Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
这才是正能量啊！如果没有真实的苦难，怎么会有理想的光辉。简直是印度版的捕蛇者说，仅是看电影中的暴力镜头就已经很让人感到不适了，但谁又知道现实存有的暴力会残酷多少倍，而那些棍棒是真实打在人身上的。电影很规整，不同段落的法庭戏的打光蛮有意思的。
韩国有《辩护人》，印度有《杰伊·比姆》而我们什么都没有，希望都是他们的。生而为人真难啊。
电影里只有逆袭成功的童话，现实中看不见咸鱼一生的平凡。
星仔想舞狮。对于把周星驰和《少林足球》看到滚瓜烂熟的影迷而言，《雄狮少年》无论化用广佛的市镇风貌和舞狮文化，还是约略采掘了广粤复杂方言语境（五条人的海陆丰和九连真人的河源等），都不如在造型、广普和人名上的密集致敬。小人物翻身的打底，却制造出了退无可退的群体尴尬和原乡沼泽。动画片很大程度抑制了现实主义的细节不妥，也让更多人欣快接受热血的后半段，看似老套，已经被香港武打动作片拍到尽的的舞狮打比赛，反而交出了流畅自然的新意，技术上无可挑剔。
影片结局出狮头的残缺、阿娟的落水以及最后彩蛋处阿娟又重新回归生活去到上海打工，都让影片立足于朴素英雄主义，给予每个现实人生活的指引，并克制地留下了“传统文化亟待挽救”的命题，意蕴悠长。
我给满分。无尿点。各方面都很棒。这电影应该引进，都应该看看
每位渴望成为艺术家的内地新导演，都应该好好学学本片是如何设计场面、调遣运镜、丰富调度的。舞狮这样的传统文化成为了合理的叙事背景，不止是知识普及，更通过阿娟这样的弱小个体提炼出精神层面的坚定。而在美轮美奂的画面下，才是本片最出色的部分——城市的快速发展和传统文化的衰落是并行的。发展的代价太大，落在了人、文化、环境等方方面面。影片末尾的舞狮大赛，鲜艳的各色狮头背后是苍凉的阴霾城市，舞狮的凝聚力激荡人心，却也抵挡不住遍地的寒意。留守儿童的命运往复，很可能就是社会未来模样的缩影。影片彩蛋绝妙地点出了这层内核。当然，从叙事表达上，影片有着强烈的周星驰灵魂覆盖，对话的遣词用句可调整的地方也很多，是比较明显的遗憾。最感叹的是监制张苗多年来判断项目的眼光，市场进步不可或缺的一份子。
咸鱼店夫妇叫阿强和阿珍，预告片主题曲又是五条人的。所以我期待了一整场《阿珍爱上了阿强》。
我欠《雄狮少年》一张电影票啊啊啊啊啊
印度律师为被冤枉偷窃的人伸张正义，种姓制度依然根深蒂固
印象最深场景就是，警察和律师听着一堆人讲述自己的冤案，没钱没身份的底层人民，就真的没有说话的权利，在警察面前，连人都不是。
问:3万亿，17万亿，23万亿，三个以美元计价的经济体有何不同？
电影本身一般，社会意义很强，结尾的一幕让我想起了西行漫记里斯诺跟红小鬼的对话，斯诺叫小红军喂，拿点水，小红军鸟都不鸟洋大人，直到斯诺叫他同志，才给斯诺来了一杯卡布奇诺，斯诺道谢，小红军反而说用不着为这种小事道谢，感触很深。电影里主人公归根结底还是统治阶层的人，否则的话第一步都走不到就被杀了，之所以反派一直给主人公面子，无他，他的种姓很高，本身也是统治阶层的一员，他只是背叛了自己的阶层，而且留洋派之间有一种对本土精英的优越感，所以互相给面子，如果印度的社会改革只能靠留洋精英推动，终究只是茶杯风暴，太可惜了
富强 民主 文明 和谐 自由 平等 公正 法治 爱国 敬业 诚信 友善
平平无奇的前一小时，让我完全没想到自己走出影院时会如此喜欢这部电影。
印度政府怎么能让这种电影过审？正义得以伸张的核心除了权力外的民权律师，还有权力内的警察处处长：”为了警察部门我什么都可以放到一边，但是我永远不会放弃我的良心，我很抱歉。“
富强 民主 文明 和谐 自由 平等 公正 法治 爱国 敬业 诚信 友善
很高兴有这样一部无IP原创国产动画电影，而它在呼喊梦想这个古老命题时又如此兼具现实性。
其实舞狮并不能改变什么，也不会真的让你走向成功。但生活中总是要有点奔头，要有一口气，这才是活下去的理由，也是会觉得热血的原因。
可以放开说了。我觉得比起一二幕的稍显草率，最大的遗憾是审美的整体性和原创性欠缺。但第三幕就是我们自己的鱿鱼游戏，也为触及留守儿童的现实主义打个Call，好看的。至于所谓的争议事件，只能说太坏了，什么时候我们不被概念定义，我们才能定义概念。
