- "On the order of my wife, come and watch." ”

- The Song of the Dragon by the Ancient Northern Peoples
This is a film made by a "fighting nation", and presumably the story also takes place in the farthest and coldest north of the earth. It must have been very, very old, and there have been legends about dragons in the snow and ice. Legend has it that in order to seek peace, people would sacrifice young and beautiful girls on special days, and when the dragon's song sounded, the evil dragon would ride the wind and kidnap the girl wearing a white mortuary in a boat in the middle of the lake, and run away in the screaming wind.
Finally, one day, a young warrior makes all this a sad and bizarre legend, he killed the dragon and was revered as the "dragon slayer". So today, people can sing the dragon song with peace of mind, which is a special wedding, where the descendants of the dragon slayer warriors marry the daughter of the count. In order to sing the glory, the people followed the ancient ritual of blessing the new couple made in heaven and earth.
Red fruit, black earth, white snow, old woman's hand. The song of the dragon resounded on the shore of the lake, and the beautiful bride pretended to sleep in a light boat, and was led to the other shore by the descendants of the hero.
The above is the opening of the movie "He is a Dragon". The sacrifice became a wedding, the funeral dress became a wedding dress, I believe many people can see the metaphor, just like the truth of the "marriage is the graveyard of love", sad and helpless. From ancient times to the present, how many lovers moths put out fires, and people with broken intestines are at the end of the world, sighing elegy of love.
What is digging a grave for love? The film gives advice through the heart of the heroine's emotional line. Thinking about it carefully, it is really a love motto.
The heroic children and grandchildren, everyone's bridesmaids, the golden boy and the jade girl in the eyes of everyone, is a marriage that hangs in the imagination. When she was about to get married, she asked her father what kind of person he was, and he was a person she didn't know. The father replied that he was the descendant of the dragon slayer, sincere and brave, matching her noble and beautiful. So she was a little happy, ignoring the folded dragon in her hand—it was the sustenance of her dreams from childhood to adulthood: to get rid of the shackles of reality like a dragon and soar freely at will.
However, the paper dragon never flew high in her hands, and the more she grew, the closer she was to reality, the farther away she was from her dreams, until she stopped dreaming. She gradually got used to, agreed, and even allowed herself to believe in someone she didn't know, hoping for a marriage that sounded appropriate, "he should love me bravely," she thought, looking at the snow and smiling as she lay in the middle of the silent lake.
Later plots tell us that he was not a man worthy of trust. The hero's descendants are not necessarily heroes, he is strong in the middle, and he does not have the courage of his grandfather, he does not dare to slay the dragon for his lover, and may not even really love her, what he wants most is title and power. As he tugged at the rope as the marriage that could bring him everything approached, people were singing ballads that didn't belong to him.
She was all white, as if she were wearing a white mortuary. She was doomed to die, and the wedding bells echoed.
Take her away, take her away, fly, come down. Always for you, young girl.
Like this ominous lyric, their marriage, if completed, is destined to be a graveyard of love. Just as the beautiful tree was about to be destroyed, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the dragon descended from the sky. The legendary dragon appeared in the world, straight to the bride in the center of the lake, and when the people on the shore returned from their shock and panic, the girl had been fiercely caught and flew away with the dragon, leaving only a cold dead silence.
Of course, it is safe to say that this is not a horror story, the dragon will not kill the girl like his ancestors, this is the first time he has flown away from the warm summer of the Dragon Island, as an orphan of the Dragon Clan, he has a human-like gentle heart.
What can be expected is not only the appearance of the male protagonist out of the sky, which is completely different from the previous marriage, this time, the male protagonist and the girl have plenty of time and space to know each other in this abandoned world. Even the name she gave him was "Arman," which she said meant dream.
The door-to-door pair failed, so what about love at first sight? The handsome man and the beautiful woman are connected by four eyes, and the electric flint is enough to stir up the variables of fate in life, but the direction of a relationship depends on the exchange secret after this.
He is a dragon, and although he has been imprisoning his own body after transforming into a dragon with a hard stone wall, he cannot curb the killing nature inherited from his ancestors. Facing this beautiful girl, one second he admired her beauty like a fish and a bird, and the next second he was afraid that he would burn her with dragon inflammation.
The Dragon Clan has always had only male offspring, and the mothers are the daughters of human beings, and the women who have been sacrificed in the past were melted to ashes by his ancestors themselves, and he was born in that ashes.
In the first round, it is not difficult for the girl to fall in love with the handsome Arman at first sight, but it takes great motivation and courage to accept the dragon's "difference"; in the second round, the girl sees his sincerity and dedication, and after some hesitation, she forgives him for being injured to save herself who fell off the cliff.
In fact, in the process of getting to know a person, starting a relationship, and getting close to each other, everyone has their own whimsy and caution, the ideal fullness and realistic bone sense always come unexpectedly, to break through the incompatibility between people, what is often needed is the understanding after frankness, and the recognition after paying. Otherwise, even the best first impressions won't last until the next round.
The plot then enters the extremely romantic and sweet Mary Sue rhythm, beautiful like skull island in "King Kong", like "Beauty and the Beast" in the castle, the difference is that the male protagonist is handsome like the vampire in "Twilight".
The length of the sun and shadow is accompanied by day and night. The girl tells Arman that when a person receives a flower, he feels loved, which shows that something very important has happened between people.
Arman told the girl that you couldn't see the direction of the wind, you needed to close your eyes and look into the distance, so far away, so far away that you couldn't open your eyes to see.
Yes, it's like love, you can never rely on your eyes to judge whether you love each other, to feel the touch of your fingertips, to listen to its whispers, to experience it with your whole heart, and something in your body that has never been felt before will spread.
The things of the world are difficult to do as they are, and the people of the world, you are enough. The pale blue waters, between the golden sand, washed out two pairs of mischievous feet; the red kites flew into the distance in the direction of the wind in the beautiful sunset. He told her the story of the dragon, and she smiled and replied that it turned out that this was our first flight.
It's love. In the company of the girl, he learned to use the pottery flute she gave to curb the appearance of the dragon, and in order to help him become an ordinary person, she let go of the unfinished wedding from her heart.
However, not all love can be cultivated to the right end, even if it comes from the heart, sometimes it cannot escape fate and end up without disease. For the future, he is full of concerns, his inadvertent loss of control will easily end her life, he does not dare to face another self, and he does not believe that she can do it. And the girl had also hidden her own careful thoughts, she had quietly prepared to leave, although she did not really leave, but there was no way to forget the past, she just stopped where she was, for him not to think about the future.
Sometimes, in the face of love and marriage, even if you have overcome the loss and fear of being hurt, and come to a higher situation, what is more frightening is to lose your former self.
After leaving Dragon Island, the girl had been thinking about this question, returning to the palace-like residence, but she could not find the tranquility of the past; the crowd was still noisy, and she was a cold island; the strange fiancé was now invisible to her eyes. The kind father told her to listen to her heart, and the phrase "the dragon came first" was the only answer in her heart. When the paper dragon toy that could not fly in her hands was gently thrown by her, watching it fly in the wind, she finally figured out that if she wanted to grow old with a person, she needed to cut off all kinds of robes in the past.
Coincidentally, this determination kicks back the film's opening design— marriage and sacrifice. If you don't let your past self "die", if you don't hold the mood of dying in a mortuary, you can't touch his hot heart, but you will burn yourself. If you can't hug each other, it's better to "die" to each other, and only by giving your body and mind completely can you make the two hearts that have suffered from gain and loss truly believe and accept each other.
At the last moment, he was determined to die. Jumping off the cliff, he played her pottery flute in the fall, and the small figure on the screen was superimposed into a white boat in the black lake. It was the other side of the sky, and at the wedding she lay quietly in the middle of the lake, slowly drifting to the other side under the gaze of the crowd on the shore.
Red fruit, black earth, white snow, old woman's hand. Everything is as it was.
The only difference is the silence of the crowd.
The only one who sang the song of the dragon was the beautiful bride.
The movie has a happy ending, she and him go away and fly high, and there is a baby little dragon girl. Seeing the end, the bullet screen full of screens was cried and moved, and they all sent messages about their love that they were having or had not yet arrived.
An exquisite and beautiful fairy tale, but condensed the thinking and wisdom exchanged for thousands of years of tragicomedy of many idiot men and women. Some people may not be able to stay, some love is not necessarily difficult to last; marriage is a sacrifice of the self, but it is not a graveyard of love; if he is a dragon and love is the wind, please take his hand and ride the wind.
I want to spread my wings to guard you, I want the storm to gently shake your cradle
I want the stars to illuminate your path, I want to see your dreams all the time
Shake, shake, shake, the wind blows softly
I will be waiting for you here until the dawn illuminates the morning
......
- "He's the Dragon" ending song
Every inch feels life, and all the anger is beautiful
