Enthusiasm, which was highly anticipated in the summer of 2023, was released on July 28th, 2023. Zhou Xing, a professor at the School of Art and Media of Beijing Normal University, and Lin Jiangyu, a doctoral student in film science, gave positive comments on the film.
Professor Zhou Xing said in the Weibo that Passion is a film that shows the culture and values of contemporary youth. There are not only wonderful street dance performances, but also warm and touching father-son feelings. He believes that enthusiasm sends a positive message: no matter how many difficulties and challenges you encounter, you can achieve self-transcendence and value realization as long as you stick to your dreams and beliefs. Bo Huang and Yi Bo were especially praised for their acting skills, saying that they won the audience's resonance and applause with their sincere and enthusiastic performances.
Dr. Lin Jiangyu also expressed his views. He believes that Passion is a film that combines China elements with an international perspective. It not only shows the elegance and charm of street dance in China, but also reflects the diversity and openness of young people in China. He pointed out that hip-hop in Passion is not only an art form, but also a life attitude and social culture. He also analyzed the image-building of the two leading men in the film, thinking that they have both the aura of stars and the personality of the characters, forming an intertextual care effect.
Introduction to the plot of Enthusiasm
Ding Lei (Bo Huang) meets Chen Shuo (Yi Bo), a young dancer who deeply loves herself and sincerely pursues her dreams. By chance, Chen Shuo joined the street dance troupe in Ding Lei-exclamation point. The masters in the dance troupe are like a cloud, with different personalities, and they collide with Chen Shuo with different sparks and jokes.
Chen Shuo cherished this stage and looked forward to the opportunity to play, only to find that everything didn't go smoothly as expected. In the latest "Dream Chasing Edition" preview, facing the pull of family and dreams, Chen Shuo has a firm heart. While trying to supplement his family, he is also moving towards his dream.
Hip-hop itself is a very explosive sport, and the story of "warmth" is warm and gentle, which has the power to heal people's hearts. I have to say that director Dapeng brought a very enjoyable film to the audience this time.
