Hello everyone, I am Qingqing, and I am very happy to answer this question here.
As a sequel to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", in the first episode, Tang Sanzang influenced the Monkey King who killed Miss Duan and accepted him as his disciple. After that, he took Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng with him. A group of four people embarked on a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. The journey was dangerous and dangerous, and they had to slay demons and demons. The four masters and disciples also experienced their own growth and changes in the process of obtaining Buddhist scriptures. Like the previous part, at the beginning of the movie, the "black fairy tale" style of the entire film that satirizes reality has been established. In Xuanzang's dream, his body became extremely huge, everything around him was very small, and he came to Lilliput. The dream Xuanzang had was one of magical realism. After waking up, Xuanzang was so hungry that he begged the villagers for alms. Not only was he unsuccessful, but the villagers gathered to laugh at him while watching the play. As the saying goes, actors are ruthless, but nowadays the most ruthless people are often the audience.
When Sun Wukong showed his true strength and destroyed the village, the villagers were so violent that they wanted to give their lives to worship Xuanzang. There are beggars on the street and they ignore them and greet the thugs. Does this count as "Lilliput"? In Stephen Chow's two "Journey to the West" films, the group he loves most is the melon-eaters. In "Subduing the Demon", the crowd was fooled at the beginning. Later, the master and his disciples entered the country of monks and saw that the people were deceived by Jiugong Zhenren's inferior tricks. Le Pen said in the book "The Crowd": "As soon as a person joins a group, his IQ is seriously reduced. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong and use their IQ in exchange for a sense of belonging that makes people feel safe." ?
Xuan Zang studied the scriptures in order to solve the ignorance of all living beings. But Xuanzang was not perfect. In "Conquering the Demons", he only understood "big love and small love". In the face of these ordinary movies nowadays, this movie is definitely acceptable. When Westward Journey came out, it was very poor at the box office, but later it became a classic; this movie may also go through such a process. This is a film that deserves interpretation. In fact, after you actually watch it a few times, you will find that this is not just a movie, but also a classic, youth, and love for Mr. Star.
