Every time I watch Jackie Chan's movies, I can feel a relatively pale mental retardation (although I don't hate this actor), and every time I can't help but think of "no culture". "The King of Kung Fu" makes this feeling far away from me. Although the stories made up by Americans are very routine, typical Hollywood blockbusters, each plot can make you think of the final result. American boys who have learned Chinese kung fu will definitely be able to Defeat the hooligans, but undoubtedly, his screenwriter is more rigorous and logical. The Jade Border God of War can be beaten with a single hair, and even a single hair can save the Monkey King five hundred years later. Chinese people say that no coincidence is a book, but Chinese people don't dare to be popular. The screenwriter always wants to make something bizarre, so that people can't guess it is creative. Americans let you guess that in the end good will triumph over evil, but let you guess that the heroine will die. After her death, you can guess that they will meet in the 21st century, but you can't guess the mysterious "swallow" symbol on the small shop in Chinatown. A little bit of subtlety, the film becomes lovely. This is the power of screenwriters.
If it wasn't from your favorite "Journey to the West", would you still be so harsh?
