As an ordinary viewer, not a film critic, I would say that "Hot and Hot" moved me, and the deeper reason is what the film is trying to say, which I summarize as real positive and fake efforts.
In the movie, Le Ying almost stands on the opposite side of the world. From the perspective of a fat man who is disgusting and lazy, the world is so snobbish, everyone judges people by their appearance, and they are all mercenary. It's realistic! However, it is not enough to see this, the details of the reality depicted in the film are what we need to recall.
They seem to look down on people who are lazy and lazy, but in fact they are fake efforts! Although it has a "fake" word, I prefer to classify it as a neutral word, because most of us have experienced or are experiencing it. Lao Liang, the boss played by Sha Yi, although he is pretending to work hard, isn't he also doing well? Didn't Doudou played by Yang Zi also get the coveted regularization? Fitness coach Haokun really wanted to win, but he gave up in the face of material. Their common characteristics are "take it when you see it", "stop loss in time", and "focus on self-interest". In order to realize the "material needs" of reality, dreams can be used to replace them, or dreams are not needed at all, everything is self-interest. Instead of criticizing fake efforts, we should "win at least once". This time may be a secular victory, but it is also a secular victory.
What kind of positivity is true positivity? After watching "Hot and Hot", I feel that life needs a posture more, this posture is the attitude of devoting yourself to your dreams and giving everything, whether you succeed or not is not the most critical, the most important thing is to find the most positive self. Even if it's just once. It may be a little different from our golden mean, which does not advocate too much enthusiasm and emphasizes that things must be opposed. Even Sun Tzu's Art of War says that first stand undefeated and then win, stability and then development. What I'm saying is that we may be used to following the rules, and this kind of positive life is what we want, but we dare not try. I call this attitude of life "the summit posture". The peak stance serves two purposes. First, let yourself "win" once, each of us needs our own "win", in the movie, it is to fight once, knock down the opponent once, and win after a fight. And in life, no matter how small we accomplish something, we all win. It's about posture, not winning or losing. Second, no amount of ordinary effort may be enough to catch up with an all-out effort. Because, with your daily efforts, others will not see your efforts, and you will not go all out. So, people need such a posture.
