"The Great Saint Of the Great Journey to the West": Classic Spiritual Rhyme, Love of a Lifetime

Benjamin once proposed the concept of "spiritual rhyme" of works of art, in his interpretation, spiritual rhyme is the uniqueness of works of art, and the advent of the era of mechanical reproduction has made this uniqueness disappear, and the spiritual rhyme of works of art has become more and more dispersed. In the context of the film, although the copy reproduction makes the film everywhere, the big screen and the dark viewing environment of the theater shape the sense of sacredness of the audience experience from another perspective. This explains why the classic re-screenings of major film festivals are often popular with movie fans. Indeed, in the current impetuous era of consumerism, re-reading the classics often becomes an effective way for us to feel the truth and beauty.

Obviously, "The Great Saint Marrying Relatives of the Great Journey to the West" is such a classic. At that time, this work was not popular with people, but after the baptism of years, its value gradually became prominent, and the classic structure of "Journey to the West", the postmodern image logic, and the personal charm of Zhou Xingchi, coupled with the unforgettable love tragedy in the film, made this work the best memory of true feelings for generations.

But for the post-80s and post-90s, the contact channels with this film are dim video halls and resources downloaded from computers, and few people can re-see it on the big screen. However, the look and feel of a movie when it is screened in a movie theater is completely different from the feeling before the computer and television.

At present, the extended commemorative version of "Journey to the West" is about to be released, and the former producer Fang Xiying has sorted out the remaining materials of the past, selected some plots closely related to the plot, and edited into the extended version of this time. For example, the peacock demon in the original trailer has no trace in the public version, but in this extended version, it will answer a lot of questions from fans and friends. Whether it is the addition of the plot or more Easter eggs at the end of the film, you can see the sincerity of this extended commemorative version.

At the same time, technological progress is also one of the highlights. Although the original film shot on film has the blessing of the three words of "film sense", after all, the age is far away, and there are some subtle problems in terms of clarity and color accuracy of the picture. However, this extended commemorative edition has repaired the original film frame by frame, the picture quality has been improved to the high-definition level of 2K, and the sound effects have also used Dolby's atmos, which is more suitable for people's viewing habits in the current era, and the actual experience is really much better than in the past.

But no matter how it is presented, the most touching thing about "The Great Saint Marrying Relatives of the Great Journey to the West" is the sadness of the supreme treasure, the teardrops of the Zixia Fairy, at that time, Zhou Xingchi was in his youth, Zhu Yin was also in the best years, they on the screen, a smile is so beautiful, and only the movie can fix these moving love songs on the big screen for eternity.

In any case, the release of this extended version is actually an opportunity for fans to feel the light and worship their faith in the dark again, which is missed, or for many years.

At 20:00 on April 13th, let's go and see the spirit of "The Great Saint Marrying Relatives of the Great Journey to the West".
