[PS: I gave four stars to encourage it. The film has come to today, and innovation has been difficult. In recent years, "Ip Man" has become popular, and I thought that the kung fu movie was exhausted, and I had to go back to the Long March. So seeing this film is quite innovative, I think it should be applauded. Please all children's shoes with bricks in their hands, think about "The Expendables", that's a big bad
movie. Before the movie starts, the movie "Zodiac" is shown first. It's still Jackie Chan's old face, and it's still Jackie Chan's "tricks" . The film is very exciting, I can't get excited: When the best Buddha jumps over the wall, there are times when you get tired of eating, and the goddess also has a day when you can't stand up, not to mention the uncle Chen Gangsheng who is running six?
After the end of the SB (Shaw Brothers) era in kung fu movies, Jackie Chan stood firm in the banner of real kung fu, while Tsui Hark played SM with tightrope and kung fu. When these became commonplace, Zhou Xingchi made kung fu and special effects roll out of bed again. The best fight scene in "Kung Fu" is actually the parting battle between Tan Kui, Hongjia Iron Wire Fist and Wulang's Bagua Stick. The insane duel, the kung fu is fake like a renter's chest, and the stunts are rotten like a renter's face. But if there are only Tan Kui and Iron Wire Fist, will "Kung Fu" still become a box office legend? Many classics have completed the ultimate imagination of real kung fu, and the audience needs new stimulation.
"Tai Chi" has two very exciting points.
First, kung fu and special effects are suitable. In "Kung Fu", the Taijiquan of the chartered master is not as good as that of Teacher Yan Fang, but it is close to Panda Po. Too much special effects will ruin the actor's good work. "Tai Chi" is gorgeous and undistorted, just like a beautiful breast. Although it can't help but rely on Bra's foil, there are two real meat in the end. The special effects are the skin on the face, and the kung fu is the foundation. Liang Xiaolong's "cloud hands pick up the tea bowl" amazed the audience.
The second is creative expression. Online game-style character map labels, diagrams of movement and footwork when making moves, instructions for making "biochemical weapons"... There are sometimes too many words to read, and the atmosphere that can be created will make you laugh. These extra-image text designs (seemingly borrowed from BBC's Sherlock Holmes) constitute a new element of comedy. Today, when Stephen Chow can't amuse the audience, it has found a new cute tool for filmmakers.
In the first 30 minutes of the movie, the "two o'clock" can make the audience want to die. But looking at it further, I found that there are only "two points", and the weakness of the simple story becomes more and more prominent. What's even more annoying is that such a simple story has to be made into "three episodes"!
Although Hollywood can't wait to make a blockbuster into a series, but people carefully shoot an episode for two or three years, and do not engage in "two J's even hard"; each episode has a complete story and a climax, and will not only give you 90 minutes of foreplay .
There seems to be no successful precedent for Chinese-language films to be released in multiple episodes. The box office of "Journey to the West" was bad, and Stephen Chow regretted his choice to cut in half; "Red Cliff" seemed to make a profit but actually lost it, and he was scolded more than he made money. The two episodes of "Journey to the West" have their own systems, and "Red Cliff" has a famous book to rely on, but this film does not see such a background.
This first one doesn't even have a decent boss. I thought that the bulldozer Troy would show great power, but I didn't expect it to become scrap metal. The final big show is a group of mob resisting the forced demolition - Zong Ju doesn't care, everyone will go to practice Tai Chi in the future. Are you responsible for the medical expenses of the demolition team comrades?
"Tai Chi" could have created a classic, but the heart of making money is "too urgent", how to make a successful "Tai Chi"?

● Angelababy is amazing, Tony Leung is the mainstay. Shu Qi, Feng Cuifan, Peng Yuyan and others are either attractive in appearance or flashy in their acting skills. But it is really risky to choose the Olympic champion as a male pig's foot, and I have said N times "what is the situation" without saying anything.
●Master Chen Changxing lives in a remote small mountain village. He only needs to be able to play Tai Chi. He is also proficient in Western machinery. Based on the age, he probably opened his eyes earlier than Lin Zexu. Master Chen, who is so open-minded, why didn't he see the benefits of building a railway? At least there should be some ideological struggle before leading the anti-forcible demolition movement.
●Taijiquan is probably the most difficult boxing technique to express in kung fu movies. Li Lianjie ("Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng") and Wu Jing ("The Master of Tai Chi") are a little too tough.
But it is absolutely true that Tai Chi can be used in actual combat. Back then, Yang Luchan ("Cicada" not "Zen") fought all over the capital and was known as "Yang Wudi", and many princes and nobles worshipped him (so how could it be a rebellion against Tianli Sect).
Taijiquan was originally called "Mianquan", but it may not be as slow as we think. According to the description of the emperor Weng Tonghe, who has seen Master Yang boxing, "Yang advances and retreats very fast, unpredictable, like a monkey, like dribbling a ball, and the Jewish is extremely round." The uncles and aunts in the park have not mastered the top three A tip.
●The Legend of Baguazhang and Gong Baiyu's "Stealing Fist" that I bought together when I was a child. After reading it, I found that these two books are also "two J's even hard". Master Yang is the grand master of the capital, and the only opponent he meets is Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang. The two fought in Suwangfu's mansion, and they became friends since then. I don't know if the ultimate Boss of the movie is Dong Gonggong (Hong Jinbao?).
PS: Master Dong became Eunuch Dong when he worked as an undercover agent for the peasant army. "The Legend of Baguazhang" is very detailed in the description of the purification of the body, and it still hurts in retrospect. . .
