A Wushu Documentary Used to Prove Chinese Philosophy Overcomes Western Thought

The protagonist is Chen Hu, a courier who works as a courier in a metropolis in the mainland. Every day, he is scolded by the boss for being a few minutes late for delivery. What will happen next? Of course, if it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster. Later, a foreigner played by Keanu Reeves came to find him and participated in the so-called martial arts competition. Driven by the temptation of money and the deception of foreign bosses, this young man named Chen Hu is trying to make money on the one hand, and on the other hand, he used his fighting victory to vent his depression over the past few years. In the constant fighting, Chen Hu became more and more impetuous. He gave up the static braking and contemplation method of Tai Chi, and turned to fighting faster, harder and more accurately, becoming more like Muay Thai, more like Europe and the United States Fighting, so that his body and mind change, more and more want to beat people, kill people. But in the end, under the guidance of the master played by Yu Hai, Chen Hu had a little understanding, and finally stopped his wrong thinking and did not degenerate into a murder weapon. His prodigal son angered the boss Keanu Reeves, and finally turned into a duel between Chen Hu and Keanu Reeves. After all the hardships, Chen Hu finally defeated Keanu Reeves. There is a hint in this ending. , Putting harmony first, the philosophy of prioritizing martial arts has finally defeated the Western fight for the purpose of killing.

I originally came to watch this film, just for Keanu Reeves. I wanted to see what a foreigner thinks about Chinese martial arts. As a result, I was disappointed that Reeves was playing a villain, with a downright "Western mindset" ". It is said that this is Keanu Reeves' villain debut, which makes me feel a little refreshed, why? In 1998, when I heard that Jet Li broke into Hollywood and rented a disc "Lethal Weapon 4" and watched it, I was very unhappy. Brother Jie turned out to be a villain. "Maybe, when he first arrived in the United States, no one helped him," said a friend who watched the film with me. We lost the taste halfway through the film, so we changed the disc and replaced it with "Speed ​​of Life and Death". My mood was a little more relaxed, and I joked to my friends who watched the film together that it would be great if the foreigner played the villain of a Chinese film. . Fifteen years later, the joke turned out to be true.

In fact, as far as Lun Kung is concerned, our Chinese martial arts are not that good, but they are not that bad either. However, we have to admit that the development of Chinese martial arts up to now, its influence is performance, entertainment, fitness are all dominated. Chinese fighters are still circling around Asia, winning and losing with each other, and rarely fighting against European and American players. For more than ten years, the Chinese Wushu Association has refused to send competitors to participate in internationally renowned fighting competitions. Nowadays, there are occasional winners, and it can be seen that the points are increased by points that foreigners are not familiar with. In Chinese kung fu movies, I rarely watch the national pride of fighting against foreigners. Because I think Chinese actors can see ribs with only one shirtless body and very few muscles, please forgive me for "judging people by appearance". The reason why I love Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia" is because this film emphasizes: "A weak person wants not to be bullied, not for revenge, but for strengthening himself, first self-improvement can be self-respect, and only by respecting life can you win the respect of others. ." This has jumped out of the martial arts philosophy, but has opened up a larger thinking about being a human being. I also love to watch "Ip Man", especially in the second part, we saw that Western boxing is not a plot that can be easily defeated. This is actually a fact in reality.

The foreigner's martial arts philosophy, in my personal opinion, is basically that the weak eat the strong, and those who should be eliminated are eliminated. This originated from the gladiator competition in ancient Rome. The British boxer in Ye Wenzhong once said: "How can I apologize to a loser, then I don't apologize every day." Although there are referees in boxing, two or three fighters die every year. The underground boxing market is even worse. It is said that there was once an American who participated in underground boxing and won 188 games, and died in more than 60 games. For me to believe in your abilities, you have to beat me. It's that simple. If you want to prove that Chinese Kung Fu is not false, you have to come up with the corresponding players. In this movie promotion, "The Man of Tai Chi" simply implies that Chinese philosophy has guided the success of Chinese martial arts, but the success of this philosophical expression is entirely fictionalized by the movie. The most powerful killing move is to hit someone from the air. The so-called Tai Chi Gong in Tai Chi Xia is neither the Yang style nor the Chen style, but a fictional Tai Chi with a history of 600 years. It is futile to rely on mysticism to prove the magical mysteries of martial arts. A hundred years ago, China was invaded and oppressed by the West, but the development of Chinese martial arts was extremely vigorous. It seems to be saying to foreigners, I am not as good as you in guns and guns, but I can surpass you in martial arts and chess. This is nothing but helplessness. self-comfort. Later, American Hollywood filmmakers catered to the concept of Chinese people and made "Kung Fu Panda 2". The boxer bragging about being invulnerable and playing with cannonballs became the true meaning of Tai Chi to make money from the Chinese people, which made people laugh and cry. . In contrast, I prefer Hong Kong's "Slaying the Wolf" and "Fuse", which are bloody fighting movies. There is no moral preaching in kung fu. If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose.
