"Wu Xia" did not show the most necessary chivalry spirit, which is definitely not in Yen Zidan. Takeshi Kaneshiro behaves more like a modern detective, with a little surpassing and deviating from his handling methods and logical reasoning. When it comes to feelings, it is more emphasis on propaganda outside the film. Specifically in the film, "wuxia" seems to have become a pure display, and the film is closer to action or kung fu movies. If you put the background of the times in, no matter the end of the Qing Dynasty or the beginning of the Republic of China, when the fire of revolution was already burning everywhere in China, the "wuxia" here was actually at the end of the war and was about to die out. If you look at it with tolerance, there is no doubt that "Martial Arts" can only be an old-style martial arts. To be a new martial artist's in-laws, it is a bit unqualified.
According to the distance of time, "Martial Arts" first reminds people of Su Zhaobin's "Sword Rain" last year. The killer hides his name and lives an extremely ordinary civilian life. You don't need to guess this. Two different films, a similar hidden theme. As my friend analyzed, it is destined to become a classic tragedy of fate in the end. In "Martial Arts", it becomes a entanglement between two families, a final father-son duel. New and old accounts are settled together, and everyone loves reunion.
Secondly, some people doubt that Yen Zidan is possessed by "Ip Man", otherwise, why bother to have a daily routine and daily routine. In fact, this is not an important matter. It is not that Donnie Yen played like Ye Wen or that "Ip Wen" influenced "Martial Arts", but how Donnie Yen plays him. In the end, it can only be Donnie Yen. When it comes to Takeshi Kaneshiro who doesn’t practice magical skills, loves “science” and loves “speaking” more, the entangled setting of the characters' schizophrenia, until returning to the scene and simulating the murder process, I have the illusion that he is replaying "Wounded City" and went wrong. Up the set. This may be really an illusion, but it shows to some extent that Wuxia cannot be unified in style. Especially after Seventy-two Disha appeared, the movie was completely broken, and nothing happened with Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Finally, it is Wang Yu and "One Armed Sword". Since the disputes between science and pseudoscience are ignored, it doesn't matter whether the left or right is broken here. Perhaps Chen Kexin and Yen Zidan are going to have a different game. Some people say that Hui Yinghong played very well, but when I saw Aunt Xing's eyes open and weird, I had the urge to laugh when I saw her vying with Wang Yu to expose his murderous aura. Fortunately, Hui Yinghong's fighting skills are still quite beautiful, completely overshadowing the ending battle in the rain. When Chen Ke worked so hard to find Wang Yu, Yen Zidan naturally couldn't beat his master with three punches, let alone his father. If there is no solution, the fight between father and son can be endless, until the two die together, it is for the heartfelt compassion. However, Wang Yu is very old, and Donnie Yen is overdrafted. This fight is the best way to fight quickly. So after "Martial Arts", there will be a new joke circulating outside the cinema: the old king next door, do you know how he died?
When Yen Zidan was anxious to break with the past, that was Chen Kexin's attitude towards traditional martial arts, but he couldn't let it go. What's more, his self-awareness and typological flaws also affected his creation-after all, this is just a martial arts in his eyes. When Yen Zidan faces his father, it will also remind people of the relationship between Chen Kexin and his father. He gained experience from his father and embarked on the film road. Now, while regaining the past, while thinking of another way, I suffer from the lack of two ways. From a higher perspective, Chen Kexin is obviously not the most profitable Hong Kong director in the wave of co-productions. However, in the face of the mainland production environment, he is already the one who integrates best.
"Swordsman" has the style of a small village on the border of Yunnan, and it also has the last miss of pastoral songs. Chen Kexin deliberately put in folk songs, coming-of-age ceremonies and even fish bladder condoms, many of which are not helpful to the plot story and add to the joke. This can only be said to be personal taste, not martial arts feelings. When the new-style Takeshi Kaneshiro encounters the old-style Donnie Yen, "Swordsman" has never been able to solve its biggest problem-how to unify and parallel, and subvert the audience's impression. Under the business requirement of looking for a higher and stronger opponent, Takeshi Kaneshiro hastily rushed and fell into the old standard duel at the end (it can be seen that many are unnatural), and he is really helpless. This is the wound of "Martial Arts", but also the pain of the blockbuster. Fortunately, there was that hilarious moment. When Wang Jiawei, Hou Xiaoxian and Jia Zhangke were ready to go, I don't believe you can guess the ending of martial arts.
