324. "Dark Westward Journey" (4)(1/2)
Chen Lin was a little fascinated by the movie, and he found that the biggest selling point of this movie was actually not just the special effects, but also the rhythm.
The pace of this "Dark Journey to the West" is very fast, and it seems that it takes a movie to finish the content of a TV series.
But it does not give people any impetuous feeling, but instead feels refreshing and unremitting.
After Sun Wukong popped out of the stone, the rhythm of the whole movie was very compact.
But that's true. Chen Lin doesn't want to miss every second, for fear that when he lowers his head to write, he can no longer keep up with the pace when he goes to the movie to watch it again.
.............
After angrily smashing the River God Temple, Sun Wukong started his journey again, but this incident also made him feel a little confused about these gods and Buddhas.
On the next journey, Sun Wukong became more careful.
But even so, he encountered countless crises along the way, and even saw what it means to be sinister and what it means to be "Heavenly Punishment".
That day, Sun Wukong passed by a small mountain village. This mountain village was quite good, especially when it came to Sun Wukong.
It’s not because he likes animals, but because Sun Wukong saved several children on the road.
These children were almost killed in a valley playing in the mountains and were rescued by Sun Wukong.
Because of this relationship, the villagers in the mountain village are very enthusiastic and fond of the monkey Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong felt a little tired after rushing for such a long time. It was rare to meet a mountain village that welcomed him so much, so he was preparing to rest in the mountain village for two days.
This mountain village is very harmonious for Sun Wukong. Although he often sees some villagers making big fuss about trivial matters, Sun Wukong likes this small mountain village very much.
And those children were particularly close to Sun Wukong because of their rescue.
I almost recognized him as my elder brother.
"Brother Monkey, do you think there are no gods on the mountain?" That day, Sun Wukong and a little kid were lying on the roof of their house, looking very leisurely.
"Zhizhi (there are gods, but gods may not be all good people)." Sun Wukong did not refine the horizontal bones and could not spit out people's words.
So the child couldn't understand it, but the child didn't care at all. After seeing Sun Wukong respond to him, the nature of his speech became even stronger.
"Brother Monkey, if I could also have spiritual roots, would I be able to learn magic from Wuzhuang Temple on the mountain? But what is spiritual roots?" The children's questions came one by one.
Sun Wukong didn't know what the spiritual root was, but the child didn't need his answer.
"Brother Monkey, I tell you that there is a very beautiful girl in our village. She is the daughter of Uncle Cheng's family. She is very beautiful and doesn't look like a person from our mountain village at all. This is what my mother and the others said, and it's a pity to be born in our mountain village."
"Squeak."
"Hehe, Brother Monkey, you can't see you. Xiao Cui was picked up by someone on the mountain and said she wanted to take her to learn spells. At that time, she would be an immortal." The child said with a flash of joy, as if he was the one who learned spells.
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up instantly. Hasn't he been looking for experts to learn magic?
Now there is a chance, so he wrote down all the information the child said.
And the child began to feel melancholy as he spoke.
"Hey, you said that after Xiao Cui learned magic, she wouldn't go back to our village? It's been two years since she's coming back, and I miss her all the time." Perhaps because Sun Wukong was just a monkey, the child spoke freely to him.
The words that were originally hidden in my heart are now spoken like beans poured in bamboo tubes.
Although Sun Wukong did not understand the child's thoughts, he also understood that this little girl named Xiao Cui occupies a very important position in the child's heart, and even always liked this little girl.
Otherwise, two years later, I wouldn't have been thinking about her all the time.
You should know that children have a lot of forgetfulness. Two years may be compensated for adults, but for them, it has been a very long time.
"Zhizhi. (If you have time, I'll help you see Xiao Cui."
.............
In this way, Sun Wukong stayed in the village for three days, swept away all his fatigue, and then began to continue on the road.
After saying goodbye to the villagers, Sun Wukong ran directly into the mountains.
He is going to find the Wuzhuang Temple.
Although he has a goal now, if he can find an expert to learn magic now, he doesn't need to run too much.
Wuzhuang Temple is not easy to find. Sun Wukong searched for two days before finding this place. Looking at the pair of door couplets that were so loud that they were a little excited.
However, when he went to knock on the door, no one agreed. After knocking for half an hour, no one came out to take a look.
"What's going on? Have you been on a long journey?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.
He was really right at all, and everyone inside had traveled far away.
After all, Sun Wukong is a monkey. Although he has lived in human society for a while and has been used to human society, some habits are still difficult to change.
So Sun Wukong didn't struggle for long and flipped into the courtyard wall directly.
After wandering around for a long time, I didn't see anyone. Sun Wukong was sure that everyone here had gone on a long trip.
He was not in a hurry and was about to wait here, but after searching for so long, he was a little hungry, so he was about to see what to eat here.
When he arrived at the backyard, Sun Wukong suddenly saw a huge tree full of fruits.
Sun Wukong was about to pick the fruit, but soon he found that the fruit actually looked like a human baby, and was shocked.
However, Sun Wukong is not a timid person, and in terms of ability to recognize fruits, monkeys have a natural talent.
So soon, Sun Wukong was sure that these were fruits, not human heads, and there was a strange fragrance that made people unable to help swallowing their saliva.
Seeing these ginseng fruits, Sun Wukong could not bear it. He looked around with guilt. Although he had been sure that there was no one, he was still a little guilty about stealing things.
After confirming that there was no one again, Sun Wukong started climbing the tree and prepared to go up and pick two fruits to taste.
But I don’t know what happened, but the tree seemed to be covered with oil. With Sun Wukong’s ability to climb trees, he couldn’t even climb up.
After falling back and forth several times, Sun Wukong's stubborn temper even got up, and he kept crawling like this.
I don’t know how many times I was thrown down, but Sun Wukong suddenly felt empty under him and his whole body fell down again.
It turned out that he had already thrown a big hole in the place where he fell. Of course, this big hole was definitely not caused by Sun Wukong, but was already there, but it was hidden before.
Sun Wukong first rubbed his monkey's butt in pain, and then began to look around, but soon, his whole body became stiff and he was in place, his heart began to keep getting cold, and an incredible look appeared in his eyes.
What appeared in front of him was not an underground secret room, but some skeletons, and several babies who had just died, and their corpses were still intact.
It can be seen from which bones, that the largest one here should not be over ten years old, and what is even more terrifying is that most of the bones here are babies.
Sun Wukong instantly thought of the fruit tree that looked like a baby on the tree above, and immediately understood.
The fruit on the tree is not a human baby, but it is cultivated from the corpse of a human baby.
At first, when I was at the foot of the mountain, I heard the child say that there were gods living there, but in Sun Wukong's view, this was not a god? Is this clearly an evil ghost, an evil ghost who eats people!
At this moment, Sun Wukong was first frightened, then furious, trying to destroy the place directly.
But it is obvious that with Sun Wukong's current ability, he had no way to destroy the ginseng fruit tree.
Whether he wants to overturn it or burn it with fire, it has no effect.
I don’t know that after too long, Sun Wukong slowly began to regain his rationality and knew that he could not do anything, so he took a deep look at this place, remembered it in his heart, and turned around and left.
He did not go back to find the people from the mountain villages, nor did he tell them everything about it.
Sun Wukong is no longer the simple and kind little monkey he used to be. Although he cannot be said to be skillful in human nature after such a long period of training, he can still figure out a lot of things.
The fact that those mountain people can survive here is at least proves that the evil spirit who cannibalizes on the mountain has no idea about them.
And even if you tell them, what can they do?
Walk?
Where to go?
And then these mountain people will definitely show their strengths, so this is also a danger for them.
As for Xiao Cui’s affairs, Sun Wukong no longer dared to think about it carefully. This is almost an open matter.
He didn't dare to tell the child the truth. Such a truth was really cruel!
............
Chen Lin now feels that this movie is like "The Travels of Sun Wukong". It seems that there is no point in it, but it makes him unable to stop watching it.
Although we have been telling the process of Sun Wukong's apprenticeship, these processes are exposing the dark side of human nature.
At this moment, Chen Lin thought of his predictions in his work. He predicted that Xu Shi would not change himself this time, and would still follow his previous style, and the content would be more depressing.
At that time, many people did not agree with this view. Although the name of the movie is "Dark Journey to the West", many people think that myth is still the focus of the movie, and the content should be much better than the previous movies and will not be so depressing.
But after Chen Lin at this moment, this movie is not only not easier than the previous movies Xu Shi, but is more depressing.
This kind of depression was actually revealed from the beginning of the movie, but at that time, everyone was attracted by the exquisite and grand special effects, and they had much less thought on the plot.
However, as the movie plays longer, everyone's thoughts gradually began to be included in the plot from the perspective of special effects.
Only then did everyone feel the depressing style unique to Xu Shi’s movies.
Although this movie is a mythical story as a whole, it is also adapted from "Journey to the West".
But if you think about it carefully, what is revealed is chilling.
Facts have proved that Xu Shi is still the same Xu Shi, and he has not changed his style due to changes in the subject matter.
