Political "Ming" metaphor

1. The whole film is completely a political "bright" metaphor, because the director didn't want to hide many things at all, and even said it directly through the lines. The most superficial, the color of the karate belt represents class, which has been explained by the mouth of the heroine.

2. The color of the belt is determined by the teacher, but not by the ability.

3. Teachers represent those in power/upper class. From the obvious machismo (implicit discrimination against...

niche movement

It should not be cheap to learn karate in the play. There are a series of systematic niche sports such as boxing, jiu-jitsu, and weightlifting in China. The annual card costs seven or eight thousand. If you don't have a stable monthly income, you can't learn it. I learned Jiu-Jitsu for a month, but I felt sad because I didn't have the money to learn it. There is also the issue of the ratio of males and females. There are only a few girls around who are interested in gaining muscle and are...

Violence, Nazism, and Similar Gay Cultures

In fact, at the beginning, I just wanted to praise Mr. Juan who was invincible even though he was bullied by villains, but seeing that there are too many grooves in the back, it was worth discussing so that I felt it necessary to write a long review.

Mainly about violence.

In fact, I still resonate with the character of the hero of this film to some extent, which is also a common feature of many similar characters in the film and television: the so-called "weak", those who are...

All roads lead to Rome (this is not a film review)

This is not a movie review, it's a personal opinion

[Spoiler] "The Art of Self-Defense": Eisenberg is indeed a great actor, and his character begins with a very cowardly man, and he plays it alive. Movie-wise, it's actually pretty magical. This kind of thing hardly occurs in reality, but behind the magic, it may directly point to various acute problems in reality.

The following section contains spoilers. Personally, I feel that understanding this...

At the beginning, I thought it was a comedy movie with a counter-attack, but I didn’t expect that with the development of the plot, it turned out to be a complete black humor, and a lot of satire on the mainstream American culture from various angles made the film like peeling an onion. The same layers are uncovered, which is spicy and enjoyable. American pragmatism is vividly explained in the accurate and humorous translation of "Zen", which makes it hard to wonder if the film is sponsored by...
