This is a typical Japanese-style film, a bold interpretation that combines Buddhism and love.
In fact, don't fail to admit that many enlightened monks have not converted to Buddhism since childhood, and they are not able to achieve six pure roots at the beginning, and many people have loved and hated in the first half of their lives. Perhaps among these people, some people have a more "wonderful" life than ordinary people, and some people have sunk more thoroughly in the love of men and women.
When most people distinguish between the two very clearly, when many people feel that not separating is blasphemy against Buddha, Japanese people often like to challenge the norm and "mix" love and Buddhism together, so many large-scale movies actually use Buddhist disciples as the male protagonist, that strong sense of visual contrast, but also make the movie more controversial and interesting.
Today I will talk about a very classic Japanese restricted movie "The Passion of Renguang", and the male protagonist is a monk in a temple.
Tang Monk had to go to Xitian to obtain the True Scripture and go through ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, but every test, he passed. This ordinary Japanese Buddhist disciple in this film, Renguang, also encountered a test, but his test was not given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he had no half-dime relationship with Rulai Buddha, but a competition between him and his inner desires and people's primitive instincts. Unfortunately, in the end, he not only failed the test, but also completely blackened.
Renguang is a monk in the temple, he is conscientious and very diligent, not only daily practice is hard, but also the field work is not left behind, he is an impeccable model monk in the eyes of everyone. But in fact, only he knows that the reason why he works so hard is because he wants to divert his attention and not be affected by those things between men and women.
First of all, in addition to being a monk, he is also a man in his youth, and I don't know why, he is born very feminine, whether it is following the brothers and sisters down the mountain or those believers up the mountain to worship, when they see him, many women have their eyes lit up, not only look at him twice, but also boldly tease him, which makes him very distressed.
In the end, the abbot did not let him go down the mountain, and he stayed in the monastery to clean in order to leave those desires behind. But in the process of cleaning himself, he suddenly heard someone calling to him, and it was a female voice.
Following the prestige, he saw a beautiful woman, the heroine ran to the depths of the woods, and Renguang, who lacked concentration, actually followed...
Although Renguang followed, this time, he had not done anything particularly excessive, his heart was very struggling, he was devoted to Buddha, but the desire in his heart tormented him like a devil all the time, and he almost collapsed. So he thought of a way, that is, to go to the clouds, to let go of his desires.
But is the truth really so simple, can you put it down? On the way to the clouds, he passed by those beautiful women, and after walking for a while, he would look back at the backs of those people, you say, isn't this self-deception?
From his kind of uncontrollable behavior, it can actually be seen that his heart is not calm. The more the desire is suppressed, the more it rebounds.
So, there is a later story. When he wandered to a village, he met a woman who was crying while holding the body of her husband, who had become a dry corpse. The woman told him that there was a "mountain girl" in the mountain, this monster had a strong charm, and there were already many men in the village who had been sucked out of their yang energy because they could not stand the charm of the mountain woman and became human beings.
The villagers thought that Renguang was an enlightened monk and hoped that he could go to help collect the mountain girl, but Renguang was just an ordinary monk, he could not help the villagers, but he could help the woman's husband to overdo, so he followed the woman to his home.
This time, there was a problem with "overdue", and if he didn't do the right thing, his characteristic that the woman liked caused trouble. Before the scriptures could be read much, the woman had already begun to throw her arms around him, frightening Renguang and fleeing directly, and by mistake, he actually ran to the mountain, that is, the territory of the mountain woman.
What kind of cause, what kind of fruit to plant, he naturally met a mountain girl with strong charming, mountain woman no matter what kind of person you are, whether it is a monk or an ordinary person, it is a force to come up and do everything you can.
In fact, the encounter between the two is very interesting, one is a monk who is born with the ability to charm women, the other is a banshee who can seduce men, both of them have a fatal attraction to the opposite sex, such two meet, strong dialogue, narrow road encounter, of course, the brave wins, what people did not expect is that the mountain girl actually can't defeat Renguang, did not fawn over Renguang, but she couldn't help but love Renguang, and finally even did not hesitate to learn Chu Overlord.
At that time, Renguang finally failed to hold the last line of defense in his heart, and he sank and blackened. Like a vampire who had tasted blood, all his persistence and suppression collapsed in that instant.
After all, the rules and precepts still cannot compete with people's inner desires and human instincts. Therefore, the Japanese later had a legend that the completely blackened Renguang abducted the women of the entire village, and after that, he continued to do so, becoming an evil legend.
In fact, the title of the movie is a little incorrect, called "Renguang Crucifixion", in fact, it should be changed, isn't it more appropriate to call Renguang's sinking memory?
When Renguang faced beauty, he was afraid at first, and it was precisely because of this fear that he deliberately avoided it, which made this "demon" more and more terrifying, and it wanted to erode him even more. If he is not afraid, I believe that he can also be like some friends here, the opposite sex is touching, haha...
How can there be so many headaches (yearning) questions, how can there be so many erotic encounters? You say yes [cover your face]?
This is the same as the famous Murphy's Law, the more you fear, the more it exists!
The director of this film is very interesting, in the process of the film, often add some animation plot assistance, it is said that because of limited funds, those animations are made by the director himself, I have to say that this is a good director who both shoots a "wonderful picture" small-budget film and pursues it.
