How come the rating of "Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box" on Douban reaches 9.0?

Hello, Fatty Wang is here. Back then, Fatty also watched Westward Journey many times. Let me tell you my thoughts on this issue.

A Douban score of 9.0 is a very high score. Generally speaking, a movie with a score of 8.5 is considered a relatively good movie. Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box was released in Hong Kong on January 21, 1995. For many people, Westward Journey is an irreplaceable memory. However, when it was first released, there were almost a flood of negative reviews, and many viewers clamored to refund their tickets. It was unanimously rated as a bad film by Hong Kong film critics, and of course the final box office was also quite dismal.

It was not until 1999 that, with the rise of pirated video discs and the Internet, Westward Journey was introduced to the mainland and was enshrined out of control.

In summary, there are several reasons why Westward Journey became popular quickly when it was spread to the mainland. 1: Stephen Chow’s exaggerated and nonsensical performance. 2: Grouper’s funny dubbing. 3: The movie story depicts small characters. 4: Westward Journey has a very accurate sense of sadness and joy. Everyone has different feelings after watching it, and even the feeling is different every time after watching it.

He can make you laugh and cry, and he can also make you cry and laugh. There is a thin line between joy and sorrow. Fatty thinks this is his greatest charm.

? I like this question very much, and I am also willing to share my inner views.

?In fact, if you want to watch the first or second part of Westward Journey, they are both classics among classics. But these two films were also criticized at the time. Because its nonsense and meaning were, to be honest, incomprehensible to people at the time.

? But now, it is actually unparalleled to appreciate these two movies with today's thinking.

? As for why "Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box" has a rating of 9.0, I think there are the following points:

1?: This movie contains boys. The transformation of man.

Boys long for the beautiful love like the Supreme Treasure, and they also hope to have the ability of Sun Wukong to protect their lovers. However, putting on the tight curse requires letting go of love. The incompatibility between love and ability may not be as we imagined. A very different transformation!

2?: "Westward Journey" inherits the sacred mission of traditional comedy and pushes it to the extreme, making extensive use of postmodern collage, parody, hybrid and other techniques, and using carnival language To achieve subversion of traditional culture. It shows people a typical postmodern picture: no center, no system, no depth.

3?: A parody of a classic text, "Journey to the West" parodies the classic "Journey to the West". It allows the gods to take off their holy cloak, and also have seven emotions, six desires, love, hate, and boundless love. Mana, other things are no different from ordinary people. They are no longer images of gods who sacrifice themselves to save the common people, but are replaced by images of highly individual characters.

4?: Parody movie text. "At that time, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from my throat, but after a quarter of the incense stick, the mistress of the sword will completely fall in love with me..." This classic dialogue is a reference to director Wong Kar Wai's calling card "Chungking Express", a parody of the lines when the policeman played by Takeshi Kaneshiro met the drug dealer played by Brigitte Lin: "At nine o'clock in the evening on April 28, 1994 AD, I When I was closest to her, the distance was only 0.01 centimeters. Fifty-seven hours later, I fell in love with this woman."

5?: The love story of Zhizunbao, at the beginning of the story. , Zhizunbao, like everyone else, does not know what his destiny is. He works hard to pursue those who are destined not to belong to him, but to no avail. When he slowly sees his destiny clearly, he starts from the beginning. He waved his hands and kicked his feet, struggled to accept his fate, and later took the initiative to take on the mission given to him by fate. There was growth, but also the helplessness of growth. After experiencing the two identities of the Supreme Treasure and the Monkey King, Sun Wukong became that The person who becomes the most desolate because of his understanding of fate.

?"Look, he looks like a dog." This sentence later expressed the thoughts of countless boys. The transformation from a boy to a man is no longer a prodigal, but he has the responsibility of the common people. He will no longer be as naughty and mischievous as before, but has learned to cover up and endure! This is also the current situation of boys in contemporary society. When we truly understand the meaning of family, we really take off our immature leather clothes, put on thick masks, and live like a dog!

?I have watched these two movies seven or eight times, and I cry every time I watch them. Maybe this is understanding! I also hope that those who don’t approve may not love you, but please don’t hurt me!

Maybe everyone will grow up, and after experiencing some things, they realize that everything is different!

"Westward Journey" is a love tragic comedy film jointly produced by Stephen Chow Cai Xing Film Company and Xi'an Film Studio. It is directed by Liu Zhenwei and stars Stephen Chow, Zhu Yin, Ng Meng-tat, Mok Wenwei and others.

After the movie was released in 1995, Westward Journey, which cost 60 million Hong Kong dollars, sold 50 million at the box office in Mainland China and Hong Kong, and the losses were huge. The crew attributed the failure to Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei took the entire blame and became the biggest negative teaching materials of the year.

When I was a kid and watched Westward Journey, I only had three impressions: Zixia is so beautiful, Wukong is so ugly, and this is a hilarious comedy

That’s right! At first, the painting style of Journey to the West only gave me a lot of laughs like the whole street. When I watch Journey to the West many years later, Zixia is still so beautiful, Wukong is still ugly, and there are still so many laughs. However, when I watch the love between Zixia and Zhizunbao, the more I see it, the more I see it. It feels more and more tragic. The love between Zhizunbao and Zixia is ridiculous. The beginning of their romance was bizarre. Just because Zhizunbao pulled out Zixia Fairy's purple gold sword, Zixia fell in love with him. Zhizunbao never knew that he loved Zixia until he saw a tear that Zixia left in his heart before he died. Because it is absurd, Buddha said it is an evil way. In reality, we also find that this kind of love will not last long. Zhizunbao and Zixia did not get together in the end. Zhizunbao rejected Zixia because he thought he still loved Jingjing. Seeing Jingjing, he discovered that Zixia is true love. Fate has been playing tricks on him. In the end, when he discovered that he fell in love with Zixia, he also knew that he had to let go and not let the absurdity of 500 years ago be repeated. Therefore, he chose to wear a tight spell and isolate himself from the world. As for Zixia, Zixia is still immersed in her love and will not give up the Supreme Treasure. Her idea is: No matter what happens in the world, nothing matters anymore if I am with my sweetheart. He persisted in his obsession and eventually died for his sweetheart. In fact, in the middle of the film, Zixia said "like a moth to a flame", which already hinted at her own ending.

"Journey to the West", which ended the bleak business of theaters, has sent copies to the Beijing Film Academy. Perhaps students at the film academy are more likely to accept absurd and alternative versions of "Journey to the West". Maybe "Journey to the West" will be more popular. It is suitable for blooming in the soil of campus, so as soon as the movie was shown in the school, it immediately won the applause of the whole house. It has a tour-like structure and was interpreted as a rebellious character in the play. It is an alternative love story. The dialogue in "Westward Journey" was shocked. God. At first, some people began to study the meaning of the Supreme Treasure traveling through the Moonlight Box, and some people were looking for scripts. Suddenly one day, someone accidentally blurted out: "If you want it, just say it. If you don't tell me, how will I know you want it?" Although you look at me sincerely, you still have to tell me what you want. Do you really want it? Then take it! Don’t you really want it? ..."

I don’t know since when these lines can be spoken naturally from the students’ mouths, and from time to time in the student dormitories, you can hear words being muttered under the mosquito nets, not words but lines, not The lines used in the performance are the lines in "Westward Journey". The exact time of the rise of dialogue cannot be verified, and the reasons for liking "Westward Journey" cannot be explained clearly. Because it completely subverts the old model, because it uses comedy to interpret love, and because The Supreme Treasure is so in line with the mentality of young people, these can all be reasons. Everyone has their own reasons for watching it for the Nth and N1st times.

The above is probably the reason why "Westward Journey" became so popular, so the Douban rating naturally went up!

When talking about Westward Journey, many people think of the love or dislike between the Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia.

With the golden hoop, I can't love you but I can save you. Without the golden hoop, I can love you but can't save you. This choice is really a philosophical problem.

In the end, Zhizunbao chose to wear the golden hoop and became the man who walked on the colorful auspicious clouds in the heart of Zixia Fairy. However, he was also the man who made Zixia guess the beginning but not the ending.

Too much to talk about. This question is about the rating of Moonlight Treasure Box on Douban. Let’s talk about Moonlight Treasure Box. The plot mainly tells about the reincarnation of Sun Wukong five hundred years later and becoming the Supreme Treasure. In this story about Bai Jingjing, who had an emotional entanglement five hundred years ago, Fairy Zixia only made a cameo at the end. The whole drama was just a foreshadowing, but it was equally exciting.

As for the reasons why this film has a high rating on Douban, it can be briefly summarized as follows: Friends who like it can communicate with each other, and those who don’t like it can be laughed off:

1. Now The change in mentality between the audience and the audience back then.

When everyone knew that this movie was released, it could be said to be a waterloo among Xingye's movies. Compared with Xingye's popularity back then, this movie was a hit at the box office and in terms of reputation.

The main reason to blame is that Journey to the West, a big IP, was used. As one of the four famous classics, it should be serious when made into a film and television drama, but it was made into a nonsense. Tang Monk became a saying Tuberculosis, Sun Wukong fell in love.

This can be said to be a risky and bold innovation, and it should be incompatible with that era. However, after entering the 21st century, film and television are not limited to a small box, and are inclusive. Sex is greater.

The viewers are also a new group of young people, with more avant-garde ideas. They can understand the sadness and helplessness behind the nonsense, and know that this film is not just messing around with characters from famous books. Not to attract attention, but to truly tell a love story.

2. Mr. Sing’s intention in the film

This movie is Stephen Chow’s first movie after establishing his own company, so it’s obvious how much Mr. Sing attaches importance to this movie. Just imagine.

Mr. Xing’s talent is obvious to all, and he is serious about making this movie, so this Westward Journey is definitely not a casual movie.

Even if it is not understood by people at that time, gold will always shine. After the precipitation of time, people will understand it all after it is taken out again.

3. Performances of supporting actors

In addition to Xingye’s own efforts, there are also outstanding supporting actors.

Among them, Lan Jieying, who is "beautiful in Wutai Mountain", plays the role of Chun Shisanniang. She is so beautiful and moving, and it is also a masterpiece of her acting career. Her performance in this film is eye-catching enough. But the circumstances of her life are depressing. The audience's sympathy for her life outside the play will be added to the role of Chun Shisanniang, which adds an extra layer of affirmation. Now that she has passed away, it can be regarded as her life. Got relief.

And Bai Jingjing, played by Karen Mok, should correspond to the White-bone Demon in Journey to the West. At that time, it was absolutely unthinkable that the White-bone Demon and Sun Wukong would have a romantic relationship. She accepted the challenge of this bold role.

There are also the second master played by his old partner Wu Mengtat, Luo Jiaying's Tang Monk, Liu Zhenwei's Bodhi Patriarch, and Zhu Yin's Zixia Fairy after the end of the film, which are all the highlights of the film.

4. The foil of peers

Of course, in addition to the excellence of the film itself, there is also the foil of peers.

Since Westward Journey has been gradually recognized, there have been endless adaptations of the big IP of Journey to the West, but many of these adaptations are like tigers but not dogs.

Let’s not talk about some major online movies. They are just spoofs for the sake of spoofing, with vulgar and boring character relationships to gain attention.

However, Liu Zhenwei, the director who directed Westward Journey, also directed "Moonlight Treasure Box". Although it has little to do with the Westward Journey series, it also borrowed the light of "Moonlight Treasure Box", but the lineup of this movie The cast didn't say anything, and the style was nonsensical. There were many places where they paid homage, but they couldn't capture that flavor anymore.

The later directed "Westward Journey 3" even used emotions as a gimmick, and ended up being a bad movie of the year.

Anyway, there are all kinds of movies about monkeys and Tang Seng emerging one after another, but none of them are surprising. So after watching it, you will be full of disappointment. Netizens who hate iron can’t make steel miss the classics. Brush up the ratings.

5. Rating platform

In addition to the quality of the film itself and the support of peers, there is also the rating platform. Douban’s audience is mostly composed of young people, so young people are the most important. Its characteristic is nostalgia and sentimentality.

To this day, there is no doubt that Westward Journey has become a classic. As a legacy, the feeling of missing out and regret will make young people unable to help but be partial. Of course, this is also because Only if this movie can withstand the scrutiny of literary youth will they be partial to it.

Of course, good movies will not be buried. After all, the audience’s eyes are still sharp most of the time.

The box office of a movie can be achieved through marketing, but its reputation cannot be achieved through marketing, especially if you watch it after more than 20 years and still think it is a classic, that is a true classic.

In short, the success of a film cannot be attributed to one person, but to the joint efforts of all the creators. "Westward Journey: Moonlight Box" is a film made with care, so it has always been It can stand the test of time and finally become a classic.

I don’t know how many memories of Westward Journey are born in the 80s and 90s. It is one of Xingye’s peak masterpieces. It makes people laugh to tears, but also makes people extremely sour. As the saying goes, the baptism of time leaves behind The ones you download are classics, including the Journey to the West series. The two parts of Westward Journey should be read together. The following is my personal opinion. The story roughly begins with the ignorant boy Zhizunbao looking for love. At first he thought he loved Bai Jingjing, so he wanted to go back to the past to save people through the Moonlight Box. In the process, he met fate unexpectedly. Arrangements for Zixia, and finally you realize that your love is actually Zixia, who has been rejected by you again and again. When you understand the truth, fate makes you fall into painful choices, and finally you have a classic inner monologue. "There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it only when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If you can give me a chance to do it again, I will Tell that girl I love you. If you have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it will be ten thousand years." The Supreme Treasure chose righteousness, abandoned the seven emotions and six desires, put on a tight band, and became the Monkey King with boundless power. Among the people in the world, do you choose justice or love? As for why it wasn't popular at the time, it may have to do with the fact that the era at that time had not yet accepted this nonsensical comedy style mentally! But whether a work is good or bad, history will give him the best answer after the baptism of time...

First of all, let me talk about the two works of Journey to the West: Moonlight Box and The Marriage of the Monkey King in 1994 and 1995. It was released in Hong Kong and earned close to HK$50 million at the box office, which was considered good at the time.

Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box has just premiered in the Mainland, and it has indeed encountered a waterloo. The main reason is related to the culture of the mainland at that time. People's evaluation of Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box is noisy and vulgar. Later, the film was reviewed by the Beijing Film Academy. Literary workers starting from students began to conduct in-depth research on the nonsensical dialogue and reciprocating structure of Westward Journey: The Moonlight Box, etc., and gave an in-depth interpretation. Subsequently, the film gradually gained public recognition, and in 1999- It reached its peak during 2000.

Hello everyone! My heart is endless. First of all I am happy to answer this question. Why is the movie Westward Journey: Moonlight Box rated 9.0 on Douban? I personally have the following opinions on this issue.

Hope you all like it!

1. When this movie first started, the concepts were different at that time. It doesn't seem interesting to watch. It's just a bit funny. Others are completely incomprehensible.

2. Until a few years later, college students’ concepts were more avant-garde and open than ours. I feel like what it says is very practical. Especially the dialogue is very classic. Recommended by many college students. It can be said that the essence of this movie lies in the dialogue.

4. Through the development trend of the Internet. The film later became an unsurpassed classic. By the end, many people were imitating it. It's a pity this movie. Always imitated, never surpassed. This sentence is very suitable to be used here.

5. I have watched this movie many times. Just like everyone said. When I was a child, I watched "Funny", and when I grew up, I cried when I watched it. It feels so touching.

6. I personally think this is the most classic plot. The Bull Demon King captured Fairy Zixia. Zhizunbao went to save her. When the Bodhisattva is wearing the tight mantra. That last part. There was once a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I didn’t regret it until I lost it. "The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me another chance, I will definitely say three words to that girl. "I love you." If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope It’s ten thousand years. Many people cried at that time. 7. I can’t love you with a tight ring, but I can’t love you without a tight ring.

8. There is also a Moonlight Treasure Box inside, which also plays a very important role in the plot, because it can take people to 500 years ago and 500 years later, and a lot of plots happened in between. Fairy Xia’s love story.

9. The plot is like what Fairy Zixia said is that it’s really difficult to love someone. Just like it said, I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. It’s so classic.

10. The most classic thing is like what Patriarch Bodhi said to the Supreme Treasure. People. That relationship is the most terrible thing.

11. The person who plays Tang Monk is also very funny. In it, he teaches Sun Wukong how to be self-sacrificing and do things for others. He is the most verbose. But at the end, his speech is not verbose at all. 12. Wu Mengda's performance as Zhu Bajie is also very funny. > 13. The final ending still gives us a perfect ending. Fairy Zixia and Supreme Treasure are together, and Sun Wukong also goes to learn the scriptures.

Finally, I suggest that you can review it when you have time. I personally think it’s so beautiful. I’ll share the pictures from the movie with you.

I hope my answer can help you. There are tears, there is love, it is love. There are many things worthy of reflection on the screen. The score of 9.0 shows the carefulness of Mr. Xing. After all, "Moonlight Box" can be seen in many movies. The rating of 9.0 on Douban is not accidental.

I used to feel confused when I watched "Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box", but now that I have experienced it more deeply, I feel that the emotions are amazing. The older I get, the more emotions I can experience from it. The deeper. I really like Zixia’s attitude towards love. She has the courage to believe and pursue. This kind of persistence is very valuable.

Anyone who has watched the movie knows that the role of the Moonlight Box in the movie is: Being able to travel through time and space, avoiding people and things you want to avoid, and being able to go back to the time and space you want to go to and find the people you want to find can leave a good impression on the audience.

Ming. We know we will be hurt, but we still pounce on them like moths without hesitation. You must fall in love with someone deeply. Only when you deeply feel that you can no longer love can you understand.

Sun Wukong, whose demonic nature has not yet been eradicated, does not want to protect the nagging Tang Monk and goes to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. In order to make him repent, he willingly goes to obtain Buddhist scriptures (wearing a golden hoop). Tang Monk and Guanyin reached a compromise: let him Five hundred years later he was reborn. He arranged a destiny for him, designed various obstacles in his destiny, and designed the ultimate goal: to defeat the Bull Demon King and take back everything.

After rebirth, Sun Wukong fell in love with Bai Jingjing. In order to save Bai Jingjing, who does not believe in love, Zhizunbao used the time treasure box to travel through time again and again. The last time he traveled to five hundred years ago, he met Fairy Zixia who came to earth to seek true love.

We can view it as a growth-inspirational positive energy movie, but from another perspective, starting from this sentence alone, this is an out-and-out black humor.

What is impressive is that the movie uses the choice of the two identities of Supreme Treasure and Sun Wukong to explain how everyone should make choices when encountering dilemmas in the course of life. Unfortunately, the choice that movies help us make is: not to choose what you want most, but to choose what you should want most. Most of life is not like this.

Classic lines:

(There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn’t cherish it. I only regretted it when I lost it. It’s the most painful thing in the world. Nothing could be better than this. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you?)

Fairy Zixia pulled herself out because of the Supreme Treasure. The Purple Light Sword, he believed that the Supreme Treasure was his true destiny, and now, many boys and girls were moved. This is love, and Zhizunbao unknowingly fell in love with Zixia Fairy. Unfortunately, he understood it at the moment of his death.

In the line "Ten Thousand Years", Zhizunbao did not say that the once sincere love was between him and Zixia, so he did not lie to Zixia. Zixia understood it as saying Either she or she, or understood to mean Zhizunbao and Bai Jingjing, will be moved, because she knows that the man in front of her is a dedicated and infatuated person who is worthy of her love.

To like is to see a person's advantages; to love is to accept a person's shortcomings. Such a high rating on Douban reflects the feeling that Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box gives us that "love" on the road should be cherished. Everyone wants to feel pampered. So after watching this drama, I will really cherish the hard-won fate.

Hello everyone! I am Jian 88. Every time after watching Westward Journey, I feel a lot. When you love freely, you only know dissipation and do not understand the time. When you meet true love, you meet at the wrong time, leaving no regrets. And things in this world are always like this. Who hasn’t had such an experience? Bai Jingjing and Zixia do not just refer to love or lovers. I think that being able to tell the sigh that many people think they have forgotten but bury in their hearts makes them just want to laugh when they watch it as a child, but want to cry when they watch it as an adult. Perhaps this is why this movie has such long-term and profound meaning. The root cause of lasting influence. The Moonlight Box and the Monkey King’s Marriage must be read together to understand the flavor of them.

The film has become the most influential cultural phenomenon in China. Its language style has developed from the influence of the Internet to the style characteristics of the new era language. It is not an exaggeration to say that the film has influenced a generation of Chinese people. This film is regarded as a classic among many nonsensical films. Some people even say that to judge which era a person belongs to, just look at whether he likes Journey to the West, which shows his influence. Some people even analyze Westward Journey from a postmodern perspective, which makes sense.

This post-modern movie shows an ancient Buddhist concept of causal love, which can be regarded as explaining the eternal principle of love. Coupled with the post-modern dissolution and nonsensical and funny style, it actually exerts the most wonderful "transformation method" on modern people's view of love. It has not only touched countless young people, but also made a clever excuse for the confusion of modern love. . Some people commented that the film uses postmodern techniques to eliminate the meaning of everything, except love.

There was once a true love in front of me, but I did not cherish it. I regretted it only when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is like this. If God can give me another chance to do it again, I will say three words to that woman: "I love you." If I want to add a time limit to this relationship, I hope it is ten thousand years...
