Seeing the Differences Between Eastern and Western Military Culture from "Runaway"

This topic, for the film itself, is a bit off topic.
However, the reason why this movie is real is not because of his fist-to-meat skills and the fact that people and snakes sell women in Southeast Asian countries, but through such a story, the difference between Eastern and Western force culture hidden under the surface of the story display.
The Western culture of force does not have more kindness and compassion, does not do the compassion and transcendence before killing people. It is neat, ruthless, and has a clear purpose. The cruelty and firmness of a beast is to make you die from the spirit to the body, until you Complete obedience to their will, without a trace of moral baggage.
It can be seen from Western history that these white-skinned races treat their enemies by beheading them, especially the so-called inferior races they despise. From the military expedition to the Nazi Holocaust, from the slaughter of Indians by North American whites to the slaughter of Chinese people in the Opium War, in these beastly armed philosophies, there is only life and death, and there are no superfluous concepts.
On the other hand, the culture of force in the East carries too much human nature and morality, even pedantic. From Song Xianggong's refusal to fight halfway, it can be seen that the Orientals take morality seriously and regard the battlefield as a dojo.
The reason why I say this is the culture of force of the Orientals is because in the whole of the East, there is almost such a culture of bullshit that is loaded with such a mess of martial arts. It is noble. For example, this film deliberately inserted such a detail: the hero Judas met another countryman on his journey (probably also a member of Silat Harima from Sumatra, Indonesia). As a result, this person finally acted as a thug to confront him in the elevator, and Judas was in the elevator. It turns out that this fellow was showing mercy when he said, "I'm not the same as you. When I saw this, I felt that the director was pretending to be 13 and began to educate the audience. What is this?" Wude? Then design the plot to let the still human thug block the gun for him, highlighting the role of moral influence. But on the real battlefield, will such a scene happen? The answer is that there is a 99% chance that this guy will bite you back, and the victory you have earned through hard work in front of you will be instantly vanished, and you may even take a foolish life!
Then, the most stupid plot finally appeared, which made me guess without any suspense. From the moment Judas completely defeated the Western human traffickers, I knew that Judas, the eastern hero, was either not far from death, or he was Like the episodes of Hong Kong and mainland movies that couldn't get any worse, they were "forced" to kill that guy for the last time.
It's a pity that he was "forced" to kill that guy, but he also got his braids up.
Seeing such a silly plot, sitting in front of the TV, would you be so fucking moved that a box of tissues was soaked?
I've been expecting Judas to deal with the thugs beating him, to be able to kill the beasts and slap them to death in a brutal way that's crisp and hateful, but Judas just clicks like a surgeon Take the knuckles off those killers, even when the other side pulls out the gun and has already started killing, so morally.
Therefore, this guy is very shameless to die. You obviously have the ability and opportunity to completely solve your opponent, so why are you armed with a saint?
In the East, especially in China, cases of this kind of stupidity of armed saints have emerged endlessly from ancient times to the present. Song Xianggong, who has become a laughing stock for thousands of years, will not talk about it. The attitude of the two Chinese governments after World War II toward the Japanese war criminals and the government is enough. It's annoying, Lao Jiang generously sent most of the executioners who killed his people back to Japan, and Lao Mao generously waived Japan's war reparations, what is left? The so-called Chinese-style complaining with virtue hopes that the murderers will be grateful and the world will be peaceful from now on.
Is this for a dog dick?
If you look at the performance of the Japanese right wing today, you will know how stupid this idiot plus 250 is.
The same victorious nations, the Yankees occupied their territories, subdued their emperors, castrated their arms, fucked their pussies, drove their workers, but they were obedient and grateful to the Yankees, In awe of these white-skinned beasts who bombarded them with the most brutal methods. And for China, the magnanimous victorious country, do you think they respect us?
dick!
During the Korean War, the old American and the South Korean devils caught the volunteers and treated them like livestock The ghosts are not as good as the ghosts, and we, raise the old American captives well, eat and drink and treat them well, give ideological and political education classes, let these naughty dolls learn well, and go back to the home on the other side of the ocean to have dinner with mother. , no longer come out to be naughty, euphemistically called political tactics.
During the Vietnam War, Lao Mei killed the Viet Cong, and the Viet Cong also killed Lao Mei. Everyone was stubborn and dissatisfied with each other, but no one lost their share. As for us, when we helped the Viet Cong, N years later, people turned to bite you, but you fought back, but withdrew when it was not far from the capital. It was the Eastern-style martial arts who were at fault. So, are the Vietnamese today reading ours? Go to the major political and military chat rooms and see, those Vietnamese who have stayed in China scolded China in fluent Chinese, clamoring for the restoration of the Great Vietnam Empire.
Qin general Bai Qikeng killed hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, Napoleon slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Turkish soldiers, and General Sun Liren buried 1,200 Japanese devils alive. They did a good job. What is the purpose of force?
Very simple, kill!
Since you want to kill people, is there a dick to talk about so much benevolence, righteousness and morality? That was to fool people during the United Front. When fighting with force, they only watched the white knife go in and the red knife came out, and there was no time to read the scriptures.
Therefore, since modern times, the entire East has been bullied by the West and dragged into their trouser pockets. It is not only the backwardness in politics, military, economy, and weapons, but also the stupid concept of martial arts is the fundamental reason!
When Genghis Khan's Mongolian army invaded Annan (now Vietnam), Korea, and Japan, these inconspicuous small countries had the courage to perish together more than a big country like China, and retaliate against the invading army without leaving any room. Don't give up the idea of ​​annexation, and these three countries, in today's entire Asia, are not easy to mess with, and they are particularly eye-catching.
On the other hand, China, which pays attention to martial arts, is constantly being occupied and enslaved by foreigners, and it also complacently promotes this shit culture of repaying grievances with virtue.
A "Ip Man" that has become popular in China, as well as those "Heroes", "Huo Yuanjia" and so on before, and further forward, "The Land of Rebirth" and so on, are all masturbation-style moral preaching, A bunch of idiots followed and applauded.
Machiavelli had a point of view, saying that people "are all ungrateful, double-minded, deceitful, desperate and greedy for profit", which is exactly the same as Xunzi's "human nature is evil", and he doubts those who are considered good, but are Whether the qualities that lead to destruction really deserve to be called virtues. I very much agree with his point of view, which is a legitimate use for evaluating Eastern-style martial arts.
Now China has repeatedly said that it will not seek hegemony. Like Master Ye Wen, the subtext is that we are strong, and we will not hit you, but if you hit me, I will not kill you. Be your martial arts teacher, see how great my heavenly dynasty is. .
This kind of education should be exported to the Balkans, Middle East, Afghanistan, Black Africa and Iraq, where people need it.
And we, fuck you!

    The action design and the sense of strike are not good

    The music has an artistic conception, the little heroes have a sense of substitution, and the fighting has a posture but lacks the G-spot
