I accidentally saw "Assassin's Creed" yesterday and read it. The first time I watched it was just released not long ago, and it was released in 2017. At that time, I played a game and fell in love with the character "Assassin".
This is not a movie about assassin, it is about the struggle between unity and freedom.
Assassin's Creed
1.
What is unity? In ancient times, the war that ended the war and brought peace was unity, and what was freedom? If the absolute legal terms are unity, freedom is beyond these terms.
"When others blindly follow the truth, remember that everything is empty. When others are bound by morality and law, remember that everything is allowed."
Freedom and the Eagle
But the legal terms are some of the rules and regulations that those who want to end the chaos of war have set up for "peace".
2.
"The blood of nobles flowed in his body. "
The heroine Sophia in the movie studies genetic memory. Why did she find the male lead Callum Lynch to do her experiment instead of just one?
The Confucianism talks about "righteousness" also emphasizes the importance of bloodline to a certain extent.
Lynch in the movie voluntarily links his ancestor, assassin Aguira through Animus for the third time. Lynch is substituted into the body of his ancestor Anguilla (without his own consciousness, and the behavior of the real world is synchronized with Anguilla). Because of the ancestor's "leap of faith" in the virtual world, Animus, the connection between the virtual past and reality machine Animus has malfunctioned. The will of his ancestor Anguilla stays in the mind of Lynch in the real world. Since then, Lynch has become the assassin Anguilla and acts according to Anguilla's assassin belief.
Assassin Anguilla
We can call this phenomenon, Drace awakening.
The conversation between male protagonist Lynch and his father:
"Eden Apple contains the genetic code of free will, and they will destroy us with it"
"I'm going to find it and watch them ruin you with my own eyes, and your creed"
"You can't destroy Assassin's Creed, it's in your blood. The Eden Apple is more important than anything else, and your mother died to protect it."
"She has no choice, but I have."
From this passage, we can see that Lynch does not believe in the so-called ancestor Assassin's Creed, but because of the awakening of bloodlines, the genes contained in the blood made him understand his mission. This shows the importance of bloodline.
In addition, when he was young, his father told him to escape alone, "You must live in the shadows", and one of the assassin's creeds, "We bow to you."We are assassins in the darkness and serving the light," to some extent, this also confirms that Lynch is an assassin. That is, an assassin, he must follow the creed of an assassin!
Of course, you can also say that this is a coincidence. But there exists in one of the relationship between accident and necessity, and accident is inevitable.
Finally, a character in the movie explains to the assassin: Do you know the origin of the word assassin? It originates from an Arabic word, people who are addicted to numbing, they are abandoned by society, they steal things and kill people without blinking, people ridicule them, there are rebels, there are fools and addicts, but they are all smart people. They use this reputation to hide their belief in adhering to principles, and even surpass their powerful enemies. With this, I admire them.
