In my opinion, "King of Kung Fu" is a condensed version of "The Lord of the Rings" under the guise of pseudo-Chinese mythology. The Lord of the Rings cost 300 million US dollars that year, but I checked and checked that "King of Kung Fu" also claimed to cost 500 million yuan, which is equivalent to 4.5:1. Therefore, the proportion of the cast and the number of actors, the use of special effects and the degree of fidelity, the momentum of the large-scale battle, the fineness of the scene setting, the attention to detail of the costumes, the length of the film review time... are basically the scaling of this ratio. , If the visual aesthetics bombarded by Hollywood blockbusters in recent years has become numb, in all fairness, "King of Kung Fu" has done a good job.
The critics of the majority of Chinese people mainly focus on the film's understanding of Chinese mythology and traditional culture. This is indeed the case. I don't think the director has seen Shanghai Film's "Havoc in Heaven". How can I make up for my homework? As a result, the people in the play are all simple and pure types. Compared with the character modeling in The Lord of the Rings, there is a world of difference. However, "King of Kung Fu" won the North American box office championship within a week of its release, which also shows that the director still has the pulse of overseas markets.
Although the plot is lackluster, the special effects are outrageous, and the character performances are superficial, but, but, the double J we are looking forward to is still there, although we can't expect the once brilliant "Li Feihong" Foshan Shadowless Foot PK "Cheng Feihong" "The Drunk Eight Immortals, but a dream that has been waiting for decades has finally come true. Double J played, they really fought, and they fought for more than 10 minutes. Cheng Feihong used the Drunk Eight Immortals, not only, but also on With Tiger Claws, Li Feihong is not to be outdone. He really has his feet, one kick, two feet... etc. There is also Tanglang Quan, not bad, not bad, just look at 54-year-old Jackie Chan and 45-year-old Jet Li I worked hard to satisfy everyone's wishes. While I wasted time, I deeply felt that it was worth the price of the ticket.
Originally, Jackie Chan's action specialty lies in the integration of various practical kung fu, which is simple and full of strength. Coupled with his natural sense of rhythm and juggling martial arts in Peking Opera, he has formed a unique humorous style. In Jackie Chan's movies, you can see him wielding a thing to become a weapon, and after fiddling with it, it becomes a funny tool, which coincides with the "kicking the gun" and "taking the hammer" in Peking Opera.
Jet Li, who is a national martial arts champion, is different. The key to Chinese martial arts competitions is to compare routines and see who can perform the most standard moves. Li Lianjie was born in martial arts, which makes him unparalleled in the accuracy and beauty of his shape. Some people commented that his movements are "as elegant as ballet". In addition, he is proficient in eighteen martial arts, and he is even more vigorous in the use of various conventional equipment. Jagged.
This time, Yuan Heping did not use the martial arts type that the two are best at to cut into the double-J sparring, but emphasized a simple balance of equal power, the collision of fists and feet is more compact, and the strength is more calm than the display of skills. The use of it is a bit more return to the style of Hong Kong films in the 1980s. The so-called Tiger and Crane Double Line, Snake Shaped Hands and Mantis Wing Chun are all classic scenes created by Hong Kong films of that era. Recently, I have been deeply touched by old Shaw Brothers films.
After the movie ended, I asked my son: Is it good?
The son nodded vigorously.
