Recently, the movie "Lion Boy" has been very hotly discussed on the Internet, so I also went to the cinema yesterday to watch it, and now I will share with you the thoughts brought by the online discussion and watching the movie.
First, my personal understanding of the content of the film
A record of the growth of a small person, from the nameless step by step to prove themselves, step by step to achieve the dream, so that in the future life because there is no regret and can be more optimistic to face.
Second, the point that the movie attracted me (only I am very honored if there is a similarity)
A few waste materials from muddy nightmares, gradually found their own life goals, and gradually had a responsibility, from a nameless youth who did nothing, to a real man who shouldered a heavy burden, which is very inspirational and worthy of my study and reflection.
The protagonist Ah Juan, from the nameless, to find their own goals, gradually strive to achieve the goal, prove that they have completed their dreams, let me see some traces of my growth over the years from his body, although my living state and family conditions are different from him, but I still found my resonance, let me unconsciously substitute myself into it.
Although my environment of growth is different from the protagonist in the movie, it is also the blood of a teenager that I have had, and the way I worked hard to chase my dreams when I was a teenager, I unconsciously brought it into it, remembering the scene when I used to fight for the goal and train.

Third, the online discussion and some of the thoughts that I brought after watching the film myself
There must be a picture of "mmy", and even because of some discussion on the Internet, I feel that I pay more attention to this picture when watching the movie, but combined with animation, combined with the plot, combined with the scene at that time, I think it is quite normal.
I want to say this: Who hasn't been caught squinting when taking pictures?
To say that the old-fashioned well, there are indeed old-fashioned places, after watching the front, you can probably guess what will happen later, but are there still fewer movies with old-fashioned plots? Isn't it all routine?
I think: from another point of view, the storyline is old-fashioned, it is all old routines, doesn't it make us reduce the time to think when we watch? Referring to some so-called blockbusters in beautiful countries, are not many of them old routines, new bottles of old wine? Of course, of course, we certainly hope that domestic films are good in all aspects of the new standard.
Some people say that the lion dance in reality has such a thing? Where is this dance? How can there be such a game? It is said that the main creative team does not understand lion dance, and did not ask a professional lion dance team to guide.
I would like to retort: what is the lion dance like, and who is the only authentic southern lion? Who can say?! There are countless genres of Southern Lion in the Liangguang area alone, which one is authentic?
Moreover, out of the two Cantonese areas who knows what is the authentic dragon dance and lion dance? Folklore varies from place to place, who can cover all places with one routine and one norm? Maybe some local celebrations must do the action, but in another place may be taboo.
Also, in different places, the atmosphere of dragons and lions is different, and there are many places where people have a very vague concept of lion dance, which is all plausible. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, who can say that they are authentic?
Everyone's impression of the lion dance is more from Jet Li's movie "Huang Feihong's Lion King Battle", and the scene of the competition in "Lion Boy" let me see a lot of shadows in the "Lion King Battle" movie, can not say exactly the same, but the routine is eight or nine inseparable from ten, it is also very exaggerated, a look to know that the reality is not like this.
When watching the movie, I paid special attention to this content, didn't see the movie to give us a hint of how long they practiced?
I would like to say: 1, this is a movie, there is a clear element of exaggeration; 2, the competition can have up to half a year or even half a year for them to learn and train. And so many movies and novels, aren't all small people finding the grandmaster and then opening and hanging up in an instant? The exaggeration of the film made me gladly accept it because I knew it was not reality.
In the summer vacation of my sophomore year in 2007, I was fortunate to be taken by a teacher, and i went to Beijing Sport University with a student to learn the lion dance (North Lion) dragon dance for 20 days, after graduating from college and returning to my hometown, I brought up a lion dance team in our local area from the new, and formed a primary school dragon and lion interest class, a high school dragon and lion club, a secondary school dragon and lion team, etc. Unconsciously, I have been in contact with dragons and lions for 15 years, and I have been doing dragon and lion things in my hometown for more than ten years.
What makes me think a lot is, in addition to interest, what reason can people stay and practice dragons and lions? Why come to training? Why go to the show? Why? Just to get others to praise: "Well done!" "?
Didn't the salted fish in the movie give up the lion dance for survival reasons?
In reality, I have good family conditions, you don't have to think about too many things, and the dragon lion also made up a lot of extras at the beginning, is this something that makes others willing to insist? If a project doesn't survive, how can it continue to exist? Rely on a breath of fairy breath.
As I said earlier, if a project can't support people, how can it develop?
I would like to say that perhaps the situation in some economically developed places will be better, but in places with poor economies, the survival of dragons and lions is still a bit difficult. After all, to come out to perform, first of all, you should have a strong foundation, but this foundation needs time to train, many people are concerned about making money, but the cost behind making money has not been considered at all.
I now bring it in the school, and the staff also says that they can accumulate some of it, but what about the people who are already working? Where to train? Who wants to spend so much time and so hard to spend so many days training? Pay time, energy, and physical strength for things that you may not be able to do in the future? Do dragons and lions really make money now? Or can the current socio-economic level really support the cultivation of dragons and lions?
It is not unreasonable to say that people are poor and rich in martial arts. The real conditions at home are very poor, and few people will choose music, sports, and art to learn, because the cost is really large.
For example, in the movie, the protagonist gritted his teeth and fought hard, only to have a chance to show himself, and then there was no ability to fight again, and there was a very heavy burden of survival there.
Conclusion
I don't want to evaluate too much here, just write some of my own feelings, after all, I don't know how good the movie is, and I can't say that the movie is not good, but I will continue to work hard, continue to step by step, go my own way, and strive to make the future regret-free.
