A plot that serves kung fu

I just saw that there are a lot of beanies here, saying that this film is not good or bad, (especially those who don’t say it is good at all) After all, don’t you want all kung fu films to be the same?

Just like now Most female hosts; most idol actors; all American folk singers have

similar facial features, similar accents, and similar postures.

"Fuse" is different from many kung fu movies now. It doesn't fly around, it
doesn't embroider its legs, it doesn't smash all kinds of furniture with its back, and it doesn't break the spine. "The Fuse" is a relatively real kung fu movie, the fighting scenes are punchy, and the
storyline is simple and clear. It is precisely because "The Fuse" is a more realistic kung fu movie, so the plot design is also low-key, not exaggerated, do you think What are the major cases handled by the Hong Kong police? ! ! A gang of gangsters rushed over and swept the entire police station? ! The whole Hong Kong police were dispatched to eliminate the nuclear time bomb hidden in the stadium of the football final? The protagonist jumped from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor with a steel wire, and then fell from the 5th floor, turning 973 degrees in the air + slow motion + "ah~~~~~~`", then smashed the roadside stall, and then struggled He stood up, looked up at the gangster on the 5th floor angrily, patted his clothes, and pointed his finger? ? We've seen too many movies like that, and this movie wasn't meant to be shot.

Life is not so dramatic in the first place. Five or six gangsters killed three or four witnesses in a row. This is already a very big case. The plot of is indeed weak, but it is not useless. When telling the story, it is very gentle, not exaggerated, and does not deliberately make a show. The storyline is intentionally simple and low-key. A few lines of interviews similar to CCTV's "People" column are added at the beginning and end of the film. It seems that Donnie Yen is using A police officer tells his own story in an "Interview" program, telling what he has experienced in solving this major case that is buzzing in Hong Kong.
The story concept of the whole film is low-key, quasi-real. It's not that he wanted to "show off" but didn't show off well, that's why he said he had to understand the movie. . Criticism will appear to be critical.
(Maybe I have some too)

Some clues can be seen by comparing the kung fu movie "The True Color of a Man" and "Fuse" of the same period. "The True Color of a Man" is sufficiently "dazzling", and it also has the intention to be "dazzling",
and it is indeed dazzling, but if "Fuse" is also shot in the same way, it will become "The True Color of a Man", it will become A police and bandit movie that can be seen casually has become a story for the sake of the story, and a good story to "make up" for the box office. It is not the concept of "Fuse" that designs the plot in order to make a real fighting movie. It will become a deliberately set big scene, dazzling camera, various ways of dying, throwing, hanging wire, flying around, ignoring the law of gravity, ignoring the principles of human mechanics, ignoring damage, ignoring speed and quality. . . . Have we not seen enough kung fu movies like this?

You want to ask that "Fuse" has a Fuse's martial arts and the plot of "Hancheng Raiders". Just imagine, you must have seen such movies, and there are quite a few.

It is precisely because "Fuse" has such a real fight, coupled with just the right low-key plot,
the rhythm of this film is suitable, and it becomes "Fuse". Excellent kung fu movie.
