Bai She II: Qing She Jie Qi

Nothing half as funny as finishing this movie on netfl** and learning that it's a second part... But! Even without seeing the first, I understood the story well, which I guess is a great job done from the script writers because all concepts were clear as day. So there's no need to worry even if you have very little knowledge in Chinese culture (like me, lol)
The characters were all interesting in their own way, maybe if I had seen the first movie I would have noticed more character development.
And the art is defo cinema worth so if you can, I recommend grabbing a high ... quality video!
Despite being whole two hours long it managed to keep my attention captured and that alone is a huge compliment.

As someone who hasn't watched the first movie, and in fact didn't know there was another movie (jee, thanks Netflix!), I have to say I enjoyed this ride plenty! The art is great and the movie can be a standalone.

8/10 would recommend! Just try to watch the first movie before, even though it's not necessary.

Having said that, WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD:





...


HOLY SH- Without context of the first one I KEPT getting tricked by this movie! In the first 1/3 of the movie I shipped no-name guy with Verta just because I thought that what Verta was meant to do was understand her sister's will. Blanca loved a weak guy for his heart, and Verta resented this because her sister kept getting hurt. So when Simon appeared I was like: Yep, this is the plot isn't it? Cause you know, Simon: strong, kinda bad guy. And No-name guy: weak but sweet, heroic guy. Predictable enough?

However I was wrong, the more time it passed the more I was convinced that no-name guy was Blanca and I needed to stop the shipping boat, BUT THEN UNO REVERSE Again.
Suddenly no-name guy 'isn't' Blanca and is just wearing a mask.
BUT OH NO, In the end HE IS BLANCA'S REINCARNATION.

BRO WHY ARE YOU PLAYING WITH ME LIKE THAT. Why can't I ever predict Chinese movies? ( Disney is seriously way too predictive. Kudos to you, movie).

Anyways, the story was really touching because both sisters just wanted to find each other! :')

8/10 would recommend! Just try to watch the first movie because it'll provide some context and avoid some confusion.

Green Snake is the second part of the movie white snake but can act as a stand-alone. The art for this movie is just as beautiful as the first one and I loved the plot of this movie equally. So if you are someone who wants to watch a movie with a good plot and art this is definitely it.

Unlike the first movie, this movie follows the story of the sister (of a white snake aka Blanca), but it follows after the events of the first movie. I loved the character development done in the movie and every scene is so well done and directed ... that it's hard to watch it and not enjoy it.

Loved the art and everything and I hope they make the next part to it as well... that's all I can say without giving away any spoilers.

I highly suggest watching this movie after watching the first part and you will enjoy it more!
