, "Jiang Ziya" has been very polarized. Some people say it is a good film, while others say it is a bad film. If
is purely entertaining and wants to watch a children's cartoon, then there is a high probability that you will be disappointed, because what really wants to show is the not-so-good human nature .
If you calm down and watch it, you will find that although the movie has many flaws, it is a good movie worth watching. In
, I want to write about the "big villain" nine-tailed fox.
The nine-tailed fox, whether in "Feng Shen Yan Yi" or "Jiang Ziya", is a hateful character.
Although she appeared and what she did later was the will of "God" (Nuwa in the original book, Tianzun in the movie), but she led her fellow clan to commit the monstrous crime.
Therefore, in which work, her final ending is to apologize with death, and she missed the chance to be immortal.
However, , as a chess piece, and her race, the final tragic situation is still mixed .
In the film, the nine-tailed fox is killed, but she is not reconciled because she was lured by Tianzun. The lock of fate between her and the human girl Su Daji (Xiao Jiu) was locked by Tianzun himself. Tianzun said that they would help him unify the three realms and promised to make her immortal.
After she was resurrected through Xiao Jiu's soul, the first thing she had to do was to release the unjust souls of the fox sons and grandchildren who were implicated by her and sealed in the Guixu.
This is what she owes them, and she will never forget it even if she goes to die.
All her regrets stem from her own difference in thoughts, from her own greed .
01 One thought, life-long hatred
"At the beginning, he promised to help Nine Tails ascend to the sky, and the price is to let the fox and humans connect this lock to help him launch a war and unify the three realms. Who knows, it will be done. Later, in order to cover up the facts, he killed the fox tribe and buried it in this bottomless abyss. It will never be supernatural. The fox tribe was also a victim of that battle. It was me who killed them because of my greed."
as a demon Clan, in the Three Realms, is inferior and despised by people and gods. Just like Shen Gongbao in "The Romance of the Gods", even if everything is better than Jiang Ziya, but because of his demon origin, he is not reused everywhere.
Therefore, being able to enshrine gods is the ultimate dream of all beings in the demon world.
In myths and legends, the demon who wants to ascend to the sky must undergo transitional calamity, and this transitional calamity is either successful or broken.
For Nine-Tailed Fox, the leader of the fox clan, even if he has cultivated for a thousand years, he is still a demon . If she can take this one step to reach the sky and rank in the fairy class, then she will ascend to heaven, lead a group of foxes and others to get rid of the status of a demon, and be respected from then on. What temptation is this for the nine-tailed fox?
Therefore, once greed has arisen, even if it offends the world, try it. And Tianzun took advantage of this.
is this difference in thoughts, and while people have experienced catastrophe, it also brought the fox tribe into a disaster.
returns to the market, Tianzun said, that is where the soul can be reincarnated. He also said that as long as Xiao Jiu was sent to the market to reincarnate, the fate lock between the fox tribe and humans would be broken.
However, this is another big lie.
Xiaojiu walked into the gate of Guixu, and the nine-tailed fox followed. She smashed the seal of Guixu, but what was summoned was the soul of the fox grandson.
It turns out that is not a place of reincarnation, but a land of souls. All the souls who walked into the gate of Guixu were sealed in the ground, and could never live beyond.
02 Give up oneself and release thousands of souls
As far as humans are concerned, the nine-tailed fox is inexcusable, and even for the fox tribe, she is also a sinner that leads to annihilation. However, her initial thought was not only for herself, but also for the race.
And her determination to give up her life and save the souls of the dead fox tribe was also moving.
She is ruthless and passionate.
In the end, when Tianzun took the petals as the thunder fire, and killed the nine-tailed fox, watching the spirits floating from the ground to the sky, the nine-tailed fox closed his eyes in the fire.
She finally redeemed her sins, those who were releasedThe soul will regain a new life with Xiao Jiu. When
saw this, she realized that she didn't want to die at the beginning, not because she wanted to steal a life, but because she still had a wish: First, to rescue the sealed fox soul, but to expose the conspiracy of the open-air respect.
There seems to be a trace of kindness hidden in her great evil.
03 What is good? What is evil?
In this film, there are no absolute good people, and no absolute evil people.
Tianzun said: "There is nothing wrong with a good book, but for God, it is a sin to be good only to one person. It is God's fate to give up one person and save the common people." However, he launched a war, which caused the lives of the people to lose their lives.
Jiang Ziya said: "If you don't save one person, how can you save the common people? One person is like dew, and the common people are like rivers and seas. There is no difference." But he followed the orders of his teacher and caused countless people to lose their lives and relatives.
and the nine-tailed fox, who murdered innocent people, but also dedicated to the fox family. Compared with
, who is more evil? Who is better?
Wang Yangming said: "No good and no evil are the body of the heart, there is good and evil is the movement of the will, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and removing evil for good is a matter of understanding."
There is no good and evil in the heart, when you think, good and evil are born.
Nine-tailed fox, in order to achieve its goal, abandons its conscience and does whatever it takes. Because of this, they will be used by others and become others' pawns.
So, in reality, for selfishness, to harm the interests of others, isn't it the same for people who step on others to climb up?
Concluding remarks:
nine-tailed fox is not only a fictional "evil" demon in movies and myths, she is also a "selfish desire" in human nature.
Everyone has desire, or fame, or interest, or power. The important thing is to let this desire spread endlessly, or to restrain it within a certain range with a bottom line.
If a person becomes a slave to desire, he will be easily used by others just like a nine-tailed fox. Finally, he will be controlled by others, unable to get rid of it, and do things that make him regretful for a lifetime.
Ancient people's motto: "A gentleman has something to do, but he doesn't. Know what he can do and do it, know what he can't do and don't do it." If
is not evil, it is the bottom line.
