Important to note that the song that is playing while the creature is speaking is a cover of a cantonese song called 灰色軌跡, originally by Beyond (a HK band), covered by 吉他的天空. The song works so well in this meme, and im glad Western audiences will be able to find out about Beyond (and canto culture) this way. btw, the creature speaks mandarin not cantonese but i did find a vid where chow yun fat speaks canto while 灰色軌跡 plays over it. no captions tho

I don't want you to leave** A heart full of memories Who can cover it up for me Wherever I am, I want to be with you Can't get rid of my traces Why not face it with no regret Everybody has their own path I'm stepping onto a gray track All I see is the abyssal reflection of the water *Chorus* (repeated)

The scenes from both animations are very tense as their source deals with mafia affairs. For context Chow Yun Fat's character is having a meltdown explaining he has been putting up with shit for a number of years just to wait for an opportunity (to get back what he had lost). For the other one, the frog represents a junior Mafia member who has been (supposedly) calling out the marmot who is technically his superior, to which the marmot confronts frog and his friends at a restaurant with his guys fully loaded, hands the frog a gun staying that if frog wants to be a badass so much, marmot will give him 3 seconds to grow the balls to pull the trigger while holding the barrel to his head. Upon seeing frog fails to do so, marmot then tauntingly rebukes him saying "I've given you a chance (to kill me) and you're the one who didn't take it, so don't blame me (for you not having the balls)" All of the tension being portrayed by these actors is ruined by the fact that they're now ironically marmots. It's kind of in the same spirit as Vergil's chair meme.

The original movie is in Cantonese, it's a Hong Kong movie, it's Chow Yun Fat from the 80s/90s. However the audio that the beaver uses is the Mandarin Dub, which is why it doesn't feel as natural or matching Chow Yun Fat's performance. Mandarin has a much more flat and harsh tone to its voice, while Cantonese has a softer and more emphasis on using the throat. I say this as a Vietnamese who grew up with Cantonese/Hong Kong movies and they're much more pleasant to the ears I'd say, especially when watching the same movie but with Mandarin Dub, it's much more jarring.
@bernardz1885

I actually loved the Mandarin dub, probably because I am from the mainland. What we can agree on is this is one of Chow Yun Fat and John Woo's Magnum Opus. The emotion from this scene is beyond any dialect, that's why its the movie that still captivates the Chinese imagination to this day.

@@bernardz1885 Oh yeah no disrespect to Mandarin just incase. Movies in their Native Language like a Mandarin Movie in Mandarin would be best that way and a Cantonese Movie in Cantonese would be best that way too. But yeah it's all personal preference of course! Indeed Chow Yun Fat's acting trascends language indeed! It's raw acting indeed! I wonder if there's a Vietnamese Dub haha. Stephen Chow movies are a great example of Mandarin vs Cantonese Dub for me.

I don't know how popular it is in english but in spanish and I think some slavic places the most popular recent meme is the ijbilnij/ijbiñij, maybe you could talk about it.

For a 3D character that does not have a lot of details in its geometry, it is so extremely well animated in selling the drama of the dialogue. The micro movements of the lip quivering to its expressive eyes to the goofy bouncing hair, it's a weird mix of uncanny valley / goofy looking.

Yes, I think you don't have to worry about whether he speaks Cantonese or Mandarin! In Chinese Mainland, more people hear films in Mandarin, or the animation author does not understand Cantonese, so it is impossible to dub Cantonese for animation

There is a misunderstanding about the Chinese culture lexicon in this video essay. The Chinese do love their triad stories, but they were mostly made in HK at a time when the triads were a huge power there, similar to how there were certain time periods of the Mafia in the US and the Yakuza in Japan in their respective histories. The Mainland Chinese, compared to HK, generally don't have any "legendary" triad movies to speak of, but they do love watching these old HK movies, often dubbed in Mandarin just like the scene that this animation came from. Yes, they are all Chinese, but there's a little more nuance than the generic Western understanding of which one is what style of Chinese - same as you can't just say a Brit, an American, and an Aussie are all the same just because they are white and speak English.
