Telling a heartwarming story about the mutual achievements of two "problem" men with very different classes, the American version can be said to be a re-interpretation of the French original by a group of actors. The structure and main line are basically the same, and even the details are not changed much! Of course, the actors in the American version have also done their homework, and are more lively and entertaining. The part that should laugh can make people laugh, and the part that should touch can move people. However, no matter how good the copy is, it is only a high imitation product and lacks innovation. Perhaps, this is the reason why there is a certain gap between the American version and the French version. ps: More than 4 minutes have been deleted from our mainland release version, including a paragraph involving the word "sexual organs". . . .

In the storyline, the American version is 80% similar to the original version, so there is no obvious which is good or bad in the plot and character performance, especially for the role of the white rich man, Lao Bai and the original version are basically a performance mode. But the difference with the original version is that the story of the US version is very full. This kind of "fullness" leaves no room for the audience to calm down and think. And the most important point is that the French version of the soundtrack is too classic!
