Appreciation of Stephen Chow's films: A Chinese Odyssey-Moonlight Box

Moonlight Box on a Chinese Odyssey is a classic nonsense comedy produced by Stephen Chow Caixing Film Company on 1994. This film is based on Wu Cheng'en's ghost novel The Journey to the West. This film is the first in the series A Chinese Odyssey, directed by Liu Zhenwei, written by Ji 'an, produced by Stephen Chow and starring Stephen Chow, Karen Mok, Ng Man Tat and Lan Jieying.

This movie, with a score of 9.0, is second only to A Chinese Odyssey-The Wedding of the Great Sage. The film mainly tells the story that Tang Sanzang changed his life in order to save Wukong and another person. Five hundred years later, the Supreme Treasure was reincarnated as Wukong, just a mountain thief and bandit who took a group of brothers to rob the house. However, because the Tang Priest wanted to live in this world, he attracted three goblins, Spider Spirit, Bai and Niu, to eat Tang Priest's meat.

The content of the story is not very complicated, but through the performances of actors from all walks of life and the superb skills of screenwriters, the whole movie is reversed again and again, which is wonderful and of course full of jokes.

In fact, there are many jokes in this movie. If you understand each conversation carefully, you will find it very interesting. Conversation between Tang Priest and Goddess Guanyin and Wukong (Moonlight Box smashed flowers and plants, diamond ring size is just an idea, etc. ), at the beginning of the performance of Seven Wounded Boxing in Supreme Treasure, a group of mountain thieves led by Supreme Treasure tried to murder Spider Essence and Bai into two beautiful women. There are also Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi.

I'm here to say a few more words about a few jokes. There are many others, such as reversal, surprise, self-mockery, mutual abuse and so on.

A. The Supreme Treasure got the bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi old again, three times, there is really no way, so we have to fight with a bright knife. Of course, because they can't see, all the gangs only wear paper skirts (probably from the idea of hula dancing). The scene is extremely funny, the sovereign treasure endured the pain, and there are two beautiful women. It's really interesting. All the gangs put their righteousness above their family.

B. When the Thirty Niangs (Spider Genie) used the infatuation solution on Mr. Zhong again, Mr. Zhong (in fact, he already knew that Mr. Zhong was a pig) shuddered. People who may not have seen this film will never think of born this way, Tang Sanzang. Of course, this is ridiculous and full of nonsense. But at that time, as far as this film was concerned, it was really the only way to get Tang Priest born. I have to admire the brain hole and courage of the screenwriter. At the same time, the empress of Spring 30 makes the second husband (father) unable to admit that he is the child's wet nurse (how can the key man be a wet nurse? ). "We don't say, how can children know that men can't be wet nurses?"

C. The third funny scene is that Supreme Treasure used the Moonlight Box to travel back and forth between the cave and the cave where Bai Jingjing committed suicide for many times in order to save Bai Jingjing (1994, in fact, it was quite strange to cross at that time, and the Moonlight Box was actually a prop to cross), including many conversations between Supreme Treasure and the second husband. The funniest thing is that the second husband ran outside the cave to wait for his wife (Spring Thirty Niangs) to come out. Seeing the Supreme Treasure crossing again and again (it should be four times), I said, "Ah, it's ascended to heaven." "Ah, it's ascended to heaven again. Why should I say it again?" "Shit, it's ascended to heaven again." "Dear, come out with Niu Wangmo and meet God." It really made my stomach ache.

Of course, I can't express such a funny scene and dialogue clearly in this sentence. I'll just mention a few words. I can recall what I have seen, and I can really look for what I have never seen. If you don't laugh, I lose.

Of course, if a movie is just funny, it may not be very popular. A good movie must have the word affection, whether it is love, affection, friendship and so on. At least you have to have it and execute it well, or it is appropriate. Next, I will talk about my feelings about this film on the following points.

A. The brotherly relationship between the Supreme Treasure and his gang, although a mob, shows a little affection between them. "Don't kill my brother"-Supreme Treasure, "Master, we're coming to save you"-Bandit, "The blind man has been blind all his life, and the most discerning person is to follow Master"-the blind man.

B. The love story between Supreme Treasure and Bai Jingjing. Of course, this is a continuation of the love between the Monkey King (not reincarnation) and Bai Jingjing. Supreme Bao fell in love with Bai Jingjing at first sight (probably because of his previous life). Although he didn't know he was a demon, he changed his appearance again and again for her. In order to save her, he begged Spider Essence for help and used the Moonlight Box repeatedly, hoping to save Jingjing. "Because I don't want you to think of another person when you see me." "Either day or night, I will always be with you from today." On the contrary, Bai Jingjing mistook the Supreme Treasure for the Monkey King (in fact, it was the Monkey King, but he didn't fully wake up and didn't know what happened before) and always wanted to make up with the Monkey King. It's no use being unhappy and living forever. I'll kill you if you're not the Monkey King. Finally, Bai Jingjing thought that the Supreme Treasure had left her again, deceived her into committing suicide and was saved by the Supreme Treasure who came back from the Moonlight Box. When the two sides discussed the reasons for killing and not killing, the Supreme Treasure flashed the wooden expression of Bai Jingjing who fell at the top of the mountain at that time, and fully believed that the Supreme Treasure had not lied to her.

C. The love between Chunsanniang and Erdangjia (Pig Bajie) is of course a sudden love that neither side wants, and no one thought of it. Here, I have to admire the cast, except that Bai and the Monkey King are paired, Spider Essence and Pig Bajie are actually paired again, and there is a child named. It's not important to live forever, what's important is to live a good life and raise your children. Although this love is so sudden and absurd, Chunsanniang and "Madam, Xianggong" are finally called by both sides.

D finally, in order to stop the cow, Bai Jingjing and Chunsanniang resisted the cow in the cave. One said "Supreme Treasure, See you in the afterlife" and the other said "Xianggong". The bridge where the beauty saved the bear is also a good tear.

These are just some jokes and tears that I can think of when I watch this movie. In fact, there are many others worth seeing, thinking, talking and laughing about.

Looking at the whole movie, more is to make some preparations and introductions for his second Great Sage's wedding, but it also explains some truth. The two goblins were originally looking for the Supreme Treasure to eat the Tang monk's meat. As a result, they sacrificed themselves because of some feelings and some love, and saved the Supreme Treasure and Sir Zhong. A gangster, a gangster who lives by robbery, how can he change his mind and fully understand, repent and sacrifice himself to follow Tang Sanzang to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures? Man and demon are actually the love between demon and demon, the choice between eternal life and unhappiness, and so on. The movie still wants to express some meanings, and the key is whether we can get these.

Well, a Chinese Odyssey-Moonlight Box is enough. If you have anything to say, please leave a message and welcome to discuss. Maybe we will find more interesting and valuable things.
