The whole film is more than two hours long, which is absolutely long. What is rare is that the director uses three story lines, the protagonist defends Kim so-hong in the underworld, and the investigation of his death is a subline;

Resolving grievances and Li Dechun's summoning of Xu Sanchun in the yang world are the second subline;

The protagonist, the grievance and Li Dechun's past life are the third and the main line of this film. The three threads echo each other, weaving the complex relationship between the characters of the three worlds: the human world, the underworld, and the family gods.

The protagonist escorts Kim so-hong to the underworld for trial and vigorously defends his unjust death. In this subline, we know that the protagonist has lived for thousands of years with the memories of his past life, and told the story of his past life in the process of breaking through the underworld and fighting monsters.

At the same time, Xie Grievance and Li Dechun were sent to the yang world to carry out the task of receiving Xu Sanchun to the underworld, and the second side line was launched.

In the yang world, the two met the god of creation who guarded Xu Sanchun, and found that they knew them thousands of years ago, but the memories of their previous lives were erased. Under the questioning of the two, the creation god told the story of their past life.

In the interlude of the two sub-lines, the main line of the protagonist, the grievance and the story of Li Dechun's past life is introduced. The god of creation plays a role in the film. He is the narrator of the story of his past life, and he is also the clue that connects the two worlds of yin and yang.

The first two-thirds of the plot is devoted to the relationships and emotional entanglements between the characters, resulting in a slightly stiff switch between the three story lines. The multi-line narrative is not easy to perform, and it is difficult to shoot brilliantly. The story of the previous life takes place during the war between Goryeo and the Jurchens, and the relationship between the protagonist, the grievance line, and Li Dechun follows a typical Korean routine.

During the filming process, the manga did not explain the protagonist's past life, and the director changed the protagonist to the general of Goryeo, the eldest brother who resolved the grievances, and finally killed his younger brother out of jealousy. Complicating the relationship between the members of the Shadow Squad. Such a setting increases the watchability of the movie, and guides the audience to analyze the plot through different story lines, which is still very motivating to the audience.

Listen to the screenwriter's introduction When filming the first part, the concept of the cinematic universe was already conceived. Small details and foreshadowing all reveal ambition. In the first part, Jin Xiuhong is unwilling to return to Yin Cha because of his unjust death, and turns into a ghost and fights with the protagonist in a residential area, and they pass by an old man.

Later, the old man met the protagonist in the hospital, and he was Xu Sanchun, who became the god of creation in the second part.

This kind of foreshadowing also has a vein to resolve grievances, his weapon is a double knife, and he is an absolute output player in the Yin Difference Squad. And the relationship between him and the protagonist in the underworld is almost brotherly. These qualities are all foreshadowing for the second part of the story of the past life of the two.

In his previous life, the protagonist inherited his father's business and became a general, and the white wolf who was most feared by the Jurchen people was the most feared by the Jurchen people, with superb knife skills, brave and good at fighting, and he used double knives.

There are even two easter eggs at the end of the second part, the first is that Jin Xiuhong is expected to become the new subordinate of King Yama, and the second easter egg explains the true identity of King Yama.

It can be said that it is the end of the second series and the beginning of a new chapter. Whether it is details or easter eggs, they are all integrated on the basis of the idea of serializing the film.

The original comic was written by Zhou Haoyu, and the work was completed in August. There are three seasons, which are God's judgment, the god of the yang, and the turn of the yin. Build a huge world of ghosts and gods, where the three realms are interconnected, but they also have their own rules and ecosystems. Each character is flesh and blood, with a unique soul and character.

There are far more characters in the original book than in the movie, for example, in the original book, King Yama's boss is King Dabie. In the movie, King Yama is the supreme leader of the underworld, and the family god system not only has the god of creation, but also the god of the stove, the god of the toilet, the god of the door and other gods, their past and present lives are mentioned.

The director purposefully chooses the original story, the comic has no time constraints, each character can be depicted, and the relationship between the characters can also be told in an ambush.

However, due to the time limit of the movie, it is inevitable to consider how to capture the hearts of the audience in a short period of time and take its essence.

Through the "Walking with God" series, it can be seen that Korean manga movies are gradually moving closer to Hollywood, and they want to create a localized and going out movie universe.

Hollywood Marvel has brought superheroes to the world, relying on the universality of their content, which is easily accepted by audiences of all cultural backgrounds. At the same time, the film adaptation retains the core values of the original book and does not stand up to real life.

The same is true for this series, which is closely centered on the original book from the perspective of the story. The setting of the underworld and the divine realm is always far away from the audience, so the realism element is added to make the film more down-to-earth.

For example, the old house where Xu Sanchun had lived all his life in the sun was occupied by real estate developers, and the gangsters violently drove him away; Cheng Zaoshen used Xu Sanchun's savings to buy funds and stocks, but as a result, he did not make money but lost money when he caught up with the international economic slump. These plots are also traceable in the present.

What Marvel and the "Walking with God" series have in common is the zero-threshold three-view output, and with the blessing of special effects stars and other elements, it is easy to be recognized by the audience.

However, the two movie universes are still quite different, and they are related to the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. The Marvel series is happy and bold, the fate of the characters is up and down, and they can sprinkle sugar and dare to abuse their hearts.

"Walking with God" is restrained and restrained, although it talks about the world of ghosts and gods, but the characters' seven emotions and six desires rely on reality, and they do not try to be vigorous emotionally, but only seek a long stream. One strives to save the world, and the other redeems himself. Big love and small family can bring emotional impact and resonance to the audience in some aspects.

The usual plot setting of Korean movies is the battle scene between the Goryeo and Jurchen tribes, which seems to have never been a big deal in Ding Cheng's eyes, at most a small border dispute.

From the perspective of normal Chinese people, Monday is a thing, the unity of the Qin king is a thing, the Han Dynasty's westward expansion is a thing, the Tang and Song dynasties are all comfortable, the Yuan is a big presumptuous, the Ming Dynasty is a big development, and the others are not a matter at all.

The matter between Jurchen and Goryeo is almost a small episode in a movie, a small rhythm in an interlude, which has never been considered the mainstream.

But when it comes to South Korea's own description, it becomes a big thing that destroys the world, and this is indeed the ass that determines the vision.

Why is there always such a small amount of place as an exception?

Why can the peninsula always be absent from the great historical evolution of China?

And then an independent posture to guard?

In fact, it is the desperate battle between real swords and real guns, blood and flesh and real pragmatic strategies that make this small area able to get out of it.

When there is conquest, you will resist, even if you die, you must resist, this is one, and the other is pragmatic, the minister will pay tribute as a junior brother, and he will be a mountain king.
