In the past two years, Jackie Chan can be said to be very successful. On the one hand, his personal honor reached the peak and he won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. This is the most important award that Chinese people have won in the European and American film fields. The box-office appeal of Jackie Chan's investment in the past two years has been rated as average, but its ability to attract money is good. But we can still see some hidden dangers from behind these glories. The poor quality of the previous films has overdrawn the attention of fans. More importantly, Jackie Chan is 63 years old this year. How long can he go on with this kung fu comedy routine? Even if you continue to walk, will the audience still buy it? I think Mr. Jackie Chan himself is thinking about this issue, so I am very happy to see the movie "British Showdown" and see the trend of Jackie Chan's transformation.
Although this movie is still based on action scenes, you can see Jackie Chan's acting skills. Sitting on the bus with a dull, sad and relieved expression in his eyes, I have to say it is very catchy. With decades of acting experience and 60 years of life experience, Jackie Chan's acting skills are indeed shown in this play, allowing us to see another possibility of Jackie Chan - a Jackie Chan who plays a tragic drama. Of course, Jackie Chan's film was chosen very well. On the one hand, international capital was introduced, and 007 was added to help out. The recent addition of Liu Tao, who has been very popular, made the film's watchability sharply increased; "The theme, and then mixed with the British political background, has improved the film pattern. In this case, Jackie Chan can show his acting skills more freely - at least without worrying too much about the box office. But everything has two sides. The British political background added is not popular enough, and the sense of substitution is not strong, so it has caused a certain degree of barriers to viewing movies. But in general, this can be regarded as Jackie Chan's excellent work in recent years - at least worthy of the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.
Through the movie "British Showdown", I thought of another movie - "Ocean Paradise" starring Jet Li. The protagonists are all old martial arts superstars, and the storylines are all tragic, and they are all out of the inherent performance mode of kung fu fighting stars. The most important thing is that both of them gave excellent performances in their respective films. From this, we can get a glimpse of the ambitions of these kung fu superstars-even if they are in their twilight years, they do not want to enter their twilight years in their acting career. The great achievements made in kung fu films in the early years became their shackles at this time, the image was solidified, and the shortcomings of insufficient acting skills were constantly exposed, which made them try to transform, but had to transform.
Mr. Li Lianjie has also faded out of the entertainment circle in recent years due to some reasons of his own body. He is a little regretful and wishes him good health. Mr. Jackie Chan has always been active in the front line, and this time there is also a good transformation. If Mr. Jackie Chan is willing, I hope he will dedicate more good works in the future. After all, he is also a good memory of my childhood. No one wants to see the hero Twilight go...
