Film review three years ago (4)

It's a good film, and the effect of China Film Southern Kingdom is really nothing to say. This is the second time in about three years that I have gone to the cinema to watch a movie. The last time was King Kong. Now there are fewer and fewer good films, but the two I have watched are both good films... Haha~~ I'm
quite moved after reading it, after all, it arouses the patriotic feeling in our hearts. The woman sitting in front of me cried, and she stayed in her seat crying after the movie ended. I didn't cry, I felt a little ashamed. However, it is rare to see a movie crying now, and my heart is not as soft as it used to be. Maybe there are really fewer and fewer good movies now, especially movies that can grab the hearts of the audience are really hard to find. My eyes were wet when I watched King Kong. I don't know much about movies, but I think the most fundamental thing is not to make people feel that going to a movie to watch a movie is a waste of money.
Yasuno Tanaka in the film is a good man, but he is indeed not a good Japanese, at least for that Japanese "gentleman". I don't know if it's a prejudice against Japan or what, I always feel that if it's really Japanese, it probably won't do this. But the director handled it this way, probably to highlight that Huo Yuanjia really used the spirit of martial arts to defeat everyone and himself. When he said he wanted to continue fighting, I felt very complicated. I covered my mouth with one hand, I was really afraid that I would accidentally call out. But I really admire him from the bottom of my heart, whether it's Jet Li in the movie or the real Huo Yuanjia. What he conveyed to us is the spirit of martial arts. Bruce Lee brought Chinese Kongfu to the whole world. In our own land, it was only a lively concern, but in other people's places today, it is getting more and more attention.
China's vast land, vast and profound resources amaze the world, but we ourselves have lost ourselves in the process of pursuing GDP. It seems that it is time to find the root. When it develops to a certain extent, you should look back and find your root, which is the biggest motivation to go on.

    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.

    I'm torn between giving one star or two. This movie is still watchable, but I really can't find any bright spots. It's hard to evaluate this kind of movie.

Fearless quotes

  • 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.

  • Anno Tanaka: Since there's no superiority or inferiority in Wushu, why still have competition?

    Huo Yuan Jia: I believe that there's no superiority or inferiority in Wushu. Just the distinction of practitioners with different levels of ability. Through the competition we can discover this and meet the true self. Because indeed the antagonist is namely ourself. Only through competition, can one recognise one's true self.
