" New Legend of White Snake " is undoubtedly a classic in the hearts of many post-70s and post-80s viewers, but the ending of this drama has always been controversial. The main content of the controversy is that this seemingly successful ending makes many people feel a little uncomfortable.
Xu Shilin Marry her cousin
Many film and television dramas often arrange a big marriage in order to make the plot look very smooth, so that lovers can finally get married. The ending of "The Legend of the New White Snake" is no exception.
At the last moment of the whole play, Xu Shilin married Li *lian (because the system determined that this name was an uncivilized term, he could only use "*" instead of the middle word). In this wedding, Li Gongfu The couple and the White Snake couple looked at the couple below with a smile on their faces as they got married. There was no doubt that at this moment, the four parents on the seat were extremely relieved, and Li *lian, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, must be happy in her heart.
Where can I get Xu Shilin? Where is Qi Baoshan ? Will the two of them think this ending is a perfect one?
Xu Shilin was raised by Li Gongfu and his wife as their biological sons since childhood. It was not until he became an adult that he realized that the "parents" he had called for nearly twenty years were actually his aunt and uncle, and his "little sister" was actually his cousin, and this cousin was also his fiancée.
If Xu Shilin knew all this at the age when he was not in love, perhaps he would adjust his thoughts in time and get along with Li * Lian with another mentality, and perhaps he would also develop feelings beyond family affection.
Unfortunately, when Xu Shilin knew about this, he had already developed a deep affection for another woman, which was Hu Meiniang .
Many people criticized Hu Meiniang for using the appearance of Bai Suzhen to talk about love with Bai Suzhen's son, but this did not prevent Hu Meiniang from being infatuated with Xu Shilin.
Hu Meiniang is the humblest among all the monsters in the play. She is not very good at Taoism and has no backing. But even when Xu Shilin is in danger, she dares to stand up without hesitation to challenge the powerful King Jinba and sacrifice her life for it.
The stories between Xu Shilin and Hu Meiniang are not as many as those between Bai Snake and Xu Xian and , but the relationship between the two is not necessarily worse than that between Bai Snake and Xu Xian.
When White Snake was suppressed under Leifeng Tower, Xu Xian resolutely cut off the distracting thoughts of the world and ignored their own sons. After Hu Meiniang died, Xu Shilin's mood might be similar to Xu Xian who lost Bai Suzhen back then.
Let Xu Shilin, who is in this state of mind, marry Li *lian, who has always been regarded as his own sister. Will such a feudal arranged marriage really be happy?
In addition, after Xu Shilin and Li *lian get married, what attitude should they face Qi Baoshan?
Qi Baoshan is Xu Shilin's best friend, and he also falls in love with Li *lian at first sight.
For the good brother Xu Shilin, an ordinary mortal in Qi Baoshan fought against King Jinba Dharma. For the sake of Li *lian, the sweetheart, Qi Baoshan refused the proposal of the daughter of the escort agency.
result in the end, Qi Baoshan could only watch his good brother and his sweetheart get married. Such an ending is not only unfair to Qi Baoshan, it is simply too cruel.
Fahai Becoming an Immortal
Another difficult plot is that Fahai actually became an Immortal when the ending of "The Legend of the New White Snake".
The character Fahai has never done good things since he appeared. Originally, Bai Suzhen came to Xu Xian to repay her kindness with God's permission. This has been shown in the first episode of the beginning, so the god of wealth, door god, Antarctic Immortal Weng and other gods of all sizes would give Bai Suzhen a green light when she encountered difficulties.
Fahai naturally knew about this. In the play, he made things difficult for him everywhere, Bai Suzhen was just to avenge his personal grudges, but when Xu Xian asked him if he had a personal grudge with Bai Suzhen, he seemed hypocritical and insisted that there was no.
In fact, when it comes to the grudge between Fahai and Bai Suzhen, Fahai took the first move at the beginning. He grabbed Bai Suzhen to get Bai Suzhen's life. In order to revenge, Bai Suzhen just stole one of his elixirs, which made him come out of the mountain five hundred years later. In this comparison, Bai Suzhen is not too much.
Ko Fahai doesn't think so. After he became a disciple, his main purpose of coming to the mortal world was to seek revenge on Bai Suzhen. In order to allow himself to accept Bai Suzhen with justification, he came up with various dirty methods, and even forced Bai Suzhen to flood the golden mountain and make life suffer.
In addition, if Fahai really came to the mortal world to collect monsters, even if he was a little harsh with Bai Suzhen, it would not make people think that he was so hateful. But in fact, except for Bai Suzhen, Fahai did not care about any other monsters. For example, the toad mirror, the centipede demon, and later the King of Jinba were all demons who harmed humans and monsters. Moreover, the places where these monsters did evil were not far from Fahai, but Fahai ignored them at all and let them endanger the human world.
So from beginning to end, Fahai is an absolute bad guy, but just such a hypocritical bad guy, he finally attained Taoism and ascended to heaven. Such an ending is really hard to accept.
In addition to Fahai, Liang Xiangguo also did all the bad things and ended up with a good ending. Therefore, the ending of the drama "The Legend of the White Snake" seems to be a lively reunion, but in fact it is very heartbreaking.
