      Man Of Tai Chi--Don't Lose Yourself

      In terms of the plot alone, there is nothing new, and I don't want to watch it after watching it for ten minutes. Many places feel unrealistic. When Karen Mok was filming Keanu as a gangster boss, it was so easy to film. There is also Ren Dahua, who guessed from the beginning that he was with Keanu. Some parts of the action feel good, others feel obviously fake. But the soundtrack is good. From the above alone, two stars....

      Keanu is a pretty good product manager...

      Although many people say that the "Man of Tai Chi" directed by the star of "The Matrix" is a flying film, I still get the experience from it: Keanu is a good product manager

       Keanu and many product managers The same:
      == Like every product manager, he has to be responsible for a product and pay for it: he has to hold competition after competition
      == Like every product manager, he has to integrate resources from all aspects: he has to find the right participants , he wants to...

      Overall it's not bad, the martial arts action is still a bit girly

      The movements in this film should be very close to the real Taijiquan. Maybe many people think that the type of Jet Li in "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng" is the real Taiji. The plot is not bad overall, it has ups and downs, it's not bad, but it's not too good, at least it's better than the king of kung fu. As for the action scenes, maybe Europeans and Americans pay more attention to human nature when making films, and they don’t dare to take too seriously, for fear of hurting the actors, not like Thai...

      Newcomer director + newcomer actor = the purest kung fu - "Tai Chi Man" star meeting will have a feeling of watching the movie

      It's really a blessing for Sansheng to attend the Tai Chi Man's star meeting tonight. Although they only showed up for a few minutes, they answered two or three questions, took a photo together, and left in a hurry. Maybe it's because several theaters have invited them today. However, Keanu Reeves didn't say much. This is the biggest regret. An excited female fan got the opportunity to ask him questions. Unfortunately, she didn't cherish it. She was only excited and asked a few worthless...

      Director Chino Reeves

      I started paying attention to this movie before it was released and I have been waiting for the HD version. Finally finished it tonight. Before I read it, I first checked Chen Hu, who turned out to be a martial artist in Hollywood. Later, I got on with Levi, and they were like brothers. Finally, Chino Reeves created this drama for his brother, and I think Levi's fat body is more attractive than before (Uncle Control). In the film, Chen Hu is an ordinary German courier. It seems that everyone...

      In the end, defeating the opponent, it is estimated that Wang Lin all dreamed of it. This is too much. Letting go of oneself is not necessarily qigong. Qigong is not Tai...

    Background creation

    In 1999, " The Matrix " landed in China. In the film, Keanu Reeves played "Neo" with his agile skill and handsome appearance, which made countless Chinese movie fans crazy. The film also made him get to know Yuan Heping and Tiger, and became interested in Chinese martial arts, especially Tai Chi. In 2012, under the joint operation of multiple investors, Keanu Reeves's first directorial work was successfully launched. The filming...

    Evaluation action

    Keanu Reeves is not Wong Kar-wai. He will neither spend five years on a cultural retrospective in the folks for the word "Tai Chi", nor will he find experts who study martial arts theory to be his adviser. It’s his clearest goal to push Tiger to the world, and it doesn’t matter if the routines and sects have nothing to do with "Tai Chi". Obviously, all the martial arts in the film are just mixed martial arts using Tai Chi's bright...

    Movie quotes

    • Female Announcer: A fine line separates a fighter from a warrior. One is motivated by reason, the other, by purpose.

    • Master Yang: You must meditate.

      'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: Why?

      Master Yang: To clear your mind, guide your Chi and gain control.

      'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: I have control.

      Master Yang: No, you have power not control.

      'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: Power is control.

      Master Yang: That is an illusion.

      'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: It is not an illusion... it's reality. I live in it, you don't. What I learn here I can't use out there.

      Master Yang: How can you use what you have not yet learned? Only when you've dispelled these illusions, will you find your way again.

    • Master Yang: The universe is blind to our pain and deaf to our sorrows. All things have their way.
