The modern version of "Cinderella"-well, it's "The Grey Boy"

This is an 87-year-old film. At the time it was released, I was just a little P kid in elementary school, singing "Socialism is good" and "Learning from Lei Feng a good example", and at the same time in the rice ditch of the paddy field. Fooling around, there are only evil capitalism and foreign friends living in dire straits in my mind-of course, that is what the adults told me.

This is a typical Cinderella—well, it should be a fairy tale of Cinderella. A poor truck driver (grey guy) with nothing fell in love with the rich daughter (princess) of the Chacha Consortium, but was thwarted by the old man (queen). Finally, the gray guy left the princess and his prince and lived a miserable life ever since. However, the princess has a terminal illness (how is it so like the plot of a Korean drama), and when she died, she entrusted the prince to the gray guy. In just a few days, the gray boy and his son (the prince) gradually opened up their hearts from strangeness to familiarity. In the end, the gray guy took advantage of his skills and won the championship of XX, and proved himself to his son and the queen... What a typical fairy tale!

This time, Stallone, the macho, rarely does not act in an action movie, and has changed his family route. Although his face is paralyzed, his emotions are all the same, but his efforts can still be seen from it. The scene where the gray guy and the prince hugged tightly at the end is still very moving.

But time is not forgiving. Stallone is still old, and his drooping cheeks and bulging belly are clearly visible in the trailer for "The Expendables" to be released this year. In fact, who can resist the invasion of time? But gratifyingly, the opponents of the year-Governor Arnold and the bald old cloth-finally came together with Stallone this time. Back then, the Big Three of the action film teamed up for an unprecedented time. This alone made me look forward to "The Expendables". Uh, digress... Click!
