In fact, the ultimate realm that distinguishes the quality of a movie is not the quality of photography, the gorgeousness of the dubbing, the gorgeousness and reputation of the cast, but the message and cultural value he conveys. For this movie, this is undoubtedly unmatched by other Chinese movies.
This film, known as Jet Li's film, really condenses too much effort and his perception of being a martial arts star for many years. It is a pity that Chinese people watch more lively and watch less.
Remember that when "Hero" was released in the United States, Tony Leung, Donnie Yen, these first-line superstars in China were all subtracted from the posters, and jet li was left empty. The Americans explained that the first-line superstars you mentioned are all in the United States. Never heard of it, we only know Jet Li. It's like foreigners feel like Jackie Chan and others after watching "Welcome to Beijing", the most ambitious MV in China's history, they know too little in the eyes of foreigners.
And the message conveyed by the film I mentioned is also based on this. How many people can let foreign audiences sit down and watch Chinese films honestly? Count down only Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Over the years, we have been eating McDonald’s and drinking Coca-Cola and watching American blockbusters. The cultural value of American personal heroism has been infiltrated infinitely in China (and of course democracy and freedom), and the dregs of foreign culture in political textbooks are also largely resisted. The broad and profound Chinese culture has never lacked a mouth to tell that the significance of Jet Li's movie lies in this.
When he was used to fighting and killing, when he was used to being a lone hero, and he was used to going to Longtan alone, when he saw the influence of American movies on China and the shortcomings of American culture, this Chinese took the picture. His greatest movie "Fearless". This movie is infiltrating the essence of Chinese martial arts and the essence of Chinese culture. In a sense, it is a denial and vigilance of American culture. It is impossible to solve the problem of grievances and grievances. Tolerance, kindness, and constant self-improvement are the only things that can be solved. The true meaning of martial arts.
I remember that Rui Chenggang said in the book that China’s current rapid development is obviously not proportional to the spread of culture, and it is easy to be misunderstood and colored. China is too short of something that can convey its own culture and values ​​to the world, and these things can Let China reduce a lot of hostility and conflicts from other countries.
And the reason why I say this is the best movie in China is that it set a precedent, that is, Chinese people are talking and foreigners are listening, and it really integrates Chinese culture and Chinese martial arts spirit into it and conveys itself. Values. This is something that movies like "Let the Bullets Fly" or "A World Without Thieves" can't do, because they are basically movies for Chinese people.
I have to say that Jet Li is the pride of the Chinese.

    The 141-minute director's cut DVD version feels really good to revisit this time. The plot suddenly became delicate and smooth. The director's expression is also completely acceptable. This is a good film, I remember that it was second at the box office for two consecutive weeks in North America. There are many more cut scenes, including the scenes of Michelle Yeoh at the beginning and end of the film, martial arts bidding for the Olympics, and why. I have already studied the details of life, etc., and found that it cannot be cut out at all, and it is really not perfect when it is cut. Could it be that this reservation is really for future DVD sales? It seems that this is already an international practice. Including the Lord of the Rings. It's hard for fans, and I can only watch it again for the full version in the future. This version is highly recommended. A must watch if you like this movie. This film is worth remembering. Let's talk about the famous actors in the crew. Director Yu Rentai. play
