EP. 1“Although the book is exceedingly strange, expending undoubtedly several hundred thousand words [an astonishingly accurate word count], but its general importance may be stated in one sentence: it is only about the retrieving or releasing one’s mind (). For whether we folks act like demons and become Buddha are all dependent on this mind.”Wu Cheng'en, The Journey to the West, Volume 1A detailing of the fallen realm within Juno Mak’s Chinese Vampire 2014 feature (Rigor Mortis) to illuminate its most esoteric layers . We discuss the socio political nature of Hong Kong cinema, and how the Jiangshi genre has its own conventions in regards to handover anxieties and modernity vs tradition. Drawing from Teo’s seminal work “city on fire” -we discuss the production, financing and early studio system, and it’s multiple declines in the subsequent years. This film serves as the perfect metaphor of the canto language industry and its rise and fall, and perhaps rebirth in the post-national era. but it is in its mythological and esoteric layers that this film takes on a life beyond the grave, rich in sorcery and allusions to 神魔 (shenmo) “gods and demons” literature from the Ming Dynasty, and spiritual practices like Daoism, Black Magic, Ghost Mediumship, Sorcery, and of course corpse vampires. 📿🥷Jin The Ninja🥷📿X: @WukongReborn X: Threshold Saints Insta: @thresholdsaints LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/thresholdsaints⭕️🔵⚡️Lee⚡️🔵⭕️: email: [email protected]              */* PayPal - [email protected]   */* *Twatter* # @SubconRealms33 /Insta # @subcon_realms33 / MINDS - @subconscious_realms / Subconscious Realms T-shirts are available - https://subconscious-realms.teemill.com/search/?search-term=Subconscious%20     👽🦎💣💣💣&🔥🔥🔥
