The English name of the movie is "Napoleon Dynamite", which is the name of the protagonist in the play. Perhaps in order to highlight this inconspicuous or even unattractive little character, the film's translator deliberately went the other way, adding the word "big man" before his name.
Napoleon in the play is an ordinary high school student in Idaho, with brown hair covered with caterpillars, always wearing poorly matched clothes and clumsy hiking boots. The expression on his face is almost the same, and the tone of speech is always without vitality, and it feels like a dumb idiot (idiot). However, he has a famous saying that he often speaks to others in an angry tone: "Idiot!"
Not only him, but his family also exhibits a certain degree of idiot characteristics. His 30-year-old brother is unemployed. , I am idle, obsessed with the Internet. An uncle who popped up inexplicably, recommended breast enhancement products to his female classmates and their mothers all day without any measure, making him extremely embarrassed in front of his classmates.
However, this somewhat ridiculous scene and character is not the subject of the film. Although Napoleon's classmate was a little dumb and silly, and some teenagers were confused, none of this could conceal the purity and kindness in his heart, the bravery and sincerity of helping his friends to save themselves. After watching the film, we discovered that in the spiritual world of an introverted and melancholy boy who was regarded as a joke, there are actually beautiful things that people admire.
The most attractive is the philosophical silly and lonely style of Napoleon's classmate. Geniuses are sensitive and lonely, and what attracts a lonely person the most is another person who is equally lonely.
By the way, according to my observation, the tina that Napoleon feeds every day in the film should be a beast.
