"Shaolin Soccer" is a work written, directed and acted by Stephen Chow, and it is also his first work with a personal signature director. In addition to Xing Ye, there are also his golden partner Wu Meng Dada, as well as Xie Xian and other stars to join. Xing Ye's charisma is quite powerful. The film was released on July 5, 2001. By the way, on October 7th of the same year, at the Wulihe Football Stadium in Shenyang, the Chinese team reached the World Cup finals for the first time in history with 1:0 Oman, two rounds ahead of schedule. It was Japan and South Korea in 2002. Unfortunately, this is the only time the Chinese team has reached the World Cup finals in the history of the World Cup so far. I'm a movie fan, and I'm a football fan, so this movie gave me a richer feeling. In the films directed by Xing Ye, narrative has always been the focus of his pursuit, and the design of many shots is full of imagination. The film still mainly depicts the stories of small people, which is always the characteristic of Xing Ye and what he pursues. The main theme of the film is dreams, "What is the difference between people without dreams and salted fish?" Xing Ye really appreciated the value of dreams. 8.5 points.

    In fact, I haven't watched it many times, I can't find the feeling of the 80s.
