The first time I met a snake, I picked it up and threw it away. I adopted the method of mutual harm and non-interference. The second time I hurt a snake. At this time, the background music of the film is Sanskrit humming and the beating of wooden fish. Buddhist wooden fish warns monks to think about Taoism day and night and observe the precepts of untouchables by saying "fish never meet eyes day and night".
When the apprentice tied ropes for fish, frogs and snakes, he took pleasure in the bondage of another life and smiled naively. He didn't think logically about evil, which is a defect in the process of human development. According to Freud's theory of personality development, at this time, the satisfaction of desire (asexual) seeks pleasure.
Master's approach is not to stop it, but to educate in a empathetic way after everything happens. The apprentice carried a huge stone and completed his redemption. When he found the snake dead, he burst into tears. He doesn't know good and evil yet, but he already knows how to respect life.
Summer (youth) opens the door, and the apprentice becomes a young man and paddles out of the temple, which is an outward narrative. Standing on the Buddha statue, what I saw was no longer a temple, but foreign women, which showed that I began to yearn for foreign things and was influenced by the secular world.
When I saw two snakes having sex in the place where I killed snakes in my childhood, my smile was relieved and the stone in my heart fell to the ground in my childhood. The copulation of snakes symbolizes the birth of new life and the farewell of childhood, but copulation symbolizes the arrival of youth. According to Freud's theory of personality development, he has entered the reproductive period at this time, and his main satisfaction comes from the establishment of sexual relations and the germination of sexual consciousness.
In the Bible, snakes are filth that tempt Adam and Eve to commit crimes, which means temptation. A sick woman is like a snake, soft as a snake. After the monk touched her chest, she was turned to chant Buddhist scripture, but she reached out to the monk with her hand. At first glance, this scene is interesting, but after watching it again, I still can't help shivering. Just like the female ghost in the series, that arm is a snake.
Girls from the secular, sick, there are two meanings. First, in the relationship between men and women in youth, men are in a dominant position, and disgusting girls here is actually weakening them, making men's original desire for women become more and more eager under the imbalance of yin and yang. This can also be seen from the position where they made love later, that is, men are in a dominant position. On the second floor, since I have to go to the hospital when I am sick, why should I go to the temple? It means it's not a physical disease. Master said that her soul was in pain, and she would recover when she found the peace of her soul. This disease is actually an abnormal dependence on sex brought by secular society.
Jin Jide spent a lot of time in summer showing the emotional changes of his disciples and sick women. Since the arrival of the sick girl, the apprentice's eyes have been on her, but every time he looks at it, there is always a certain distance, either the screen or the door, which is the suppression of human nature by religious etiquette. When he broke the distance to shelter the sick woman from the wind and rain, the girl began to take off the black dress representing abstinence and put on the white dress, even sitting on the Buddha statue in front of the door, representing the desire to suppress Buddha nature.
But even this would not be enough Jin Jide let his apprentice swim in the lake, but let the boat spin. This is a kind of aimless behavior, a simple emotional catharsis, but desire can be vented without consuming physical strength. Results The sick woman entered the water, her white skirt was wet, her body was hazy, her desire reached its peak, and they began to have sexual intercourse.
When two people go out to have sex, the water overflows the door, which seems to be an obstacle, but it is not. Water does not rise in spring, falls in summer and freezes in winter. In fact, water symbolizes desire. Sexual desire is high in summer, so the water rises accordingly. The scene of their sexual intercourse was chosen by the stream, and the rationality of human and animal nature in the natural environment was annihilated.
Master found two people hugging each other in the boat, so he pulled the boat back to the front with a chicken rope, and then let the boat sink, and the two men sank. Here, water is still a symbol of desire, and people are in danger of drowning in water. If desire confuses their eyes, they will be killed. As Master said, lust arouses possessiveness and leads to death. This also corresponds to the story line of late autumn, which is very clever.
If you are careful, you can find that every time an apprentice breaks the precepts, there will be a scene of a chicken, and the image of a chicken is vigilance. Good use, but Jin Jide seems a little proud that others don't know, so he asked his disciples to take the Buddha away when they left the temple and let the chickens go when they left the temple. This is the director's behavior, not the behavior of the characters in the movie, so the audience will feel illogical when watching it, so forget it with the Buddha statue and a chicken.
The apprentice left with the Buddha statue, but the master knew it but didn't stop it. He got up and chanted and closed his eyes. The Buddha is in his heart, and there are commandments in his heart, so the Buddha statue is dispensable, which is in sharp contrast with his disciples.
In autumn (adulthood), the door opened and Master stood on a pole. When he entered the late adulthood, he rowed back to the temple, narrated inward and talked about the return. Seeing the news that the apprentice killed his wife in the newspaper, he sighed slightly and began to prepare the monk's clothes, which already predicted the end of the apprentice.
On the way back, the apprentice pushed the blocked leaves with a ferocious face, and his heart was completely occupied by hatred. Master asked him what happened, and he complained angrily about his wife's betrayal. He stabbed the board hard, and his hatred in his heart could not be vented. He vented his anger in the water and screamed at the place where he had sex, like a roar to the past.
Master used three ways to resolve the hatred in his heart. The first two, such as an upgraded stone tied to your body when you were young, and the third one carved scriptures with a killing knife.
Disciples cut off 3,000 pieces of troubles, as if they were isolated from the world and divorced from the secular world. He appeared when the police came. Master said that he could kill people easily, but he couldn't kill himself, so he couldn't calm down in the face of police guns. The more impatient you are, the less you can achieve your goal accurately. What the secular police can't remember with guns, the old monk in the quiet room can easily do with stones.
When disciples engrave scriptures, they will feel calmer every time they engrave a word, and naturally there will be less hatred. At first, the lettering was messy and fierce. Finally, my heart calmed down and I can finally sleep. There is a scene in the movie where an apprentice sits in front of a floating temple. The temple was still moving, and his heart finally got the greatest rest.
Autumn ended with master setting herself on fire. There are different opinions on the Internet about the cause of Master's death, but none of them can explain the reason. They thought it was despair and became snakes after death. Spring has just started with snakes. Snakes are a symbol of evil, and human nature is evil. Spring, summer, autumn and winter is another spring, which is reincarnation, as can be seen from the chapter of winter. It's like an infinite loop in a closed environment. Disciples can't jump out of despair by following in Master's footsteps, because nature is evil and death is liberation, but the most desperate thing is that death is the beginning.
Cats have become the main image in autumn articles, and online opinions show that cats are alert. I don't think so. The biggest feature of cats is actually docile, that is, compared with apprentices.
"Winter" (old age), the apprentice returns, played by director Jin Jide, and the masked woman comes with her child in her arms, intending to abandon her child. Abandoning a child is a crime, so she covered her face to show her shame. But at the same time, this is also the director's plan. Masks make people want to see their true colors, and disciples have the desire to uncover them, just like breaking the precepts for the first time. So, the woman left in the middle of the night, but she didn't want to fall into the ice cave that the apprentice warned her. The woman's death was blamed on the monk, but it was also a punishment for her own crime.
Knowing that the desire in my heart was still hidden, my disciples tied stones and began to abuse themselves. Several sections of montage asceticism crossed time and space and were connected with spring.
Another spring has come, and children have grown up, but they have also begun to abuse animals, and they are more cruel, and their smiles are still naive.
After watching the movie, my heart was full of despair, a sense of powerlessness, and I have been struggling with the identity of women. Later, it was found that the setting of women's masks was not only a test for disciples, but also a test for us. If we insist on this, won't we be unable to escape? Come to think of it, the apprentice is the world. A person's life, spring, summer, autumn and winter, is a constantly divided self, ego and superego, the more you think about it, the more bitter it becomes.
