From martial arts movies, to kung fu movies, to action movies, but you can see the chivalrous sentiment in the hearts of Chinese people

When I saw the eyeball with a throwing knife, I pressed my chest and felt very uncomfortable: Don't shoot like this! The fourth part must not be imported in China! ! !

Cough!

I have watched the "Quick Kill" series of trilogy, and turned a few pages of short and long comments from netizens under the trilogy. I deeply feel that this chivalrous sentiment of walking through the rivers and lakes with swords has long been ingrained in the hearts of Chinese people, so I look back. Take a look at the screen memory of a post-90s action movie.

The only action movie watched in cinemas in recent years is "Ip Man 4" (regardless of the definition, and look at the Wikipedia mark of "Ip Man", the type is action). Last year, on January 21, 2020, the epidemic broke out but the city had not reached the state of alert. At that time, Wuhan had two days to close the city. I dragged my friends to accompany me to the city to finish the article. When Ye Wen asked Ye Zheng to hold a video recorder to take pictures of the pair of wooden figures, when the sad background music rang in his ears, when the highlights of the entire movie series were like a revolving lantern, when Bruce Lee slowly walked into the mentor’s mourning hall, my The corners of the eyes are almost moist. Sitting in the cinema, I didn’t know what to do, but I really wanted to do what, so I walked to the big screen and made a fool of Tai Chi, which I often saw when passing by in the park, and let me watch the movies with me. Friends took a picture.

When I was young, I didn't have the concept of action movies. Maybe the concept of the mainland film market was not mature at that time, or it was a luxury to go to the cinema. What I hear is the existence called martial arts film, even now, the elders still use this wording.

At that time, the joy of martial arts movies was in the square TV set, in the discs rented in the audio-visual store, and in the CCTV6 holiday specials during the winter and summer vacations. They were Jackie Chan’s Kung Fu comedy series and Jet Li’s Huang Feihong. The series, Yen Zidan's Jing Wumen Chen Zhen, Wu Jing's "Tai Chi Master", Zhang Weijian's "Young Zhang Sanfeng", Jin Yong Gulong's martial arts movies, etc., are too numerous to mention. At that time, I was so excited to see the beating, killing, killing, and killing (I should be a normal teenager).

Later, from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Hero", the definition of a kung fu movie seemed to spread in China, but the real maturity is when the kung fu superstar represented by Jackie Chan enters Hollywood.

Now, as a more common and general definition, action movies are integrated into industrialized commercial movies. If the subject matter of the "Fast and Furious" series as an example can be matched with action movies, then I would prefer to treat the subject matter of the super-British series that is currently popular worldwide as a special effects movie, because human vision is destined to be unable to accept everything in an instant. Information, the dazzling special effects on the big screen will be the first to cover up other elements, such as action design, character expressions, and communication of lines. But I still remember the ecstasy in my heart when I saw the American team in "Avengers 4" pick up Quake and Thanos one-on-one, and played one after another.

Where does this ecstasy come from? From the above-mentioned on-screen memory deep in the bone marrow.

And the above simple memories are only derived from the unilateral thinking of a young man in the fringe area of ​​urban and rural areas. Why is there no Bruce Lee? Because I first knew that Bruce Lee was also passed on through word of mouth from his elders, but I never watched a movie of him completely, so although there is this legend in my mind, it is not deep and a bit regrettable. After all, the term Kung Fu means Bruce Lee wrote into the English dictionary.

The on-screen memory of each Chinese is different, but there is definitely one feeling that is the same, that is, the martial arts and the flavour of the rivers and lakes that many netizens feel after watching the "Quick Chase" series. How deep is this feeling?

Where did the "Quick Hunting" series poke us? It is this feeling that is poked. Because if you talk about fists, bullets, swords and swords, and hearty, the Tonija series and the "Assault" series are even better.

From martial arts movies, to kung fu movies, to action movies, the movie market has been booming, and the types of movies have been expanding. Rise, similar to "Attack on Giant", "EVA", etc.), film art has been reborn (silent to sound, black and white to color, 2D to 3D, etc.), but I believe that the chivalrous feelings in the hearts of Chinese people are rooted. What will migrate is part of the national gene.

Imagine that thousands of years ago, our ancestors carried a jug of wine on the vast land of China, cut a beast, walked a lifetime, listened to a rain, watched a lifetime, and loved someone.

Finally, this reminiscence film review can actually be placed under many domestic and foreign action movies, but it is placed under "Quick Chase" because after watching a small number of movies, when watching the film , As if there is always a shadowless hand, pulling my time thoughts back.
