A Chinese Odyssey(大话西游) I watched an old movie last night with a friend named A Chinese Odyssey which was first released in 1995. Even though the visual effects are horrible, yet the story is brilliant. I heard about this movie a long time ago. One of my best friends she is a big fan of this movie. She told me plenty of times about how she felt about the love between ZiXia and ZhiZunBao (ZhiZunBao is the mortal version of Sun WuKong. He was punished for making a mistake. He was taken the great power away from him and became a mortal. Yet he will get his power back as long as he realizes his probelem.). But I never thought about to watch it until yesterday. Because I can't get why it's so touching before. Now I grow older, experienced more. I start to understand the deep feeling inside the movie. Near the end of the movie, Sun Wukong choose to put the Golden Hoop back on his head so he can become back as the great Monkey King, but that also means now he should have no feeling about love desire and everything belongs to the mortal life. And that is right the moment when he finally realized how deep he loves ZiXia. But he has no choice. He needs to be powerful to defeat the Bull Demon King to get his Shifu his brothers and ZiXia back. And that's where it breaks my heart. Like what my friend said "我拿起刀不能拥抱你，放下刀不能保护你。（He can't give her a hug when he is armed, and if he don't he can't protect her."

A Chinese Odyssey(大话西游)

I watched an old movie last night with a friend named "A Chinese Odyssey" which was first released in 1995. Even though the visual effects were horrible, yet the story is brilliant. I heard about this movie a long time ago, one of my best friend is a big fan of this movie. She told me plenty of times about how she felt about the love between ZiXia and ZhiZunBao (ZhiZunBao is the mortal version of Sun WuKong. He was punished for making a mistake. the great power was taken away from him and his now mortal, but he will get his power back as long as he realizes his problem [spelling]). But I never thought about watching it until yesterday, Because I didn't get why it's so touching before. Now I grew older and experienced more, I'm starting to understand the deep feeling the movie is trying to convey.
Near the end of the movie, Sun Wukong chose to put the Golden Hoop back on his head so he can become the great Monkey King again, but that also means that he should not have any feelings about love desire or anything that belongs to the mortal life. (there is no problem in using and after a full-stop but on a practical level, it is better avoiding the use of "and" or "but" after a full-stop) And that was the moment when he finally realized that his in love with ZiXia. But he had no choice, he needs to be powerful to defeat the Bull Demon King to get his Shifu his brothers and ZiXia back. And that's where it broke my heart.
Like what my friend said "我拿起刀不能拥抱你，放下刀不能保护你。(He can't give her a hug when he is armed, and if he doesn't he can't protect her.")

Claire, I will watch it, thx. You know, I always feel strange whan somebody calls a recent.. er.. A movie made in 1995 'an old movie':) I think 'what the Chaplin's works are then if this is old!?' Now i realized what is going on. I rarely watch films in a movie theater and I choose them without any relation to their age, country etc., much like as I do with books. So I use 'old' to mean 'early in the history of the cinema', with the reference to 2 points (the start and now)... Some people lead different lifestiles. They would use 'old' in a different meaning: "everybody watched it a while ago..." 1 point of reference - today. Sorry for this note: I have just never realized that the word 'old' may have different meanings before. So I'm writing down my discovery for myself.

^_^yeah~ totally agree! and thank you for your correction, it helps a lot

Journey to the west is a fun read!
