A little kindness and a great love, their starting point and life pursuit are different, so their ending can be imagined. It is doomed that they can't love each other, nor can they achieve the same goal through different routes.

Tang Priest saw Miss Duan's shadow in Xiaoshan and understood his sincerity. He loves Miss Duan, the girl who doesn't even know her name, instead of Xiao Shan, a fairy who can sing and dance well. That's why he said to Xiao Shan: I have no room for a second person in my heart.

The above two points are my biggest feelings after watching Journey to the West.

In fact, when watching movies, we must first know what we are watching movies for. If it's for an actor and a director, I'm sorry, for better or worse, their works and performances are all there. You can accept them or not, and you can hold any opinion you like. People have different opinions as to whether the work itself is good or bad, or what truth is realized in the film.

Personally, I think the definition of a good or bad film often depends on the film itself, and more on our three views and aesthetics.

If we really like a movie, no matter whether it is good or bad, no matter what others say or evaluate, we will still like it.
