The four masterpieces "Journey to the West" are Wu Chengen's novels. Many people may not have read the original, but they must have seen the 86 version of "Journey to the West". Once it was broadcast, it made a national sensation and created a myth of 89.4% of ratings. It has been replayed more than 3,000 times, and it has never been tiresome. It has become a recognized classic that cannot be surpassed. I believe that even today, many people are willing to rewatch it, and it also evokes many childhood memories after 70.80.
But the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is not the earliest one. It was made into a movie as early as 1927, but it was banned. Why?
The entrepreneur Du Yu during the Ming Dynasty invited the most famous actress in Shanghai at that time, Yin Mingzhu, to film the classic segment "Pansi Cave" from Journey to the West. The story is about what happened after Tang Monk was caught in Pansi Cave. But it was banned shortly after it was released. The reason was that the audience thought the clothes inside were vulgar. In that era, wearing such bold, bare shoulders and bare legs really required great courage.
If you look at this movie from today’s perspective, it’s nothing, but it was really disrespectful and shameful in the feudal era at that time. At that time, it was brave to make such a movie, whether it was a director or an actor. The thinking is also very avant-garde, but it is a pity that he was born in a feudal dynasty and was doomed to end.
is not only that, there are still many people who think this movie ghost film, maybe because there were no color movies at that time, only black and white movies.
In fact, a large part of these dresses just restore the plot of the novel, and there is not much vulgarity.
I don’t know if you have ever watched this "indecent" movie? What do you guys think?
