The winner in life is to be a bitch and set up a torii

No matter what percentage of Chinese ancestry Keanu Reeves has, it will not change the fact that his understanding of Chinese culture is only superficial. If you are fortunate enough to watch Brother Keanu's "The Day the Earth Stood Still", you will definitely remember his broken Chinese. To be honest, if it wasn't for the English subtitles, I really don't know what he's talking about.
For such a Chinese blind person, making a purely Chinese-style action movie really makes people sweat. Coupled with the experience that Keanu has never held a guide tube before, it can basically be concluded that "Man of Tai Chi" is definitely a To be tragic, Brother Keanu and the producers are just trying to make a fortune in the Chinese film market under the rubble. It's a pity that their wishful thinking didn't work out well. The poor quality of "Man of Tai Chi" not only made it not meet good box office expectations, but also had a certain negative impact on Brother Keanu's image. . Although it is cooperating with Hollywood giants like Universal, the film wants to win back the investment in North America, which is basically as ridiculous as hoping that the national football team will win the Hercules Cup within ten years.
Speaking of the movie itself, if you look at it purely from the point of view of an action movie, "Man of Tai Chi" is still enjoyable to a certain extent, but it has not changed much until the end, and the audience has long been exhausted. Chen Hu's kung fu foundation is not bad, but the rigid facial expression makes people wonder if he has facial paralysis, not to mention that a real facial paralysis like Kitano Takeshi can create a good character, Brother Chen, don't you feel ashamed? However, the casting ability of the crew is still good. The no-existence heroine and Chen Hu stand together, it is quite harmonious, it is a match made in heaven.
If you read the credits at the end of the film carefully, you will be surprised to find that the screenwriter of this film is an authentic foreigner, so it is understandable that there are more bugs in the story of the film than there are stars in the sky. Culture aside, but at least your story has to be in line with common sense. After watching the movie, I kept thinking, why did Chen Hu's master accept him as an apprentice? It stands to reason that there is only one apprentice who explained the harsh conditions of accepting an apprentice, but Chen Hu showed his inner anger from the very beginning, such a violent man. Apprentices can learn Tai Chi, is he the illegitimate son of Master Yang?
Although the name of the movie is "Xia of Tai Chi", does the whole movie have a relationship with "Xia"? Could it be that Chen Hu is also called a chivalrous man for fighting black boxing just to repair the temple? Even if he helped the Hong Kong police in the end, it was purely out of self-interest, not to mention that he didn't play any role in destroying the illegal program group, and in the end he was forced to fight because the BOSS came to him. If Chen Hu's actions can be called chivalrous, then those mistresses who are fighting on the front line of anti-corruption are all worthy of us to build monuments for them. What is even more incredible is that the Hong Kong police did not hold Chen Hu accountable at all. In the end, Chen Hu drove the car and spent money. Not only did he successfully hold the beauty back, but he also helped the temple become a key cultural relic under protection. He was a complete winner in life. , and a winner who became a bitch and successfully built a torii.
Of course, "Man of Tai Chi" is not without merit. The layered photography is still relatively standard: all kinds of messy Beijing and beautiful Hong Kong can be distinguished at a glance. Although it is an indisputable fact that Beijing's air is worse than traffic jams, Beijing still has its own unique charm. And although Hong Kong has the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient", it also has its ignominious side. I believe that the whole world will not be able to find a city that has only advantages and no disadvantages, and the writers and directors of "Man of Tai Chi" smear Beijing and praise Hong Kong so much.
I believe that with the continuous rise and opening of the Chinese film market, more and more foreign film companies will come to China to make money under the guise of cooperation. Therefore, I advise all viewers to look after their own pockets and not easily hand over their hard-earned money. To those unscrupulous businessmen.
PS: I think Karen Mok is the real BOSS. The car rolled off the cliff and fell so she was unscathed. Dare you ask if you are a relative of Wonder Woman?
