"Pirates of the Buddha Line" can be regarded as an excellent film academy student's graduation work. The study of Jackie Chan's film, combined with the wonderful integration of ancient Muay Thai, makes me feel that many of the pictures are familiar, but they have new ideas. However, the script is a bit too crude. What I expect is only one fight after another, and the middle plot can basically be ignored. But the action scenes alone are enough to get the blood pumping. For the first time, I saw the fierceness of Muay Thai, the flexibility of Muay Thai for the first time, and the perfect fusion of speed, strength and skill for the first time. Different from Bruce Lee's electric light flint, Jackie Chan's ingenuity and funny, Jet Li's moves are gorgeous, Tony Jia seems to be the young Zhang Junbao fighting Xiaoxiangzi at the beginning, with a solid foundation of martial arts and superhuman physical fitness, to cover up the innocence of all shooting techniques,
"Winter" Yin Gong", you can see that Thailand's own religious and humanistic feelings have been added to the film. After the fight, I hope to bring some thoughts to the audience outside of kung fu. But this kind of narrative is jerky, and the most impressive clip of the film is still Tonyja's two consecutive 360-degree spin kicks, which is indeed a magical skill! It can be seen from this film that Thai filmmakers are no longer satisfied with the simple action movie shooting method of arranging several action scenes and then trying to string them together, and began to pursue the realm of kung fu beyond poetry. In addition, Tony Jia began to cooperate with international filmmakers and kung fu masters to exchange knowledge and learn from each other, which is believed to be the source of his progress.
"Quan Ba 2" is a phased report of Thai filmmakers' comprehensive study of Chinese and Hollywood films. The largest investment in the history of Thai films has made the picture of the film a qualitative improvement compared to the previous two films. The use of the lens is skillful and full of impact. More importantly, the movie focused on modifying the content, first of all, compiling a grand framework similar to the Prince's Revenge, making all "fights" meaningful. Secondly, the action scenes integrate various types of Chinese Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Japanese Kendo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc., coupled with the comprehensive application of multiple technical means such as blasting, which makes the film "fight" more exciting. In addition, more proportions of literary dramas reflect the history and culture of Thailand, and provide a good foundation for the characters. Although there are still many flaws in this movie, it allowed me to see the amazing maturity of Thai kung fu films, and I admired Tony Jia's comprehensive martial arts skills even more.
However, I have to say that Tony Jia has a poor image in my aesthetic opinion, not powerful enough, not handsome enough, and has no sense of joy. When he punches fiercely, his sharp eyes are too vicious. This may be the point that restricts his development. Again, praise his kung fu, it is really amazing.
