Huo Yuanjia: Everyone is a philosopher

Emilio 2022-04-20 09:01:58

I watched Jet Li's new film Huo Yuanjia in the afternoon.

Before watching the film, Jet Li said on many occasions that his Huo Yuanjia was different from the previous ones, and he wanted to convey a concept, a truth that his previous films had never told.

So, we see that everyone in Huo Yuanjia is a philosopher: parents, village girls, Nong Jinsun... Even the little Japanese opponents are influenced by philosophy and are willing to be defeated.

I can't say that Jet Li's intentions are not good, but I always feel awkward. Embroidery needles have their own matchmaker to pick, Li Kui, forget it! In fact, there are innumerable ways to convey this big and unreasonable truth, and Jet Li chose the wrong way—of course, it was his only way.

Of course, the scenes of the movie are still wonderful, at least better than 80% of the movies.

Fearless quotes

  • Moon: because, "If you're sad", my Grandma told me "then cry", "After you cry, you still have to live life"

  • Huo Yuan Jia: Poison works very quickly. It has worked its way to my heart... Zhensheng, promise me you won't seek revenge. Revenge will only bring us more bloodshed. Please, that's not what I want. We must strive to become triumphant... Nong Jinsun, I only understand wushu. I practiced for many years to understand what Wushu is, what is wushu's real purpose. The competition must continue. One cannot choose how one's life begins. It takes courage to finish the final step.
