Be a lion in the new year!

On June 65438+1 October1day, 2022, my boyfriend and I went to see the movie The Lion Boy. At first I wanted to watch manslaughter 2, but my boyfriend didn't agree. He said that the score of manslaughter 2 was too low, so he chose the lion boy. I resisted at first, because the name sounded like a cliche bloody movie, and it was also a comic book. However, I think the score of Douban is quite high, so I went to see it anyway. After reading it, I think douban is worth 8.5 points!

(The following involves some spoilers, please don't watch if you care. )

In fact, there is nothing special about the overall plot of the film. In a village in Shunde, Guangdong Province, a weak chicken learned lion dance from a teacher and finally won the provincial lion dance competition.

The style and expression of the whole film and some ingenious designs make the film a lot of points. The first is the picture of the film. Although the film is a 2D animation, the scenes in the film are all beautiful, including the natural scenery and customs of rural Guangdong. When the little lion met the girl for the first time, the kapok all over the mountain was particularly beautiful. The props for the lion dance in the film are also very beautiful, and the hair and beard of the lion's head are lifelike.

In the plot design, there are two scenes that particularly touched me and made me cry. One is that when a teenager is a teacher, he is stimulated by his master. He read aloud several poems by Li Bai: "One day, I will ride the wind and waves, sail straight up and cross the deep sea;" Since God has given talents, let them be used! , spin one thousand silver, all back! ; Go out laughing, we are Artemisia people! " These poems are familiar in our primary school or middle school, and have long been desensitized in our minds, making it difficult to appreciate their truth and strength. But when the teenager shouted out these poems, my eyes burst into tears. In this world, what sounds the most watery is the truth. Douban has such a comment, "What a fool! Which fool can understand Li Bai these days? " ? It's great that some people still want to believe in poetry these days. "

Another scene is that a teenager is going to work in Guangzhou because his father is ill. Because his father is ill and needs money, teenagers work several jobs a day and remit all the money they earn to their parents at home. At first, I thought he had given up practicing lion dancing. However, when he was about to leave Guangzhou, he went to the roof to practice lion dancing for the last time. On the wall of the roof, I saw rows of chalk characters "Ma bu, squat, lion dance ……", and there were many small ticks behind them. It suddenly dawned on me that teenagers never stop practicing, but practice every day and record the number of times they practice. He does several jobs a day. He hurt his foot and his arm. He was black and blue all over because of overwork. But he still gets up early every day and practices lion dancing. Practice in the early morning and start work at sunrise. Seeing this, my eyes filled with tears. We thought there were many geniuses in this world. We think that some people can succeed without blowing off dust. However, the so-called "genius" is how much sweat condenses. Kobe has seen Los Angeles at 4 am, but most of us find it difficult to get up at 8 am.

The ending of the film is also specially designed. The junior lion dance team advanced to the final in the provincial lion dance competition. He successfully completed the pile jumping in the final and reached the finish line. In front of the finish line, stands a tall Optimus Prime. The master once told him that Optimus Prime was not used for jumping, but for warning the lion dance. One mountain is higher than the other. In the history of lion dance, no one has ever jumped Optimus Prime. When the teenager reached the finish line, he watched Optimus Prime jump. At the beginning of the film, he fell into the water, and the audience thought he had failed. He did fail. No one can jump on Optimus Prime, and he is no exception. If he really pounces, the protagonist's aura will be too heavy, and the movie will look cliche and false. However, although he fell into the water, his lion's head was put on Optimus Prime at the moment when he fell into the water. The hair of the lion's head swayed with the wind and was majestic. The audience is boiling!

I really like this ending. First of all, because it is true, the boy fell into the water, because Optimus Prime is really high, so many lion dancers in history have never jumped on it. Teenagers have just learned lion dancing for a while, so naturally they can't jump up. But this ending also reflects the theme of this film, which is "negation". Black and blue, I can't recognize it! I can't recognize Optimus Prime no matter how tall he is! Master once said that the purpose of Optimus Prime standing there was to warn the lion dancers that one mountain is high and the other is low. However, I don't think I can jump no matter how high the mountain is. Even if I can't dance today, I'll send the lion's head first. I will practice towards the height of Optimus Prime and jump over it one day!

On the first day of 2022, I saw this movie. In the new year, try to be a lion!
