A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box evaluation action

The film is Stephen Chow’s venture work of Playmate Films, written and directed by Jeffrey Lau, and undertook the nostalgic cartoons of "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose" (1992) and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" (1993) The line of comedy is transformed, and inspired by "Evil East and West Poison" (1994), the literary classics are interpreted in the form of previous biography. The Journey to the West is written from the past and present life of Monkey King. It is not only the adventure of the bandit Supreme Treasure 500 years later, but also the rebirth of Monkey King who countered the killing 500 years ago. It exposes Wukong’s passionate hatred, and a farewell to the world. It is a sigh of a thousand years. The Moonlight Treasure Box is the first episode, and the four masters and apprentices of Monkey King have not yet appeared. Jeffrey Lau tried his best to turn over and over in villages and Pansi Caves, gagging, making mistakes, and playing hide-and-seek with the audience. It wasn't until Bai Jingjing killed herself, the Moonlight Treasure Box came out, and the spirit of karma cycle through time and space came out. Lam Kit Ying played Spider Fanghua Zhengmao, and Jeffrey Lau played the role of Bodhi, who fought head-on with Stephen Chow. Stephen Chow is between Athena Chu and Karen Mok. He is no different from the rebellious Monkey King. Both are tailor-made.  
Speaking of The Journey to the West, the audience first thought of the rubber belly of Zhu Ba Jie and the extremely unnatural hairy face of Monkey King. Where did they think that it could be like "A Chinese Odyssey", jumping five hundred years ago. Even the white bone spirit can be the amorous Karen Mok, the horrible white bone in the mirror of the demon, and the white Jingjing outside the mirror, and finally commits suicide in love.
Tang Seng is the biggest subversion. Every time he appears, he is a farce. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva can't hate him to choke him to death, but after all, he is still a good man, an annoying old man. When the four masters and apprentices finally embarked on the boundless journey of learning, it made people feel very tragic and strong.
Can't think of a better person to play Monkey King than Stephen Chow. The six-year-old boy put on makeup for a long time, but the appearance was similar. He is too righteous. Monkey King is both righteous and evil. He always has a back bone. It is a typical example of a wild character being bound by a curse. Just like Stephen Chow, he does all ridiculous and funny activities, but his heart is not serious.
The favorite piece is that Stephen Chow uses the Moonlight Treasure Box to return to the past to find Bai Jingjing. Every time, he shook his head and stomped his feet. He reluctantly started from the beginning, and ran out of Pansidong again. The first half of "The Great Sage Is Marrying" is not as good-looking as "Moonlight Treasure Box", Athena Chu is a bit awkward, not as natural as Karen Mok's white bone spirit.
I began to feel the benefit. After reading Karen Mok's letter, like Monkey King, he wanted to know what Athena Chu had left in his heart. For this reason, Monkey King would rather die and look at his heart at the moment of death. When Monkey King finally put on the curse and cut off his emotions and desires, he was really sorry for him. Monkey King is really the most typical hero in Chinese culture. No matter how capable he is, he will always be excluded and wronged; no matter how wild he is, he is a sad man after all. There will always be the heart of the Monkey King, but the palm of the Buddha will never be revealed. It's too wild to be a god; it's too kind to be a monster. There is neither a god nor a monster, no one belongs to, being despised by gods, and not being approached by monsters.
Monkey King is destined to be a tragic hero.)
