Beyond kung fu

At the beginning of the story, when the machine gun fired by one husband, Guan Wanfu, met with Chen Zhen, a Chinese worker in World War I, it heralded the small peasant complex of the story as a whole: after resignation, it eventually broke out due to bloodshed. This kind of small farmer complex runs through our daily life from beginning to end, and it has not changed even in the vicissitudes of life. It's like when we step back and point at each other's nose and say "wait for you" in the usual fight - it's not that I fight, but I just don't want to fight. When I really want to fight, I will beat you half to death. And the views on the other, the woman and the country revealed in the film still cannot escape the inherent thinking of this small peasant thought. But as Chen Zhen said at the Hongkou Dojo in the movie, if you don't change it, you will fall behind. Even if you don't change the medicine, you can add sugar to the soup.
"Zhen Kung Fu" is still the highlight of the film. This kind of beauty mixed with various martial arts is more than what can be covered by the sentence "Fun to Flesh". In the traditional sense, Chinese martial arts are philosophical, not practical weapons. The ruler is short and the inch is long. The competition of weapons does not lie in the weapons themselves, but in the harmony and unity of weapons and people. When Taekwondo and Aikido combined with dance and self-defense were developed and promoted, Chinese martial arts still adhered to a mysterious posture of the other. Also as martial arts stars, Jet Li and Donnie Yen seem to develop along these two lines of thinking. "Huo Yuanjia" emphasizes right and wrong, while Donnie Yen shows off his muscles. This reminds me of the WWE I usually like to watch. It is meaningless to argue about the authenticity of the plot and actions. The key is to watch the blood of the people. When I'm old, let me learn Tai Chi again.
Another point worth noting is the beauty of personal heroism. The Shanghai beach in the movie is very beautiful, and even more beautiful is the hero standing on the roof of the oil painting city. This style is obviously influenced by American animation heroes, and Donnie Yen's quick kung fu movements are undoubtedly more aggressive in this style. . Although under the current situation at the time, the black man was ultimately no match for the huge assassination team, but in the end, even the patrolman played by Huang Bo had to be influenced by heroism and rebelled, which is also the most common in heroic movies. It is worth noting that under the performance of this personal heroism, the film reflects the confrontation between the individual and the collective. The film is so distinct that I think the best few minutes are in it, or guess the writer in the middle is a hired gunman.
Overall, it's a fast-paced action movie, and outside of kung fu, it's a bewilderment of kung fu itself
