This is probably the 5th time I've watched this movie, and every time I watch it, I will laugh and have new touches and feelings. Some say that Charles Dickens' eyes were moist, neither dry nor full of tears. The same is true of Stephen Chow, who is good at observing, but not extreme. He always uses ordinary characters as the protagonists, so that many people can find their own shadow in the movie. Zhou Xingchi's movies are always linked to martial arts. On the one hand, he was influenced by the martial arts atmosphere at the time. On the other hand, it can be seen that he has a longing for martial arts, which is out of reality, but always has miracles and dreams. Give hope and strength to the little people in the society who have been ignored and frustrated just like him. The star in the film is his ideal incarnation. Xing makes a living by picking up trash, wearing tattered shoes, haggling for fifty cents of steamed buns, a guy who can't be more humble in the eyes of others, but lives a confident and contented life. Because of his firm love for kung fu, he has his own dreams. The Ming Feng played by Wu Mengda is a tragic character. He used to rely on his 'golden right foot' to reach the top of the football world, but his leg was broken because he played a fake ball. He lost his honor, was spurned by others, and even in order to survive, he did miscellaneous things for the enemy who made him disabled, and he didn't even want his dignity. But even so, Ming Feng still has a dream in his heart, and he wants to lead a team of his own and re-emerge in football. Look at the brothers and sisters who came out of the Shaolin Temple together with Xing. They are all working in humble jobs at the bottom of the society. They are oppressed by life. They want to forget about kung fu and are willing to be ordinary. However, Xing has not changed. He is an awakener who illuminates their dreams, forms a kung fu team under Ming Feng's guidance, and finally defeats the Devil's team under Ming Feng's enemies. The whole storyline is concise and powerful, and the transformation of the steamed bun girl enriches the plot. At the end of the film, under the call of the star who has become a big star, the society has developed a martial arts style: the beautiful girl who used to wrestle on banana peels performed light work, and the gardener who was not good at pruning branches used it to play Dugu Nine Swords, unable to keep up with the bus office The fish jumped into the car. With the gorgeous background music, everything presents a thriving landscape. This is the world in Xing's mind, and this hope and vitality is also what Stephen Chow wants to achieve through his movies. Maybe this is his dream. 'If you don't have dreams, what's the difference with salted fish? ', he at least wants people who have seen his movies to believe that they have dreams, and that even salted fish will turn over. What his comedies carry is not only laughter, but also a deeper belief in life. This is the reason why Stephen Chow's films are enduring, and what I like about him.
