"Second-hand Lion King" film review: How long can Song Shousong reminisce about
a warm film? It has been a few years since I watched this movie, and I still remember it as it was at that time. What kind of story will happen when two old people who are no longer youthful and a child who is stunned and stunned together accidentally get together? There seem to be many answers to this question, but this film offers a very legendary direction, two old men with infinite aftertastes of history, their stories are full of brilliance, and they are in line with their passionate lives. There is also a small bright spot in this, that is, they accidentally bought a second-hand lion. However, this is only a symbol of the film. The lion's role is not large, but the legend of the old man occupies a lot of space.
I still remember the flash of humanity that filled my heart after watching the film. In addition to the radical attitude and open-mindedness of the two old men to life, which are the main lines of the film, there is also the feeling that exists everywhere in the film that makes the plot develop perfectly, such as Walter's short-lived He suddenly became unhappy after leaving the two old men, such as his relief after learning that the two old men passed away. And in stark contrast, Walter's mother stole the huge sum of money together with other people. This stark contrast makes the feelings and preferences of two old men and a child very precious and rare.
The film starts off by throwing out the huge wealth of the two old men, and before Walter's mother sends him to the countryside, the woman's image has been successful from the moment the money is spoken. The child looked at his mother in confusion and puzzled. After arriving at the destination, the child still did not wake up from the nightmare of being abandoned. The two old people are obviously very unhappy about the child's stay, they have their own lives, and whether a boy who looks weak will be troublesome, obviously based on their life experience, it is relatively powerless to evaluate this. .
On the first night, Walter went to live in the attic holding the oil lamp, facing the creaking bed and a box of luggage dropped by his mother. The large box with the oil lamp caught his attention. When he opened the box, he found that it was a box. Sand, buried in the sand is a photo, a photo of a woman. What followed was Uncle's sleepwalking and the next day when Walter woke up and stared at him with wide eyes, he said to himself: Even though he had a new mattress, his shoulders still hurt... These details are all the director's. Deliberate foreshadowing, whether the process of demystifying the mystery to all audiences is meticulous, is the reason for evaluating the quality of the film.
The plot of this movie is very well done. No one would have thought that the legendary story behind was so different from the current time background, and that the old man who was sleepwalking was actually the hero of the year. Around the time his story was told, the director also arranged for a fight with young lads in a bar, all of which were endorsing and testifying to the saga. In the end, after the two old people crashed in the plane, another descendant of the chief came by helicopter, which fully proved that the old man did not exaggerate his history, and how to tell a story well is no longer a problem for the director.
I remember a friend recommending to me another film called "Big Fish" when I was watching this film, saying that it was warmer than this film, and after I really watched "Big Fish" with my neck hard, I I didn't find the motivation in "Second-hand Lion King". In terms of narrative level and imagination, "Second-hand Lion King" has an absolute advantage.
I am often moved by the scenes and life expressed in some films. The characters of the two old men in this film and their undying passion for life are the kind that I am very happy to cheer for. Similar feelings seem to have a Taiwanese bank's commercials "Dream Knight" and "Mother's Courage", especially shocked by the healing power buried deep in them. If you feel depressed during a certain period, you might as well look for it. Let's take a look at "Second-hand Lion King", because the first-hand life and spiritual value in it is not a small wave, but a row of huge waves.
