The Buddha said: " When there is no delusion, one mind is one Buddha country; when there is delusion, one mind is one hell "!

Humans are born with desires.

Desires are greed, and greed in life will turn into "sin hindrances" after death, and will be judged by the messengers of hell.

There is a saying in Korea that

"If a person becomes a dead person after death, he will be judged seven times within 49 days in the underworld! The seven kings of the underworld will judge for lies , laziness , injustice , betrayal , violence , murder , and family relationships. Only through all judgments can the deceased be reincarnated. "

The story happened in today's Korean movie "Walking with God: Crime and Punishment"!

Movie title "Walking with God: Crime and Punishment"

The hero of the story, Jin Zihong (played by Cha Tae Hyun), is a fire officer.

In a rescue operation, in order to rescue a little girl trapped in a fire, she unfortunately fell from a height and died.

Jin Zihong's death was marked as " noble person ".

What is a "noble person", that is, a person who has used justice to practice life all his life, and desperately protects others regardless of his own safety , and has a very high chance of passing the seven trials of the underworld!

It is different from the ancient Chinese legend that after death, people are killed by black and white impermanence.

There are three messengers sent from the underworld, they are Jiang Lin (played by Ha Jung-woo), the messenger of the day to resolve the grudges (played by Joo Ji-hoon) and the messenger of the moon Li Dechun (played by Jin Heung-ki).

The three messengers escorted the "noble man" Jin Zihong through the seven trials.

Its identity is equivalent to a human lawyer.

For thousands of years, there have been very few deceased people who have appeared as "noble people", and it has been 422 years since the last "noble people" died.

Even if they are defined as "noble people", according to the laws of the underworld, they must pass the judgment of the seven kings.

There is no fixed order in the seven trials, and they appear randomly according to the severity of the deceased's sins.

Only the king of hell, King Yama, is qualified to know everything!

However, after Jin Zihong came to hell, the first trial he faced was murder hell !

There is hot magma in the underground of the murder hell. Those who are convicted of the dead will be tortured in the hot magma until the end of the punishment!

In the trial of murder hell, Jin Zihong was found guilty!

The reason is that in the previous fire rescue, the teammates were abandoned. After Jin Zihong saved the people, it indirectly caused the death of the teammates.

Jin Zihong was charged with "murder"!

But Jiang Lin explained that the reason why Jin Zihong abandoned his teammates was to save more innocent people trapped in the building.

And his teammates also signaled that Jin Zihong should not worry about himself and save others first, so he missed the best time to save his teammates!

Sacrificing one life and saving many lives, is this merit? Or sin?

As said in the film " How can the weight of life be calculated ?"

Teammates died because of Jin Zihong, and Jin Zihong lived in self-blame all his life.

If you let everyone choose once, and maybe save many lives, it can be regarded as the right choice!

In the end, Jin Zihong was found not guilty!

After Murder Hell, Laziness Hell follows!

On the way to the lazy hell, Jin Zihong finally asked the doubt in his heart, " Why save people like me "?

Li Dechun replied, " Thousands of years ago, the three of them had an agreement with King Yama, that if 49 people were reincarnated within a thousand years, then the three of them could also be reincarnated, and they could designate their reincarnation targets ."

And Jin Zihong is the 48th person.

It turned out that this was the reason why the three messengers tried their best to help Jin Zihong!

But compared to reincarnation, Jin Zihong wants to keep the memory of his mother!

In the hell of laziness, Jin Zihong's hard work was recognized by the King of Chujiang.

But Jin Zihong admits that he works hard just to make money!

To King Chu Jiang, money is a false god!

Anyone who advocates the supremacy of money will be enslaved for life after death!

But as long as people live in the world, they have to run around for life and live for their family!

There is a reason for Jin Zihong to work hard to make money. In his family there is an old mother who is seriously ill, and a younger brother Jin Xiuhong who is working hard for the judge exam!

Jin Zihong is the elder brother, this is his responsibility and obligation!

Jack Ma once said that " money is the easiest thing to get in the world ", this kind of consciousness is probably beyond the understanding of most ordinary people like Jin Zihong!

After all, not everyone is Jack Ma!

It is true that a penny can beat a hero!

Now, Jin Zihong, who has passed away, finally got rid of the pain in the mortal world, and finally got a breather!

After Laziness Hell, Lie Hell!

And in the sword forest halfway to the third trial, the monster hell ear raged!

The appearance of hell ears means that the immediate relatives of the deceased in the underworld have unjust death ghosts, which leads to chaos in the entire underworld.

In order to find out the truth, Jiang Lin handed over the trial of Jin Zihong to Li Dechun to settle his grievances, and went to the realm alone to find the whereabouts of the ghost.

At this point, the story line splits in two.

After some investigation in the real world, Jiang Lin soon learned the true face of the wronged ghost: Jin Zihong's younger brother Jin Xiuhong (played by Jin Dongxu).

Jin Xiuhong became an unjustly dead ghost and caused chaos in the world, while Jin Zihong was chased and killed by Hell's ears in the underworld, which just confirmed the only principle of " guilty must be paid "!

Why did Jin Xiuhong die unjustly? What the hell happened to him?

In order to find out these answers, Jiang Lin used space images to restore all the scenes on the day of Jin Xiuhong's death, and only then did he learn the truth of Jin Xiuhong's unjust death.

It turns out that Jin Xiuhong was accidentally shot and killed by his own people, and I have to say that it is indeed injustice!

In order for Jin Xiuhong to successfully pass the Seven Great Trials and restore order to the underworld, the body of Jin Xiuhong, the unjustly killed ghost, must be found and destroyed.

This is the law of hell!

At the same time, Jin Zihong was trapped in the hell of lies, forging 98 letters to the children in the father's name.

And these letters were all sent to the younger daughter of her teammates who had unfortunately lost their lives in the fire.

The reason for Jin Zihong's guilt is that he did not take into account the grief of the little girl after learning the truth of her father's death!

So be punished!

But this kind of white lie hides Jin Zihong's goodwill and encourages the growth of the little girl!

In addition to the 98 forged letters to the little girl, Jin Zihong also forged letters to his mother, endured hardships, injuries, and bloodshed, which are not reflected in Jin Zihong's letters at all!

Isn't this kind of feeling of reporting good news and not bad news a true portrayal of every wandering and hardworking worker?

Jin Zihong's lies are well-intentioned and naturally innocent!

In the next four hells, because Jin Zihong himself is a noble person, coupled with his justice, the hell of injustice and the hell of betrayal will allow Jin Zihong to pass smoothly!

The real trouble is, violent hell!

Through video observation, Jin Zihong once had a serious violent act when he was 12 years old!

He beat his younger brother Jin Xiuhong and tried to kill his own mother with a pillow.

Killing one's mother and killing one's brother is a felony that cannot be forgiven, whether in the underworld or in the underworld!

In the violent hell, Jin Zihong could not refute!

And the messenger Li Dechun can only apply for the cumulative punishment of the next heaven and earth.

Cumulative punishment , that is, if the defendant cannot be acquitted in the related hell, the defendant will accumulate aggravated punishment, and will also deprive the debate messenger of all qualifications.

On the other hand, Jiang Lin did not destroy Jin Xiuhong's body and brought him to the military camp.

In the military camp, Jin Xiuhong saw his mute mother.

Jin Xiuhong's death was rumored to be a "deserter", but the mother believed that her son was innocent.

Carrying a plank of justice for his son, he stumbled to the barracks.

In the military camp, the mute mother was pushed to the ground. Jin Xiuhong, who had been appeased, could no longer restrain his revenge impulse after seeing this scene!

Become a devil!

It is conceivable how desperate an elderly mother feels when she loses two loves in less than half a month in her later years!

The most painful thing in the world is to send black hair in white!

It is also conceivable that the two sons should blame themselves for not being filial to their mother!

To suffer and suffer outside, you can endure it!

But seeing my biological mother being bullied, I couldn't bear it!

It's not without reason that Jin Xiuhong's anger broke out, but the person who can calm Jin Xiuhong's anger is his brother Jin Zihong.

Jin Zihong was convicted of violating his family's family for being suspected of killing his biological mother, and was deprived of his "noble" status~

The reason is that 15 years ago, because of poverty and his mother's terminal illness, Jin Zihong was unable to bear the burden of the family, and attempted suicide after killing his mother and younger brother.

But later, because of fear and guilt, he chose to run away from home and never returned home once in 15 years!

Through the mirror image, Jin Zihong learned that when he had this evil thought, his mother knew it.

At this moment, the mother's love for her son and the son's guilt for her mother have all been sublimated!

"Walking With God: Crime and Punishment" seems to be a suspense film full of reversals and surprises!

You can guess the beginning, but you can't guess the ending; you can guess the ending, but you can't guess the process, exciting and climaxing!

At the same time, the film is also very close to life and has profound practical significance.

This script discusses the good and evil in human nature, and it seems to be proving the nature of " human nature is inherently good "!

Only the deceased who have passed the seven judgments can be reincarnated!

Does it mean that people are born as clean as a blank sheet of paper?

The story of "Crime and Punishment" ends here, but the story is far from over...

    Using the most expensive cost and most special effects in Korean film history to bring Amway's most oriental family affection, I give it four stars for the filial piety in it. As for the seven-fold trial, the plaintiff and the defendant, these nondescript cos Western stuff, forget it. Cha Tae-hyun was miserable, and Ha Jung-woo and Kim Dong-wook were almost robbed of the scene. I seem to have gotten the role of Do Kyung Soo... KI! ?

    The depth of the theme, the design of the story, the foundation of the performance, the grasp of the rhythm, the beauty of the picture... Almost all of them have been achieved. Every time I see a Korean drama like this, I always subconsciously ask why people... Forget it, watch it carefully Movies.
