Why is Tsui Hark's Green Snake more touching than the Green Snake that Fahai slept in?

Green Snake is the work of Tsui Hark (1993) played by Maggie Cheung. This film is adapted from Li Bihua's novel of the same name. Li Bihua once said that Tsui Hark's films basically followed the main ideas and feelings of her novels, but they were adapted in subtle ways. But in fact, Tsui Hark's small adaptation not only improves the overall tone of the novel, but also makes the image of the green snake cute and full!

Green snake and white snake come to the world, and sex appeal and charm are the innate abilities of snakes.

Fahai is set as a mature man in his twenties in the play, but he is very powerful.

Green snake and white snake live together.

White Snake and Xu Xian

In Li Bihua's novels, the green snake is an emotional bystander, telling the feelings of the white snake and Xu Xian with moving words that seem to whisper in his ear; In Tsui Hark's films, the familiar stories of White Snake and Xu Xian are more like the background of green snake's growth. She is more like a child's learning, growth and maturity. ...

In the film processing, Tsui Hark based the confusion and ignorance of Green Snake's birth on her short practice time and ignorance of personnel. Green snake's emotional exploration comes from her trust and love for the white snake, and her intentional or unintentional temptation to Xu Xian comes from her imitation of the white snake. She seems to regard the white snake as her goal and idol, hoping to get the affirmation and support of the white snake. At the beginning of the story, she came to the world with a white snake; At the climax of the story, she said to the white snake, let's come together, I don't want to go back alone; At the end of the story, the white snake died, but she became another white snake. The green snake is growing, and the white snake is mature, calm and smart. She is so calm that people feel distressed. She is more loyal to her feelings than others. Green snake followed her, admired her and finally became her. ...

Green snake and white snake, green snake depends on and trusts white snake.

In Li Bihua's novels, Fahai is an indifferent and luminous individual, and the idea that it can attract green snakes is not yet mature. It is not surprising that the little demon worships the strong. When she saw the bamboo forest, the green snake mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that she wanted to get along with the "monks in the bamboo forest". The white snake warned the green snake: "Unlike Xu Xian, he has no mortal feelings." Green Snake wants to copy White Snake's feelings for Xu Xian in Fahai, but she really didn't take the initiative to seduce Fahai. Her seductive eyes and sexually suggestive language are more like an instinct. It was not until Fahai asked the green snake to help him practice that the green snake climbed up Fahai's body actively.

Fahai has a certain attraction to the green snake.

When the film "Green Snake" was introduced to the mainland, some of it was deleted. In addition, due to the late dubbing, there are many wrong places, which make readers confused. The first deletion was that Fahai saw the body of a peasant woman in the purple bamboo forest where he first met the green snake and the white snake. This is the first time that Fahai had sexual desire and desire, which made him obsessed with practicing, so he had the plot that the subsequent evil forces could not disappear and needed the green snake to help him practice.

The birth of a woman in the bamboo forest is a huge impact on Fahai and his first sexual attraction.

Fahai

The second place to delete is that the green snake plays naked with its tail in the water, and Fahai Shimada Hanzo is in the water. Here, the green snake helps Fahai practice, which is also the lingering between the green snake and Fahai. The practice that Fahai refers to is not to seduce him and make him unmoved, but to have sex with two people, while Fahai's mind is still and his body is not leaking, so that practice can be completed. This is from the green snake whispering in Fahai's ear: "I didn't expect you to be my first man, but it's a pity that neither you nor I have mortal feelings." You can see.

Green snake helps Fahai practice.

Deleted pictures in "Green Snake"

These two deletions seem to delete the emotional trend of Fahai, but they are actually a dark line. The first deletion was the first time that Green Snake met Fahai, and the second deletion was the first time that Green Snake learned about lust. Before that, her understanding of lust came from The Legend of the White Snake and Xu Xian, and from the teaching of The Legend of the White Snake. After returning home, she couldn't wait to try it on Xu Xian, and for the first time angered White Snake, whom she regarded as a spiritual leader.

A green snake provokes a white snake.

In the movie, the white snake said to the green snake, "I know you made me angry on purpose." Instead of the old translation: "You can do it, I'm mad!" The white snake and the green snake have been together for 500 years, just as the green snake finally said to the white snake, "Isn't 500 years of our sisters together love?" She knows the green snake and what the green snake is going to do. When Green Snake got along with White Snake in the early days, Green Snake occasionally saw Xu Xian seduce White Snake, and Xu Xian's spirit also saw it, but she never accused Green Snake because she knew Green Snake better than Green Snake. When she finally drove the green snake away, she was unusually calm: "You and I are both in born to die. I already have Xu Xian's flesh and blood. We can't be together anymore. You go ahead. Don't you think it's good to be a snake? "

The human side of the white snake made her jealous.

What the white snake said to the green snake is actually her own experience. She knows, so she knows the pain.

The green snake thinks that she and the white snake have the same understanding of human nature and feelings, but she is obviously too simple. White snake is pregnant, which means that her pure love is over. She has more responsibilities as a mother, and can't joke, play or even live together with the green snake as before. It can be said that the birth of the white snake means that she has changed from a demon to a human being, so Fahai will be amazed when she sees the birth of the white snake: "It is the person who has been fighting with me!" When the green snake finally realized this feeling and shed a tear, she also completed the transformation from a demon to a human.

White snake delivery

"No mortal feelings." This line runs from the beginning to the end of the film. No mortal feelings? Why did the green snake leave a tear when it finally made a promise to the white snake? Why did White Snake let Fahai save her children first when life and death were at stake? Why is Xu Xian, who is the most selfish in nature, willing to become a monk in order to save the white snake and the green snake? Why did Fahai, who has been calling the green snake and the snake demon, take a deep look at the green snake at the end and blurt out, "Xiaoqing!" " "

Fahai finally shouted the name of the green snake at the end of the sentence.

The charm of the green snake under Tsui Hark's lens lies not in who she slept with or was seduced by, but in her exploration and growth of emotions, which is no different from human beings. She likes what Green Snake said to Fahai at the end of the movie:

"I came to this world and was misunderstood by this world.

You said there was love in the world.

But what is love?

interesting

Even you people don't understand

When you want to understand

Maybe I'll come back. "

Green snake finally knows the feeling of tears and completes the transformation from demon to human.
