? The highlight of Against the Current Uncle is the plot itself. Four middle-aged uncles have been living a high life, with average social status, facing the pressure of layoffs in their middle age, and experiencing the pain of middle-aged men. Subsequently, four middle-aged uncles with very different personalities regain their long-lost impulses and energies to swim against the current and rekindle their fighting spirit to live positively.
The story is about the journey of four middle-aged men, this drama does not see the negative energy of Hong Kong dramas, with a light-hearted and humorous style of writing Hong Kong people face "against the current" to rise to the challenge of optimism, the plot and laughs smoothly and naturally, the Cantonese dialogues are a drop in the bucket, and there is no trace of a co-production. It's not really a co-production. It's not really a sports film, the dragon boat is just the weight of the "group drama", which provides the premise and outcome of the plot, sincerely talking about the sorrows of mid-life crisis, and using humor to dissolve the sadness, and finding the positive energy from the spirit of sports, with a certain ideological metaphors.
? I really liked Pan Canliang's performance, and Wu Zhenyu is also an actor I like very much, playing a very flavorful role, bringing the essence of a middle-aged uncle to the bit. He himself this actor comes with a sense of vicissitude, eyebrows and natural voice have the flavor of middle-aged uncle.
Life always has a countercurrent, since the acceptance of life's slap, we must not hesitate to return, although middle-aged, but the four men have regained the passion of their youth to challenge themselves. The climax of this movie is their participation in the Dragon Boat Competition, waving their bravado with sweat and blood. Meeting the challenges and trials of life in the midst of heckling is why I like this drama so much. Growing up happily in the midst of trials and tribulations is the true meaning of life. The end credits use humor to defuse the sentimentality, which makes you smile after watching it.
