      youth is gone



      The most intuitive feeling after watching it is that the Zhou style of the film is not as strong as the previous "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu". Xingye's usual routine of small characters accumulating power and finally counterattacking is not so extreme this time, and it also loses the super refreshing feeling of the previous ending. The presence of co-director Guo Zijian also makes the style of the film more divisive.

      One of the screenwriters is where is now, but...

      "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons": Feelings are gone!

      To this day, I still remember the story of "Journey to the West", which was stored in the computer in the dormitory by our classmates in college. Everyone has copied the plot in the movie in reality. Whoever looks in the mirror at the door in the morning will definitely shout: Pig! During the chat, if someone is too squeamish, someone will say to him "people are born by human beings, monsters are born by monsters" or so, or shout "ONLY YOU" into his ears. And the most widely circulated sentence...

      Only when you have suffered can you know the suffering of all sentient beings

      Only when you have had pain can you know the suffering of sentient beings; only when you have had attachments can you let go of your attachments; when you have cared, can you be free from caring. These three sentences have pointed out the past and present life of the river demon, the pig demon, and the monkey demon, and the cycle of love and hate. Xuanzang experienced one by one and realized the true meaning of it, so he resolved their pain, attachment, and concern. The serene and quiet...

      If I stay in the world, who would dare to be high above?

      There is a kind of movie in this world called Stephen Chow movie.
      With countless different stories and characters, there is only one theme stacked.
      That theme is called - Dreams.

      I like the interaction between the article and Shu Qi very much. The ending is already looming, but I still like those familiar plots. The demand and stinginess of a kiss seems to be continuing to read the big story Journey to the West. Chen Xuanzang's seemingly strong expression is in big love and...

      ten thousand years is too long, fight for now

      Once upon a time, now is gone, no more red
      leaves, long buried in the dust,
      beginning and end, always unchanged
      , you are drifting in the sky beyond the white clouds, turning up love and hatred in the
      bitter sea, 
      in the world, it is difficult to escape fate Never come again (dissipated love) Sitting alone and looking out of the world (I hope to continue in the future) Although the flowers will wither (only hope), they will bloom again (for you) The love of my life is...

      The worst thing about "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is not mediocrity, but the fact that we have heard so much about how Stephen Chow pursues perfection, polishes details, is picky, and impersonal... But in the end, he is still mediocre. How sad. Compared with such mediocrity that strives for perfection, I would rather it is mediocrity that is...

    Behind the scenes gags

    "Xuan Zang" Wen Zhang competes with the exorcist Chrissie Chau . Chrissie Chau has a graceful and sexy body. Wen Zhang is even more professional, with nosebleeds rushing like a spring, and glaring at the weird flowers. Netizens even complained that Wen Zhang's spare ribs were too aggressive. As Director, Stephen Chow not only guided from the side, but also acted in person at critical moments, demonstrating standard moves for Wen Zhang...

    Evaluation action

    In " A Chinese Odyssey·Love Of Eternity ", giving up one's life and taking meaning is one of the important themes expounded by the film. By the time " Kung Fu Hustle " made a joke, it still left a deep impression on the audience. For "Journey to the West", Stephen Chow's comedy style has not changed in this film. There is no lack of criticism of ignorance and compassion. A lot of laughter comes from sorrow, which is the constant theme...
