《Da Sheng Rises》 is a domestic animated film based on the theme of Journey to the West.The film does not keep the story on the familiar surface of seeking scriptures, but instead puts its perspective on the hidden thread behind the journey to the west: the great sage moves forward, seemingly facing external demons, dilemmas and obstacles, but what really needs to be broken through is the shadow entangled with himself deep in his heart.The "Rise" in the film's title is not a simple return of strength, but more like a spiritual rebirth from confusion and burden to standing up again.

The great sage in the story is no longer just an all-powerful mythical hero.He carries the past, but is also pushed forward by choice; he wants to protect his fellow travelers, but also endures the double torture of fate and self.The film uses awakening, redemption, and rebirth as the main emotional clues, allowing this Journey to the West character to regain room for growth in the new narrative.For viewers who are familiar with the image of Sun Wukong, the film's appeal lies in its attempt to answer a question closer to the character's heart: how does a hero become himself again when his own shadow overtakes him.

Judging from the material presentation, Da Sheng Rises continues the oriental visual temperament common in Chinese fantasy films.The golden fire wheels, dark silhouettes of characters, and the images of the Great Sage, Liu Qi, Ah Mo, Bifang, and Bo Xun in the character posters all point to a more mature world of Journey to the West.The film is suitable for audiences who pay attention to domestic animation, myth adaptations and Journey to the West themes, and is also suitable for audiences who like to see classic characters reinterpreted.
