"It's a matter of life and death."
Kung Fu is a magical force for me. When I was a child, I watched a lot of martial arts movies, and I felt that kung fu is a very mysterious thing, such as fighting cattle across the mountain, moving the universe, Jiuyin white bone claws, etc., and so on. It was only later that I realized that this was all non-existent. I really felt that I was chasing other children and shouting: "Hey, little thief, look at my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!" It was a bit silly.
Many films or TV series related to martial arts will give martial arts a good name. Learning martial arts is to protect one's precious things. Every martial arts film must have a big villain. Out of the needs of film and television effects and story development, I thought about what the most real face of martial arts is?
In the film, Feng Yuxiu mentioned many times: "Kung Fu is a killing technique." There are also many short videos of self-defense techniques on the Internet. Martial arts is not justice, on the contrary, it represents ferocity, cruelty, and viciousness. That's something left over from the battlefield, it's not martial arts, it's not acrobatics. It's like what Feng Yuxiu said: "It's a matter of life and death."
In the film, Feng Yuxiu strangled his wife Shen Xue to death. Maybe he didn't want Shen Xue to suffer any more. But here, I feel even more that the meaning of Feng Yuxiu learning martial arts is just to become the number one in martial arts. Perhaps as a martial arts idiot, the meaning of learning martial arts should be like this. kill the opponent.
It is easy for an idiot to fall into his own world and unable to extricate himself, which is also a kind of concentration. I have always believed that people should have two worlds, a world of obsession and a world of sobriety. Obsessed people can't see reality, sober people can't see beauty. Therefore, the two worlds should have something in common.
In my original conception, martial arts were in movies, and more of them were Jackie Chan movies. When I was a child, I was wondering why I always got entangled when I was fighting with others, and I have never fought so well.
Most of the film is a performance, and the purpose of the skill is to hurt the enemy. How can it take so long? The weaknesses of human beings are basically fixed, and finding the key points is basically a fatal move. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, although it is a simple movement, contains enormous power.
At the end of the film, many martial arts directors, screenwriters, directors and other participating scenes were broadcast. Many people work hard for a unified presentation effect, which may be the charm of making movies.
