During the Spring Festival this year, "Walk with God" released resources, and I finished reading it at a time. As a result, people were crying for the New Year.
I thought that fantasy was the biggest selling point of "Walk with God", but after watching it, I realized that the emotions under the fantasy coat were the main thing.
The second part is actually the same way, except that the focus of the story has shifted from the "noble man" to the three hell messengers .
If you say that the first part is to constantly pave the way for mother and child, and finally give your lacrimal gland a sudden crit, then the emotional expression of the second part is more restrained, and the core of the movie has become the forgiveness and redemption of guilt .
Karma is intertwined, the redemptive journey of atonement and forgiveness.
"Walk with God 2" set up a story line for each of the three hell messengers, three lines parallel, and interspersed with the parallel editing of the three thousand years ago.
Within 49 days, Jiang Lin will take Jin Xiuhong , who died unjustly, through the hell trial, resolve the grievances and Dechun to Yangjian, and bring back Xu Chunsan , the old man who was obstructed by the gods and bypassed death .
Cheng Zao Shen is the one who appeared "a little cute" in the first ending egg.
but!
The focus of this book is on the past and present lives of the three messengers .
Jieyuanmai and Dechun didn't know each other without fighting with Chengzhao. They knew that Chengzhao was for the grandson of the old man, which prolonged the old man's life.
Cheng Zao Shen promised that after 40 days after school, the grandson would let the messenger take away the old man. In exchange, he told the two of their previous lives because he was the messenger of hell who took them away thousands of years ago.
Jie Mai was a military commander of Goryeo who guarded the border thousands of years ago , known as the "white cat raccoon".
Dechun, a member of the Jurchen tribe , fled with a group of children on the day the village was raided by the enemy.
Jianglin retain memories of past lives , in order to make Jin Xiuhong Enron trial, access to reincarnation, he personally about his past life.
He is the son of General Jiang Wenzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Goryeo Army. In a battle, the general took an orphan and became a adoptive son, and Jiang Lin's subsequent incidents were all related to the orphan.
As the truth about the past lives of the three people gradually became clear, and the intersection between the three people in the previous years became clearer, the main object of the trial no longer seemed to be Jin Xiuhong.
Why did the three of them become messengers of hell?
Why only Jiang Lin has memories of past lives, but the other two don't?
Why is Jiang Lin obsessed with bringing Jin Xiuhong into reincarnation, is it really for his own reincarnation?
All the answers were made in the film, the questions left by the first part were added, and the first easter egg was used to lay a new foreshadowing for the later work.
As for the second egg , it directly makes the two "Walk with God" look more interesting, which can be regarded as the finishing touch of this series .
I don't want to give you too much spoiler. After the spoiler, watching a movie will lose a lot of fun.
After watching the second part, you will find that this one is less sensational than the previous one, and has more plot thickness . The three NPC-like messengers of hell in the previous game have introduced the background story completely in this one, and the image has been plumped.
In the final trial, Jin Soo-hung faced Won Dong-yeon and Lieutenant Park who buried him alive. He chose to forgive . This reflected the theme of the movie and echoed the words of Jin Soo-hong, who was still a ghost in the previous work:
Don't waste new tears for the sadness of the past.
When I watched it, I wondered: Is it right to know the past life for the messenger?
It stands to reason that the past should be allowed to pass, and it is still a thousand years ago. If they really know their past and why they died, are they mentally prepared to bear the truth?
It turns out that they were not prepared.
The more I understood my previous life, the pain and apology in my heart gradually deepened. If you pay more attention to solve the grievances, you will find that he has always maintained a handsome haircut, and for a while, he actually put down his bangs.
And Jiang Lin, as the only messenger of the three who kept the memory, as the trial progressed, we discovered that this memory was a punishment for him .
Since he can become a messenger of hell, there must be something unspeakable in his past life. He did not erase his memory, but let him bear the pain that lasted for thousands of years . For Jiang Lin, this was a kind of punishment.
-So, did you ask for their forgiveness?
-No, I couldn't do it, and I couldn't do it. That's why I will endure the guilt and pain that will never end.
To know the truth, one must bear the price of knowing the truth .
In the second half of the movie, Cheng Zao Shen said this sentence, which is also the most memorable sentence in the whole film:
There are no bad people in this world, only bad situations.
Looking back at the first part, Yuan Dongyan and Lieutenant Park clearly saw that Jin Xiuhong was still alive, why did they still bury him alive?
Because of fear.
In this horrible situation that happened suddenly, most people were absolutely unable to think quietly and judge wisely, which led them to make the wrong decision and die of Jin Xiuhong unjustly.
In a bad situation, how many people can make the right decision?
Even a brave warrior like Jiang Lin would make decisions that he regretted because of fear.
In "Walking with God 2", it seems that the messenger brought the "noble person" to rebirth through trial, but it is themselves who are actually being judged .
Karma is intertwined, bear the guilt and embark on a journey of atonement, be punished and seek forgiveness.
To put it simply: It's not terrible to make a mistake, but the terrible thing is that you still don't admit it .
Will choose to forgive, hoping that the other person is still in your life.
After watching the easter eggs, you will find that "Walking with God" must have a sequel. Such fantasy movies are what we should see.
Still the old saying: I 'm not a loser after seeing it .
By the way, China also played a particularly big role in the film.
At last,
Thank you for reading what I wrote.
