Has been imitated and never surpassed. What is the charm of old The Journey to the West?

The old version of Journey to the West did not have fancy special effects, but used real location, but the plot was the most fascinating and enduring. The old version of The Journey to the West was shot in the 1980s. At that time, the equipment was backward, the equipment was in short supply and the service was not exquisite enough. In particular, Journey to the West is still a magical theme, which requires a lot of special effects and special shots, which was even more rare at that time. Looking back at those special effects now, I feel a little fake, but I didn't feel it at all. One reason was that the technology was not developed at that time, and the other reason was that the performance was so fascinating that we were deeply immersed in the play while watching it. I remember a scene in which the Monkey King saved the Tang Priest who was caught, blew a mouthful of fairy gas and untied the rope that tied Tang Priest, and then this special effect could not be made out of thin air, so when shooting, the actor first smoked a mouthful of cigarettes, and then took a special effect photo of the smoke actually spit out. You can feel the professionalism of the program group and actors, and the effect is actually very good. To tell the truth, although the special effects have been improved, it is not advanced, but a boring embarrassment.

The actor's acting skills are superb and fascinating. Although the technology of the first few films is not high, the actors and plots are really excellent, and everyone's performances are very real and fascinating. The same is true of the old version of Journey to the West. The Monkey King, a six-year-old boy, took a part-time job from a book. He acts like the Monkey King. He is lively, smart and stubborn, which is so charming! There are also the roles of Pig Bajie and Tang Priest, all of which are very real and vivid. Even the acting skills of a little monster are so vivid and agile, and I admire the attitude and spirit of the actors at that time. The roles played by the actors in The Journey to the West are very interesting in every movement and every look. They say the lines are not dry, but cadence. It's a pleasure to watch them perform. When I was a child, I remember watching Journey to the West. When I saw the Monkey King being driven away by Tang Priest's misunderstanding, I cried and suffered for several days.
