It seems that in every youth drama there is always such a teacher similar to Bo Le, especially in such a hot-blooded sports theme of youth movies, there will probably always be a role like Coach Ansai and Akagi Haruko in "Slam Dunk Master". They are the Bole and goddess that every young person longs to meet on the road of growth, and they are also the goal for most people's youth. So friendship, love, teacher-student love has become the standard of this type of blood sports movie, the protagonists after experiencing a series of setbacks, will inevitably grow up, complete a perfect transformation of youth. Friends, lovers, teachers are an important auxiliary to help the protagonists complete this transformation, which is also the characteristics of the second "Occupy the King", and characters such as Lao Wu and Zhu Xiaoman can only simply and directly interpret what is "no blood, no youth" in such sports-themed movies!
"Growth" is a topic that every type of youth movie always pays attention to, the growth of each teenager always has to be tempered, the road to the growth of teenagers is destined not to be smooth, and the unavoidable pain in the journey of life has become the weight of life that must be endured. This is not the case, and so is every partner in the team. This is also the foothold of the second "Cup of Life". The death of Lao Wu will undoubtedly become something that this group of enthusiastic young people will not forget in their lives, and this will also become the cornerstone for teenagers to complete the first transformation of youth.
When we're watching basketball, what are we watching? The "Shake Over God" trilogy answers this question. Putting aside the cloak of youth movies, the "Shake Over God" series finally presents the growth of a group of young people who love street basketball. Following them, the audience can relive their own adolescence, those things that seem familiar, and even want to do but dare not do. Therefore, this film is not only friendly to the group who love street ball, but also breaks the inherent audience circle and reproduces a collective youth carnival. In the era of homogenization of online movie content, the production of such a bloody online movie reflects the bold attempt and unique vision of the producer Wan He Tianyi on new themes.
