The only thing that can be linked to summer vacation now is probably summer vacation, which is a bit worrying.
.
However, this yearâs summer vacation is still very lively, and Piao also joins in the fun.
picked out the summer movie Douban " Falling into the World " with the highest score and took a look.
To be honest, Piao has always been very tolerant towards domestic animation, and I always feel that progress is worthy of praise, but "Falling into the World" obviously far exceeded my expectations.
The theme of the animation is also very innovative. Finally it is no longer the same as " Journey to the West " "Fengshen" "White Snake", but a story about the descendants of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The Weaver Girl in
is still a contemporary Weaver Girl in , who has maternal energy and embodies the ideal of women.
There are really too few films arranged! Itâs all about tap water recommendations.
I really donât want such a good and thoughtful film to be buried, so letâs talk about it today.
Whatâs new this time around is that although it is based on the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it is different from the previous love-brain adventures that gave audiences heartbreak. Instead, it re-adapts this mythical story from the perspective of the descendants of the Weaver Girl.
It is worth mentioning that Piaokan is a Cantonese version, has a more life-oriented experience. It seems that there is also a Mandarin version, so you can choose by yourself.
ok, the plot begins!
His name is Jinfeng. He was originally one of the many working gods in heaven, but his mother was the Weaver Girl.
This is not a smooth workplace for the second generation.
Heaven once suffered disaster because Zhinu was greedy for the human world and secretly let go of the stars. Therefore, to the gods of heaven, Zhinu was the culprit, and her son was naturally not welcomed in heaven.
When Jinfeng reported the progress of capturing Xingxu to a group of holographic projections, it was clearly his credit, but he was verbally scorned and even robbed of credit because of his life experience.
The scene is serious like a Tencent conference room, a workerâs nightmare, but for a movie, the fusion of ancient style and science fiction is quite good.
The gods also go to work in a cyberpunk style.
Jin Feng has always had a doubt, is my mother really a sinner?
Fortunately, he has a god of war master who is willing to believe in him and let him atone for his mother's sins and descend to earth to conquer the escaped stars.
After Jin Feng came to earth, he met a ghostly girl named Goddess Xiaofan.
When Xiao Fan first appeared on the scene, his first reaction was that this was Jin Fengâs official match, but later he realized that he was being narrow-minded.
The temple where the golden wind descends on earth is extremely popular as a medium for gods to descend to earth.
The plot is a bit human at this point, focusing on gaining insight into the psychology of offering incense and worshiping Buddha.
It is better to make your own decisions than to ask God for divination, study, wealth, marriage, and peace.
If you really encounter a deity descending to earth, you should risk your life to hug the deityâs thigh.
The first town Jinfeng and Xiaofan went to, Qigu Town, was considered Xiaofanâs territory. The details in
are a mixture of modern Chinese characteristics.
There are many people, and the night market is bustling. Everyone loves tea, and pearl milk tea is even better.
There are also dragon dance performances on the streets at night.
hot pot restaurant thoughtfully prepares herbal tea to relieve heat for Cantonese people who cannot eat spicy food.
After leaving Guangdong, who would trust herbal tea?
Birthday celebration is about saying goodbye to all the troubles~
The unprepossessing old man on the roadside will just reward the opera singer with a bag of money.
The overall atmosphere in this paragraph is relaxed, humorous and modern. At this time, Jin Feng and Xiao Fan had a heart-to-heart talk, and he understood the reason why Xiao Fan wanted to go to heaven.
Xiaofan has been without a father or mother since she was born. An old goddess who was passing by picked her up and taught her the skills of divination. The necklace her mother left for her has always been with her.
The old goddess calculated that Xiaofanâs mother was not a mortal, but a fairy.
Jinfeng asked Xiaofan if he hated his mother.
Xiaofan said that her mother must have her own difficulties, otherwise she would not have to abandon herself and leave a token for herself.
Before this, Jinfeng's feelings for his mother were complicated.
The environment he was in had always tried to exaggerate Weaver Girl's selfishness and rebelliousness.
But in his childhood memory, his mother was gentle and patient, and gave him full of love.
Xiaofanâs words seemed to tilt the balance in his heart.
There are several details worth recalling here. After the death of her mother-in-law, Xiaofan was an orphan and had no ability to make money, so he often committed petty theft. Although Jinfeng did not know the relationship between them at the time, he was still willing to help Xiaofan pay back the money.
There is also a little boy who stole that Jin Feng met by chance. After learning about his sad life experience, he was not embarrassed.
Whether it is Xiaofan or a little boy, they are still children at heart, wandering around society without a support, and they always need someone to lead them on the right path after making mistakes.
Yu Xiaofan, Jinfeng took on the responsibility of education, so Xiaofan will work with Jinfeng to protect the world without hesitation.
After experiencing the folk customs, of course we should not forget about serious matters. The golden wind descends to earth to catch the stars.
What the stars he captured feared the most was his golden thread, which was inherited from her motherâs divine power.
The last star he conquered was a winged fire snake. People in the surrounding villages knew of the existence of this snake, but it did not harm anyone. Instead, it always guarded a dilapidated hut in the mountains. .
When Jinfeng chased the Winged Fire Snake and saw the ruins, he saw the portrait in his memory on the dilapidated wall.
Mother, father, loom, and cows are lifelike above, and the surrounding ruins are dilapidated, showing traces of war. But he still didn't know the truth.
The story is actually not difficult to understand. From the perspective of Jinfeng, a descendant of Weaver Girl, we use deconstruction techniques tracing back to the source restores the image of Weaver Girl.
The simple story can give you different feelings over and over again, and every character is vivid.
Although, when I was writing today, was interested in the role of God of War for no reason.
In the film, he is a character who ranks among the immortals but always has a dark side of human nature inside.
The reason is that he always ranks last in human incense offerings KPI.
seems a bit unreasonable at first glance, but after thinking about it again, it seems to make some sense.
Young people always like to joke that "the elder cannot kneel in front of the Temple of Wealth", but from the perspective of the God of War, the current peaceful age was forged with his blood.
But the younger generation has forgotten that even in ranking, he can only stand on the edge and has no say at all.
Just imagine, you worked hard when the project was first started, but after the project runs stably, no one remembers you. Everyone enjoys the fruits of your labor and steps on you.
Who can tolerate this?
So he even hopes that the world will be less peaceful, so as to reflect his value as the God of War.
His evil thoughts are not without reason, and even slowing down can make the audience empathize. Although
is a mythical subject, the plot is considered from the most basic human perspective, and the level is quite good.
Understand and understand, you will find that the God of War actually puts power and reputation above the well-being of the world like the gods who dissatisfied him. The only difference between him and them is that he has not become a vested interest.
In such a cruel world, the only way to resist the oppression of others is to make yourself more cruel.
Are you familiar? This is not the heavenly version of social concepts and the law of the jungle. In fact, in ancient legends, heaven is a replica of the power system and hierarchy of the human world. It is even crazier than the human world, and the entire human race is often buried with it.
By comparing it with the God of War, you can find out why as mentioned above, this time the Weaver Girl is a contemporary one who embodies feminist ideals.
Letâs first look at the function of the Weaver Girl in heaven.
In the version we are familiar with, the Weaver Girl is the "daughter of the Emperor of Heaven" who "works hard every year to weave brocade and heavenly clothes."
In "Falling into the Mortal World", the Weaver Girl is a priest who looks after the sky, controls the stars, and possesses powerful magic tools like the star axis and the golden shuttle.
The stars are the threads left on the sky when the ancient gods sewed the human and divine worlds together. There are twenty-eight stars in total.
If the thunder of the God of War is for division and destruction, the golden shuttle of the Weaver Girl is for stitching the cracks between heaven and earth, for connection, communication and coexistence.
The function of the Weaver Girl shows the characteristics and ideals of women.
There are many versions of the story of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd from ancient times to the present. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl basically evolved from two stars, to two gods, to immortal love, and then to the "stealing of clothes" that ruined the three worlds. The evolution of the story is basically in line with that time The interest of the times.
The most common meaning of the Weaver Girl that remains in people's hearts is to resist the restraint of heaven on human desire.
No matter what, the choice of the Weaver Girl (men farm and women weave), I am afraid that contemporary women will appreciate six words: not worth it, unnecessary.
The groundbreaking point of "Falling into the Mortal World" is that it is doubtful whether the trial of the Weaver Girl in the Heavenly Court was an unjust case?
In this film, "waste of love" is a lie used by the God of War to cover up his desire for power and jealousy. The truth is that the God of War learned of the God of War's conspiracy to split the world, so she took away the twenty-eight stars and took the initiative to descend to earth, leaving the God of War with nothing to do. .
In this version, Weaver Girl is dedicated to her duties, has broad sympathy and love for the world, and is willing to sacrifice herself for the harmony of heaven and earth.
She possesses the golden shuttle, a magical weapon that even the God of War is afraid of, but she never oppresses the weak in her superiority.
If we talk about fame, she sacrificed herself to prevent the people from being poisoned. Is her fame not greater than that of the God of War? But what she wanted was never to satisfy her inflated selfish desires with the worship and admiration of mortals.
To put it bluntly, the God of War and her are two different value systems.
The former has plunged the world into fire and water for these false names, but he does not know that all false names turn into dust in an instant; the latter makes a slight leap and can easily give up his identity as a god for the sake of peace in the world.
Comparatively, it is a great achievement and a disregard for living beings. Sympathy, tolerance and fraternity are the brilliance of motherhood.
In addition, what is clever is that the main storyline of the film, Jin Fengâs search for his mother, is also the process of Jin Fengâs transition from the harsh and cold order of the divine world to a warm and loving maternal narrative.
Jinfeng initially wanted to atone for his mother's sins and rectify his name by establishing a career. When he went down to earth and experienced some experience, especially when he met Xiaofan, who was kind, eager but capable of loving others, he understood the value of attachment between people.
From "What do others have to do with me" to "Emotions are mortal spells, even gods cannot escape".
Jinfeng has always been longing for someone to miss him.
There is a detail in the film, the golden wind recovers the stars, and the Emperor of Heaven promotes him. He hesitated, and suddenly He found it boring, and the so-called future in heaven lost its appeal to him.
There is another setting. During the decisive battle, Jinfeng's force increased greatly. Thanks to the infusion of his mother's powerful spiritual power, he actually filled the sky with his own heartstrings and inherited his mother's will.
Faced with the unshakable, powerless, and self-defeating laws of heaven, should we alienate ourselves into a puppet of the power order, or should we maintain human spiritual strength and exchange our sincere feelings for a healthy self that is missed and loved by others.This softness, powerful force of emotion and love also belongs to motherhood.
From the previous narrative, you can probably see the creative use of the elements of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in "Down to Earth".
This is the first work to bring the ancient star culture to the screen. The twenty-eight stars are transformed into animal shapes, and beasts and cute pets can be switched with one click.
This is the second northern cow Cow Taurus that runs like a corgi. In the film, it is also the old cow beside the Cowherd. There is also a tail fire tiger that looks like a cute pet toy.
is such a thoughtful, affectionate, and innovative work. Piao really canât bear to have it buried due to film schedules, promotions, and commercial films.
In addition to the excellent work itself and the super burning action scenes, I was also moved by their boldness and breakthrough. Their deconstruction of myths and pursuit of emotions were all contemporary at the time.
I sincerely hope to hear more young voices, more interesting creations, and more dazzling female characters on the screen.
So if you like it, you are welcome to come to the theater to support it ~
We often say that the road to national comics is long and the journey is long.
But seeing so many hardworking people on the road, I suddenly felt that it was not that far away.
