"You will have to pay it back sooner or later when you come out," the movie "Legend of White Ghosts: Escape" tells such a story. General Jacob, in the name of a god, "slashes demons and slays demons", he is no two at a time, young and vigorous. With one's own strength, humiliate the dignity of a certain king of Baghdad and his generals, and never let go of their lives. The woman and the child will not let it go. In order to avoid being humiliated, the queen took care of her children and then killed herself, all of Jacob's violent justice instantly fell apart.

None of the young and old of a certain king and family in Baghdad died personally at Jacob's hands, but their grievances and curses have haunted Jacob ever since. Since then, the wandering skeletal remains, wandering east.

At this time, a very interesting design appeared in the movie. Jacob killed the prince before he wandered, and he was also the prince who saved and defended in the border. From the general direction of the story, this is an obvious way of salvation.

In the Boundary Tavern, Jacob’s reasons and motivations for fighting the injustice and rescuing the prince’s siblings are not fully portrayed. As spectators, we know that the princes and brothers will be rescued. The black history of the past was a nightmare that Jacob could not break away. Constantly drunk and smoked opium, it was he deliberately let his consciousness chaos, escape the torture of evil. His hands were covered with too much blood, and the sense of guilt was so strong that he could not get rid of it, appearing suddenly and faintly in his vague consciousness. Washing his face by the river, in the wild, bothered him all the time. The only way to relieve his guilt is to save people. And his carelessness put the prince brother and sister in distress, involving his friend Jialan and his friends, which made his guilt more and more serious. It is precisely because of this that at the end of the story, he has a spirit of giving up his life. In my opinion, this is not pure chivalry. Tracing Jacob's secret heart, you will find the fundamental reason why he put his own life and death out of consideration. He is offering sacrifices for his sins, he is already a man who lives to death. His sin is hidden in his heart, and the best way to obtain salvation is the affirmation of history. In faraway Baghdad, he knew that his name had long been recorded in history, and he was scolded by thousands. If he sacrificed his life for the prince, sister and brother, from the perspective of normal political common sense, Jacob's loyalty and chivalry will be written in a big book, and thus will be left in history. This is probably the most direct and utilitarian idea deep in his heart. He is a person kidnapped by history.

On the way, he accepted the baptism of love. The collapse of his values ​​at the very beginning, in essence, was the conflict between faith and love. Although this love was too extreme, its power made him extremely tremble. This way of salvation is also the way to believe in the power of love. During the journey, he had a spark of love with Princess Lian, played by Liu Yifei. She infected him with her tenderness and kindness, urged him to give up drug and alcohol addiction, and helped him to get rid of the demons. In order to protect her brother, she was unambiguous. In the end, it was also to protect Jacob, and to fight the enemy together, and almost died. There is also his friend who helped him complete his mission and gave his life. These no longer have the rigid constraints of faith, but also the perceptual power of love.

Fortunately, not only did he save the prince and brother, he also survived. For him, it is not necessarily lucky. There was a change in thinking and understanding, which allowed him to accept his new self. Say goodbye to Jialan, a friend who is directly related to the past, and farewell to her past self.

This road of salvation has gone through hardships and ups and downs, for which it even paid the price of the lives of friends, and some people were also implicated. Their deaths made him a new life. And he no longer has to be tortured by the nightmare of sin, and the road to redemption has come to a successful end.
