Kung Fu, do you really understand it?

These are just the imagination of the little boy! Think of the people around you as masters in your own world! The beginning of "Kung Fu" is somewhat similar to the stream of consciousness in Proust's "Reminiscence of the Years", but the hidden storyline is a reasonable explanation for the surreal scenes of the entire film. In fact, the story in the film is very simple: an old beggar who sells fake books sells fake martial arts secrets to a young man. The young man believes it is true and uses all his savings to buy a copy of "Tathagata Palm". After practicing for a few times, he naively thinks it is. After practicing martial arts, he encountered a group of older children bullying a little girl who was aphasia. She wanted to see righteousness but was insulted and hurt her self-esteem. The little girl came to thank and comfort him. He was humiliated and ran away. Next, he went to work in a candy store. During this period, he saw various people every day, including the "Fire Cloud Cthulhu" who directs traffic at the door of the candy store, the young man with his butt exposed, the "Sculpture Heroes" passing by, and movies. A large number of martial arts masters appeared in the game. One day the little girl passed by the candy store and met him, and the two happily walked into the store holding hands. At this time, another child met the old beggar, and another dream cycle began. Everyone must be very strange. Where did most of the film and the protagonist Xing Ye go? This is probably also the superb characteristic of the star: the hero on the surface of the film is the star, and the protagonist behind it is the little boy, and all the bizarre and absurd adventures experienced by the star are all the dreams of the little boy. Dreams are a complex series of inner activities. Those martial arts masters are ordinary people that the boy sees and hears around him every day, but the boy imagines them as masters in his own imaginary world as the embodiment of the mental image. There are several scenes or details in the film suggesting the above explanation. It is more obvious that the star and the girl are looking at each other in the candy store at the end. At this time, the boy wakes up from dream and returns to reality. In the scene, you will find "Fire Cloud Cthulhu" directing traffic in the middle of the highway, young people with butt-exposed chatting with people on the wall, "Sculpture Heroes" wearing suits and cheongsam passing by the roadside, and "golden glasses". Of course, there are some other unobvious "masters" in the film. The gun version I watched the first time, I didn't find so many. Later, I found out after communicating with my classmates. In the end, the old beggar appeared, and you will find that he has not changed at all. Old, this is because the boy has never grown up. Something more obscure: The old beggar once said "I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell" when selling books to the boy. This sentence imprinted a deep mark on the boy's young heart, so the decent character in his dream "God" The little dragon girl of "The Couple of Condor Heroes" also said this sentence during the duel with the "Fire Cloud Cthulhu", and at the same time, it corresponds to the "Avalokitesvara" in "A Westward Journey", etc. Does the hero save the beauty? ? At the beginning of the film, the word Kung Fu appeared. At first glance, I thought it was a majestic mountain, but as the camera moved up and unfolded, it turned out that it was just the word Kung Fu carved on the ground. At this time, a colorful butterfly. Flying by. Obviously, this shows the truth that there are mountains beyond the mountains. Caidie directly alludes to Zhou in Kung Fu, which actually represents a perspective that is higher than the secular. It is also a truth to be beaten to the sky at the end of the film, so as to use the palm of the Buddha. Different levels and perspectives often have a world of difference in understanding of things, and naturally also in ability. It was discovered that it was actually a policeman who was beaten up. The body of the policeman flew to smash the plaque of the evil nemesis. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the social meaning. Here, it is easy to overlook a detail, that is, a person who can throw the police out of such a powerful way is absolutely impossible. For non-ordinary people, this should be the place where the first kung fu masters appeared. The boss of the crocodile gang ended his power, and he went out to find that the street was empty, the axe gang appeared, and the police station was closed. Only then did I understand that the reason why the crocodile gang went to the police station to make trouble was not that the police dared to provoke them, but a collusion with the axe gang. conspiracy. After the crocodile gang boss was hacked to death, the scene where the inspector ordered some money also illustrates this point. There is a foreshadowing here, that is, the two beckoning actions of Brother Chen (the boss of the axe gang), the first time he asked the axe to chop Feng Xiaogang, the second time he was going to shoot the lady of the crocodile gang with a gun, and the third time he beckoned at the back. He didn't kill anyone, but just asked for a cigarette. Why? we'll talk about it then. After the crocodile gang was destroyed, a Hollywood-style dance showed the continuous expansion of the axe gang. One of the shots was the pattern on the floor of Chen Ge dancing on the floor, which happened to be in the shape of a flower. The flower symbolized beauty. Things, dancing on it is a trampling on the good. Later, the fire cloud evil god’s life-saving weapon was also a poisonous needle inserted in the middle of a golden flower. The golden flower unfolded just to be the pattern on the floor, and at this time, dancing on the pattern. Brother Chen is the poisonous needle in the middle of Jinhua. At the end of the film, the poisonous needle was pulled out by Zhou. Here you can see Zhou's intentions again. Of course, the golden flower and the poisonous needle can also be understood as the evil that resides in the good. Remove the evil in the heart, and the rest is good. It also shows that goodness is the root of human beings. The opening of the film is the end, and the reflection of a passage of text to contemporary society is self-evident. The picture turns to a poor community that seems to be isolated from the world-Zhulongchengzhai (Zhulong?). According to the order, the three “hidden” “masters” in the community and their respective kung fu masters will appear in sequence. What is worth mentioning here is the event trigger sequence of the masters in Kung Fu. You will find these three masters later. The event trigger sequence has always been arranged in an orderly order according to their skill. The worse the skill, the earlier the appearance, the less disguised, the sooner the martial arts are revealed, and the sooner they are killed. Those who are interested can observe and see that there are many similar details. One thing that is very interesting is that the three masters always thought they were hiding from everyone, but in the end they discovered that there were still even higher masters around them. On the surface, the higher masters are the charterer and the charterer. They obviously knew the true strength of these three people. Later, after the three of them fought against the axe gang, the charterer insisted on driving them away, not afraid that they would take them. It’s troublesome, but the charterer knows that as soon as the three of them show martial arts, they will soon be slain. The deeper the master, the more they understand the truth that there are mountains outside the mountain. The charterer actually wants to save their lives. The fact that the charterer cheated and drove the three out of the lottery also showed the charterer's true position. Why are the charterers and charter women masters on the surface? Here we might as well make a bold conjecture. According to the law of “the worse the kung fu, the earlier the appearance, the sooner the martial arts are revealed, and the earlier they are killed”, it is not difficult to see that the three of them are in the arena. It's just the little people who know three-legged cat kung fu, and the duo who killed the three of them won the duo. The charterer and the charterer were a higher level than them. However, everyone found that in the process of fighting between the community and the axe gang, the "ordinary" people in the community were in great danger, but none of them were injured or killed. Even the three "masters" of Agui could not escape. The hidden master? If you think I'm whimsical, please pay attention to the following two shots about sauce burst. Shot 1: Before Zhou Xingchi extorted the sauce for the first time, the sauce blast cut the hair of the fat pig partner quickly, remember the chirps? Only three seconds before and after, huh, what, exaggeration? Facts have proved that the exaggeration of human energy in the time seems to have other meanings. For example, the charterer fell from the third floor to the ground safe and sound, and the charterer ran at the same speed as Zhou Fei. It was later discovered that those were not exaggerated, because They are masters at first, so what about the three-second haircut of the sauce. There are no masters who use swords as weapons in the entire film. Here we can’t help but ask, since it is a movie that shows Chinese Kung Fu, how can we not show Chinese swordsmanship and swordsmanship? In fact, there really isn't any. What is the three-second haircut of the sauce burst? Just when the axe gang threatened the sauce explosion, the sauce explosion was about to be hacked to death. Between the electric light and flint, the second boss was stuffed into an oil drum a few meters away. It is strange that no one saw it. What happened, yes, at the time, Jiang Bao was standing behind a coolie , And later it was Coolie Qiang who admitted that he did it, but does Coolie Qiang have such a skill? If his speed is so fast that ordinary people can't see it, then he won't be killed so easily. To be sure, it was definitely not a cool hand. In fact, the masters who appeared in the film, I am afraid that only the later Zhou and Huoyun Cthulhu could barely have such a speed. So who is it? No matter who it is, he can't show up, because there is still a drama behind. From this point of view, the role of Jiangbao in this film is obviously more than just meaningless or purely funny nonsense. The charter party appeared on the stage and "visited" the three "masters" in order. The attitude towards the three masters was very interesting. Agui-you are so sensible, Sheng brother-teasing and scolding, the cool kung fu is really not worth mentioning. The fight with the axe gang can be seen, almost succeeding in being besieged by everyone. The attitudes of the three masters towards others are also very hierarchical. The stronger the better, the more polite they are. When the coolie is strong, because his cultivation is the worst, he naturally thinks that he is the only hidden master, so there is no flattery to others. The worst disguise. Corresponding to reality, the same is true, the more powerful the less publicity, the weaker, the more eager to reveal. Jiang burst out, led out the charter lady, the chartered lady went downstairs, and again "visited" the three "masters" in the same order. We once again saw the level of attitudes of the three "masters" towards the chartered lady. Zhou appeared on the stage, posing as the Axe Gang, for the purpose of extortion, but found the wrong place. Jiang Bao’s threats to Zhou's extortion and later the real Axe Gang’s second master only responded with “I’m not afraid”. This is true. Is it silly? Zhou didn’t know why at first sight of the half ass of the sauce burst. He had an ominous premonition. Later, the match against the villagers in the village of the pig cage also proved the potential of the city’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Zhou Xian chose an appearance. The aunt, who is absolutely inextricably linked to strength, turned out, hehe, and later he desperately tried to find a shorter, older, and younger one, but the result was beyond his expectation. Here is the same sentence, the one who is hidden is the real expert. It suddenly occurred to me that, judging by the strength of the villagers revealed here, I am afraid that no one can hurt them even if there is no "master" in the early stage. After that, the second master of the axe was taken down by a master, as mentioned before, and then the axe gang attacked, Azhen was pushed to the ground by the gang, and he glanced at the charterer, who looked back at her. Azhen is clearly asking: "What should I do, you are a master yet to come forward", and the chartered commons replied: "No, you can't be exposed." She covered the mud on her face to show her determination and helplessness: I would rather live through the misery. Life, do not want to bear the false name of a master. Here, all the villagers were On the ground, only coolie is the most stubborn one, and Brother Sheng can't help but want to show his kung fu, but Agui still wants to continue flattering, which is still a very clear treatment. Brother Chen came, and the smile at the second master's appearance explained why he did not kill Zhou Xingchi the last time he beckoned. We saw Brother Chen as the boss of the axe gang, very proud. Only the characters that threatened him would get along. When the lock was opened in the next week, Brother Chen said: Sooner or later such a small role will be used. It can be seen that he thinks that Zhou is not a threat to him, but in the end Brother Chen still failed to get rid of the ending of being killed by a more powerful person. Sure enough, coolie, who was the first to lose his temper, came out. This is not to belittle the character of coolie. The villagers in Zhulongchengzhai have noble morals. They have nothing to fight with the world, but anyone who encounters such a thing They would all help, such as the chartered housewife. They would never have watched this girl be burned to death (I am afraid this girl would not allow it), but Coolie Qiang was the first to lose his breath. Zhou Yin’s mischievous fire fight is that he himself got the opportunity to enter the axe gang. He has been thinking about being a bad guy at this moment, but he is hesitant to use this as a dividing point. If the previous Zhou was an escape from reality, then since then Zhou began to struggle with the painful nature of his heart until the moment he saw himself clearly and released himself. The billboard is a clue to his life. Zhou's apparent identity is an orphan, but where does he come from? At the end of the film, the reappearance of the billboard gave us the answer. I don’t know how many people feel that this memory evokes the same feelings. Who did not have the same illusion in childhood, dreaming of becoming a peerless master, eliminating evil and punishing evil, and being laughed at by others, even when we grow up, even ourselves I felt that I was naive and ridiculous at that time, and I didn’t want to look back. This was so similar to Zhou’s mentality at that time. I couldn’t bear to look back on my childishness and naivety. I lost confidence in the world and kept escaping. When faced with real temptations At that time, he was hesitant, struggling with himself, and refused to fall. Zhou's experience is magnified in the typical environment in the film, making his memories more painful and struggling more intense, but in the end he releases himself most thoroughly. A simple ice cream interrupted Zhou, who was vowing to kill, and the heroine appeared. The feasting and feasting of the city made Zhou not recognize the childhood lollipop girl, that is to say, he forgot the most precious innocence and purity, and even he cursed and cursed himself as a child. The smile on the tram when he snatched the ice cream made him even more so. The sadness is profound. No matter how much the lollipop girl chases, she can’t catch up with the tram, but she always It’s Ben, everything must go back to the original, no need to force it, just like I’ll come back to find her in the last week, I’ll find myself, and I’ll go back to where he came from. When the charter wife wanted to save the lives of the three "masters" and forced them to leave, the family that had been soaked in gasoline came to Xie, the child said: "Thank you for saving us" in "You" "Obviously it refers to strong coolies, why not "thank you guys" Righteousness has also been fully expressed. The three "masters" exchanged their lives for everyone's relief and relief. Naturally, they have to be grateful. Brother Chen and the others lost their souls and drove away, which is also very funny. His trembling hands burned to his hair, and using wine to put out the fire in a muddled manner was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. If the former city wall was imprisoned by a cage, then it can be called the real "Zhulong" city wall at this time. The villagers cried bitterly in front of the body of the three masters, and the charterer blamed himself for being a petty citizen. Zhen's condemnation of the charter party is actually a condemnation of all the villagers in the "Zhulong" city. For the villagers in the "Zhulong" city, the combination of liver and intestines is no longer a threat, but the villagers headed by Jiangbao still have to take revenge and denounce the Axe Gang. One of the strange problems in this is that the Huoyun Cthulhu did not appear at that time. , And the villagers also saw that the strength of the chartered parents-in-law can completely wipe out the axe gang, but why do they look for a "no one in a million" master? This can only prove once again that the villagers' true strength and cultivation are far beyond mortals. They know that the revealing of the strength of the chartered parents-in-law will inevitably lead to even greater disasters. Here, I think the disaster they are referring to is not Huoyun Cthulhu, and Huoyun Cthulhu is not the number one in the world. From Huoyun Cthulhu’s repeated deceptions, it can be seen that his own quality determines that it cannot be too high. The repair base. The disasters the villagers are referring to may have different meanings to different people. It is the root of their respective willingness to live in seclusion here. They have been evading things. They are by no means referring to the axe gang or the one that has not yet appeared. Huoyun evil god, they are determined to muster the courage to face the reality they should face, and no longer continue to escape. After the villagers were freed, it was Zhou's turn. The scene between Zhou and the Lollipop Girl was the climax of Zhou's inner struggle, and Zhou's performance was really impeccable. After being insulted by the four-eyed boy on the tram, Zhou Yi shook his hair awkwardly. He thought it was so handsome, cool and awesome. In fact, this ugly action just shows that his current blind yearning for the life of bad people is completely. Wrong, in fact, are you a weak four-eyed boy with them two? There must be a lot of people asking such questions, but looking back, even if the two of them beat the Four-Eyed Boy, they won? After they got off the tram bravely and arrogantly, all they could do was such a "cool" head shake, and the result was the same. Later, Zhou asked his partner, believe it or not I broke his glasses? you swear! You look down on me? Haha, the arrangement of the supporting role of the fat pig around Zhou is truly wonderful. It is completely self-questioning and self-answering. The two opposites of fat and thin reflect himself. There are two opposing outlooks on life in his heart, and the whole film sees the emptiness and fragility of the outlook on life that Zhou surface yearns for. On the contrary, the facts have proven time and time again that he has denied his current wrong outlook on life. Zhou's anger was deteriorating, and he really made up his mind to do a bad thing-robbing the lollipop girl and completely eradicate the innocence hidden in his heart! Aggressively, he was about to become an incompetent boy. He didn't even pull out the latch and tried to open the ice cream car door to carry out the robbery. On the contrary, the more arrogant he became, the more irrational he was. After seeing the Lollipop Girl, Zhou directly bypassed all the doubts about himself, bypassed the last line of defense, and directly attacked his own inner heart, the Lollipop Girl hidden in his heart, no matter how he insulted the Lollipop Girl, no matter how How weak and pity the lollipop girl is, this struggle is simply absurd, and the poster behind also illustrates this point. How can it be possible to fight against your own "ben"? When Zhou was helpless, the fat partner unplugged and helped her find the money. In other words, his inner "ben" couldn't bear to see the pain of struggle. Only himself could save him. This robbery was not so much He insulted his own "ben", it is better to say that his own "ben" gave him alms. This battle is ridiculous anyway. Zhou indifferently threw away the box containing the lollipops, and hurriedly took the money in the box below. But I saw Lollipop Girl carefully picking up the box he didn't care about, opened the lid, and saw Lollipop. From the time he failed to save Lollipop Girl when he was a child until today, he has forgotten the naive week of childhood. Only then did she understand why she had been struggling and painful all the time, and she could see who his biggest enemy was all the time. At this time, I really liked the music, and it made me feel as desolate and thorough as the California Hotel. With such bitter irony, after fighting for a long time, it was only at this moment that he could see the true face of the enemy, and then he could see himself clearly. The originally "ambitious" he was stunned, facing the colorful lollipop handed by the lollipop woman. Only after recognizing the enemy’s heart, Zhou’s heart really began a short and fair confrontation. However, this struggle could not be long, and this struggle was unavoidable. If Brother Chen hadn’t sent someone to find Zhou to pull him into the water, I’m afraid Zhou will admit defeat at this moment and get a complete relief. The lollipop was slapped mercilessly, and the lollipop broken into pieces was like Zhou's own heart. At this moment, the pain in his heart can be imagined. Zhou ran desperately, still trying to get rid of the "enemy" he had just recognized. He had no courage to fight this "enemy" at this moment. He just wanted to escape, and gave all the money he had just snatched to the fat partner. But he looked up to the sky and sighed, and immediately understood, can he get rid of himself? Tired, he collapsed on the side of the road, just At this time, Brother Chen came to him. Brother Chen sent someone, and he didn’t give Zhou and the audience a chance to catch his breath. The sloppy Zhou came to the feasting nightclub. The psychedelic temptation of jazz and beautiful lighting made him involuntarily follow the beat. However, his movements are awkward and out of sync. Obviously, he is not as old as Chen Ge’s dance at the beginning of the film. The dance floor centered on the confused Zhou is scattered with anesthetized and equally confused people. Is this really the world in Zhou's dream? At least in this world, no one can give him the answer. The tired Zhou, who was just about to give up the struggle with his own heart, never thought that he would join the Axe Gang so easily. Chen's view of Zhou is more thorough than Zhou himself at the moment. Two sentences show that Chen is right to Zhou and right. My own understanding also showed that Chen Ge's ease and satisfaction in using and controlling Zhou. The Abnormal Human Research Center is the same as Zhulong Walled City. Since there is the Zhulong Walled City that once imprisoned justice, there is an abnormal human research center that has imprisoned evil. In Zhou Caan’s first step into the research center, I felt that The suffocation is pressing, and when he looks up, the scene in the sky is spectacular and terrifying. Combining with the map obtained by Zhou, it can be seen that the center of the vortex in the sky at this time corresponds to the center of the research center, while the location of the Huoyun Cthulhu on the map is At the edge of the end, I guess that from the later Huoyun Cthulhu's skill, he could not be the protagonist who caused this terrible phenomenon (foretelling the sequel).

Bringing back the Huoyun Cthulhu, the Cthulhu Niubi boomed and grabbed the bullet: "The world of martial arts, there is no strength and no break, but the fast is not broken." The axe gang was suppressed, and all my colleagues paid homage to the evil god. Even Brother Chen himself was no exception. The evil god was sitting at the center of the golden flower pattern on the floor, but all the gang completely ignored or despised the golden flower, which symbolized the origin of man. Pay homage to an arrogant and domineering stinger above the golden flower. The chartered parents-in-law came, originally looking for an axe to help settle the accounts, but I didn’t want to encounter the evil gods who had slightly better skill than the two. The process of the fight is still very clear. Although the chartered parents are not against the evil gods, they use the great help. The horn bell also forced the Cthulhu to reveal his sinister face. With the help of the big horn bell, he could not say that he defeated the Cthulhu. Instead, it really sounded the last alarm bell of Zhou. The three abuses of the Cthulhu also made Zhou recognize the hidden. With the ugliness in his own heart, Zhou has a new understanding of himself before, and a sap-sapling Chen has gone out of his mind. You have made me so messed up. At this moment, Zhou really returned to the original, that is, he was out of the cocoon. On the surface, it was the Cthulhu that opened up Zhou's Ren Du channel, but it was himself that really gave him a new life. Even though Zhou was tortured in every possible way by Cthulhu at this moment, it seemed heartache, but all the little sticks that knocked on the head of Zhou made me laugh, because Zhou at this moment proved that he was different from the previous one and proved that he was broken. The shell came out. Although Zhou himself was relieved, the regret in his heart always lingered. At this moment, his only wish was to be able to heal the regret and trauma caused by his previous obsession. The charterer’s two "Should you still use Chinese" to Agui and Zhou, indicating that anyone's own inner deficiencies can only be understood by themselves, and only oneself can make up for it. As the charterer herself said later: "The key lies in him. The physique of Zhou and Cthulhu, just like the previous week and his own contest, the process is absurd, and the arrogance of Cthulhu has heralded the result. Children use their toes when they fight. Hehe, what do you think of those who say that kung fu is naive and just for kindergarten children? Zhou Xingxing, how can you expect such a person? Haha, this Cthulhu's face is very classic in my opinion, and it satirizes the Cthulhu's self-righteous view "Only fast is not broken", and it is precisely the shameless self-confidence that is hit by the toe he despise. Zhou Fei went up into the sky, like the colorful butterfly flying with its wings, and the ground gradually moved away from under his feet, and his rising perspective, Zhou's realm at this time was already different. Zhou Yi cleaned up Cthulhu. Cthulhu's self-defeating struggle is as ridiculous as when he slapped a lollipop off his palm on Monday, don't you still wake up? Zhou gently drew the poisonous needle, unfolded the gorgeous golden flower, and let it drift away. Time, to appease the world and his own soul. The Cthulhu was aware of his own mistakes, but he hadn't realized the breadth of his face. Zhou's sentence "You want to learn, I will teach you" shocked the Cthulhu. He looked up at Zhou's face again and realized that It was so profound and infinite, completely unable to see the end, the Cthulhu completely surrendered since then. The palm of the Tathagata is vast and boundless, and the foundation of all things. Although the Lollipop Girl on the other side does not know Zhou’s transformation, she still walks towards her wish without regrets. Although the colorful dream has experienced trauma and loss, But eventually it will return to the original. The naive dreams of Zhou and Lollipop's daughter will eventually restart from the place where they left off and be fulfilled, and then be passed on to all those who have innocence and hope. Regarding the speculation about the ending, I am afraid that it will cause greater "misunderstandings" and give people more "handles", so I only leave these questions. In terms of "personal `feeling", I always think that the snot boy is As a child, the Fire Cloud Cthulhu, as a result, someone had the same idea as me! Ha ha! It can be said to be wonderful`!
