It is far better and deeper than you think

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.

    Huo Yuanjia, when did you become the number one in Tianjin? Jet Li has never made such a work since he went to the United States. Originally it was only at the level of three stars, so give four stars encouragement!

    6/10. A large number of arena competition scenes interpret the dance of violent aesthetics. For example, the British Hercules made a straight punch, and Huo Yuanjia took the punch with his right palm, stepped sideways around the back and pushed it out with his left fist, and also used the boxing ring. The elasticity of the rope moves quickly; the flexibility of the short spear is used in the spear competition to force the opponent to break the spear in angrily by winding, blocking, holding and piercing the spear; He let go; compared to the life and death battle with Qin Ye, Huo Yuanjia was angry and violent. He punched his chest with a heavy punch, and his power penetrated his back. Before he fell poisonously, he took that one from his Japanese martial arts friend. Boxing, bearing in mind that the ultimate goal of martial arts is to stop and convince people with virtue. The director’s cut version is nothing more than a sense of preaching, especially the male gaze is too strong when the female object is turned into an ideal object. Yueci’s blind image metaphors that the whole meaning of her existence is to be used as a viewing object and endowed with the function of maternal education. Calling Huo Yuanjia as an "Aniu", an incompetent warrior, he gave life to the seedlings he was eager to plant, and helped the hero to complete the transition from birth to entry into the world.
