I have seen the first few works of director Prachya Pinkaew, basically following the growth path of Chinese rock-the weasel under the mouse, a litter is not as good as a litter. As a genre film, the first "Fist Fighter" was so highly praised that it made him unable to come off the stage. This scene is not uncommon in China. Not a person who gives up easily, but rejects the wise saying: "The so-called genius is to do one thing well at a time", and continue to overcome obstacles on this narrow road-until he meets her.
The core of a fighting movie is one to several actors who can fight and call. Most of the protagonists are young and middle-aged men with martial arts skills. There are many successful cases in China, and I will not give more examples here. But looking at the Asian action actresses, they are few and far between. In the past, there was Zheng Peipei, and then there was Michelle Yeoh. What about later? The successor has yet to appear. The starring Yanin this time can be described as a drop of nectar after the long drought of the female star. This little girl who admires Jet Li (actually 24 years old) began to practice martial arts from a young age because of her weak body. She didn't want to but inspired her extraordinary talent. Looking at this alone, it is not difficult to find that her experience is strikingly similar to that of the protagonist in the film. Maybe the inspiration for the whole film is inspired by her.
Well, it's time to get to the point: Aside from the intricately designed difficult moves and cold dazzling group fight scenes in the film, what I want to bring up is a detail that is easily overlooked - why mentally handicapped children always have some extraordinary talents.
Looking back at the entire film and television industry, there are countless works depicting disadvantaged groups, among which there are handed down masterpieces such as "Forrest Gump", "I Am Sam", "Rain Man" and "Dancer in the Darkness". And most of these films have a traditional routine: disabled people with congenital defects have a unique ability that transcends ordinary people, and based on this, they work hard to create a life that is accepted by common values.
It is fortunate that the story of the smooth sailing happened to me, but as a literary and artistic work that emphasizes dramatic conflict, if there are too many "homeopathic" in the works, it will not be so inviting. Ordinary protagonists have experienced many hardships and finally achieved a positive structure. Although the structure is old-fashioned, it has been tried and tested. Because of the strong sense of immersion and a certain inspirational effect when watching the film, many such films have a very wide audience. Evidence is found in grassroots movies. But what if, on top of that, some obstacles were created for the protagonist of the play? So there are literary and artistic works that describe people with congenital defects. Compared with "poor people" and "mortals", they have a lower starting point and are more likely to gain sympathy. In the process of paying attention to and supporting this special group, ordinary people can gain the potential pleasure of "giving mercy".
The logic of "people with congenital disabilities have a special ability beyond ordinary people" probably stems from the inertial thinking that "blind people have more developed hearing". In fact, most of these good wishes are limited to literary and artistic works. In reality, disabled people are far from being so lucky. They can only master some special special skills through several times of hard work and exercise, and can barely shorten the distance from normal people. the distance between. The people with congenital disabilities in most of the works are lucky, under the arrangement of the author, they have become geniuses in some field, and the audience is happy to see such stories, even if it is out of some kind of collective unconsciousness . With both themes and the market, there is no need to worry about the growth of this type of work. "Female Boxer" was born on such a fertile soil.
The subject of "martial arts masters with intellectual disabilities" is actually not new. A few years ago, "Danny the Wolf" starring Jet Li was just like this. However, the overall quality of the film was poor, so it did not give people Leaving too much aftertaste. This time, "Female Boxer" is also picking up people's wisdom in a sense, but it is better than the word "female". It is a very difficult challenge to set the protagonist of an action movie as a woman. Foreign films such as "Deadly Violet", "Out of the Night", "Vampire Lane", etc. have all been classified as failed attempts. Kill Bill, but that's more down to Quentin's unique style and cinematic intuition. The background of the story of "Women's Boxer" takes place in Thailand, and the martial arts used are also Muay Thai, which is known for its hard-core blood. The two previous "Men's Boxing" starring Tony Jaa have already displayed the fighting skills magically and justly. Fierce and impressive. This time, the director suddenly sacrificed a little girl, and still has to play Muay Thai, this alone has really done enough suspense.
After all, action movies are his best field. The director has achieved normal performance in the scene design and action editing throughout the film, but the biggest point is that the heroine beats many rough guys with those thin arms and thin legs. Awesome punches from a slugger. Winning the strong with the small and the great has always been the most respected tactical core in the ancient Chinese art of war. After immersing for thousands of years, this idea has turned into a kind of common sense subconscious and integrated into everyone's intuitive perception, so that whenever you encounter similar In any situation, a variety of complex emotions will be mobilized. For example, in various sports competitions, the attention of "dark horses" is often higher than that of traditional seeded teams.
"It's really cool to see men who were supposed to represent powerful violence being beaten by a skinny, skinny loli." This is my overall sense of "Female Boxer", people with this special hobby Come take a look, it's very refreshing.
