The parents of the current main social class are about the same age as Jackie Chan, and most of them have their own offspring. From the "passion-burning" youth to "silently" taking up the responsibility, the change of mood made them gradually realize the helplessness of their dreams being diluted. When looking at Jackie Chan again, there are many regrets for the hero's twilight and pity for his parents and even himself.
Jackie Chan is old, can he still fight?
Jackie Chan movies run through two generations. When I was a child, I watched Jackie Chan with my parents, and later I watched it myself. The two generations have different concepts, and their attitudes towards their peers and their parents are diametrically opposed.
When we were young, we found it interesting to watch Jackie Chan. At that time, martial arts films finally put aside their posture and no longer had one move on the stage. "Fight + laugh" has become his signature, suitable for all ages. The fathers at that time looked at Jackie Chan just to look at themselves, and at the same time they felt that they were not serious, so they stopped looking at it later, and Jackie Chan grew old with them. As we grow up, we are more considerate of our parents and understand ourselves better.
Children are the entities that parents want. Old and old, Fang Zu's name is banned. Jackie Chan's expectations were pinched, and he began to play more of the role of "father" on the screen. "Haggard" plus "Fist is afraid of young people", his weakness and self-esteem made him look like an old lion, Xiongfeng is not there, and he is alone.
From "Police Story 2013" to "British Showdown", the themes of the film have become deeper and deeper with Jackie Chan's age. In contrast, the darker old film "New Police Story" appears frivolous and immature. Jackie Chan can still play, but with a different style. Therefore, this political thriller-style "British Showdown" is the most sophisticated and most in line with Jackie Chan's current state of film in recent years. His fighting scenes finally ceased to matter, and he played himself.
