1. Why did Ming Feng work for Qiangxiong for 20 years?
I didn't understand at first, I felt that after Ming Feng was disabled, whether it was because of jealousy or anger, he should leave sadly instead of working for Qiangxiong.
But looking at the back, Ming Feng is a dignified person after all. He is eager to win the game again in the way of a coach, and he will be angry at the "lame". In addition to the hope and dignity betting on football, there is more of his remorse and remorse in those low-pitched voices.
However, at the beginning of the film, he didn't know that all this was not just a retribution but a trap. After Qiangxiong told the truth, he almost laughed madly. Later, he said that the game is a war (you die, you never tire of cheating), and his tragic cognition of life has been integrated into the game.
2. During the practice game, the brothers kowtowed to the stars when they "returned". This is the second self-return of Shaolin football players.
The first time was when they gave up their bottom lives to join the team. After being frustrated in the society, they use various methods to reject the stars who "disregard the reality and want to realize the ideal of liberating Shaolin Kung Fu", including but not limited to: selling miserable or sinking into the tragic survival desire of the bottom life, performing the worldly sophistication On the one hand, he is actually passive and avoids the world, vainly showing off his "results" and deducing busyness, angering his parents for denying the choice of learning martial arts at the beginning, overeating...
The salted fish were finally moved by the stars and joined the team because of the unbearable life at the bottom. However, the kung fu that has been abandoned for many years cannot be restored in a short time.
The second time was in the practice match with the local ruffian. They were beaten to the ground by their opponents who were looking for revenge. The scene in Xingxing's imagination that the battlefield helicopter came to help them turned into Ming Feng's face, but Ming Feng, the referee, refused to blow the whistle, and the senior brother was humiliated on his knees begging for mercy. So far, there is no other way but to resist.
They return to themselves in life choices and true power.
Although both superhuman strength and a momentary awakening belong only to fairy tales, the transformation brought about by pain is still sighing. After victories one after another, the original bottom line found the wealth and status they once craved. However, it also revealed a vulgar side.
3. The stars slapped Mei in the mall but actually slapped her. His appreciation and encouragement to May warm people's hearts, but the extra slap here seems to be to debunk the falseness of his repeated "beautiful" compliments. Therefore, Mei still went to plastic surgery, and lost her true colors but could not exchange for beauty, Xingxing rejected Mei. Like his old sneakers that he no longer uses plum stitching.
In the final, though, the stars, who re-accepted their old sneakers, scored the deciding goal.
In the end, Shengyin did not adopt the logic of "accumulated kung fu will eventually win over drugs", which caters to fairy tales. Instead, choose... love? Is this a complete fairy tale? I don't know yet.
