But I regret it, because this movie is worth that movie ticket.
A story that you can see the end from the beginning, some rotten fists, and a few familiar old faces, the orthodox Chinese martial arts movies indeed seem to have reached the end of the era. Since Huang Feihong Fang Shiyu’s fine martial arts heroes, orthodox martial arts movies have increasingly tended to self-defense fighting. The new generation of martial arts actors represented by Yen Zidan has also increasingly absorbed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, police self-defense and The concise and sharp characteristics of the weapon technique, the later killing wolves and the fuse are like this. Since the new millennium, although there have been "Fearless", "Ip Man" and the exquisite "Grand Master" hard support scenes, traditional martial arts movies still seem to have lost to the imported "Assault", South Korea "Uncle", Japan "Rurouni Kenshin" "And Hollywood's "Hurricane Rescue" also have impressive action scenes, and even those in "Captain America 2" that incorporate WWE exaggerated moves are also pleasing to the eye. After martial arts were absorbed and studied by these opponents and carried forward, the trump card of Chinese movies no longer exists.
Just like in this era when a gun can be used to kill, Wang Baoqiang's character is fighting around with a martial idiot, just for the title of the world's number one martial arts with zero gold content. This is really like the situation of the current martial arts movies.
There was a Xingyiquan master who was 5 years old and learned martial arts. He woke up at 5 o'clock every day to practice boxing for 3 hours, insisting on it for 50 years. When I was young, I once saw him, who was nearly 60 years old, randomly slapped the Baxian table with a palm, and beat a few young people who made trouble in the power supply bureau (he was the guard at the power supply bureau) into the hospital. So over the years, every time I see martial arts useless and false, I feel very sad. In this fast food age, two years of boxing practice can be decent, and taekwondo can be a black belt around the waist, but Chinese martial arts, whether it is domestic or foreign or a weapon, does not take decades of immersion to achieve success. Tai Chi, only 20 years of routines can be used to push hands, but now it's better, the aunts and uncles on the square are there to push hands.
Yes, now, no one can stay the same for 50 years, get up at 5 o'clock and practice for 3 hours. Traditional martial arts is no longer suitable for the current mechanical society, and martial arts movies will eventually come to an end.
Back then, the descendants of Chen's Tai Chi leaned against a wall of the railway station, and a dozen Japanese soldiers who tried to capture him alive could not get close. Mr. Gu Ruchang smashed 33 seamlessly stacked blue bricks (blue bricks!) shocked Europe. It was an age when the gods were flying, but they would eventually be ended by a bullet.
