Liu Zhenwei's "Journey to the West"

"Big Talk Journey to the West" is a funny nonsense love movie produced and produced by Zhou Xingchi in 1994, as a film far beyond the mainstream aesthetics and values at that time, the box office of that year was so dismal, originally this was a movie that Zhou Xingchi was very proud of and loved, but finally let him have a financial crisis, under the criticism of the mainstream, this classic film once became a bad film, did not expect that in the Beijing Film Academy classroom many years later, the teacher will use this work as a classic textbook to explain.

This film tells the story of the Supreme Treasure who travels back five hundred years in order to save Bai Jingjing, and then meets the Purple Xia Fairy, and after a poignant love story between the two, he finally grows into Sun Wukong.

Stephen Chow's films always tell a tragic story in a funny way, and unworldly teenagers who watch this movie may only see the funny bridges in it and be laughed; and secular people who have experienced love and hatred will have a heavy feeling of falling boulders in their hearts after watching the movie.



Today we will talk about the deeper meaning and perception of this play, and how these feelings will help us to look at love and the whole world in the future.

The background of the creation of the story, behind the scenes and the interpretation of Stephen Chow's films

The film "Journey to the West" is based on the four famous works of ancient China, "Journey to the West", but this is not a simple remake, but these characters are more vividly arranged into a philosophical and thinking story, not based on the original Western Heavenly Scriptures to kill demons and exorcism as the main content, more is to describe love and hate.

"Journey to the West" invested a total of 25 million Hong Kong dollars, Stephen Chow is the investor and producer of this film, this film has not had a detailed script at the beginning of filming, but there is a rough idea, the actual shooting of this film only took 100 days, divided into three groups to work together to catch up with the progress, but even the directors and staff of Northwest Studios admire the spirit of Hong Kong filmmakers.

Zhou Xingchi's films have always staged tragic endings in a dramatic way, in the movie "Nine Pin Sesame Officials", Bao Longxing mistakenly hit the emperor in the brothel, was named a high official because of helping the emperor with merit, not only retried the Murder of the Qi family, but also relied on his own wisdom to get justice for the Qi Qin clan, and finally opened a restaurant to start a business, but at the end of the film came the news of the death of the emperor, the emperor died Bao Longxing undoubtedly lost his patron, then the big forces that have been against him are bound to persecute him. It seems that every movie of Stephen Chow ends like this, which is extremely frightening.

The same deeply thought-provoking "Journey to the West" is also a work of great thought-provoking thought, this parallel world set story work, with the moonlight treasure box as the key, opened the door of one world after another, Sun Wukong crossed through these three parallel worlds, experienced a period of love stories, the final Zixia of the film is not another two previous lives of Zixia, but Sun Wukong and the previous two lives made a farewell.

Although this drama does not have an interaction about the love of many men and women, the two do not do romantic things together, and there is no experience of joint creation, it seems that the beginning to the end is only because of a magical purple sword, but this film has achieved the most classic about love, 'There was once a sincere love in front of me I did not cherish, wait until the loss of regret, the most painful thing in the world is this, if the heavens can give me a chance to start again, I would say three words to the girl: I love you, if I have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is ten thousand years', it seems that everywhere reveals that the dead are no longer there, and everywhere it reveals the established destiny, and if you think about it, there is no deep meaning.

When it comes to careers, most people are staging stories that are even more tragic than the Supreme Treasure

A Sun Wukong who ignores the rules and is not regulated, how can such a existence be allowed by the 'rules', his fate is domesticated, the rules and regulations and tang monks go to the western heavens to seek the true scriptures, do not submit to the authority and can not stand the nagging of the master Tang monks, the way to change him is to let him become a man again, back to five hundred years ago to experience love and hate, this moment his fate is doomed.

He had no idea that all the appearances were to make him become Sun Wukong, to tangle with the people who gave him three moles, to take the tight curse that could not be unloaded, to defeat the powerful Bull Demon King, and finally to become the Qi Tian Dasheng and the Tang Monk to learn the scriptures, all of which seemed logical. Maybe the Mountain Thief Supreme Treasure will never be able to experience Sun Wukong's helplessness, just like Sun Wukong can't experience the happiness of the Supreme Treasure.

In real life, which of us is not like Sun Wukong, who was full of enthusiasm and ambition when he was young, did not accept oppression, did not agree with the rules, and at the same time had his own simplicity and happiness.

But when we first step into society, the first time we face life, it seems that just like the supreme treasure was forced to become Sun Wukong helplessly, we were also forced to helplessly become the most disliked appearance, we bowed to life again and again, for their relatives, friends and families, everyone is on the road of life to cut thorns.

The difference is that the Supreme Treasure has a heavenly arrangement, making him a hero in the eyes of the world, while we have become ants busy with life in confusion, so it seems that most people are experiencing more serious tragedies.

Regarding love, how many people have experienced unrepentant love and unforgettable eternity

Zixia when she appeared on the scene was a young girl full of yearning for love, so she was naïve and innocent, and loudly announced to the Supreme Treasure, 'Now I solemnly declare that everything on this mountain is mine, including you', just like those ignorant teenagers who were full of fantasies about love, they were always so righteous, as if the whole world could afford to lose, but in the end they would find that almost nothing in this world belonged to them, and we came to the world in order to create, because young people can use everything as a bet.

Supreme Treasure has always thought that he loves Bai Jingjing, when he got the crystal crystal he thought about day and night, he found that his love was Zixia, when he dug open his heart and saw a tear left by Zixia, he found that fate and himself made a big joke, and the person who turned around and loved finally missed it, and the half day of hard work finally returned to the same place.

Love since ancient times is a fragile and beautiful thing, it can not withstand the test nor the wait, this film actually embodies a Buddhist view of love, everything has a cycle of cause and effect, and love is an eternal topic that has never changed, many people have made an analysis for the star master's film, and even some people have simplified all the connotations, but no matter how to reduce, in the end there is still love.

This movie undoubtedly gives a lot of confused young people some inspiration about love, maybe we have all been crazy about love, like a moth to put out a fire, but if you meet the right person at the wrong time, there is no mature mind, do not know the attitude of cherishing, and even the other half who is not clear about their inner thoughts will let this feeling pass by, and when this person gradually matures, he may find that the love in his heart may be the one who loves himself and is determined to go to the end of the world for love. Maybe we will also be like Sun Wukong kissing his beloved through someone else's body on the castle tower at the end of the film, and fantasize in his heart that he (she) enters the marriage hall with him (her) infinitely.

Regarding growth, how many helplessness and choices, every choice is a new life

The Supreme Treasure painstakingly found Bai Jingjing, but found that he loved Zixia, the choice of love was cruel, and when he wanted to save Zixia, he found that he could only have boundless mana to defeat the Bull Demon King by wearing the Tight Hoop Spell, how should he choose to choose again, choose to bring a tight hoop spell in exchange for the peace of his beloved or choose to give up, still be the Supreme Treasure?

It seems that life is always a difficult thing to have, choose a thing is bound to lose the same, the teenager who stepped into the society chose love, accompanied by the lover, then it may mean giving up more opportunities and development space; choosing the ideal and the far away may need to endure the pain of separation, this is the cruel choice that society brings to the younger generation, but after this choice, we may become a real adult like the supreme treasure, with a new life, But the pain of this transformation may only be known to us.

There is a sentence at the end of this film that I still remember vividly, 'That person looks so strange', 'I also saw, he is like a dog', this sentence is mostly Zhou Xingchi stood in the perspective of men to mock men, but it may also be for his own evaluation, this is a man helpless. Do you like Supreme Treasure or Monkey King?

The Supreme Treasure is uninhibited, unrestrained, and dares to love and hate, and Sun Wukong is a heroic image, he has experienced growth and can have enough strength to protect his beloved, but he has lost the ability and courage to love. Placed in the film is a sad portrayal of a man, but in real life, it is the price of everyone's growth, which guarantees the helplessness and sadness of many adults.

Analyze the enlightenment and thinking brought by this drama to the audience

The biggest benefit of this film is not to be a universal person with a heavy and high problem, but to use a light-hearted and nonsensical way to make people feel sad in laughter.

Laughing and laughing and crying, this is the heartache of adults. Zhou Xingchi just wants to use such a film to enlighten more confused people, let people know that life may be like this, sadness is the norm and joy is only temporary, so we must continue to grow and learn to be happy in suffering.

1. For the business

Many adults most often say a sentence may be 'for life', maybe we choose the job we don't like again and again in order to live, just because we earn more, the longer we enter the society, the more lost, it seems that the people who want to become in the past have gradually drifted away, repeating the work and things they don't like every day, as if work has become a difficult burden.

But who really thinks that after the so-called hobby has really become their profession or work, who can still maintain the initial enthusiasm? In order to resist the whole world for the ideal, we still need to sink our hearts to do a good job, and doing a good job is as difficult as learning from the Western Heavens, and we who seem ordinary are actually our own heroes. So people who are still struggling and suffering should try to find happiness in suffering, think that they are already a great person, maybe then we can complete a great task like Sun Wukong---- life.

2, for love

This seems to be another confusing thing, if the cause is a thing that can be done by will and reason, then the taste of love seems to be difficult to forget for a lifetime, the job can be lost and can be re-employed, the career regression can be reinvigorated, it seems that all the problems in the world can be solved, only the traces of love in our hearts, just like the tears left by Zixia in the heart of the supreme treasure, it is difficult to remove and make people helpless.

Remember there is such a sentence 'meet the noble people first establish a career, meet the good people first to start a family', about love and lovers, if you want to work together for a lifetime, then go to change, to tolerate, do not calculate gains and losses; if you really can not continue to move forward, then do not 'cut continuously, rational and chaotic', decisive end, because the most feared feeling is dragging, in the continuous entanglement not only consumes each other's courage to start again, but also increases the fear of love, the rational cognition of feelings and self-control is what every modern person should learn.

3, for life

Growth seems to be an eternal topic, many young people seem to have a natural fear of growth, do not want to face, do not dare to face, face the problem is more to choose to escape. Many graduates will choose to go to graduate school, but when asked why, most people's answer is that they don't want to work and want to escape for a few more years, for these attitudes we do not deny, but what comes out of them is more of an escape in the face of difficulties.

In fact, more often we just imagine the difficulty is very scary, when we really face him, in fact, it is not so terrible as imagined, so we have less senseless fantasies in life, more practical work, do not think too far, as long as we do the current things, step by step, when we look back, we will find that we have come a long way, the original difficulties may have been overcome.

epilogue

'Life is also happy, death is also bitter', everyone always has a day of great enlightenment, just like a tight curse, not only encircled the dream of the Supreme Treasure in the past, but also encircled his once rebellious personality, growth is a very painful thing, on the road to growth we may not necessarily get anything, but we will lose something, as ordinary people we may not be able to overcome fate after all, but in the unyielding struggle to make dignity affirmed, all human feelings will become immortal.
