The 24th Shanghai International Film Festival will screen the sequel to the film "Stray Cat Bob" "Stray Cat Bob 2: Bob's Gift" will be released nationwide on August 6. Directed by Charles Martin Smith and starring Luke Tridwick, the film follows the last holiday street performer James and Bob the Stray Cat spent on the streets and one of bob's toughest times with him.
In the latest final poster for Stray Cat Bob 2: Bob's Gift, the turmeric Bob wears a Christmas hat and a red and white scarf and stands on James's shoulder as always to serve as his "strongest backing", while James is covered in snow and the red guitar strap on his shoulder is slightly worn, indicating the ups and downs he is about to experience. The film continues the inspirational theme of the previous work and the heart-warming tone of people's affection, telling an episode in the memoirs of the protagonist James, the story of one man, one cat and one guitar, showing true and simple emotions in the heart and heart.
The previous novel, Bob the Stray Cat, is based on the novel of the same name and is based on the real experiences of the original author James Bowen. James Bowen grew up with his parents divorced, slept on the street for 10 years and contracted a drug addiction, in the embarrassment of life, trying to quit drugs, he met the stray cat Bob, in the company of Bob successfully quit drugs to rewrite his fate. These stories were published by James as novels, translated into more than 30 languages, and sold more than ten million copies worldwide. The film also set off a "cat fever" when it landed in British theaters. The film premiered in China during the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival in 2017, and later met with the general public as a Huimin screening film at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival. Since 2018, the Shanghai International Film Festival has launched huimin screenings, so that excellent films at home and abroad have more ways to meet the audience. The Screening of Huimin at the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival was held at seven screening sites across the city, with a total of 27 films, including "Bob the Stray Cat", with a total of more than 60 screenings in 10 days.
It is worth mentioning that the "actor" who "played" the stray cat Bob in these two films is the stray cat in reality, but unfortunately, it died in a car accident in June 2020, and the movie "Stray Cat Bob 2: Bob's Gift" has thus become its "last gift" to fans. In the film, there is such a bridge: a cute little boy from China gives Bob a red panda scarf in the cold wind, expresses a sincere goodwill from China through a child, and also leaves the warmth of this love for the whole world in Bob's final screen work.
James, who is accompanied by Bob, seems to have the courage to cut through the thorns, and can bravely stand up and continue to move forward in the face of any blow. This companionship has ignited a light in James's life, and it will also bring emotion and strength to the audience through the film.
