"Spoiler included" Green Snake robbed it: Sexually turned to Lily, who is it to please?

On July 23, the domestic animated film "White Snake 2: The Tribulation of the Green Snake" was finally released. As of July 29, the film has reached a cumulative box office of 282 million. Among the sisters of Qing and White, I have always liked the role of Xiao Qing, and for this reason, my expectations for this sequel are actually higher than those of the previous one, and this animation has indeed lived up to my expectations.

(The spoiler below, please watch carefully)

The previous work "White Snake: Origin" is another familiar story of "spanspan" that we are familiar with. "Snake Catcher" as the background, fictionalized the previous life of Xu Xian- Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan and Xiao Bai were secretly in love due to various coincidences. For Xiao Bai, Xu Xuan even did not hesitate to become a demon. Although he did not accompany him in this life, but at the end of the story, the two came to West Lake Broken Bridge and became that song. "Past and This Life" sounded, and we all know that Xu Xian in this life will reconnect with Xiao Bai. And Xiaobai’s phrase "No matter where he is in the world, no matter what he looks like, no matter if he remembers me or not, I will find him, because I remember!" It is also very touching...

is a follow-up to "The Legend of the White Snake". At the beginning, it directly enters the plot of Shui Man Jinshan. The child has been born, and Xu Xian has already become a monk. He is only a promise, not like the young man who dared to love and dare to act; Xiao Bai Mana Nothing, the hairpin broke, and Fahai Town was under Leifeng Tower; Xiaoqing was eager to avenge her sister, but was also not against Fahai and was pushed down from Shura City. As Xiaoqing fell into the city of Shura, a place that only those who were still obsessed could enter, the formal plot began slowly...

First of all,From the screen, "White Snake 2: The Tribulation of the Green Snake" can be said to be impeccable. The beginning of Shui Jinshan, and Qingbai and Fahai's fighting method are good enough, but to be honest, this is not a surprise, after all, there have been antiquity battle scenes that are not lost in the previous work. After this, the real surprise lies.

is different from the previous work. In addition to the ancient elements, this work also contains elements similar to the wasteland setting and cyberpunk , regardless of the appearance of the characters or the depiction of the scene. There is nothing new.

The scenes of the four tribulations of wind, fire, water and air are also very shocking. " The Book of Mountains and Seas" appears on the big screen along with the myths of the creatures on the screen. The special effects and sound effects, which can be called the top level in China, bring unparalleled pressure and deterrence, how can a "cool" word be a word.

When the entanglement between the sea and Xiaoqing reaches its climax, the story reaches its peak in the year 1 The pinnacle of beauty on the screen. The style of ink painting is amazing. What's rare is that the 3D rendering model is not obtrusive. Between movement and static, colors collide, and the fight between Xiaoqing’s green snake and Fahai’s phoenix makes people unable to help but suck. Take a breath-it's really beautiful (and inexplicably so astringent).

second,Compared with her sister, Xiaoqing, the protagonist this time, was originally a more lively and hot image. Whether it is a movie or a previous work, her dress will be less "fairy". In this part, Xiaoqing simply put on a modern outfit, high ponytail + navel tube top + overalls + Martin boots, like an urban hot girl. For such a change, some people will say that they have lost the classical charm of the previous work, and put together a piece of cake to end. But for me, it doesn't have a sense of beauty. The fairy-like Xiaobai in the previous work is naturally a kind of beauty, and the saucy and spicy Xiaoqing here is also another kind of beauty.

(The hot girl Xiaoqing, who didn’t want to say "sister give Jihui", although I didn’t expect it was actually given to Jihui by "sister"...)

, There are also a lot of novel settings in this work. For example, the previously mentioned wasteland setting and cyberpunk, and even some elements of restraint, these elements are intertwined with Xiaoqing’s adventures, as if the game map is opened one by one to explore, bringing the audience a dizzying sight. visual feast.

For me personally, the structure of " ouroboros " in the city of Shura is like a symbol of "fate" and "reincarnation", in line with the obsession of the characters in the city and the chaos of uncertain time. It's really interesting.

However, despite the beauty of the screen, this game still has some common problems with light-following animation.

is most concerned about the character setting and logic issues.

In the last "White Snake: Origin", the love between Xu Xuan and Xiaobai was once said to have been "aroused by sex". Indeed, what Xu Xuan thinks of Xiao Bai begins with his appearance and love at first sight, and Xiao Bai does not seem to love Xu Xuan much.It seems that gratitude is more than love, and it seems that the break-up cannon is also particularly inexplicable. How the two got into the situation of "madness for love", in fact, did not make a perfect foreshadowing. And several villains, such as Guo Shi, etc., are also particularly face-faced, and their behavior is not too logical, just doing bad things for the sake of doing bad things.

In this part, the chase still failed to overcome this problem.

Several main characters appearing in the city of Asura-the early npc grandson girl in the novice village, the powerful but greasy Sima official, the deadly rival of the Sima official, the tauren gang leader, and the two Raksha tribes who led separately And bull head horse noodles-they are all like the kind of necessary npc for the game, the role is to guide the protagonist to do tasks.

Let’s talk about the grandson girl. When Xiaoqing fell into Shura City, she lost her demon power and almost died. It was this girl who saved her and introduced the general settings of Shura City to her and the audience. Jiao Xiaoqing has mastered some fairly modern knowledge-such as computers, drag racing and thermal weapons. The two depend on each other in the chaotic, mixed, and dangerous Shura City in this era. Unfortunately, just like players always go out of the Novice Village, Xiaoqing can't stay under the blessing of someone. The map is gradually opened, and the grandchildren who led Xiaoqing through the whole novice tutorial are naturally like most early NPCs. The same...

(such as the "Sword Spirit" brother...)

The appearance of the Sima official is to hug the left and the right, plus the English subtitles Simon and " The title of "Guanren" is hard not to remind people of another classic swinger in Chinese classical literature, "Daguanren"... and his mission in this film is to temporarily protect Xiaoqing and through his own actions. In the end, Xiaoqing realized that "weak men are unreliable, and strong men will lie to you".

his old enemy,The task of the tauren leader seems to be to do everything possible to hinder Xiaoqing. From the beginning to the end, he dutifully acts as a tool man to step up the rhythm and advance the plot in a timely manner. As the biggest boss of Shura City, he cruelly slaughtered the whole Rakshasa clan. Seeing this scene, my heart suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. After all, this is a character who looks like a bull demon king. And Rakshasa...

As this work, or the most classic villain related to "The Legend of the White Snake", Fahai appears to be superior and uncomfortable here. However, at the beginning, Xiaoqing pointed out that Fahai had already broken the precepts of sex and killing. Perhaps this killing was because he was ruthless when he received demons. It could also be regarded as a foreshadowing of his later relationship with an important character in Shura City; But this lust has nothing to do with the whole movie. To be honest, due to the influence of the movie "Green Snake", I always thought that Fahai’s breaking of lust was related to Xiaoqing, and Fahai did not directly kill Xiaoqing, and had to leave a way out for Xiaoqing in Shura City. , Even a series of operations such as becoming a sparring npc in the Batu Caves as if on call to refresh the game boss at a fixed point seems to be verifying this idea. Not to mention the close-up of the details of his painful and forbearing expression when he punched Xiaoqing into Shura City. I almost exclaimed, "It’s killing me"...

(but I still hope that the chasing light can change the modeling of male characters...)

I even suspected that the masked boy was the incarnation of Fahai’s side as a mortal, one you are in a high position, both Buddha and monster. , The other you are deeply affectionate and considerate to protect her. In the end, it's fate, love and kill, a sadomasochistic relationship. But the plot tells me that I think too much...

Seeing the friends here, I probably don’t care about the spoilers anymore, so let me be more thorough.Yes, it is not difficult to guess that the mysterious masked teenager who has lost all memory but has been helping Xiaoqing from the beginning is actually the sister Xiaobai she has been searching for.

I don’t know how to describe the shock at that moment-this shock is not from an accident of identity, but because of directly copying and pasting Xiaobai’s facial features onto a man’s face intact, and it still emits The standard male voice is really unacceptable for a while...

More importantly, in the previous game, we have seen a very good Xu Xuan, but here we have to turn him back into that cowardly and incompetent Xiaobai’s obsession is Xu Xuan/Xu Xian, but in the end it is claimed that Xiaobai’s obsession is actually only his sister Xiaoqing. Although the double arrows of the two sisters are also very good, this can not help but confuse the former official party. So, the love and love of the previous life are all wrongly paid? The same is reincarnation, how can Xiaobai retain a trace of memory, every time he reincarnates, he is thinking of Xiaoqing, and Xu Xian has become a person who has a complete change of personality, but it is a passerby. Is this the protagonist's halo? As for the children in the opening, I'm sorry, it doesn't matter, the appearance will be finished. In my opinion, chasing light is not cherishing the role that I created, and it has wiped out the existence of the first part. Even when I was writing the manuscript and heard the theme song "The Origin of Origin", I couldn't help feeling wronged for Xu Xuan. The mountain is high and the road is far away".

Although near the end of the film, the official gave a beautiful lily cut that was enough to make the scissor hands applaud, but the lily party that only eats lilies may not be very pleasant, I want to explain two There are many ways to express people's feelings higher than gender. It is hard to insert a period of sex, let Xiaoqing realize that in the final analysis, sister is the best way, and it is the least necessary way. The BG Party and the Lily Party are very embarrassed. If you insist, the original legend that Xiaoqing was a male at first, then maybe there is some BL here, but even if it’s an omnivorous like me, I can’t help but say, "If it’s not Xiaoqing, Qing Xiaobai is an original character. I can get better, but when I think of it as Xiaoqing Xiaobai,I just..." feeling...

Finally, let’s talk about the only designated heroine of this work-Xiao Qing. It is really nothing to make Xiao Qing an independent female. One thing to blame, but here, her "awakening" road is roughly like this-the man her sister is looking for is too weak to protect her, and the weak man is unreliable → I will find a strong one that can protect me → It turns out that the powerful can also deceive, betray me in times of crisis → men are not reliable → I understand, I should not rely on others, to be a man is to rely on myself → but this man is very good → what he actually lied to me, Men really can’t do it → it turns out that he is still good to me, and there are men who are okay → Oh, it turns out that he is a elder sister, only elder sisters are good, and children with elder sisters are like treasures!

(two Xiaoqing can reach a consensus...)

It makes people look like a question mark, not to mention forcing Sima officials to protect themselves. This is very moral kidnapping. It is unnecessary to kill all men with a stick. In the final analysis, Does Xiaoqing need this way of awakening and growing up?

In the past film and television dramas, in our inherent impression, Xiaoqing's image was originally quite rebellious and self-independent. Growing up here The route is like forcibly asking a Monkey King who has completed a riot in the palace and has no amnesia to realize that he can also be the Monkey King. The intention is very good, and it also inherits the deconstruction and rebellious ideas that domestic animation has been accustomed to in recent years. , But the problem is that Monkey King is already the Monkey King, and Xiaoqing is already an independent female free fairy who does not rely on men. Forcing her to "awaken" again, can be said to be superfluous.

( Maggie Cheung played Xiaoqing in the movie "Green Snake")

Not to mention,Think about it carefully, even though Xiaoqing here says "men are unreliable", many of the plots still rely on men—at least those whose physical state is a man—to complete. Does this count as an independent heroine? Woolen cloth?

and the whole plot is more like the beginning and end of the story and the theme has been determined for a long time-that is, "Xiaoqing's growth", and then to forcefully add characters around this theme. This makes the whole movie less like a story, but more like a game, in which the characters only appear for appearance, become villains in order to become a villain, and force certain actions in order to complete Xiaoqing’s growth, just like the game npc It comes with its own mission, and it also exits as hard as some games NPCs...

As for the most concerned Qingbai sisterhood, of course, you can also say that I am looking at Renji with rotten eyes, and only knows the sentence "I want to stay green and white." world". But I sat in the movie theater and saw that the city of Shura had no location, and it was clear that the six words "Sister Love" were written in every scene. At night, I couldn't fall asleep anyway. After thinking about it in the middle of the night, I could see the words from the cracks. The whole screen was written with four words "She loves her so much"!

In addition to the role setting, the overall plot also presents a feeling of compactness. It is true that there is no pee, but this is not necessarily entirely commendatory.

As far as my personal experience is concerned, when the story is halfway through, I already feel a sense of exhaustion-tired, really tired, not only Xiaoqing who has been in parkour Tired, the audience will also feel tired from frequently changing maps and picking up tasks-when playing the game, they will access the plot transition after completing the task, allowing the player to take a break and show more of the world view by the way. This movie is not at all. It's just running and running + hitting, hitting and running, running and hitting, occasionally breathing for a few times, and getting caught up in the subtleties of the character setting pointed out earlier. Confused state. Not to mention, although there are many elements, it seems fancy and magnificent, but when you think about it,Many settings are actually useless. The director wanted to present too many things, and the overall effect in the end was a little messy. It is natural to see the picture, but it is indeed dispensable for the plot.

(but the little fox is really cute, and it is indeed a key figure)

But overall, I still think this domestic animation is still worthy of people going to the cinema. , I am also willing to give a four-star rating on Douban. Although the plot is too tight, the character setting cannot satisfy everyone; there are too many elements to see if I want to please the Lily Party, the feminist or the fans of the previous work, or I want it all but I can't satisfy them all. But its overall visibility and logic I think is beyond "Little Door God", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Big Fish and Begonia", "White Snake: Origin", "Nezha's Demon Boy Comes into the World", "Jiang Ziya" Waiting for the "predecessors", there are also many plots that are not mentioned in this article but are worth watching. And such pictures and special effects, if they are not enjoyed on the big screen, are really a waste. It can be said that chasing light animation is far from the "Rise of National Comics/Domestic Animation" that we have always wanted, and there is only one good screenwriter short of it.

After watching this animated movie, I am even more looking forward to the "Deep Sea" next door...

Finally, choose a few pictures that seem to have a visual sense and make you crazy. , Friends, understand yourself... (but it doesn’t mean plagiarism/borrowing at all!)
