Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
热血并不会贯穿一生，但只要有过信念 就足以照亮灰暗的时刻，该上山下山，路还是在脚下。喜欢朴实生动的乡村镜头和结尾的克制。
剧本好，明线为病猫成雄狮，暗线为留守儿童接力家庭重担，在沉重的工作中磨炼出坚毅的眼神和结实的肌肉这才比较符合现实。开头巷子里追逐长镜头好棒，天台独自舞狮的动作燃点与泪点好棒，各种农村与城市特色细节用心。人物形象设计属于写实。最后不管昨天是否拿到比赛冠军，明天还是得为生活奋斗。克制住了往“奇迹”虚幻靠，这点真的值得表扬。给满分但还是要说说不足，1.主角配音不太农村化，阿猫那种不咸不淡的才比较靠近真实。2.配乐太多了，虽说五条人和九连真人很符合但太满有点累。3.雄狮出现那一刻有泛白点，转得有些突兀。
有的拿去孕育新的芽苗，有的只是当摆饰。
这部动画电影可能是拍给心中快要失去斗志的中年人的，按舞狮少年阿娟的大概年龄推断，到电影上映的时候大概是30多接近40岁，这一设定给电影带来了处处熟悉犹如亲身再经历的情怀分，少年用柔弱的肩膀勇敢承担家庭重担，挺起脊梁创造舞狮奇迹，气氛拉满分；病猫和弱猴燃起斗志，舞狮代表了激情、青春、内心仍在燃烧的火焰，电影节奏明快配乐也好，从各个角度来看剧组做这部电影诚意十足，情绪调动厚积勃发是国内近几年难得一见的佳作，我愿意给5星。 另，拿眯眯眼来攻击的人真是良心坏了！
但他曾在波涛中畅游的姿态身影，
无言的结局很动人，胜过多句喊口号的台词。无数个阿娟走进城市被钢铁森林吞没，只有在夜里他们的梦魂才会回来，轻轻走过佛前。心安处正是吾乡。
每次觉得马上就要落入大俗套白眼快翻起来的时候，就稍微跳脱出俗套来给我续命。
PS.九连真人的嗓子一出来就很有代入感👍🏻
在格式化的国漫剧情中难得有现实主义刻画的故事，口号性质的对白略多了一点，练出了肌肉的阿娟好帅！整体是不错的但不至于惊喜，只能说还是有诚意的。动画制作水平和配乐是最大的亮点，and很开心这是第一部跟小刘一起看的电影，所以给四颗星！
十分工整的叙事，故事讲的很扎实，从头到尾虽然只有舞狮一件事，但带出的四个胖瘦不一形态各异的人物是丰满立体的。女孩阿娟其实就是男孩阿娟的一个倒影，或者说一个理想。最让人敬佩的是，虽然拿了冠军，虽然有了那奇迹的一瞬间，但阿娟的生活并没有被彻底改变。鸡毛蒜皮和生存压力依旧萦绕在他周围，那个冠军更像是一个英雄人物曾经的感动。但这种感动，咸鱼强是没有的，阿娟会不会成为咸鱼强，没人知道，但唯一可以知道的是，他以后不会有关于舞狮的遗憾和后悔，或许这才是最真实的人生。
1.久违的国漫黑马之作，追梦少年的赤诚与坚守真的让人热血沸腾。2.导演敢于以地域性的舞狮文化为动画题材已实属难得；对留守儿童和弱势群体的守护，更让我们看到创作者的真挚之心。3.最后舞狮大赛的高潮时刻层层递进，让我们相信，励志的光芒永远都能鼓舞着少年们勇敢前行。哪怕你是别人口中的“病猫、瘦猴、肥猪”，但当梦想的聚光灯照亮内心的那一刻，就会有奇迹发生。
一花一草，一招一式，一声沉默中爆发的怒吼，一场逆境中成长的洗礼。
动画做得真不错，无论是水墨狮子，还是光影下似真似幻的毛茸茸。废柴逆袭的故事很套路，但拥挤的打工宿舍的天台上，那些画在地上的桩印，写在墙上的练习记录，都很动人，用一句鸡汤歌词来形容，平凡生活的英雄梦想。一次比赛，虽然看起来热血，但并没有一步登天的童话，生活还得继续，但热爱令人勇敢和坚强。结尾和彩蛋，可以加一星。喜欢。
我们看到的是少年，我们欢喜狮头挂上擎天柱，容易忘记的是后面站得更远一些的阿强，那个阿娟长大后成为的阿强，以及更远处的阿珍。
挺不错的，前半段节奏略奇怪，男主角色塑造感觉没起来，但其他的都挺好的，尤其是舞狮的场景做得还是蛮出彩的
想不到除了皮克斯还能有别的电影能让我哭这么惨…每个人都要经历成长
因为某种原因，电影在票房的表现和电影本身的故事一样，没有获得最后的成功，但却获得了某种意义上的成功。不管怎么玻璃心，好的电影就是好电影
编剧该给美术磕个头，美术该给配音磕个头，配音该给原声磕个头。刻意的人设与前半段的低俗剧情太赶客。
却意外溺倒在本世纪初叶的市场乱滩上。
I am what I am. 如果这些励志片都是假的，那为什么每次看都让人热血沸腾呢!
