masters, swords, lights, swords, shadows, blood and rain, the eighteen green forest heroes gather together, and the scene where the road sees injustice and roars once only existed in Hong Kong films and mainland films in the 1970s and 1980s. The spiritual core is zero! The cultural differences between China and the West have been mixed for many years, but there are very few products that are really popular. The reason why Angda Angie's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can win the Oscar is very simple. They have never seen it before.


In recent years, European and American action movies have more or less elements of Chinese martial arts, and the protagonists also have the style of heroes such as Qiao Feng and Hu Yidao. The recently released "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows" ", although the four turtles are all born in ninjutsu, but every move is completely Chinese martial arts routines, compared to the previous popcorn action blockbuster, the chivalrous spirit in the turtles 2 can be seen, the four gods. Turtles possess unique skills, but they deviate from human society and live in the sewers for a long time. How can such superheroes not be known to the world! In order to defend New York City, the four Turtle brothers are willing to be underground heroes, and no one knows them. Isn't this a model of chivalry?


The so-called chivalrous spirit is that after turning the tide and sharing the hatred with the enemy, he silently disappeared from the crowd. A group of ordinary citizens asked dumbfoundedly who rescued them? But looking at the current European and American blockbusters, many blackened heroes make people laugh. The kind of pure saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda performance indicators are gone. Fortunately, people can be blackened, but animals are Fortunately, especially the tortoise, which represents longevity and well-being in China, such a positive image has been registered by Laomei. I really can't laugh or cry. If the tortoise lived in the Three Kingdoms era, it might have already ruled the world.


There is a Tao, a sword is ruthless, and a human being has feelings. The chivalrousness of the tortoise brothers is twofold. On the surface, they save all beings, but they also have ambiguity in their own cognition. The feeling of being born as a turtle cannot be integrated into human society. The writers and directors may be sneering at the increasingly fierce racial discrimination in North America, but when the protagonist becomes a minority group, their entanglement and unhappiness are compared with the righteousness. in this way.
