I remember a friend of mine once said that the West will always be good and evil fragmented, contradictory, and therefore always entangled in a battle of good and evil, good and evil can not be detached from looking at things.
In fact, it is precisely because of the separation of good and evil, the constant abandonment of evil and the pursuit of the best, that Western movies always look so fresh, sunny and full of justice and greatness.
On the other hand, Chinese films are always entangled in the struggle between good and evil, struggling between pain, desire, happiness, and freedom, without seeing pure sunshine.
Western movies always have clear and concise lines, and the avenues are simple. However, many Chinese films are always vague and ambiguous. Western films pay more attention to the "life and destiny of the protagonist" themselves, rather than to the external things, which makes life appear wonderful. Oriental films are full of infatuation, intoxication, and possessiveness towards external objects, which makes life seem particularly low-level, trivial, boring, and vulgar. It may be because the western cultural market is relatively developed, while the Chinese film market has a different background. In short, the former is thoughtful, while the latter is only for entertainment.
Closer to home.
After watching this movie, I feel so refreshed. A very good movie!
Funny, affectionate and philosophical.
Living in the face of death makes life all the more clear.
After watching this movie, Master Kong said: "How can I know death if I don't know life?"
