Journey to the West was a classic Chinese martial arts novel written by Wu Chengen. If it was to be made into a movie or TV series, it had to be adapted from the original work and comply with Chinese laws and cultural norms. If the film was completely based on the original work, it might face some scrutiny and restrictions because the original work described some sensitive content such as religion, race, violence, etc. However, it should be noted that adaptation and creation are part of artistic creation. As long as the spirit and core of the original work are maintained and some sensitive content is appropriately deleted or adjusted, the work can be more suitable for the appreciation and acceptance of modern society. Therefore, if Journey to the West was filmed according to the original work, whether it could pass the review would depend on the adaptation and creation level of the film or TV series, as well as the attitude and standards of the review department.
