Kung Fu is not Karate

It’s been a long time since I was overwhelmed by the movie, and the spit points of this movie made me feel that the short review is not enough.

In general, this movie is that the rich second generation wants to play movies, so the father waved his hand and invested a sum of money to adapt a movie to let his son have a good time. This year, my son is having fun, and it is estimated that it will be my daughter's turn next year.

For Jaden's impression, it is still stuck in the image of a little kid who followed his father to and fro in "When Happiness Comes Knocking". How should I put it, Jaden still has talent for acting, and his physical fitness is absolutely excellent. But can old Will spend the money to get a better screenwriter? Don't take such a bad thing about China. There is a saying in China that steel is used on the blade, OK?

Begin to complain:
1. As soon as the movie is released in the West, it is estimated that foreigners will even think that Chinese people can master kung fu. Look at this elementary school, there are a lot of masters.

2. That girl looks like twenty-five or six just by looking at her face, even if she doesn't behave like a primary school student, how did she get it? Han Sanping's niece?

3. This "Beijing Primary School" is basically an aristocratic international school! It seems that the investigation is not enough. Generally, the name of the place must be a public school.

4. Shaolin was fried, so I used Wudang to make fun of it. Wudang is on fire.

5. How can Chinese children love to fight so fiercely? According to the current education of parents who worship foreigners, they treat their international friends like their grandchildren. The education of the Cheng family has to be observed and observed.

6. Drink some holy water on the top of the mountain, run a few laps on the Great Wall to win, and Chinese kung fu is nothing. Such a quick success will definitely attract a lot of foreigners to spend money to apprentice, which is very good.

7. Extreme things turn their backs on things. Jackie Chan is right, but why didn't you pay attention to the movie? I tried to highlight all the Chinese elements, so it was too mixed to read.

8. The fact that the girl's family does not let the child interact with little Dre is inexplicable, and the later softening of the attitude is also inexplicable. The change in attitude of the characters throughout the film is inexplicable.

9. In terms of the plot, I always feel that it is a copy of Jackie Chan's earlier movies, and it can take more than two hours.

10. Fortunately, I watched the Harmony version. There is no scene of the two children kissing, otherwise it will not only be tender inside and outside focus, but it will be blurred by thunder.

As a film about Chinese Kung Fu, you really can't say it's insincere. People moved directly to China to shoot it, and I will promote you about the big pants and bird's nests, how sincere it is. But no matter how you look at it and how it feels fake, I have a hunch that China is going to be demonized, and Chinese children are going to be demonized even more.

The part about practicing Qi reminded me of "Kung Fu Panda", but I always felt that "Kung Fu Panda", a "fake" (animated) movie in terms of content and information, was better than "Kung Fu Dream". Much more real.

As an adult, after watching "Kung Fu Panda", I feel that I have learned something, and I have gained and moved; but after watching this film, I began to wonder if I am too ignorant of the post-90s generation and how to shape Chinese children. To be so cruel?

Finally, there is a point worth commending is that Jackie Chan's old-fashioned performance is good, and he has risen to a powerful faction.
