It’s already the end of August and the summer vacation is coming to an end.

However, the recent cinema movies are particularly lively. For example, this week, there are many new movies to be released, and many of them are worth watching.

So, it’s still worth going to the cinema this week.

On the other hand, the weekly reputation list from Douban Movies continues to be updated, and there are several good new films on the list, which are also worth paying attention to.

First, let’s watch the theater movies first.

"hedgehog"

August 23



Gu Changwei's "Hedgehog" is finally going to be released. The film appeared in the main competition unit of the Shanghai International Film Festival in June. It received good reviews at the time and won the Best Screenplay Award.

This film was quite popular in Shanghai at the time, and now that it has been released in theaters, everyone can finally watch it on the big screen.



So, you can also learn about the plot summary from Douban official:

How does a "mental patient" live in the world of normal people?

Wang Zhantuan (Ge You) is a strange man in the secular world. He is occasionally crazy and behaves strangely, but he is uniquely sober. Zhou Zheng (Wang Junkai) is a sensitive and silent teenager. He is autistic because of stuttering, but he has a silent rebellious nature. These two people who don't fit in with the group give the whole family a headache and cause constant farce...

This film is adapted from the short story "Xian Syndrome" written by Zheng Zhi.



Grandma's Grandson

August 23



I have actually recommended this movie before, and I give it five stars.

At that time, it was also said that this film must be introduced to the mainland for screening!

Finally, it really came, that’s great.

You could say the plot of this film is a bit cliché, but the emotions are truly sincere, and it touches upon some memories and emotions hidden deep within many people's hearts.

At least for me, it penetrated at once.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

An (Ma Qunyao), an unemployed young man from a Thai Chinese family, saw his cousin inherit a property by taking care of his seriously ill grandfather, and he also became interested in his terminally ill grandmother (Usa Samekham), planning to replicate his cousin's "road to wealth" to obtain a million-dollar inheritance. However, facing equally "hard-working" uncles and a picky and venomous grandmother, An's road to becoming a full-time filial grandson and "living off his grandmother to get rich" does not seem to be as smooth as he expected...



"Inverse Scale"

August 23



After "Catching Dolls", Shen Teng has another new film to be released in theaters. This time it is a crime film and the screenplay is still acceptable.

I don’t know how it performed.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

The eldest brother Zunfei (played by Shen Teng) leads a group of brothers to join the wealthy businessmen, and relies on his own means to make a good living in this city where opportunities and murderous intentions coexist. Just when Zunfei thinks that his "money" future is bright, the beautiful boss Su Xiao (played by Zhang Yuqi) who wanders in the world of fame and fortune is ready to make a move and start planning for greater benefits. The wealthy businessman Huang Chaojin (played by Gao Jie) who seems to be staying out of the matter also gradually reveals his true face... Conspiracy, betrayal, power entanglement, why do brothers who have shared life and death become enemies? At the two ends of extreme evil and morality, how will Zunfei fight a bloody road for himself and his brothers?



It's good to be able to see it firsthand. At least, there's no need to worry about spoilers.

If I were the one who loved you most in the world

August 23



Just from the cast, this film is quite strong. It is directed by Liu Fendou and co-starred by Tong Liya, Huang Minghao and others.

After reading the introduction, it should be a heartwarming comedy, because Tong Liya plays an armless woman, which is quite a challenge for her performance.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

Fu Jiayi (Tong Liya), an armless woman who grew up in an orphanage, was not buried by life. Instead, she was born with a spirit of not admitting defeat and became a stubborn seed. She and Fu Manduo (Huang Minghao), a hearing-impaired boy who also grew up in an orphanage, are like siblings, and the two support each other all the way.

The peaceful life of the siblings is disrupted by the sudden arrival of a baby (played by Luo Sansui), which awakens Jiayi's new desire and pursuit for life. Faced with the ensuing conflicts and struggles, police officer Zhang Yang (played by Li Zongheng), welfare home director Li Mei (played by Liu Dan), and young woman Zhang Li (played by Zeng Mengxue) appear one by one. Faced with the cruel confrontation between good and good, where should this pair of siblings from the welfare home go?



《Rush》

August 23



"Lost Dog" is a new film directed by Jiang Jiachen, with a pretty good cast, including Li Jiuxiao, Wang Qianyuan, Pan Binlong, Yang Haoyu, and Liang Chao.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

Liu Yonggan (Li Jiuxiao), a street kid from Chongqing known as "Chaotianmen Bolt", gathered 30 brothers to form a loser football team called "Dockers". They fought back all the way and finally defeated the Warriors International Team and won the Eternal Bowl Championship. A group of reckless men turned the petty and vicious life in life into the wild power on the court, and became real brothers in the collision!



"Tumbledown"

August 24



This film has been introduced before, and it seems that the release date has been slightly changed to August 24th.

The film also won a screenwriting award at the previous First.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

Falling out of the warehouse is the beginning of adulthood, an inevitable variable in life, and the sincere first movement of young emotions. Drama school student Sun Xiaolei (Bian Cheng) is facing the first important competition in his life. The delayed voice change period makes him anxious, and his father's (Liu Jun) long-term expectations also make him full of fear of "falling out of the warehouse". In the process of preparing for the competition, Xiaolei accidentally became friends with two competitors-the boyish female old man Shi Jiahui (Zhou Meijun) and Xie Tianci (Chen Shaoxi) who came from a famous Peking Opera family. How will the teenagers break the stereotyped life and how will they face the undercurrent of emotions? The youth of the young drama students has made their debut.



One Piece: Strong World

August 23



The theatrical version of One Piece was only released in 2009, but the quality is still very good. It can be considered a very unique one among the theatrical versions of One Piece, so it was released again.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

On a sunny day, the Straw Hat Pirates were sailing leisurely on the sea. Suddenly, a floating island appeared in the sky. Nami notified everyone in time to avoid the upcoming tornado. Her ability attracted the attention of the pirates on the island. This pirate leader is extraordinary. His name is Shiki the Golden Lion. He fought for supremacy with Grodd Roger before the arrival of the Great Pirate Era. After Roger was captured, Shiki was also thrown into the underwater prison, but he cut off his legs and escaped, determined to take revenge on the East China Sea. Shiki wanted to pull Nami into the group, and disputes were inevitable. After twists and turns, Nami finally fell into Shiki's hands. In order to rescue their partners and stop the East China Sea's destruction plan, the Straw Hat Pirates will face the most powerful enemy in history...
