"The Moonlight Treasure Box of the Journey to the West": There are no ifs and regrets in the world
Huang Zihong
In 1994, the movie "Moonlight Treasure Box of Journey to the West" initially suffered box office Waterloo, and a few years later, with piracy and the Internet, it began to become popular and was regarded as a classic.
Watching this film again, the reality in front of us is that among the main actors in the film, Lan Jieying and Wu Mengda have successively made ancient works, and once again relived the sound and smile of their classic roles in the film, which makes people feel very emotional and sighing.
In the film, the plot adaptation against the sky, the nonsense lines of postmodernism, many funny passages with edge balls, and the actors' free or somewhat awkward performances all contribute to the success of the entire film.
"The Moonlight Treasure Box of Journey to the West" as a whole is a story of self-realization and self-redemption. Before I was fully enlightened and took the initiative to redeem myself, I felt that everything was difficult, or that everything had nothing to do with me; it was not until I had opened my mind and realized my self-redemption that I would find that what had once seemed out of reach was now such a piece of cake and a piece of cake.
Near the end of the film, when the Supreme Treasure returned to the Pansi Cave, he saw the white crystal crystal that had fallen to the ground and a sword stained with blood next to it, and he was puzzled, anxious and afraid. When he thought of the Moonlight Treasure Box that he had just arrived, he decided to try its power, but because of his slow action, he turned back the clock three times, but Bai Jingjing and Thirty Niang were once again in danger of life.
Therefore, he decided to go back in time again, not wanting to travel back in time because of his excessive power, and traveled back to five hundred years ago...
Although, although there are many laughs in this segment, after laughing, the enlightenment and reflection left for people are exactly like this, which is painful and thought-provoking: there is no room and possibility for if and regret in the world.
The reason why "The Moonlight Treasure Box of journey to the West" can become a classic and even a benchmark in the postmodernist genre of Chinese films is actually precisely because of the complex and embarrassing mentality of many contemporary people, which is perfectly hidden and transplanted into this movie. Among them, the setting of the moonlight treasure box that can turn back time and be magical in the film is precisely for the world's habit of "what if" and the carelessness of "regret" in today's society...
In real life, when we are teenagers, like the supreme treasure, we have not yet realized thoroughly and actively redeemed ourselves; it is not until after we have struggled in real life that we find that we really need to carry out a thorough self-thinking enlightenment and self-redemption consciously and autonomously.
The reward of our growing up is to learn and sincerely understand and admit that there are no ifs and regrets in the world.
