For 27 years, every day and night I have been looking forward to the autumn water, and I have not seen it coming!
Therefore, at zero o'clock on April 20, 2023, when it is officially released in major domestic theaters, the whole network will boil!
There were cheers, there were screams, there was blood, there were tears.
Once its phrase "see you in the national competition" made many people wait for a whole youth!
Until we were pinched into various ordinary characters by the years and life, lost our childhood dreams and hobbies, as well as the blood and youth we once had, and rushed to all corners of the city all day long, busy with three meals a day.
Its appearance has awakened our youth memories again, so that many people can't help but burst into tears when they walk into the theater.
And it is the "Slam Dunk" movie that belongs to the youth of the post-70s, post-80s, and even post-90s.
Kaede Rukawa, Hanamichi Sakuragi, Takeshi Akagi, Shou Mitsui, Ryota Miyagi, the "Five Tigers of Shonbei" on the big screen, no matter how the years change, still shine in the depths of our youth.
However, the release of this big movie has caused many netizens to question and discuss.
The point of doubt is the male protagonist Yoshida Miyagi.
As we all know, whether it is the manga version or the TV version, the author focuses on the handsome and talented Kaede Rukawa and the miracle-creating Sakuragi Hanamichi.
This is followed by captain Takeshi Akagi, defender Mitsui Toshi, and Ryota Miyagi, who no one noticed.
Therefore, some former manga fans and anime fans can't figure out why the protagonist of the movie version is not the hot-blooded genius teenager Sakuragi Hanamichi or the handsome Kaede Rukawa, but the mediocre Miyagi Ryota?
The author adapted it like this, is it a surprise or a failure?
It was not until she watched "Slam Dunk" in its entirety in the theater that Sister Yu really understood the author's intentions and found the final answer to this topic!
Why was he obsessed with Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi back then
When I was young, I watched "Slam Dunk" with my friends, and my favorite ones were Kaede Rukawa and Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Because Liuchuan Feng is simply a rich and handsome man.
The family conditions are extremely superior, and his appearance is a beautiful man with a top one.
Therefore, he can be confident, he can be arrogant, he can gallop on the court, he can stand out from the crowd, and enjoy everyone's attention, appreciation and envy.
On campus, such a man with an average style is basically an unreachable noble "prince"-like existence.
Every boy wants to be like him. And every girl also wants to have a boyfriend like him.
It is precisely because the reality is too skinny, so we put our dissatisfaction with life and expectations for the future on the flawless Rukawa Kaede, indulged in him, fell by him, and even expected a high starting point like him.
And what about Sakuragi Hanamichi?
He is simply a genius with super understanding and no teacher.
In terms of playing basketball, his bouncing power, speed, endurance and other qualities are very accessible.
Therefore, a Rukawa Kaede who throws ordinary people out of a big way by virtue of his origin and appearance, and a genius-level Sakuragi Hanamichi who relies on his spiritual mind and talent in basketball and study,
Who can not envy, not love, and not want to be what they are?
People have a strong mentality, because origin cannot be determined, appearance can not be determined, and their own ability is always lacking, so we will always like or envy those who are stronger than us.
It is precisely because of this that Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi became our idols when we were teenagers.
But time has changed, whether it is the author Inoue Yuhiko, or those boys and girls who were obsessed with the "Five Tigers of Xiangbei", they have become the most ordinary and ordinary adults in the polishing of the years.
It is getting farther and farther away from the Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi that we worship, and closer and closer to the ordinary and mediocre Miyagi Ryoda.
Why is Miyagi Ryota deeply rooted in the hearts of the people now?
There is a song that sings like this, "I don't know what the song is like when I first hear it, but I am already the person in the song when I hear it again!" ”
The big movie version of "Slam Dunk" is also the truth, which of them are we most like today?
In fact, the big movie version chooses the less conspicuous Miyagi Ryota as the main perspective to tell the story, but it shows the special angle and the adapted human materiality.
Because, compared to the deviance of Sakuragi Hanamichi, compared to the talent of Kaede Rukawa, the 168cm Miyagi Ryota is too ordinary, too ordinary, and too easy to ignore.
He matches the ball for everyone in the Xiangbei team every day, organizes attacks, and is almost a small transparent existence.
But it is this insignificant, seemingly "ordinary and ordinary" little person who is most of us in real life, even Yuhiko Inoue himself.
We worked hard, we fought, we struggled, and we did almost everything we could to reach the starting point of Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi.
This is the cruel reality, and it is also a true portrayal of the helplessness and powerlessness of ordinary little people.
In the film, it also truly restores Miyagi Ryota's original family, and those growing up that make people recall a little poignant.
He is the younger brother who is accused by his parents every day of being inferior to his brother; He is the bad boy who thinks he makes his mother angry every day; He is a maverick and bullied poor student in school.
All kinds of labels and shots outline an ordinary teenager who is incomparably real, incomparably vivid, and easy for people to substitute and empathize with in reality.
Yes, where in the world are there so many talented teenagers? Where are there so many cherry blossom hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede?
Most of them are Tetsuhan like Miyagi Ryota who has no talent, only enthusiasm and hard work.
In the film, how did Miyagi Ryoda, who is not tall and has average talent, break through the shackles of growth, experience family pain, and finally grow into the next captain of Xiangbei in stress, dreams, and labor pains?
Such a plot setting is quite interesting!
And this is the amazing thing about Yuhiko Inoue, a highly talented master painter, adapting the film version.
Why did Inoue Yuhiko choose Ryota Miyagi as the protagonist
In addition to the factors mentioned above by Sister Yue, there are three reasons for Yuhiko Inoue to unfold the story represented by Miyagi!
First, Miyagi Ryota is too similar to the author Yuhiko Inoue.
Whether it is Inoue's "Earrings" for Miyagi or the image, personality, character and life history of the two shown in the big movie, Miyagi Ryota is almost a realistic portrayal of Inoue Yuhiko.
Inoue was divorced from his parents when he was a child, and he grew up with his mother in his grandfather's household; Miyagi in "Earrings" also grew up in a single-parent family, his brother died in a shipwreck, and the earrings were given by his first love girlfriend Ayako.
If we say, Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi represent the youthful mentality of Mr. Yuhiko Inoue who created passionately from the age of 23 to 29.
Then, what Miyagi Ryota represents is that he has experienced all the vicissitudes and has a mature mentality of life experience and deep thinking.
Second, Inoue hopes for breakthroughs and innovations.
If any classic work is left intact and shot according to the original, it will inevitably lose its freshness.
What's more, after 27 years, fans have almost turned over and over the extremely classic "Slam Dunk", and all kinds of details, characters, and plots are familiar and clear.
Therefore, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" very much needs to use new bottles of old wine, with novel settings and elements to meet the depth and interest of entertainment.
And Inoue certainly does not want to repeat himself for this cherished classic, limited to the story structure of the original manga.
Creation always has to be new and sincere!
Change someone as the protagonist, the fun is there, the freshness is also there, although it is still the same taste, but it feels like changing to a beautiful new dress that is more acceptable to people, and the technique is unique, which is a must.
Third, the role of Miyagi Ryota has inheritance significance and a global view.
He may seem small, but in fact, he is the bond connecting the players, and his influence is not only on the field, but also off the field, overseeing the overall situation, starting and connecting, which is crucial.
After analyzing this kind of reason, Sister Yu also understood the real reason why "Slam Dunk" adapted the protagonist into Miyagi Ryota.
In fact, this can be regarded as responding to the sentence mentioned above by Sister Yu, who does not understand "Slam Dunk" when he is young, and he has already cried thousands of lines when he reads it.
After thousands of sails, in order to dream of living seriously, we can only live as Miyagi Ryoda with ordinary qualifications, ordinary appearance, and ordinary family!
And in our time, youth was ignorant, thinking that by relying on a sense of sincerity and a passion for blood, we could make dreams no longer far away.
But after the polishing of the years and the critical impact of life, we found that the youth of the "Five Tigers of Xiangbei" is our youth, and the sorrows and joys of the "Five Tigers of Xiangbei" are just a silhouette of our lives.
You can only remember, you can only remember, and you can never go back to the past.
But this is not a pessimistic and negative state of mind, but has more inspirational elements.
Even the ordinary Miyagi Ryota is trying to change himself and challenge himself just to become the best version of himself.
Even if you fight for your dreams, even if you can only face a disappointing and painful fiasco in the end.
So what reason do we have to give up and back down?
As long as you let the youth burn freely, there is no complaint or regret!
Therefore, after watching "Slam Dunk", we have already become fathers and mothers, and we who have been frustrated by the years and life can understand the true intention of Inoue Yuhiko.
He makes us nostalgic for the once blood-boiling youth that has passed away, and also allows us to experience the thorny life at this moment, and let us rekindle the courage not to retreat and not give up, face one difficulty after another, and live seriously.
At this point, Sister Yu also seems to understand more why among the 17 movies in the May 1st file, "Slam Dunk" can still rely on feelings to make the audience full, and rely on blood to "ride the dust" in the film market.
Because, youth is always more precious than a movie ticket!
At present, as of 10 a.m. on April 27, this film has only been released in just 8 days, and it has already exceeded the 420 million box office mark, is it still far from 1 billion box office?
