The film was narrated from the point of view of the protagonist, Fang Hongye, on a series of murders at the Shen's Family Fort. Fang begins as an outsider invited to investigate, but soon becomes intricately involved in the case. The story unfolds through his dual perspective as both participant and observer.
The story began by introducing the "Hongye's Notebook", a hand-written notebook that documents peculiar events of the martial arts world, known as Jianghu. Eight pages of the notebook (which later revealed in the story as forgeries) describes a mysterious 'killer butterfly' incident at the Shen's Family Fort. The deaths, including that of the previous fort owner implicated in a tomb robbery, are linked to these butterflies. Decades later, another tomb raider dies in a similar manner, prompting the current fort owner, Shen Qing, to invite Hongye, Tian Feng of the "Seventy-two Smokes" gang, and Qing Yingzi for an investigation. Their arrival triggers more butterfly-related murders, and the situation escalates when Shen Qing himself falls victim to the killer butterflies, causing widespread alarm and urgency to resolve the murders. Shen Qing's wife, however, insists on waiting for the arrival of three brothers, known as the 'Four Phases of Heavenly Thunder,' before taking any action.
It was revealed that six years earlier, Yu Zhen established the Shen's Family Fort to secretly develop an alloy for gun barrels of powerful weapons. After completing the weapon, Yu Zhen orchestrated the butterfly murders (and forged the eight pages of "Hongye's Notebook" mentioned in the beginning of the story) to eliminate rivals and claim dominance in the martial arts world, manipulating Tian Feng to assist him unwittingly.
Tsui Hark's directorial debut is an underground gothic-castle monster movie slasher murder mystery. Easy sell! It's way moodier than I remembered, with the action only breaking out an hour-in with the appearance of the armoured man-eating butterfly mastermind. It's a disappointment that Hark ditched the horror vibes after his first three films because he's damn good at it.
Both books left a lot of questions unanswered about the unsolved murders. Both books were very enjoyable and head scratchers. Only three people know - the victim, the murderer, and God. Nobody is talking.
Fong Hongye (Lau Siu-Ming) is a wandering scholar who writes of his travels to inform the populace. One journey sees him invited to Thunder Castle, where a mysterious string of murders has been taking place at the hands of butterflies. The master of the castle, Qing Shum (Chang Kuo-Chu), hopes that Fong, along with clan leader Tien Lung (Wong Shu-Tong) and lone-wolf Green Shadow (Michelle Yim), can help solve the mystery of the murders and put a stop to the bloodshed.
One aspect of the film that still has me floored, and to some extent scared, is the execution of the butterfly sequences. The usually tantalising winged insects are frightening here as they swarm around their victims and slowly bite them to death. How such scenes were crafted, I have no idea, yet the flood of butterflies that attack en masse makes for an intimidating prospect. The intense close-ups of swollen hands and bloody skin make up some of the more gruesome shots in the film. Convincingly turning such alluring creatures into genuinely threatening death merchants is another surprising area in which the movie succeeds.
Discussion: This book is exceptionally creepy. It opens with Maya/Inara talking to the FBI agents, so we know from the beginning that something big has happened and at least some of the butterflies are safe. Even though the narrative tension has been spoiled, what happens to the kidnapping victims in the flashbacks is still terrifying. The Gardener is a wealthy older man who kidnaps teenaged girls, tattoos butterfly wings on their backs, and imprisons them in a soundproof atrium called the garden. He also renames them. Maya is the name that the Gardner gives to the narrator; Inara is the name she gave herself.
Homero Gómez Gonzalez, a long-time advocate for the migratory insects, went missing in late January and was found dead on Wednesday. He managed the El Rosario butterfly sanctuary in Michoacán state, a lifeline for millions of butterflies that make the journey there each year from Canada and the U.S.
A murder mystery is unfolding in one of the world's most mysterious wildlife spots after two nature activists who worked at Mexico's El Rosario monarch butterfly sanctuary were discovered slain just days apart, authorities said.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which placed the El Rosario butterfly sanctuary on its World Heritage List of unique and diverse places in 2008, expressed \"deep sadness and profound concern\" over the slayings and called for a thorough investigation.
Every October, around the Day of the Dead Mexican holiday, millions of monarch butterflies migrate to the butterfly reserve, some from as far away as Canada, to nest in the sanctuary's oyamel fir trees.

On Jan. 27, two days before Gómez was found, Raúl Hernández also went missing. On Feb. 3, seven days after he was disappeared, the 44-year-old's body was found severely beaten on the top of a hill in the El Campanario monarch butterfly sanctuary. Hernández was a part-time tour guide at the local monarch butterfly sanctuary in Michoacán state and, as with Gómez, Hernandez's family said he'd received death threats leading up to his murder.
In Guerrero state, Coca-Cola and Pepsi plants had to close because of extortion. In Guanajuato, cartels fighting over oil pipelines have cause an average of 14 murders a day since the beginning of 2020.
Migrating monarch butterfly populations are on the decline for several reasons, including illegal logging in Mexican forests. Monarchs inhabited only 6.12 acres in December 2017, an 86% drop since 1996. The climate crisis is also a major factor in the decline of the butterflies, as warmer weather confuses butterflies waiting for cold weather to start their annual migrations.
"The Henry case hasn't even landed on the DA's desk and already we have our next victim. Another white female, beaten and dumped in the grass at the end of Hill Street. Details are scarce until we see the crime scene, but it sounds as though there are superficial similarities to the Dahlia and Henry murders. Captain Donnelly will expect speed and discretion."
The deaths of Gómez and Hernández are a reminder of why Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries for environmental defenders. In 2019, organizations including the Irish NGO Front Line Defenders recorded the murders of 24 human rights advocates, most of them focused on environmental and territorial issues.
Every year since 2004, with support from WWF and the Mexican telecom company Telcel, the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has monitored the forest area occupied by the hibernating colonies. Additionally, an extensive tri-national monitoring system records the sites the monarchs fly to when they migrate to Mexico. In the past 20 years, the monitoring has registered a decreasing trend in butterfly occupancy.
Oh! I definitely like the idea that the FL's mother killed the ML's mother for inspiration. I too was thinking that the killer was wearing something in the shape of a butterfly, or even had a tattoo. I wouldn't be surprised if the two families were connected by this murder. As for my theory, maybe the ML's mother found out about the abuse (maybe she worked for the family, as they seemed like they were well off, given the fancy castle-like structure we see her in during the first episode), and so either the mother or father killed her. Maybe even unintentionally!
I don't know if anyone noticed, but in the first episode remember the man that was about to dubble suicide with his daughter was found dead that very same day. Remember the mc went back to do something. She left an autograph for the kid but just maybe she killed the dad... Do you guys maybe think that mc represents the butterfly and maybe is a murderer?
It's also a hint to the viewer that "what you see isn't reality." A good example of this is in one of the last scenes of the drama "Extraordinary You". A butterfly lands on the heroine and she smiles at it, suggesting that the whole happy ending we witnessed might just be in her head.
I want to add the known symbolism of butterflies in general. Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life. There is no doubt the butterfly has significant meanings to us.
Through heartfelt stories, we have heard butterflies symbolizing the passing of a loved one, or life struggles that people have endured to emerge as a better person. We have heard stories from cancer fighters and survivors, people who have dealt with mental breakdowns, heartache, and drug addictions. Butterflies have also been a symbol for celebrations, weddings, life, and our journeys.
In mystery japanese manga i read, butterfly usually symbolize as missing soul and tragedy. By looking the brother see happy think in colorful way, and dreaming buttefly in dark tones, maybe he seen her mother killer while he was hiding in some dark place. I suspect maybe FL mother have a butterfly collection in her room. With father like that, and mother who being detective & murder writer, and also her words in the beginning of Episode, gives clues that her mother is not 'a normal' mother. I can't wait who will this mother will show later in this drama.
