Because of the controversy of "squinting eyes", I heard about "Male Lion Boy", because of the high score of Douban 8.3 and high reputation, I watched "Male Lion Boy", but after reading it, I just want to say that even if there is no "squinting" incident, this film is still not worthy of praise.
Because no matter how you look at it, it is just a patchwork imitation of various Zhou Xingchi elements, the main line of "Shaolin Football", the poverty of "Yangtze River Seven", the characters of "Kung Fu", and the shadow of "Journey to the West".
Even the final leap is slightly blunt!
The protagonist A Juan A cat a dog, the name is arbitrary, why should the character shape also be designed to look like a sick cat, monkey, and fat pig?
Coupled with the controversial "squinting eyes", it is really ugly!
Maybe it doesn't involve "insulting China", but the director definitely has a stereotype of poor children, that is, thin like shrimp, fat like a fat pig, stiff limbs and a pair of "dead fish eyes"...
Ah Juan, the heroine of "Shaolin Football" is also called Ah Juan;
Wading through mountains and rivers to find a high person, Xuanzang's sense of déjà vu in "Journey to the West" to find the Buddha scene;
Find opponents before the game, and completely imitate Shaolin Football before the game;
The salted fish couple, together are the charter wife and husband in "Kung Fu", and the separate salted fish master has become Wu Mengda of "Shaolin Football";
The scene of the construction site, as soon as you see it, you think of the scene of Zhou Xingchi working in "Yangtze River No. 7";
Fat pigs are licked by thrown eggs, and Fat Boy Cong frantically grabs eggs in "Shaolin Soccer";
Salted fish, "If you don't have a dream, what is the difference between that and salted fish?", the classic theme of "Shaolin Football".
Then the metamorphosised red dress, the wuji team, the soundtrack and so on...
Tribute or plagiarism, we don't quite understand... Anyway, it's a tribute...
As for finally jumping on "Optimus Prime"...
In the high pile lion dance competition, an Optimus Prime will be erected in front of the contestants. The pile represents the mountain and reminds the contestants to maintain a sense of awe. A mountain is higher than a mountain, and there will always be a mountain that you can't climb.
This is the setting of the film itself, but the film is broken, you savor, does it mean: the protagonist won the game and lost the awe?
I think the champion should be the Infinity Team, according to the rules, even if the protagonist jumps on the "Optimus Prime".
Watching "The Lion Boy" was moved, but I felt that it was because of the tragic core of Stephen Chow's comedy...
As for the film itself, the high score of Douban that cannot be understood...
What do you think?
