"Blood Guanyin" is a 2017 film directed by Director Yang Yazhe. Depicted in the Tang Mansion composed of women, there are 3 women of different generations but equally understanding people's hearts, presided over the overall situation by Lady Tang (Hui Yinghong), shuttling between the powerful, relying on superb wrists and soft figures, surviving in complex political and business relations; the eldest daughter Tang Ning (Wu Kexi), who has a hedgehog-like personality, tries to cooperate in order to seek her mother's affirmation; the well-behaved little daughter Tang Zhen (Wen Qi) mostly observes quietly, but the mother's fate is obedient. Until one day, the Tang family's close friends were tragically destroyed, the three people were involved in each other, Mrs. Tang, who has always taken the overall situation as the most important, in order to protect everything, worked hard, but let the three people go to different fates. In a materialistic, vocal society, man is a slave driven by desire.
The movie "Blood Guanyin" tells the story of the tragic fate of the three generations of the Tang family under the twisted relationship, and the director shows a true expression of power and desire through the setting of suspense and the shaping of the devious temperament.
Tang Ning is like a prisoner trapped in a cage and losing her freedom, she can't give her own daughter Tang Zhen normal maternal love, and chooses to numb herself with alcohol and drugs, escaping from reality. The tragedy of Tang Ning's life was directed by Mrs. Tang. Lady Tang was obsessed with power and money, and in order to obtain wealth, she did everything she could to kill all sides, and after the incident, she knelt in front of the bodhisattva and used the chanting method to alleviate the guilt in her heart. Instruct his daughter to sell her body to seduce and use the magnates. For the sake of the Tang family's face, he deprived her daughter of her right to be a mother and let her and Tang Zhen be called sisters. In order to protect herself, I did not even remind my daughter that there was a bomb on the ship. After losing her daughter Tang Ning, she woke up, but her granddaughter, who had been cultivated by her, did not let her go.
The granddaughter Tang Zhen obtained the true inheritance of unscrupulous means to achieve the goal under the teaching of Lady Tang, and finally inherited the family business of the Tang family. The one who laughs at the end is the winner, but what Lady Tang finally gets is the real hatred of her grandson Tang, who really let her die in the hospital bed and wait for death, and cannot die well. For the good of the family, for the good of oneself, is a kind of love. Guanyin Bodhisattva can be understood as love. Blood, can be understood as killing. Killing for love is "Blood Guanyin". Tang and the party are harmonious, and the three generations of the Tang family are metaphors for the first generation of the party, the second generation of the party, and the third generation of the party. "Blood Guanyin" is a film that alludes to politics and is also a film that makes people think about the purpose of education. Parents should ask after reading it, what kind of people are real people? Only by answering this question clearly can we understand what kind of love is right for children.
Foucault's Discipline and Punishment precisely reflects the connotation expression of Tang Ning's body, that is, the expression of power through the discipline of the flesh. Tang Ning was only a "tool man" in Lady Tang's hands to consolidate her and her family's power. Lady Tang manipulates Tang Ning to indulge her sexual desires, completely alienating her relationship with men into a transaction - Tang Ning and the Tang family kill the means of loyalty to Duan Yi's two brothers sex, teasing guests to complete the huge Buddha statue transaction, flirting with Captain Liao, all out of the protection of family interests, in order to achieve the desired interests of Lady Tang, which is actually to obtain the disciplinary expression of power on the body.
Space is a distorted representation of power and fame. The meaning of space in Blood Guanyin implies a dual attribute. First of all, it is a materialistic and self-interested Vanity Fair, a particular space in which the elite hides in the cloak of red tape and civilization, following primitive impulsive instincts and chasing fame and fortune. The space is filled with the filth and cruelty of the upper ruling class's lust for power, creating a crumbling castle in the air wrapped in desire.
Secondly, it is also a relatively closed family field, and the three women in the Tang family essentially follow the flow of individual desires, and they interpret different body forms. Home was originally a symbol of warmth, but in the Tang Mansion it became a hotbed of evil and a cage for restricting freedom. Such a family full of power and money has also created a distortion of the relationship between three generations.
The musical collisions in different regions hint at the loss of characters and political metaphors for Taiwanese identity. During the performance in the garden, there are maids dressed in oriental opera, taiwanese folk minor tunes sung by women on the stage, and a group of violin players under the stage. The collision of three distinct cultural exchanges hints at the ambiguity of Tang Zhen's identity and the loss of himself. At the same time, under the current situation, Taiwan had just returned to China after the rule of the great powers, and was affected by the huge spiritual impact of the cultural legacy under the previous Western rule, the culture brought by the mainland and the own culture of Taiwan itself, and the director implicitly alluded to Taiwan's confusion and anxiety about self-identity in the film.
This movie is the true portrayal of "hell is empty, the devil is in the human world", the acting skills of the actors in the film are fascinating, the whole drama gives me a sense of spooky horror and distortion, the cover is also a true portrayal of this, the three generations of demons, sisters and sisters, mothers and mothers, selfish and indifferent desires, in the human world, in Vanity Fair, in the twisted family struggle, and finally towards the physical or spiritual demise. "The trees are green in the morning, and the wind blows to the ground in the twilight." In the film "Blood Guanyin", through the character of Tang Ning, the despair of perverted society and the individual life under distorted human nature is revealed, which constitutes the expression theme of desperate Taiwan, and at the same time implicitly presents the realistic context of Taiwan's current expression.
