The Monkey King was driven away by the Tang Priest and stopped at sea by Guanyin. Please pay attention to her posture. This is the famous Shuiyue Guanyin style.
And Mrs. Bones' magic mirror. Why is it this shape? This is a blooming flower of evil.
Guanyin and Mrs. Bones, what they interpret is only a romantic scene. Towering columns, once destroyed. Hide the mirror image, no intention to come.
From this, we can understand some lines in the movie.
The Tang Priest said to the Monkey King: We all only believe what we see and stick to what we think is right or wrong. What people insist on is the appearance of a mirror.
Shuiyue Guanyin said to the Monkey King: Don't judge others' mistakes by what is right or wrong in your own mind. You see the truth, and your master sees the mind.
The Monkey King is an ape, representing the heart. Apes can see the truth, but not themselves. Tang Priest is a hero who looks at the heart. Everyone laughed at Tang Priest's weakness. In fact, everyone is always unable to control their Tang Priest along the way.
If you want to follow the original journey to the west, Guanyin can often only see the appearance. When recognizing Liu Er's macaque fifty-eight times, the Tathagata said to her, "You are so powerful that you can only read about Sunday, but you can't know everything about Sunday." In other words, Guanyin can see all the phenomena in the world, but not necessarily the essence. It is equivalent to a Skynet monitoring system, similar to the white mirror function.
However, unlike mortals, Guanyin is not obsessed with appearances. In the original book, when the black bear monster descended to earth, the Bodhisattva turned into a wolf spirit and smiled at Wukong: "Wukong, the bodhisattva demon, thinks about it all the time. If the theory is original, it is nothing. " In a moment, you can become a Buddha and a demon. It is this idea that Tang Priest measured.
