Jackie Chan's eyes pierced my heart

The understanding of the actors is the work, and the understanding of Jackie Chan is the movie, the Chinese Kung Fu movie. By chance, I met Jackie Chan in Lhasa because of the "Beijing Jackie Chan Foundation" sponsored a 2 million charity project. Seeing the deity is completely different from the screen, without the slightest arrogance, smiles when seeing anyone? Face, hands-on work, meticulous, people are always vigorous, with piercing eyes.

The 63-year-old "middle-aged man" has been involved in charitable activities from the moment he settled down in Lhasa, and he also told us that his heart rate is not happy from time to time, so everyone can rest assured. Many people asked him to sign and finished signing with a smile, until the doctor noticed hypoxia in the lips and asked for a rest. This resulted in me not having the signature of my eldest brother.

That day, my eldest brother showed us the promo of "British Showdown" on the computer, as well as the movie episode, and told us that it would be released on September 30. At that time, it felt completely different from previous Chinese Kung Fu movies. Especially those eyes, gloom, tolerance and anger are intertwined on the face of an old man. Everyone expressed their support after the release. It finally came true today.

The eldest brother changed his previous martial arts style and performed a story about killing a woman after losing her last relative, a daughter. The plot is not complicated, but Guan Yuming (played by Jackie Chan) is complicated inside. Jackie Chan always uses actions to express characters, and this movie uses his eyes to express a person's state of extreme anger. And the action is just an assistant to the eyes.

When I was with my daughter, I told him to look lovingly in the eyes of my daughter; the sad eyes when he was holding his daughter’s body in the ruins; the helpless eyes when calling and requesting to meet countless times, asking the murderer to be punished but no one paid attention; The firm eyes when deciding to take revenge in his own way; the clever eyes when dealing with opponents; the tearful eyes when he embraces Lin Baoyi (played by Liu Tao) after the revenge is successful. Jackie Chan’s eyes touched my heart from beginning to end. I was completely conquered by his acting skills.

    The ending song is a bit... The Seven Little Fortune-style fights are a bit overwhelming, not enough for special forces. Others are very good, I liked Martin Campbell's style to see it. Jackie Chan got a lot of scenes...another story about the british empire's unclean ass...

    My wife is a terrorist, his subordinates are terrorists, my wife and nephew are asleep, and the lover I'm looking for is a terrorist. Every day, I am harassed by a Chinese uncle from the office to the home. There is no need for a confrontation at all. 007 has collapsed~

The Foreigner quotes

  • Liam Hennessy: You killed my dog.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

  • Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.

    Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?

    Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?

    Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.

    Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.

    Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [backhands Hennessy in the face] We are NOTHING alike. You're NOTHING! You kill women and children! NAMES!

    Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]

    Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.

    Liam Hennessy: ...what if they don't set off a bomb by then?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.

    [leaves]

    Liam Hennessy: ...Jesus. Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus.
