Xingye is old, and Lisu does not know where

This kind of comedy is very "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth". Although I feel a little stupid now, it is cute and ridiculous.
Li Su's simplicity makes him seem out of place in modern civilization, full of laughter. I first saw this African native who was dubbed by Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda in "African Monk". At that time, I felt that he was a god-like existence. This unmodified image of Hibiscus from Shimizu is absolutely unique in the history of world cinema. He is an alternative comedy star, but he can't be repeated. It is said that after a few plays, he got tired of it and returned to the primitive tribe of life.
The two lines seem to be incompatible, but in the end they are cleverly combined. This narrative method is actually very anti-Hollywood. If it could be a little more subtle, it would be nice to combine that coke bottle with the male or female protagonist, or the rebel leader who threw the bottle, so that the previous plot of Lisu is at least less detached. There are also some plots in Lisu that can be combined with the male and female protagonists, so it looks more holistic.
Xing Ye is old, and Li Su doesn't know where it is. That kind of pure comedy that makes people laugh from beginning to end is as rare as a beautiful woman.

    When the barbarity of slash-and-burn farming encounters a Coke bottle from modern civilization, an absurd story that makes people laugh at the same time and think about civilization unfolds in this movie that makes "God Crazy". There is a masterpiece with the comedy charm of Chaplin's silent films, and it is also an ad placement magic film worthy of reference - Coca-Cola!

    Narrator: Xi was beginning to think he would never find the end of the earth. And then one day, suddenly, there it was.

    [Xi arrives at a great cliff, so wide and high that clouds surround its edges. Xi drops the bottle over the edge of the cliff, and returns home to his family]
