Unrelated to encryption | "Damn Asura": Can't escape from reincarnation

I'm sorry that readers who want to watch cryptocurrency content on Matters will be disappointed again. I dealt with a lot of parting topics this week. A friend invited me to watch a play, saying that it might be the last time in his career. Accompany the gentleman.

When I watched the private scene, Hong Kong had not yet been officially exposed, so this is the first (?) review in Hong Kong. Just think I'm taking a vacation away from the blockchain world (laughs).

However, the process of watching this drama was very interesting. My friend only said it was a Taiwanese movie, and asked me if I wanted to tell me the title in advance. But when I said no, it was regarded as his mysterious show, so I watched it without any premise, at most I knew that I could speak Mandarin.

He won't come to me to watch a really bad show. The mysterious test film turned out to be "Damn Asura". Today (27th August 2022 at 9:50pm) the 46th Hong Kong International Film was held in Hong Kong for the first time. "Land". It is described on the HKIFF webpage as follows:

A random murder case involving the flaws in the lives of six characters. The teenager was consciously trapped in the cage and walked to the night market with a modified air gun. A friend who created the Dark Comics is convinced that he did not intend to commit the crime. The one who was shot was a celebrity who was playing live broadcasts, and his fiancee worked overtime every day and his feelings faded. A rebellious girl who is short of money and love cheats on virtual treasures through online games, and the reporter who interviewed her accidentally becomes a witness to the case. If time and space can be cut off, can fate be rewritten? Lou Yi'an meticulously choreographed and directed the multi-line narrative to compose a song of opportunity, without judging others, revealing that good and evil are only a matter of thought. Best Supporting Actress at Golden Horse Awards, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Score at Taipei Film Awards.

The Asuras in the title have talked about in Buddhist practice in the past, they are one of the six sentient beings, they have spirit/ability but are not gods. I always fight bravely, so I feel like I can't get out of reincarnation. It's like suggesting that every character in the play has an ego, so even if they have the ability, they can't get out of the current predicament. It also implies that the six characters will, like Asura, keep reincarnating and relocating. For audiences who are used to multiverse and parallel universes in films in recent years, the acceptance should be very high. There is a sad end and a happy end in the play, which can be regarded as finding a glimmer of hope in the pain .

Because I was "ignorant" of this film when I watched it, and I rarely watched Taiwanese films on weekdays. I didn't even know who the main characters and supporting roles were, so I was amazed at everyone's strong performance, even the small supporting roles were very interesting. It makes me look very engaged. Later, I learned that one of the actors, Mo Ziyi, won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and Wang Yuxuan won the Best Supporting Actress Award for this film, and then this film will represent Taiwan to compete for the best actor at the 95th Academy Awards in the United States in 2023. International films, I did see a heavyweight masterpiece.

Although many Taiwanese friends have watched it, I still don't want to explode. Maybe you can think about it from the above introduction. After all, a teenager would kill indiscriminately with a gun in a night market. What forced him to go to a dead end? Or is he inherently evil? Other characters fall into the cycle of fate because of his decision to kill, adapt to the face or fight back strongly, what will be the difference in the future of life? It is true that good and evil are only in one thought, and many times it is just that oneself thinks crooked and persists for nothing, or really understands the cruelty of the world and stops moving forward. But after watching this drama, in addition to wanting to watch it a second time as soon as possible, I am more convinced that if you have a problem, you must seek help . It is easy to have a problem with yourself, and if you influence others to create a chain reaction, you will really have to take on karmic debt.

This time, the movie was reserved at ACX Cinemas 4 in North Point. Every seat was an OTO massage chair, and the massage was super cool while watching the movie. I hope that the so-called pass will be lifted as soon as possible, and I can see enough of this theater again without any burden.
