With Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling is naturally indispensable.
To be honest, what I can’t forget most about this movie is Jing Boran’s version of Zhang Qiling.
As mentioned in the character introduction, the film version of Zhang Qiling wants to bring to people a sense of vicissitudes and fate, as well as a fearless spirit of perseverance for the mission and the fear of death.
When I read the book before, Zhang Qiling was a god-like and immeasurable man in the hearts of tomb robber fans from beginning to end. He was mysterious and powerful, beautiful and charming, determined and lonely. The portrayal of him in my heart is more like an unattainable divine existence, and Yang Yang's performance in the drama version further deepens the image of this intimidating and obsessive character.
So, just like the moon in the water and the shadow of the snow, I always feel that I can’t see it clearly through a layer of veil, and the more I look at it, the more out of reach I can see.
Compared to Wu Xie, he is more like a made-up demon to confuse people.
But in the movie, he really came to life and became a real person with flesh and blood.
In the plot, Zhang Qiling doesn’t talk much. The only communication and emotion he has is when he is with Wu Xie. He is like a lost child. Although he knows how to move forward, he does not know the past. After walking this journey, But I don’t know where to go next. I am not innately indifferent to the isolation and loneliness of this world, but I am at a loss what to do.
Living only for his mission, without Wu Xie's powerful intrusion, his immortal life would be just an endless and endless zombie.
"If a person like me disappears from this world, no one will find it."
How lonely, how desperate, and how desperate to say this.
Here, I have to praise Jing Boran's acting skills. He doesn't say much, it's all about the eyes.
The ruthlessness on the snow-capped mountains, the confusion in the mirror, the patience of the unicorn burning the body, and the strength of the golden sword.
Because of the confusion and doubts about seeing each other again when they were young, and the brief and warm acquaintance in the car along the way, Wu Xie was left alone because of the selfishness of the "meny oil bottle" on the cliff.
Everyone is deeply moved. Rather than being a powerful warrior, he is clearly a coward who restrains his edge, is cautious, and stays close to the world.
Desire but not dare to ask, hope but not bear to approach, just try your best to fight a bloody road, protect the warmth in your heart, and live in peace along the way.
The heavy golden sword is under his hand. He can kill Buddhas when he encounters them, and he can kill gods when he encounters them. He is unstoppable and brave but useless.
In order to maintain the mission on my shoulders and to protect my heart, even if I turn into a ghost and sacrifice myself, there is nothing to fear!
In the final showdown with the witch, he was seriously injured and looked forward to death.
The look in the eyes when the tree vine entered the body was clearly at the end of its strength, but it was still dead and refused to recognize, even if it was riddled with holes, it was still as strong as ever.
From enduring the pain to bursting into flames, every subtle change is reflected in those silent pupils.
It makes people feel immersed in the scene and concerns the whole body.
It is too tragic and touching, too firm and shocking.
The fire dragon swallowed it up, and the sea of ??flames overturned.
A copper coin fell from a high altitude and landed on the palm of my hand. I opened my hand. It was small and did not weigh much, but it was twisting the last link between the past of life and the world.
Looking up and looking into the distance, the last bit of my heart has been safe and sound as the iron cable continues to rise.
So, the mission has been completed and this world is at peace. What else can you not let go of in this long and distant life?
Hold the coins tightly and smile quietly. In the coming year, my body and soul will be gone, and I will be gone without a trace.
However, at least one person knows that I have been here.
At this point, the movie viewing is over, leaving only a sigh of relief.
Whether the story of Tomb Raiders is over or not, or what the ultimate secret that grabs people’s hearts is, is no longer important.
This is a journey of dialogue between people in a fantasy world and people in the real world, about adventure, about protection, about persistence and perseverance, about finding yourself and cherishing each other.
Whether it is Wu Xie or Zhang Qiling, their journeys have begun and ended. They have unreservedly followed their respective life trajectories and destiny agreements, completed the final agreement to stay together, and the world is peaceful.
Only here, I pay tribute to the silly and naive Wu family Xiaoxie and the Zhang family Qilin who is lonely and confused but as strong as a boulder!
