Obesity and simplicity make Nacho seem a little stupid. But he never cared, because he had a dream like a great man-to become the most respected wrestler in town. The dream was originally just a graffiti, but after Nacho met the beautiful nun, he didn't want to be looked down upon anymore, he wanted to become a respected hero. He put on the mask he designed and participated in the wrestling competition in the town. Although he failed, he also had his own supporters. He used the money he earned from the competition to buy food for the children in the orphanage, but he never received merit in front of the nuns. In order to date the nun, he dressed up, but it looked more like a funny big fat goose. After repeated failures, he made up his mind not to buy food for the children from the compassionate pension of the game failure. He wants to be a true wrestling champion, not a ridiculous clown.
The movie has many similarities with Stephen Chow's "The King of Destruction". The two protagonists are both humble little people, and they both fall in love with the beautiful heroine. In order to change their destiny, they put on masks, hoping to become true heroes. Although the behavior during the period was a bit absurd and ridiculous, their kind-hearted and pure perseverance won the appreciation of everyone. Nacho didn't have the moves like Zhou Xingchi's "Invincible Beacon Wheel", he used his fat body to resist the opponent's attack.
The director of the film is the young Jared Hess. In 2004, his work Napoleon Dynamite and his distinctive nonsensical style brought him to the surface. Jack Black is an actor I have always liked. He didn't have the nobility and seriousness of a big-name actor. Appearing in the Academy Award always brings joy and relaxation to the serious and awkward atmosphere of the scene. In 2003, in School of Rock, he played a young man who loves rock madly but was impoverished. By chance, he entered a school with a stale system. He talked about Led Zeppelin with a group of 10-year-old children in class, which made people laugh and cry. What's interesting is that after the school of Rock was released, many people thought that maybe rock music should really be introduced to the school so that children can understand the charm of this art. As a successful comedian, Jack Black portrayed the shameless producer in the movie Kingkong this year with hateful gritted teeth, which shows his extraordinary performance and creativity.
Although there is no high evaluation on Rotten Tomato, I think Nacho Libre is not dull when many blockbuster movies are produced this year. On the contrary, because of its anti-trend mundane and nonsensical nature, it has become a special product in 2006.
