Why is "Green Snake" released in 1993 still released in Jin Dian?

0 1, unique and novel characters: the second creation of folk customs, the subversion of characters impacting the audience's cognition, and the characters as mapping symbols satirizing reality and humanity.

The film retains the basic framework of the traditional white snake legend and tells the story of the love between the white snake and Xu Xian, in which the green snake is always with the white snake, while Fahai is eager to seek the truth and tries to shield this unreasonable feeling. If the characters in the film refer to the traditional image, it will be too conventional and become a boring story of "old wine in new bottles"

Tsui Hark made an adjustment on the basis of Li Bihua's adaptation. The images of several protagonists are very different from the previous generalized images, but they are all reasonable and have great personality. Next, I will analyze the image remodeling of several protagonists one by one to explain why this film is so attractive to the audience.

White Snake and Xu Xian: Breaking through the conventional character setting, it is more fresh.

In many versions of The Legend of the White Snake, the love experience between the White Snake and Xu Xian has always attracted everyone's attention as the main plot. In the well-known legend of the white snake, the white snake has always appeared in front of the public with a gentle, kind and understanding image. The white snake has a history of thousands of years. In order to repay his kindness and get close to Xu Xian, he tried his best to escort Xu Xian. Xu Xian's image is a charming gentleman who is affectionate and righteous.

The film Green Snake runs counter to their image-building.

White snake's death is not so much out of love for Xu Xian as out of stubborn belief in "being a man". Judging from the appearance of the white snake, she wriggled to imitate human walking and blamed Xiaoqing for her nondescript appearance. Her image is in great contrast with the traditional white snake image.

When Xiaoqing asked: What's good about being a man?

Mrs White Snake can't answer, so she can only leave it to him. "What's the good way? What is the spirit of all things? People! "

When Xiaoqing said, "Sister, you say that people talk about feelings, I will learn feelings."

The White Snake said: "Love, be loyal to your heart."

In my opinion, the white snake always demands itself by the rules of being a man. In fact, she has no idea about the beauty and significance of being a man. She just thinks that man is the spirit of all things, and she wants to ask herself to get rid of the humble position of the snake demon. Behind her pursuit of love is actually the loss of self-worth cognition and the persistence of faith. Here, Xu Xian is just a carrier of faith.

The film's transformation to Xu Xian is even more unexpected.

The love between White Snake and Xu Xian has been touching for many years, but in this film, Xu Xian is portrayed as an indecisive and half-hearted passionate man. Xu Xian has been entangled with Xiaoqing for three transgressions and four times. When the White Snake drove Xiaoqing and his children away, Xu Xian was still dreaming of being surrounded by people.

When Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing rescued Xu Xian in World War I, Xu Xiangan was willing to become a monk, stay away from the world of mortals and escape from reality, betraying his love with Bai Niangzi.

In my opinion, Xu Xian and White Snake are figures of two classes. White Snake gave her faith in love, while Xu Xian just wanted to have fun. Xu Xian has the weakness of ordinary people, that is, greed and enjoyment at both ends.
