Is Hell Earthly?

Is there hell on earth?

In fact, it seems to be the same thing, the hell portrayed in the movie is as vivid and real, as real as Tang Seng went to the Buddha and was asked for benefits by his followers, where there is hell, the world is hell.

According to this logic, it is easy to understand why the king of Yama has to do things according to the laws and regulations of hell, and he himself is not happy to follow the regulations.

The rank is the same as not being humble or arrogant in hell, you have to kneel when you see the boss, no matter how advanced and supernatural you are, you still have to kneel, you have to observe your words and looks, say the right thing at the right time, and you may not be able to finish the words if you interject, this is actually exactly the same as the world, the hierarchy is so strict, you can't tolerate any rudeness.

But correspondingly, there is suppression, there is resistance to suppression, people can be neither humble nor arrogant even in hell, I just kneel, I can also choose to cross my waist with both hands, be a person who has nothing to do, I can despise you, you don't let me speak, I can do the same facial expressions, don't let me say, I pout my lips to express my opposition, in fact, people's humility and arrogance are also very real.

In Ding Cheng's eyes, the protagonist Jiang Lin committed very serious crimes, laziness, lies, injustice, betrayal, violence, murder, and family. However, instead of being judged, he became a ghost, and as long as he exceeded 49 dead people, he could erase his memories and reincarnate according to his wishes?

It seems to be a very good deal, but in fact, the hell that King Yama let him suffer is the most cruel Abi Hell outside of the Seven Hells!

There is no time, there is no space, and there is no boundary, so the hell is also called the infernal hell.

Although Jiang Lin is a ghost and seems to come and go freely, from the moment Yama let him keep his memory, he is destined to suffer in his heart for a thousand years.

The images of his father's desperate plea for help, his heartless turn, and his mother's heart-rending cry will torture his heart day and night, and in the process of surpassing the dead, as long as it involves the hells of "lies", "betrayal", "murder" and "family", the pain of that snowy night will emerge.

And what makes him most painful is that he will never be able to ask for forgiveness, and he will never be able to seek liberation, when the 49 dead will be enough, no one knows, even if they are nobles, they are all facing the obstruction of judges and the seven hells, let alone ordinary people.

So a thousand years later, when he saw that Lieutenant Park also made a big mistake because of a mistake, he saw himself who was determined on that snowy night. The difference is that this time there is an opportunity to prevent another tragedy from happening.

So on the surface, he is helping Kim so Hong, but in fact, he is helping Lieutenant Park, and he is also making a confession for himself that is a thousand years late. And that monologue also presents the dark line of the movie in front of the audience: father's love is like a mountain.

The director uses two stories to show father's love, the first is to create a god and Hyundong, although he is not related by blood, but the role he plays is his father, and the starting point of doing things is actually for Hyundong.

Investing, painting, and protecting the family, just like our impression of the father, he may not be very rich, he may not dress very tastefully, and even a little raunchy, but he will carry the whole family silently, leave the best to the child, and use his tall body to shelter the child from the wind and rain.

He is what the family needs him to be. The creation of God is embodied in the form of a father.

The second is King Yama and Jiang Lin, King Yama's previous life was actually Jiang Lin's father, and after being killed by his son, he took over the throne of Yama.

In the final analysis, Jiang Wenzhi is here to atone for his sins. If you don't teach, it's your father's fault. As an excellent general, he knew that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and he had not properly guided Jiang Lin, so that jealousy, greed for merit, and the pursuit of fame and fortune filled his son's heart, which finally led to a tragedy.

So he took over the throne of Yama and turned his son into a ghost. It is not only punishing Jiang Lin for the crime of killing his father, but also fulfilling the last responsibility of a father, hoping that after his son becomes a ghost, he will see all the brilliant world, investigate the greed, hatred, jealousy and anger of the year, and sincerely repent.

What father in the world doesn't love his children?

If it weren't for the monstrous criminals, who would have let his son atone for his sins for a thousand years with his memory, looking at the two people around him every day, constantly recalling the tragic past, as if living in an infernal hell?

Yama embodies the god of the father!

Therefore, from the perspective of the theme, the dark line of the second part is the father's love, which corresponds to the mother's love in the first part, and it is explained from the two aspects of form and god, which is more successful and profound.

Of course, there are also many failures, and in the first part, the noble man is the core character who promotes the development of the story. In the second part, the mystery of the past life of the Yin Cha trio is the booster of the development of the film.

On the one hand, because the cause of Kim so Hong's death has been clearly shown to the audience in the first part, coupled with the definition of a noble person given at the beginning of the movie, it has also alleviated a lot of doubts about how to defend Kim so Hong.

So the director chose a trio with a mysterious background to bring the rhythm of the whole play, which is understandable, but the price of doing so is also huge.

Since the focus of the movie is on the past life of Yin Jiao, it is inevitable that it will weaken into the two lines of Cheng Zao Shen and Kim so Hong, and the story of Cheng Zao God and Hyun Dong's family has become a booster for the service of relieving grievances and Li Dechun, losing the rhythm that originally belonged to him, and the fatherly love of Cheng Zao God and Hyun Dong cannot show the due touch.

And Kim so Hong's road to trial has become Jiang Lin's memory road, poor Mr. Kim can only highlight his sense of existence through frequent complaints, and even summon dinosaurs to relieve boredom.

The director is unwilling to give up these two lines, so the memories of the trio must be fragmented and implanted into these two lines, and as soon as the audience sees a little emotional reaction, the director cuts the camera back to reality, and as soon as there is a little emotional reaction, the director cuts back to reality.

What's more terrible is that the tone of reality is joy, on one side is to tease and solve grievances + leeks become gods, and on the other side is the spit spit Kim so Hong, there have always been laughs. In the story of the previous life, the audience's emotions could not be brewed at all.

even suspense for the sake of suspense, deliberately not telling the audience that the grievance is Jiang Lin's younger brother, but the audience with a little experience in watching movies will silently watch the director pretend to be B.

In most cases, multi-line narratives intersect to accentuate the drama. There is no need to narrate like this for the sake of suspense. The fragmentation of memory fragments eventually led directly to the weakening of the characteristics of the trio's past life characters, symbolizing the characters who should be as vivid as this life, and dismembering a good past life story.

It has become the biggest failure of the whole film!
