Last night, because I was angry with my family, I didn't want to do anything, and I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to watch a movie temporarily, so I saw Jackie Chan's "British Showdown" on iQIYI.
Guan Yuming (played by Jackie Chan) and his daughter Xiaofan (played by Leung Pei-shi) are living together in London, England. In a terrorist attack, his daughter Xiaofan died tragically. Guan Yuming has sought help from the British government many times, but the relevant high-ranking government officials are just perfunctory and do nothing. Guan Yuming cannot accept it. At the same time, he firmly believes that Lime (Pierce Brosnan) and the terrorist organization and the truth of the incident are inextricably linked. Split ties. So he decided to avenge his daughter Xiaofan in his own way.
The other foreign actors in the movie, I am not very familiar with, because I rarely watch movies. . . You can't really see their facial expressions or anything like that. Only Jackie Chan's Guan Yuming was very impressive. The play in his eyes and the emotions that came out of his eyes moved me very much.
In the first scene, Guan lives a smooth and stable life. He has a daughter at home and runs a small shop. His life is ordinary with small happiness. When he went to pick up Xiaofan, he also talked with Xiaofan about her boyfriend, his eyes were full of happiness and love.
Act two, the first explosion.
Regardless of his own injury, Guan found his dead daughter, hugged her tightly, and cried very sadly.
In this section, Guan's eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were sad. There is nothing else to say, in fact, what I am most pleased with is the emotion that comes out of my eyes. Jackie Chan is an old actor, and these performances may be easy to do, but this is still the highlight. In addition, Jackie Chan starred in his true colors. He was a man in his 60s and played a 60-year-old father. Eyes are the most agile part of a person. The eyes of the elderly, when they collapse, are the traces of the years and the testimony of Guan Yuming's unfortunate life's vicissitudes of life. Then again, the grief of losing her daughter brought tears to these weather-beaten eyes. I don't know how to describe it, Xiaofan is everything about Guan, without Xiaofan, the sky of Guan would collapse, and his world would be in a haze.
In the second act, Guan goes to the police officer with his savings. This scene is simply very familiar. This is a true portrayal of any powerless and powerless little commoner when he is desperate. I put my hopes on people with power, but I am worried that they will not really do things well, or that the police will only be willing to do things well if they receive red envelopes.
In the third act, the terrorists responsible for Xiaofan's death are still at large, and the perfunctory investigation by senior government officials has not progressed. Guan realizes that Deputy Minister Lem is related to terrorists, and decides in his heart to find terrorists at all costs and avenge Xiaofan. In this scene, Guan burned the photos of his three daughters, and his eyes changed. From the beginning, there was only sadness to the perseverance in his eyes.
He himself also realized how dangerous what he was about to do, and his eyes became firm. First, this road to revenge was long and difficult. The second is to hold on to the idea of seeing death as home, not giving up until the goal is achieved, even if you die in the process of finding the terrorists, you are not afraid.
Probably, Guan is a feeling similar to the desperadoes. Since there is nothing left, it's a big deal to fight to the death, so that my old life is worth it.
The fourth act is Guan's great show. In this section, Guan makes improvised bombs, fights with Lime's bodyguards, ambushed in the jungle, and fights against Sean. Not as good as when I was young. I have to admit that Uncle Long is old.
In the jungle scene, Guan was injured. When he took the knife to get the bullet, the hot knife stuck to the flesh and made a sizzling sound. It was really painful, and Guan Du fainted in pain.
When Guan Zai learned that Sean was also an orphan, the compassion in his heart made him let Sean go.
In the fifth act, in the final action, Guan finds the terrorists and destroys them in the den, insisting that he avenged Xiaofan. Although it may seem redundant, there are some things that only make sense if you do it yourself.
This movie, although I don't understand it very well, is it true that Jackie Chan is dispensable by other soybean oil? I won't analyze it more deeply, I will only watch the plot.
In "British Showdown", what I see is the image of an old father, but this is also Jackie Chan getting old. I still remember a few of his films I watched a few years ago, but I didn't have such a strong feeling. Very reluctant to admit this.
Jackie Chan is in his 60s and is still filming. The fights and somersaults in the movie are all real. People who practice martial arts always have various injuries on their bodies. In this movie, there are no When I saw that Jackie Chan had no wounds on his body, I admired him in addition to admiration.
On the other hand, those little fresh meats in modern times, if they want to have no acting skills, they still look for substitutes from time to time, and their voices come and go, which is almost impossible to watch.
