STATEMENT
Xiaowei was frozen in the cold hell for 500 years because she violated the rules of demon realm to save people. She was in great pain. In the face of fate, there are only two choices for escaping from the ice cave: either to be caught back by the ice tongue of the cold hell, or to get a real adult of the "active dedication" of the human heart. Xiao Wei searched for her targets until she met Princess Jing who escaped from marriage and was disfigured by an accident. Xiao Wei soon found that the princess had a different heart. She placed all her ideals of becoming a person on the princess. The princess's appearance in Baicheng surprised Huo Xin who once had a green plum, a bamboo horse and a sense of guilt. Facing the princess, he could not accept the sudden reality that the princess escaped from marriage and was ready to elope with herself. Xiao Wei finds out the delicate psychological state of Princess Jing and Huo Xin, and her plan conforms to the birth. She instilled in Princess Jing that men's love for women was only sexual desire, suggesting that the ugliness of the princess's appearance was the only reason why Huo Xin dared not accept the princess's love. She did not hesitate to confuse Huo Xin with demon. When the princess tempted Huo Xin with Xiao Wei's skin and first experienced the pleasure of the body, she began to believe in Xiao Wei's beautiful power. At this time, Sirius is approaching the desire to get married, Huo Xin tries to fight alone to redeem love by death. At the critical moment, she was rescued by Princess Jing, which greatly stimulated Huo Xin. He understands what love is, to be together in the name of love, even if it is to die together, that is the true meaning of love. The farewell to death dramatically changed the attitudes of the two women. Xiao Wei's relationship with the princess changed from seduction and coercion to conspiracy. Huo Xin blinded his eyes when he learned the truth of their heart-to-skin exchange, and tried to trade his heart for the princess's heart. Princess's determination to die for love, Huoxin's courage to fight for sincerity, Xiao Wei's endeavor to change her fate, will finally produce miracles at the moment of solar eclipse.
I really like this movie, including the topic, plot, characters. Princess jing has a fervent heart which can drive away the coldness. It symbolizes that princess jing was a warm emotions and inside, when jing was young, she was attacked by black bear, which was a great harm for her childhood, and I think the black bear means desire. In the movie, the Snow in the background symbolized the purity young girl, it’s a part of injury is the face, which symbolized dignity. The golden mask symbolized the bright appearance, and pretend, the scars on her face represent her inside of injury. The temptation from Xiaowei shows the pursuit of matter. For example, when people can’t get affection and love, they go to the second place and pursue satisfaction of material.
The Exchange of skin and hearts between princess Jing and Xiaowei represents the exchange of material and spirit. The Princess admires that the monster can have a beautiful appearance to attract men, while the monster admires that human beings don’t need to know the bitterness of extreme cold and eating people's hearts. These are two kinds of people who admire each other. They want to be each other, so there is such a story of skin exchange.
I wanna change the end of this movie, I feel strange that the ending says Xiaowei's soul merges with Jing's body and Jing's face is healed in the process. Xiaowei and jing shouldn’t be merge together, human is human, demon is demon, if they merge together, what it is? Human or demon? By watching movie “ painted skin” in my perspective, this movie proclaimed that what love is, to be together as the name of love, even if they die together, that is the true meaning of love, not someone’s beautiful appearance.
