Really good other than the one scene when the boyfriend & girl are attacked because it showed way too much,highly recommend skipping that part,should’ve just shown outside of trailer & then had her running out. Anyways, really liked how Cory didn’t choose the high road & went for revenge as you would expect someone to do in that particular situation. Plus glad they brought attention to what’s happening in real life with indigenous people. Need more movies like this for sure to bring awareness.

Summary:
The story takes place in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. In order to save the souls in the East, a generation of eminent monk Tang Monk (played by Fan He) received the support of the Tang Dynasty king. Under the escort of a large army of soldiers and horses, he went to the Buddhist land in the West to obtain the Tripitaka Sutra. Needless to say, the journey was rough and arduous, and there were also monsters and spirits in the caves and mountains who were ready to eat Tang Seng. The sky was clear just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye there was flying sand and rocks. It turned out that the monster Demon King Black Wind cast a spell, causing Tang Monk and his followers to be separated, and the monsters fought for Tang Monk even more. Tang Seng fled all the way and was exhausted. Finally, he met the Monkey King (played by Yue Hua), Sun Wukong, who had been suppressed here for five hundred years in the Five Elements Mountains. Wukong received the guidance of Bodhisattva Guanyin and promised to protect Monk Tang from studying in the West. With the help of his highly skilled martial arts apprentice, Tang Seng finally calmed down for the time being.
During the next journey, they encountered Zhu Bajie (played by Peng Peng), Monk Sha (played by Tian Chen) from Gaolaozhuang, and the Little White Dragon from Bailongtan. The magnificent story of Journey to the West was officially staged...
so you may have noticed if you follow my blog that i'm a bit of a movie buff. i just finished Wind River (2017) and although there are some really rough and triggering scenes, it was one of the best movies i think i've watched in the last 5 years. 4.5/5 stars if i'm grading. tremendous movie and it makes me even more sad about what happened to Jeremy Renner because he is an incredibly talented actor.
Okay Wind River just ripped my heart out and stomped all over it with the searing talent of the better half of the Twilight cast and a handful of marvel and teen wolf actors lmao guess I'll go cry myself to sleep
This was a gem of a film. I hadn’t heard of it before but I was searching for something to watch on prime and this was suggested to me. Good plot, great twists and overall an enjoyable film. Highly recommend.
