When everything was settled, the dedication of the people in Jiuchuan finally sealed the evil god. They walked out of the cave, and nothing seemed to have changed, but everything also seemed to have changed.

At the end of the movie, those people who saved the world without anyone knowing walked down the mountain. They will remain anonymous and watch over this place for a long time.

At this point, it should have ended.

Just as Cao Manwen was about to get up, he saw that the black screen lit up again.

Old photos emerged one after another.

That is the past experience of the people in the Nine Sects.

Some people returned to their hometown after that and lived an ordinary life.

Some people are obsessed with this and toss and turn for the rest of their lives.

Some people devoted themselves to defending their country and fought until the last moment.

Each old photo, like a life story, shows the story after the legend ends.

These photos seem to be about the lower classes, but in fact, all viewers know that these photos are about everyone in that era.

The trajectory of history flows in the photos, with the background changing from desolation, decline, war, to reconstruction, prosperity, and peace.

At all times, there are always people fighting for this land in various ways.

Some jumped into the muddy oil fields and stirred the oil with their bodies, some rode horses, carrying flags and emblems, and enforced justice in the mountains, and others just stood in front of the podium to convey hope and devote their lives to the cause.

They may be together, or they may not know each other, but they are all standing here for one goal.

Professor Hu also saw a photo of himself and his father. In the black and white photo, his father looked a little dull, while Professor Hu looked confused. The two men were obviously father and son.

This photo is so ordinary, but to Professor Hu, it is a precious treasure.

It was not until the film's production credits were all played and the lights in the theater came on that the audience came back to their senses and stood up to leave.

Cao Manwen supported Professor Hu and saw that the old man was no longer in tears as before, but had a satisfied expression on his face.

“It’s good that someone remembers it.”

Professor Hu muttered.

Professor Hu originally thought that no one would ever mention the legends his father had once told him.

In this age of mystery decline and tradition dimming, Professor Hu has given up the idea of ​​passing on the tradition.

But now, he has some hope again.

Can I give my students one more lesson at the podium?

Even if everyone just regards these as legendary stories and only passes them on orally, there will be some people who remember them.

When Cao Manwen saw this scene, he didn't know for a moment whether this movie was real or imaginary.

Even if it was an illusion, judging from Professor Hu's reaction and the supernatural powers he had witnessed, it was definitely not false.

If it is true, did Lu Ban really travel through time and leave these images in the past?

Cao Manwen's mind was also in a mess.

Stephen was also messy.

The foreigner walked out of the cinema with heavy steps.

On the one hand, he was hit so hard by the Old Ones that his brain went blank, as if he had been poured with boiling water, making him unable to think.

And when Stephen began to think, what he saw took his breath away.

The sight of those people who were not afraid of sacrifice and were ready to die moved this young man who grew up in an environment of liberalism and individualism.

Stephen saw a young man supporting an old man outside the cinema.

The two of them seemed to have just walked out of the cinema, perhaps a grandfather and grandson.

Stephen saw this kind of inheritance in the movie and outside the movie.

He envied such inheritance.

Outside the cinema, there were still many people preparing to come in to watch the second show. Stephen looked at these people and wondered if there were any descendants of the Ninth Class among them?

He walked into the crowd.

…

After the release of the movie "Nine Streams", the reviews were always a step behind.

It was not until the afternoon that the official account of Film Weekly published a special article.

Most importantly, film critics are thinking about and trying to figure out Lu Ban’s thoughts.

On the surface, this movie is a legendary fictional drama centered on people with supernatural powers, just like those martial arts movies.

But in fact, film critics believe that this movie uses the background of this era and the legendary story to tell something real, and those Nine Legends followers are a microcosm of a large group of people.

Lu Ban used this trendy and unique way to show the struggles, people’s thoughts, attitudes, and heritage of that time.

Through the plot of the dispute over Xuanjun, the attitudes of people at that time towards this land that was plagued by war and had an unclear future direction were shown. Some people wanted to rely on external forces and sell out themselves, some stood idly by and took care of themselves, and some struggled hard and moved forward with difficulty.

At this point, many film critics can understand it.

But what they couldn't understand were those ugly monsters and the final evil god.

Of course, as part of Lu Ban’s movie universe, it is normal to add these things.

But this time Lu Ban obviously revealed something shocking. The appearance of the monster and the posture of the evil god appeared on the big screen for the first time.

What idea does this convey?

In addition, film critics are also wondering why Lu Ban chose to shoot this film in the form of a pseudo-documentary.

According to the normal thinking of this type of film, the director should try his best to create a worldview that originates from reality but transcends reality, and finally returns to reality with an ending where the legend has been annihilated. The documentary approach increases the realism of the film, but those supernatural powers are fictional, which creates a contradiction.

It can't be that Lu Ban really found the descendants of those people with supernatural powers. Such a thing did happen back then, so his movie is a real documentary, right?

It's too exaggerated.

However, putting aside all these trivial matters, this movie is indeed very good. The courage shown by human beings in the face of disasters makes those who were trapped in Lu Ban’s previous movie "Doomsday" unable to escape the dilemma of extinction no matter how hard they tried, many times better.

In fact, except for the villain, all other characters survived.

This is hard to imagine, after all, he just destroyed an entire civilization of humans in the previous movie.

Therefore, the perspective of many film reviews is Lu Ban’s change.

Some people say that Lu Ban is a gentle director. Death is just a means rather than an end. In this movie, the characters' survival can better reflect his thoughts, so there is such a happy ending.

Some people say that these characters all died in the end, and those interviews are the memories of them by later generations. In Lu Ban’s movies, the protagonist has only two endings: death on the spot or death after the story is over.

Others say that as Lu Ban gets older, he has gradually changed from being aggressive and murderous at the beginning to being moderate. When he was young, he always yearned for extreme emotional expressions, but after growing up and experiencing more things, he gradually understood the power of peace.

In any case, compared to Lu Ban’s previous works, this “Nine Streams” has struggles, eras, heroes turning the tide, villains suffering the consequences, and a good ending. Film critics all agree that this movie is worth recommending to everyone!
