Do you think Angie Chiu's version of the legend of the new White Snake is serious?

"The Legend of the New White Snake" may be the most delicious TV series in the world, and Sister Zhao in it is even more shocked. Basically, every beauty contest is the first beauty in ancient costume, and it has just been announced to the world. But I'm always dissatisfied with that TV play, and I always feel the need to pull it out for a walk. Ala Ala, I didn't mean to belittle Sister Zhao. Please don't get angry. The following is just a family statement. Let's relax on major festivals.

If you watch it carefully, you will find that in this TV series, White Snake did not fall in love with Xu Xian first, but married him under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva to repay her kindness. Therefore, after repaying her kindness, the white snake who gave birth to the child can't stay any longer and must leave her husband and children (strangely, she left the child as soon as she left, no matter what kind of gratitude? ), because of this, the reluctance of the white snake attracted the "retribution" of the town under the Leifeng Tower.

In the middle pile, you can sing and I won't be wordy. At the end of the story, the white snake was rescued outside the tower and finally the husband and wife reunited. At the end of the article, she is still with Xu Xian, Xiaoqing and Fahai (what! ! ! ) ascend to heaven together and become another moral archway engraved in the mythical sky of our country. ...

What I want to mention in particular is Xiaoqing's love story, a very sad tragedy. Why can White Snake combine with Xu Xian, but Xiaoqing can't? The explanation given to us in the play is that the practice of Bai Niangzi is higher than that of Xiaoqing. The most important thing is that this is God's will. Guanyin told her to repay her kindness, and she obeyed God's will to complete the glorious task! Xiaoqing can't help falling in love with mortals, but this is a crime against dogma and will be punished. ...

I sell cakes! I see! !

Be sure to pay attention to the word "karma", because the whole play seems to be telling a story of karma. Listen to God, God told you to love you, and you have to love if you don't love. I told you to go home when you were done. You can't listen. Fahai is doing justice for heaven, so he turned against all the negative images of "extreme bitch" and became a respected Taoist ... We don't have to have our own will, just listen to God's arrangement, and everything is predestined ... Wait a minute, do we really like this story?

Just now, I saw a netizen retelling a story with endless aftertaste, which contained more stale breath than I listed. What's more, he also mentioned Lu Xun's article "On the Collapse of Leifeng Pagoda" and laughed at Lu Xun's antics of putting everything on the line against feudalism. But unfortunately, even before Lu Xun was born, the thief bald in Fahai didn't have many fans. No one thought that he was doing justice for heaven and doing harm for the people, and everyone sympathized with what happened to White Snake.

In the final analysis, the reason why the legend of the White Snake has such great vitality is because it largely reflects the harm and bondage of the so-called orthodox morality to human nature, which seems to be on the line, but it is actually a fact.

Let's start with the original version of White Snake. In that story, the white snake and the green snake are more like snakes than human nature, which embodies a vivid and flesh-and-blood way of life beyond orthodox morality. White Snake chased Xu Xian not because Guanyin taught him how to do it, but because she loved him! She insists on Xu Xian, what she wants is a real person's qualification! To say who taught her and did what she wanted to do is to completely reverse the whole story.

In the original version, White Snake always said to Xu Xian, "If you dare to betray me, I will teach you! Something like # * (() #) (Don't type it out, so as not to scare Zhao Jie's loyal supporters) is very different from the gentle, virtuous, considerate and perfect White Snake in the TV series. In the original, she is more like an excellent fireworks woman. I'm not here to belittle her. In fact, the ancient fireworks woman was not bound by feudal orthodoxy, but was able to live according to her own will, more like a real person. If I don't discuss this topic in depth, orthodox people will scold me to death.

Therefore, my greatest hostility to The Legend of the New White Snake is that it goes against the main idea of the original work, turning a tragedy about how love and humanity were strangled in the typical orthodox environment of China into another moral sermon that preaches what goes around comes around and what goes around comes around. The original thrilling struggle experience was replaced by a set of demonstration examples about karma; It turned out that the white snake who dared to love and hate and lived according to her own will was gone, and it was replaced by a perfect white lady who didn't look like a living person. To tell the truth, the first time I saw Zhao Jie's dress, I thought she was playing Guanyin. Although beauty is beautiful, it is tasteless, which has become another typical example of shaping a very successful feudal lady.

Why is the word "new" more advanced, and the story more "backward"?

I don't object to adapting the original, but at least we should keep the highlights and essence of the original. This time, just discard its essence and discard its dross. The most profound connotation of The Legend of the White Snake was abandoned, but a set of its deadly enemies was added, and it was transformed into a reader of feudal numerology and feudal morality. Isn't this great?

Sometimes I wonder if I am too sensitive. A TV series is not so online. I like watching it, too. After all, Zhao Jie is not generally beautiful, and the songs are also very nice, and the stunts were quite sensational at that time. However, it is not enough for any cultural product to look good on the surface. What did it say in the deepest part of our hearts, and what moved us? Ten years later, we recall what she left us, except the shock of the first impression at that time. This is the basis for it to become an excellent work. Just like Zhang's Hero, the superficial luxury can't cover up the inner filth and dirtiness, and opening the eyes for the tyrant can only attract everyone's reviling and ridicule.

I can't help but think of another film and television work about the legend of the white snake, Tsui Hark's Green Snake, which is my favorite. Inside, the white snake and the green snake have become the original appearance again, with charming eyes and slender waist, beautiful but with the evil of snakes. Although the characters have changed greatly (Fahai has become a handsome guy? ), but there you can see the true colors of the story, loyalty and temptation, morality and humanity. Everyone is struggling, confused, struggling, and finally intertwined into a gorgeous "Mohologa", as unpredictable and beautiful as Sanskrit.

The Green Snake is not perfect, and the big battle at the end is like a joke, but its imperfection is beautiful, showing the infinite possibilities of development. The Legend of the New White Snake is perfect among its kind, a perfect moral sermon story, but sometimes perfection also means boredom and ending. I'm just curious about this classic full of feudalism and nostalgia. Those children about my age, looking back at the classic, will they be a little disdainful and disapprove of its triteness besides being moved by her beauty and morality?
