"Fearless": I just want to tell you what martial arts are

I haven't had time to watch this film, but I heard a lot of rumors about it. First, the prosecution of the descendants of the Huo family ("Southern Weekend"), and then the interview with Jet Li; JAY's Huo Yuanjia spread everywhere on the Internet. When the movie came up, it was the opening of Li's wonderful action; then, when Huo Heti appeared, he watched Daddy Huo practicing martial arts and cut out the appearance of martial arts. The exercise of that stone is the best proof. Then there is the ring between Papa Huo and Zhao. That is the time when Huo didn't make a shot, it also hinted at what this film is about: What is martial arts?

Father Huo was defeated on the stage because he couldn't make that punch, and the young Huo might not have seen the fist that gave him a hand. The dramatic thing is that I jumped onto the ring to fight with Father Zhao; after being defeated by Zhao, he got up and said: "I swear: I, Huo Yuanjia, will not allow anyone to hit me here again!" My mother told her children what martial arts was. Huo had only hatred at the time. How could she ever understand such teachings? Then he embarked on a career of practicing martial arts. The camera quickly cuts to the adult Huo; living in the days of winning in the ring. In front of Huo's mourning hall, he said such a sentence: "Father, your punches weren't fast enough, not hard enough..."

There was an image of that beggar. That dialogue is very interesting. Question: "Huo Yuanjia, when are you first in Tianjin?" Huo smiled and asked: "I don't know, what do you say" Answer: "Just today, just today" Huo satisfied: "Haha! "I went to the ring with joy.

In the ring with Zhao, the moment Zhao was beaten down, he also stretched out his hand to grab it, it was completely instinctive. The starting point of saving the Hercules is different from the following.

After finishing the ring with Zhao, there was a very interesting scene with Sun. When Sun said: "...State matters." Huo replied very understandingly: "State affairs? You literati worry about it. I am a martial artist, be me. "The number one in Jinmen" when Sun asked him again: "Is the number one in Jinmen really so important?" Huo pulled this grandson to the ring, "Jing Sun, you always stand under the ring and watch. Now standing on top, how do you feel the difference?" Sun replied with a confused look: "What is the difference?" Huo: "Under the ring, life and death on the stage are not related to you, you just have fun; But if you stand here, you can only win, not lose! The literati's grandson is even more interesting: "Then you don't have to go to the ring? "Huo, standing on the ring, even heard the cheers from the audience in the quiet night; Sun was even more confused: "Listen to what?" I didn't hear anything." "Huoye, you are our hero!" it is good! well played! it is good! Very good! Very good! it is good! Huo Daxia..." It keeps emitting, filling Huo's whole mind.

Everything starts to swell.

Every time a group of people come back after winning the challenge, "After drinking this glass of wine, you are brothers." "Amidst the cheers of winning, it rose to a desire and pleasure. The superiority of the strong and the glory of winning permeated the whole person. Drinking openly, Yingge Yewu. When everyone cheered, the ears passed: "There is also Master Qin! "If you want to be the real No. 1 in Tianjin, you must play!" "Then outside Jinmen......" "But I can't stand, only fight." Fighting can prove that I am better than others.” The superiority of the strong, which made his desire to beat Qin and become the number one in Jinmen, rose to the top. The fuse is the mob in Sun’s eyes. [Wu Pin, not by drinking a big bowl of wine!], but in Huo's eyes, it has become a matter of the so-called loyalty disciples on the rivers and lakes; knowing that it was Qin Ye did it, gave him the best reason : Fight! Regardless of the so-called justice at Qin’s birthday banquet, in fact, what is retrieved is the sense of superiority, the sense of superiority similar to winning in an arena; regardless of the obstruction of friends; "You say I am foolish ? ….. You are afraid that I will destroy your restaurant, I, Huo Yuanjia, pay compensation at the price!" Not to worry about the break of friends for many years. He won, he did it! He did it? From that moment on , He may have just begun to be confused, but when he was cheered by the apprentices into the restaurant opposite, he was a little tired from drinking that night.

The moment he walked past the ring, the beggar appeared again: "Huo Yuanjia, when are you number one in Jinmen?" "Just today!" "Just today" "Huo Yuanjia, Jinmen first?" , Just today." When I got everything, all that was left was exhaustion.

After returning home and discovering that his relatives had been killed, his mind was cold and cold, and he fell back to a trough. One night, everything changed. After the mischief, those'disciples' knelt in front of Huo, who had returned from the Qin family, and told the truth of the matter, "The other brothers know..." From that moment, they were completely fooled into the low point of life.

Everything becomes meaningless.

I can't even find the meaning of life. Living in poverty, living like a corpse. At the moment of his suicide, it seemed that he had found a peaceful life again, with mothers and children. He was saved in that village, quiet and isolated; it was the place where he was born again. From the moment you wash your hair, everything begins to be reborn. And in the end, the feeling of planting seedlings: the competitive mentality is still the life of the ring. "Look, you are doing it blindly during the day, and Aunt Yueci won't let us say that she is helping you re-insert it." In fact, it is helping it (him) to be reborn. "Seedlings are also alive. They can't get too close, and they will hinder growth when they get close. Just like us, we must respect each other in our lives so that we can live peacefully and happily." "I will remember. !" .... After years of such a peaceful life, I slowly walked out of that circle. When I saw that the villagers were going to their graves, they seemed to be going back.

When I returned to Tianjin, everything became unfamiliar. The beggar appeared again: "Fearless! Jinmen first! Fearless! Jinmen first! Fearless! Back to the ring" In fact, the three appearances each time hinted at different levels of life. The first time was when desires began to explode, the second time was the loss after the exploding peak, and the third time was the beginning of rebirth.

After such a cycle in the above, did we begin to explore what martial arts is?

The first thing I did when I came back went to the ancestral house and burned all the signs of life and death that symbolized my previous pursuit of martial arts (to be the first in Jinmen). It symbolizes the dividing line from the previous life; I think of my parents, understand why my father didn't punch that punch in the ring, and understand the mother's teachings of being born. From the moment of comprehension, the film tries to explain what martial arts is?

The first thing is to burn a stick of incense for Qin Ye; then to admit his mistake with Sun Qu, which is completely different from the swelling in the past. Because in that era, foreign powers bullied the people. After receiving the support of Sun (after some misunderstanding), they were in the ring in Shanghai. It’s a bad habit in China. But we have another tradition, called “Yiwu Huiyou”!” It won applause; what’s interesting is that the host translated it like this: “He wants to keep you baste” !" (In Chinese: "He said he will teach you a ton of lessons" I don’t know if there is a transliteration error.) The attitude towards life and death before and after is actually a different understanding of martial arts. Wushu contains a kind of being born. Philosophy.

There is such a detail in the game: when the Hercules is about to be knocked out of the ring, reach out and grab it (there is a nail below); this action has also been done with Zhao before, but it is a comparison of two completely different mental states; the former It was a subconscious action, and this time it was from a deep understanding of martial ethics in the heart. The difference in initiative.

After Sun gave up the restaurant in Tianjin, and Huo established the Jingwu Gymnastics Club, he defined martial arts as follows: Wushu is the only method for cultivating the body and self-cultivation, without any sects, with the essence of communication and mutual advancement, strong physique, and wisdom and virtue. With both, the citizens can rejuvenate and become self-reliant. This is just to introduce the concept of martial arts, and the following is personal practice. Use actions to tell the audience what martial arts are.

While drinking tea and discussing Taoism with Tanaka Yasano, he also tried to explain what martial arts is? Martial arts is a process of self-knowledge.

In He Tanaka Yasano's arena, it is a real contest between martial arts (skills) players. There is no contest in the arena, because the contest is true with oneself, not the transcendence of true self-consciousness. You can compete only when you surpass yourself and achieve no contention. Another role was added, and Sanda, who had countless interests, reputation, and status, was the one who poisoned him. The last punch in his life, the punch he gave to Master Qin, does it mean the same in terms of technique and moves? Why are there two completely different effects? It's the poison factor, it's not. It is a process of self-transcendence, a manifestation of martial ethics.

In fact, throughout the movie, through a character like Fearless, what do you want to tell the people? What is real martial arts in consciousness? Understanding of countless. Always interspersed in the story; this also made me think of Jet Li’s previous interview: He said that he wanted to tell the world what martial arts is through a movie.

The movies I have passed, and others, have given me such an influence: martial arts includes a high level of competition, and another is that when you become a strong (because of the basis of the high level of competition), you will rise to the philosophy of being born into a human being. high.
