The whole film has an attempt to condense the history of Hong Kong martial arts films. It is a kind of retrospective and a tribute, or it is an innovation that combines all the things of the predecessors. If the audience has an impression of the guest actors, I believe they can understand the director's views on Hong Kong. Martial arts movies, whether it is thanks in front of and behind the scenes, unfortunately, the fast-paced editing method has never been able to ponder the emotional changes of the characters. On the whole, it seems to have a sound structure, but it is regrettable that it cannot be further refined. I can only say the plot of this movie. And the meaning is still not deep enough.
What is martial arts? What does it mean to be number one in the world in martial arts? Is this the title that everyone in martial arts dreams of?
Director Chen Desen portrayed the "martial arts" in his heart in this film. He always thought that the martial arts that director Chen Desen imagined included the ordinary seclusion in Chen Kexin's "Wu Xia", as well as the seeing himself, heaven and earth of Wong Kar Wai's "The Grand Master". And the concept of all living beings, a sentence that runs through the theme of "One Man's Wulin" is that the person in the film said "When you become famous, you are the only one left in the whole martial arts." This not only echoes the title of the film, but also shows that Masters are always lonely, and lose their family, reputation, etc. in exchange for such status.
It is good to have pursued the martial arts competition. How to make one's own martial art flourish is to become the first in the world. Wang Baoqiang always said "Kung Fu is a killing technique", which is the performance of the director's negative testimony, which varies with the plot. Development, when Wang Baoqiang kept shouting this sentence, the louder he said it, the more proof that kung fu was not a counter-evidence to killing skills. This was concluded from the character Xia Houwu played by Donnie Yen, and the "One Door" to which Xia Houwu belongs is a Combining the martial arts of boxing, feet, grabbing, weapons, and internal martial arts, there is a meaning of the same origin of martial arts in the world.
With the experience of "October Siege", the director's martial arts scenes in "One Man's Martial Arts" appear to be at ease. Compared with Wong Kar-wai's "slow" in handling martial arts choices, Chen Desen is going to the opposite "fast", with fast Make it fast, if the action of martial arts is accelerated, the scheduling of the film will also speed up, just watching the martial arts scene will make the audience adrenaline, realistic and exciting, and through this film, I want to pay tribute to the Hong Kong martial arts film with a strong taste, except from time to time The actors who made cameo appearances were all actors or behind-the-scenes staff who had a high status in the history of martial arts films. Boxing"), and the plot of the movie is a bridge to arrange a filming on the set. These are nothing more than the director wanting to thank colleagues who have contributed to Hong Kong movies, and they are quite thoughtful.
The actors who impressed Danny Biao are Meng Hai and Jiang David. The reason is that Meng Hai is really old and he has gained a lot of weight. He is completely different from the little monk in "The Legend of Shushan". David Jiang The role in the movie is impressive. The role he plays is Chen Boguang, who is good at using weapons, knives and sticks. This makes Danny Biao associate this role with Tian Boguang, who is proud of the world, but Chen Boguang is not like this. Just lustful.
The era described in the film is not the ancient times that the general public thinks of martial arts. It is a depiction of the martial arts world in the heart of the modern social environment. It is not flying with a sword, and it is not inner strength qigong. Competing against each other and deciding between life and death is not as simple as verbal promises or life-and-death declarations as before. The roles played by Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang are both antagonistic and sympathetic. Different concepts are in conflict. One is to decide the outcome at the juncture of life and death. First.
The film martial arts presentation is still excellent, but the plot is a bit unfortunate. Although it is not too bad, the emotional rendering is always compressed by the fast-paced technique. The time to capture the emotional transformation of the characters is not long enough and not deep enough. The movie has a better performance. Maybe the arrangement of the ending is to echo one of the elements of the movie, "Tang Qian Yan". If Donnie Yen continues to complete it, it will definitely strengthen the original martial arts point of view, and choose to echo the "Tang Qian Yan" element. It is nothing more than to emphasize that no matter how high martial arts are, what is the use of martial arts? After all, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he always survives under the hands of those in power!
Wang Baoqiang's performance in "One Man's Martial Arts" is not bad. Although he still can't escape the routine in "Frozen Walker (Volume 1)", there is still a small breakthrough in this film. The evil spirit is played by him for himself. The addition of the role adds a madness to the role, and the presentation is not very different from the previous works, resulting in part of the performance that still makes the audience realize that he is a comedian, which makes the movie broadcast that he should not appear. audience laughing.
