God of Trident: YangJian (2022)
Yang Jian, a young man born with a vision, has suffered from the coldness and discrimination of the villagers since he was a child. One day, however, Yang Jian’s mother, Fairy Yunhua, dies while fighting to protect the lives of the world’s enemies. After experiencing all this, Yang Jian’s daily life becomes so painful that he learns that the only way to defeat the gods and find the truth and save his mother is to open the seal and regain his divinity. Yang Jian is guided around by his companion, the deer robe, to find a way to do this, and finally learns under the tutelage of the Jade Emperor. After going through the ordeal of dying and then being born, Yang Jian eventually opens his vision to the heavenly eye of divine punishment, and his cultivation grows by leaps and bounds, taking in the snarling dogs, defeating the gods, and finally attaining nirvana, becoming a saint in the flesh and sealing the gods in one battle.

Thanks for the memories!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
