The two ends of the world can never be under the same perception

Is this movie any good? I think it is very extreme. Actors, whether adults or children, I give high marks; screenwriters, I give low marks.
From the actor's point of view, there are not many places for adults to evaluate. They are all old actors, and there is nothing to say about whether they are good or bad. But the children's performances are all very good. I am particularly impressed by the second boy, who has a very good foundation in kung fu. After Donnie Yen and Jet Li, there is absolutely no need to worry about no successor.

In terms of the plot, I sometimes think it's ridiculous. People outside see China, it's always so strange. I even think what Jackie Chan sees in China is just as strange, after all, he is not from the mainland.

The whole movie is more than 2 hours. I think the plot is vulgar, and it is no different from the previous inspirational movies. The only difference is the exchange between Chinese and foreigners, which makes people feel a little fresh and moving. There are always just a few, and an unsuccessful movie always enlarges and enlarges the touching part, lest everyone not see that this is a stalk.

When the movie first started, I asked bf, is this a story about China in the 1970s and 1980s? ~~I saw the bird's nest drifting past when the voice was down~~, I wondered, why does this scene, this dress, this broken bus, this broken house look like the 70s and 80s? At least that's not what Beijing looks like in my eyes. I can understand that every film that involves a country likes to dig out the characteristics of the country and show the part of the country with cultural heritage, but I don't think it is necessary to show it like this, and there is no need to be shabby everywhere. For example, the site of Beijing Primary School is very unique. Can the bus to pick up the children get an air-conditioned car? I'm speechless at the ragged bus that appears in the movie~~~~.

As for the train to Beigou Village, I am equally curious. Such a worn-out green leather car is about to be eliminated now. Where did you find it? And the villagers who got off the bus at the station looked like they were decades ago.

The scenery of Beigou Village is really nice, but when the magical Taoist temple appeared, I thought I was watching a movie like Tomb Raider....

It can only be said that the two ends of the world can never be under the same cognition, and what I see will never be what the other side of the earth sees.

    The story is a little thin, and the actors' acting skills and kung fu theory can't be saved~

    Are Chinese children so mean?

The Karate Kid quotes

  • [Liang had just injured Dre's leg]

    Dre Parker: Do you think I could've won?

    Mr. Han: Win or lose doesn't matter, Xiao Dre.

    Dre Parker: You know that's not I mean.

    [long pause]

    Mr. Han: Yes. I think you had a good chance.

    Dre Parker: So let's do the fiery cup thing.

    Mr. Han: You don't need to fight anymore. You have proven everything you need to prove.

    Dre Parker: What, that I can get beat up easy and then quit? That's not balance, that's not real kung fu. You said that when life knocks you down, you could choose whether or not to get back up. Well, I'm trying to get back up, and why won't you help me?

    Mr. Han: Because I cannot watch you get hurt anymore.

    Dre Parker: Please, Mr. Han, please.

    Mr. Han: Just tell me, Xiao Dre, why? Why do you need to go back out there so badly?

    Dre Parker: Because I'm still scared. And no matter what happens, tonight, when I leave, I don't want to be scared anymore.
