Jackie Chan has also changed

see that again this has been a slight weakness of the face, such as deep wrinkles countless Daojian in this brave face to draw the traces, how many times overlapping images, without the aid of any I have already recalled, You can completely restore his once smooth appearance. Looking at his vicissitudes of decree lines and the frown of love debt, one can't help but think of what Yeats wrote in "When You Are Old", "There is only one person who loves your pilgrim soul and the pain of your aging face. The wrinkles..." Years can take away a person's youth so mercilessly, even though it has also been given inexplicably.
Jackie Chan, he also deserves this sentence.
In the once glorious and prosperous age of Hong Kong movies, "success in two weeks" is the guarantee of unbeaten box office. And Chow Yun-fat once made a tertiary film, Chow Xingchi used to be a dragon with a few lines of dialogue in the TV series, and Jackie Chan was just an inconspicuous meat target in Bruce Lee's movies. However, who can imagine that if the history of Hong Kong films lacks their faces, how much of the splendid appearance and legendary brilliance of those films will be dimmed? Now, when this person who stepped from the bottom to the top of the king's mountain, and then slowly walked down the mountain, facing the uphill mountain, like Nicholas Tse, he inherited the honor and inherited the handsome star, and then looked back. With that Fang Zuming, who was born with almost the same face as himself, tremblingly stepped into the movie world, but I don't know what kind of taste was born in my heart?
This is a man who plays a hot-blooded policeman, a righteous chef, a memoryless agent, and a prodigal son who was born to be adventurous. His wit and kung fu, his double eyelid cut and his congenital big nose do not seem to be commensurate with his romantic history.
But now I just want to figure out what made such a person finally kneel on the ground and beg Daniel Wu for mercy.
A few years ago, he nearly lost his life in an accident on the crew of "Dragon Brothers and Tigers", he once slipped off a vertical pole running through a department store in "Police Story", and once in "Simple Mission" with the seabed. The shark made the most intimate contact and once made the most amazing jump on the rooftop of "Red Zone". People go to Jackie Chan movies again and again for one reason or another. However, how can a person who is so desperate to be willing to let a trivial kneeling become the selling point of the movie? Perhaps, we can also count the selling point used in the previous "Flying Dragon Rebirth" - Jackie Chan, who will never die, finally "dies" once. Or maybe you can add the selling point used in "Rush Hour 2" - the tough guy Jackie Chan streaking naked for 100 meters... and the cowardly taxi driver in "Tuxedo", he only played so much with that magical outfit. Lots of gimmicks.
Perhaps these answers lie in "New Police Story," a movie that claims to have been heavily invested in making. All the bridges, all the layouts, are so familiar, but Jackie Chan has lost the skills of the year. Time has changed, and his opponent is no longer the sword, gun and stick that Huang Feihong has to face, the pirates that Ma Rulong has to face, or the New York gangster that the Chinese-American youth has to face. What he has to deal with is the new and new human beings who are rich but robbed, and the special gangsters who use heavy weapons to fight pistols.
And most importantly, Jackie Chan has also changed.
His name used to be the outline of a movie era, and the ruler in the memory of many boys. He learned from Bruce Lee whether kung fu can be an alternative gesture, and from Spielberg to learn the ups and downs of movies, the connection. He makes people believe that as long as he has the ability, even if he is not handsome enough, he can become a star. He is not Chow Yun-fat or Stephen Chow, as long as he has a toothpick in his mouth or laughs in the sky, he is maverick enough. He used his scars all over his body to get his autograph on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Even if it is a kung fu movie that is full of punches, he said that he does not want to bring bad children, so there are few bloody scenes in his movies, and there is not even a word of swearing. His body is Acura's weapon of justice, so the golden light shines. He in turn inspires happiness, and another layer of understanding of kung fu, often at the same time.
But now he seems to be more like a nostalgic term. The time when he was young is no more. When he was young, he was a drunken Wong Feihong, a risk-seeking "fighting". Just sitting on a chair and practicing the engine car, you can Yuen Yuyi silently praised: "A serious man is really handsome!" However, in one of his latest works, "New Police Story", he played an old policeman who was played around in the world of young people, even the man beside him. The partners can't tell the truth from the fake, and the last "trophy" is only by his side all the time - love.
Yes, I miss watching Jackie Chan and the scenes that brought me joy. The two sides were deadlocked. ——“Bah”, spit and spit; he punched, punched, and then retracted, suddenly his face twitched, shaking his hands and oh, oh, he didn’t dare to cry out in pain; Stunning jumps, tense and exciting adventure plots, and the courage to go up the mountain and go down the sea of ​​fire.
I even always stubbornly believed that such a tough guy should not be old.
However, the years have come and gone, and he has taken away his best time, leaving only warm memories.
And these memories are all like what he said to Nicholas Tse, a terrified teenager who had just bombed the building at the end of "SWAT New Man
" , to the effect: "Young man, I used to be much stronger than you. It's gone!"
