"The First Part of Sealing God": Can it be a god?

Let's talk about "The First Part of Fengsheng".

Let's start with Proton Jifa.

Ji Fa was sent to Chaoga to be a proton, and "recognized the thief as his father" without knowing the truth, which at first glance looked very tiger.

In fact, there is a deviation between the "perspective of the person in the juvenile bureau" and the "omniscient perspective of the future".

First, the multi-level composition of "recognizing the thief as the father"

1. The perspective of the people in the juvenile bureau vs the omniscient perspective of the future

The audience is an omniscient God perspective outside the story, and of course knows that his fake father is not a thing.

That's the King of Shang!

The top of the realm of faint kings, tyrants, and kings of the dead kingdom.

Even in the Dimming Monarch Realm, his famous deeds are very explosive existences.

But in the perspective of young Ji Fa, these either have not happened yet or have no trace.

The young Ji Fa came to Chaoge from the distant Xiqi, and saw Yin Shou, who was handsome and brave, and pretended to be dedicated to justice, and felt that he was good anywhere, and the logical and perception lines were normal and smooth.

2. The nature of proton's identity attribute is bleak vs. bright-faced

The movie opens with the death of Su Quanxiao, the son of Su Hu in Jizhou.

his own father, who answered him with a rain of arrows; The hometown is far away, and now it is in the enemy camp and the soldiers are under the city, and it is difficult to advance an inch.

The so-called adoptive father seduced him with the words "You want to be my bravest son" and forced him to die.

He is a complete victim, embarrassed inside and out, in his hometown and in a foreign land, all tragic.

This is the essential truth of proton identity.

The protons in the turmoil are in a difficult situation, embarrassing identities, and their lives are like ants.

But before that, in the eight years of dynasty songs of young Ji Fa, he did not have the opportunity to glimpse the essence of "Proton" identity.

At that time, Yin Shou's wolf ambition had not yet been exposed, and there was no room for trouble;

And with Ji Chang's disposition, he will definitely not make a rash mess.

Therefore, in peacetime, it is not so much that protons are hostages, fish under other people's knives, and half-dead bodies, but rather a "glorious lintel" journey for the children of high-ranking cadres promoted to the Central Group Army.

The calm situation without wind and waves made Ji have the illusion that "this is a good errand".

In the film, Yin Shang sends someone to Xiqi to select protons, and Ji Fa plays tricks on the arrows of his brother Bo Yi Kao to "win this opportunity", and he hopes to come to Chao Ge to make meritorious achievements and become a big hero.

In Ji Fa's eyes, Yin Shou is not the enemy of the executioner who imprisoned him, but the guide and protector of a great future.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless examples of border people yearning for the central culture, such as Tuoba Liwei's son Desert Khan, who admired the Han culture (the focus of this example is not on the nation, but only on the naturalization of distant protons).

3. "The Name of the Merchant Warrior" vs "The Truth of Personal Ambition"

The part that scared me at the beginning of the film was when Yin Shou turned around and said to the "sons": You have just lost a brother, I lost a son, and asked "who killed him", and the army shouted tsunami: anti-thief Su Hu.

Yin Shou is so good at manipulating people's hearts and fabricating charges, and a set of palace power tactics is particularly slippery.

Extreme totalitarian cult brainwashing is terrifying.

The young people who are wrapped up in the name of "Yin Shang Warriors" and think that they are generous and tragic, and righteous, are just human tragedies that are constantly stuffed into the meat grinder by careerists.

It is not so much the big scene at the audio-visual level that shocked me at the beginning, the sky and snow, the majestic cloud city, but the brainwashing tricks and turbulent ripples of the "careerist".

Yin Shou's brainwashing is essentially to deprive people of their subjective judgment and free will as individuals and turn them into tools for their use.

Ji Fa is just a naïve and hot-blooded bright boy, who does not understand that he regards him as an elder like a father and thinks that he is just a knife and a pile of meat.

Second, whether the father and son of the sovereign and the courtier are or not

In "The First Part of Fengshen ", there are many father-killers, father-killers in various meanings and dimensions.

The real murderer of his father, only Yin Shou killed his father through the hands of his brother through the fox demon, and the son of Bei Bohou killed his father.

Prince Yin Jiao "I won't let you go when I die", Ji Fa saw through Yin Shou's true face and sword at each other, including Yuan Wenhuan's father crashing and dying under his sword, it is not considered a father's murder.

The following offenders, sons kill their fathers, and their subjects kill the king, they are called "killings".

And in the set of "kings and subjects, fathers and sons", the most important but often missing counterpart is that the father is not father and son, and the king is not a prince and a subject.

You are not worthy of being a prince or a father, and since you have done all your evil deeds and sins are monstrous, then naturally everyone will be condemned for it.

The ancient tradition of the father-killer story, in the famous tragedy "Oedipus King" by Sophocles in ancient Greece, has already presented the intertwining of "man and fate".

According to ancient legend, when Oedipus killed his biological father Raios, he did not know that he was his father.

The murder of King Oedipus is very different in essence from the crime of Yin Shou's ambition and father's replacement.

If the former is an inquisition about fate in the ancient era, the latter is closer to the true "father-killer" face of the "ambition conspiracy".

From the perspective of the story motif, the story of Yin Shou who killed his father and brother (Yin Shou did not kill his brother with his own hands, but is like killing his brother), the context motif is actually closer to Macbeth who killed Duncan.

(Just talking about the theme of the story and the common context, there is no other referential meaning)

The movie "Fengsheng" is adapted from "Romance of Fengsheng", in the novel, King Shou is the third son of Emperor Yi, and he is made a prince because of "the pillar of the pillar and the incomparable strength".

(The original text of "Romance of the Gods": Because Emperor Yi traveled in the imperial garden, led the people to play and appreciate peonies, because the Feiyun Pavilion collapsed a beam, the Shouwang pillar changed the column, and the strength was incomparable; Because Prime Minister Shang Rong, Shangdaifu Mei Bai, Zhao Qi and others went to the East Palace, Nai established King Jizishou as the crown prince. ）

The canonical texts record different and controversial, so I will not expand it here, but briefly quote the historical record.

"Shiji Yin Benji" said that "Di Yi's eldest son, Weizi Qi, Qi Mother is cheap." The young son Xin, Xin's mother is the queen, and Xin is the heir."

Whether it is a formal history or a novel, his throne is inherited in order, and his persecution of his brother is the later model of "faint kings and not loyal subjects", which is different from the film in which he murdered his father and brother as the second son to seize the throne.

The adaptation in the film deprives Yin Shou of the legitimacy of his succession from the source, makes his ambition more thorough, and also makes his obsession with the issue of father and son more native and family-oriented.

Personally, I think this change is quite suitable, so that the motivation of the character is more causal pre-order closed loop.

The movie also changed the reason for Bo Yikao's death, erasing the element of the fox demon framing in the novel, which was purely Yin Shou's demon.

Yin Shou pretended to dig out his heart with Ji Chang: You have two such good sons, I only have one son, and he still wants to kill me.

Previously, Yin Jiao admired and loved him, protected him wholeheartedly, and never thought of killing him.

But whether Yin Jiao wanted to die for him and "please pass on the throne to me", or Yin Jiao was worried about his safety and fought the sword to find the fox demon, all of them were understood by him as "you are too anxious" and "you really want to kill me".

Yin Shou's appearance of being owed by the world "You don't know how my father treats me" and "How does my son treat me", the deep root may be the subconscious "unworthy of love".

Whether Yin Jiao or Ji Fa, most people in the entire Proton Brigade should have sincerely admired and loved him.

But his kindness to the children is false, he hides thousands of vicious resentments, and he does not dare and cannot accept all naïve, simple and enthusiastic "good" with peace of mind with the truth of "good".

In the relationship with Yin Jiao and Ji Fa, Yin Shou's "father" is not a father;

In the relationship with the fox demon, Yin Shou's bloodline physical attributes are human, but he is also far more "demon" than the fox demon.

This version of Su Daji/Fox Demon has obvious changes, repaying the blessing of medical attributes, and single-mindedly being Yin Shou's personal doctor (feeling that she is more all-encompassing than Jiang Ziya's elixir?). ）

The very right point is Ji Chang's attitude towards the newborn Lei Zhenzi, even if he is a demon, it depends on how he is taught.

Rejection of the "theory of innate guilt".

Looking back at Yin Shou and the fox demon, "demon or not" is not a natural limitation of the species;

The idea of being a demon is hidden in the hearts of people, and people are more demon than demons, and at the same time stigmatize "demons";

You can see that in Yin Shou's heart, there are countless ghosts, demons, and monsters.

In the second half of "The First Part of Fengsheng", Ji Fa and Yin Jiao finally saw through the essence of Yin Shou.

The first two places of Yin Jiao were packed and transported away by Yang Jian and Nezha of the "Kunlun Mountain Express Company";

Ji Fa killed all the way back to Xiqi.

People are looking forward to the follow-up (for example, I really want to watch the battle of King Wu and the battle of Muye, etc.).
