For those who are in blissful ignorance of Shang-Chi, this is a review of the new Marvel movie where they go a little too far with casting diversity. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a film about a bunch of borderline unemployed people who go on a crazy expedition because a dysfunctional family cannot communicate within themselves. It opens with introducing us to the antagonist who is said to have lived a life longer than a thousand years and no, it isn’t Stan Lee. He’s some Chinese dude who acquired precisely ten bangles because some writer apparently thought “Hmm, six would be too few.” These bangles, inaptly termed “rings” in the movie, serve the purpose of providing whosoever is trans enough to wear them with the power of immortality, which if you think about it is actually a curse because now you have to live forever with the embarrassment of having worn bangles publicly. The urge to kill yourself would spike exactly then for a multitude of reasons, starting with you being a poorly written Marvel character, further strengthening the paradoxical nature of the rings.
“Surakshit Kaale Mere Baal, Vasmol Ne Kiya Kamaal.”
Since hormones still exist in the system of this old dude (ugh, I know), he falls in love with an equally uneducated villager in one swift sequence seemingly directed by Karan Johar, and what is more surprising is that his love is reciprocated as well. In typical Tinder fashion, they have sex ASAP and the woman gives birth to a boy who plays both Don and Vijay in the film later on with his dual identity. Much like my father, absenteeism plays a big role in Old Man’s strategy of raising his child, and Young Boy spends his teens taking it out by practicing martial arts on wooden dummies since Call of Duty didn’t exist as a testosterone outlet in this universe.
This training session is better than the alternative of working in iPhone factories in China.
Being horny AF, the couple has another child in quick succession, a girl this time (because progressive family), before the mother gets killed off to serve the sole purpose of advancing the plot. A lot of drama ensues owing to the emotionally and sometimes even physically distant father and the family tears apart, with Young Boy moving to San Francisco and Old Man vanishing as usual, leaving the prepubescent Young Girl to fend for herself, instilling in her a resentment she fostered for far too long. Today I learnt that there are worse things Asian parents can do than forcing their children to study engineering or medicine.
Fast forward to when the kids are old enough to be replaced by hotter actors — we see Young Boy being platonic friends (yeah, I don’t buy it either) with a girl played by someone literally named Awkwafina. Some jokes just write themselves. He receives a postcard which he assumes is from his estranged sister and without doing due diligence, literally just flies to Macau only to find his very hostile sister say “No.”
“Yeh Kya Kar Rahi Hai Yaar? Koi Iss Awkwafina Ko Bisleri Pilaao.”
The next half of the movie is a blur owing to sheer boredom and totally not because of any drugs we might have consumed. But suffice it to say a lot of dragons were involved on and off screen (woohoo, LSD!!!) and despite it ending with Mandatory Death of Beloved Family Member, the characters go back to their lives somehow happier?!?! Young Boy and Awkwafina keep pushing the boundaries of their platonic friendship till the very last scene and if you can make it to the end of the movie sober, I am given to understand there is a post-credits scene as well including the aptly named Wong, because he’s definitely not Wight for the part. He appears just twice in the movie but accentuates the boredom to the point of no return. But the one thing the movie does well is to have the majority of the dialogues in Mandarin so it’s easier for you to drift off to sleep.
To sum it up — you know how they say certain meetings could have been emails? This movie could have been a text message. It also didn’t help that whilst writing this review, I came to the realization that I’m not fat because I’m a writer — I’m a writer because I’m fat. To conclude, I will say that I lost some loved ones to the pandemic last year but at least it kept such movies away from theatres so I don’t know what to root for anymore.
