A good movie from an action point of view

It’s been a long time since I stopped to watch a kung fu faction. Watching foreign kung fu films is always a little uncomfortable, and domestic kung fu films (martial arts films) are full of trumped-up special effects and flashy, but “Xia of Tai Chi” is really a movie A sincere Chinese kung fu film, and considering that the director is a foreigner, and thinking of the brotherhood between director Lao Li and the starring, I can't help but deeply praise the movie.

Every fight moves to perfection, every move is authentic, hard and powerful, skillful, designed just right, and never gets tired of watching. In the first fight, you can see a lot of Tai Chi's shadow, and his push and block are quite Tai Chi style. As for other moves, there is a post saying that it is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I am not a professional person, so I will not comment. But the action style of each fight is obviously different, the more you fight, the more fierce and direct the fight becomes. Since in the film, tiger has already said that this boxing is "my own", then why not learn from the strengths of many families, why stick to Tai Chi.

The Tai Chi man I understand is not a person who only uses Tai Chi, but a martial artist who learns Tai Chi Kungfu and understands the spirit of Tai Chi. In today's impetuous and confused fast food society, how many people can do the "slow" that Master has repeatedly taught.

In addition, the soundtrack is excellent, the structure is compact, the switching of the lens is slack, and the supporting characters are very beautiful (handsome), which is very aesthetically pleasing.

There are still some shortcomings in the plot. For example, is it too fast for the police to surround the arena to arrest the criminals, and there should be no police officers stupid enough to use their mobile phones to contact the killer. . . ?

But I don't agree with some posts that say, "The first half of the film is too procrastinated, it's all about fighting and killing." Does this guy have any brains? It is obvious that the whole film is fighting and killing, because others It's a real kung fu movie, not an artificial costume romance and martial arts movie. If you like to watch the plot, please don't choose this movie. For those who like to watch police and bandit movies, I'm sorry, but I'm also disappointed. The movie's police and bandit plots are actually quite few, and they are also slightly mentally retarded. In fact, the whole movie really revolves around a warrior, from simplicity to violence, to the process of returning to the heart. Maybe in this process, the "chivalry" of the protagonist is not reflected enough, but this does not prevent the "chivalry" that the whole film admires.

A chivalrous person is not necessarily a person who walks the path for heaven, draws a sword to help when the road sees injustice, or is the first in his fists and feet, slaying evil and eradicating evil. The two characters of chivalry, focusing on experience and comprehension, are a kind of spiritual enlightenment. Ever since tiger was unwilling to finish the soldier, I felt that it was time for him to wake up. really.

Recommend this movie, unfortunately it can no longer support it at the box office.
