Really laughing from the beginning to the end, except for a few logical flaws in the play.
Jesse Eisenberg's bitch, with a frown and a smile, every move, can't help but twist, weak but wants to prove his little pride, timid and a little black-bellied tone, it's too bone marrow!
I just like this kind of abnormal life of abnormal people, this kind of genre film that concentrates the dramatic contradictions and conflicts on one point!
So what's wrong with it?
In my opinion, since the coach is the mastermind who leads the apprentices to bully the weak, then Jesse should be seen when he watches the class for the first time, and he will not be encouraged by the coach all the time. Instead, he will be played to death. .
There have always been gyms where bloodshed and death, and the coach's equipment room is directly placed with an incinerator. Wouldn't it be a bit blatant to deal with the corpse, and is the law and order in this area so casual?
Since Jesse is a meticulous and conscientious accountant, does the coach still have the confidence to let him handle the accounts? Aren't you afraid that your black accounts will be exposed? Too insane...
However, most of these logical inconsistencies are in the second half of the film, hard-wired for reversal and echoes. And if you just look at the first half, you can see the rhythm, performance, and creativity! Jesse buys various colored belts for everyone. It's really something that a little man with a lot of ideas can do. It's heartbreaking, because I have such a friend by my side. When he goes up the stairs, he even looks like In the cartoon, the little princess raised her orchid fingers and spread them around her waist to maintain balance. When he was about to turn his head, he would also close his eyes, and then open his eyes when he turned his head into position. Seeing Jesse's superb acting, I always think of him.
The climax of the movie: Fangxiu's unarmed fighting ritual is full of sense of death, but he was directly shot in the head, and the blood-stained "One Finger Zen", Thomas, who beat his dog to death, was finally bitten to death by the German Shepherd. Anna, who wanted to get the black belt the most, was finally given the belt by Jesse... All the foreshadowings were detonated one after another, and the outrageous anger of the hilarious little person who was amazing at the scene was blown out.
Maybe because when I learned Taekwondo, I had the same purpose and appeal as Jesse, so from the beginning to the end, it has always been very immersive and made me empathize a lot. In short, I haven't had such a cool movie for a long time, let me express my mind!
