"Because that is Jackie Chan, so he is omnipotent." Yesterday I watched "British Showdown" with my sister. Although I knew the "political thriller" mentioned in the previous promotion, I still regarded it as a Jackie Chan-style family carnival. Action movies, until I watched a movie, I was still looking forward to the fight between the protagonist of the first 007 movie I have seen and the best action movie star in my heart. You can do none of these. From the very British blue-gray filter at the beginning of the movie, to Jackie Chan’s sunken eye sockets, drooping cheeks and gully crisscrossing and undisguised aging face, to the explosion of Jackie Chan’s bruises, crying and crying with his daughter, I understand this. The movie is definitely not an action comedy that used to be, nor is it a call to the main theme like "Lion Falling from the Sky". The movie "British Showdown" is very cold, very brave, and very gentle. Jackie Chan plays a 63-year-old father Guan Yuming in this movie. He is of Chinese descent from Vietnam. He had experience fighting in the US special forces. Two daughters were abducted and killed by pirates. His wife had difficulty giving birth when she gave birth to a third daughter. He died, and the terrorist attack caused by the imbalance between the politician and the mob at the beginning of the film deprived him of his last relative. And he was full of hatred and embarked on the road of revenge in the most primitive and cunning way. I think everyone who sees Minister Hannis reading Guan Yuming's information will smile knowingly. This guy with long curly hair, big nose, simple smile and strong body in the profile is not the Jackie who grew up with us. Chan! But the contrast that followed makes people sad again. Jackie Chan or Guan Yuming is getting old. His legs and feet are not so neat, and his waist is not straight. The aging facial muscles can no longer hold the gully skin, and the temples have not had time to make up. Dyed white hair covered with frost and snow. Like every assassin in Chinese history, this father used war experience and courage, blood, sweat and hatred to forge himself into that fish-intestine sword. It was the most powerful and sharpest sword in the world. The moment I saw it, the knife saw blood in exchange for life. The 60-year-old Jackie Chan just won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. In this movie, he still adheres to the principle of no substitutes, and dedicated the best and highest level action scenes in the world. His opponents are all tall Europeans. He fell from a high platform and was wounded by a bullet. Fortunately, Guan Yuming and Jackie Chan both succeeded. Just as the meaningful subtitle "An Ordinary Person" appeared in a special flash after the opening title appeared, the film deliberately weakened Jackie Chan's omnipotence and deliberately reduced the action scene, so that it deliberately blurred Guan Yuming's good and evil. . You see that he is lonely and courageous to avenge his daughter is good, but can he use whatever means to achieve his goal? You see that he makes explosive traps and singles out mercenaries to be omnipotent. How about holding his daughter crying bitterly, bandaging wounds in the rain, and finally unaware of the red dots of the sniper rifle on his temple? So in fact Guan Yuming is really just an ordinary person. A British government can find out the truth about a terrorist attack with or without him. The mobs will be sanctioned with or without him. With or without him, hypocritical politicians will be exposed, ordinary people. However, the story of the small person in the big event is better, isn’t it? He is an aging father, just like thousands of ordinary people around you and me. For such a movie, I don’t want to talk about the defects of the movie itself, but besides that, the performance of the translation team at Bayi Film Studio is very bad. Let me talk about the title first. The unintelligible title of "British Match" made me think that the aging 007 would take off his shirt and glasses, revealing his fangs as a former UDI member, and would not bear with Jackie Chan. However, until the end, Brosnan only appeared as a masked loser, which did not quite match the title of this seemingly action movie. I want to follow the English title "The Foreigner" The direct translation into "The Foreigner" is much more appropriate. Probably because of the torture of TPO... When watching movies, I have been paying attention to the English lines. Compared with the English lines in the London accent, the translation team put "He won't give up. No point to waking the dragon." Translated into "He has a beginning and an end, there is no need to do more." It really helps...Because of the entanglement between Northern Ireland and British dynasties for centuries behind the political game, it is not wise to take my sister to watch this movie. For her , UDI and Northern Ireland are a little hard to understand. But she asked me: "Is Jackie Chan really so good? Can you fight the mob with one to ten?" I said, "Because he is Jackie Chan, he is omnipotent."
