It is said that this is Jet Li’s last martial arts film. As for why, it still seems to be an unshakable baggage. However, it is obvious that Jet Li has "enlightened the Tao" - it can be seen from his non-questioning and self-answering and endless talk when facing reporters. It's like a child suddenly found a house full of toys, and he wants to tell everyone about his excitement.
Therefore, Jet Li said that the movie he made was not a Kung Fu movie, but a "martial arts movie". He wanted to use Fearless to express his understanding and epiphany of martial arts and life in the past 26 years of filming.
So in the movie, we saw Jet Li, who was lost in his soul, drifted from the Shunhe River in Tianjin to a beautiful place like Guangxi or Yunnan in our country (rather than drifting into the Bohai Bay). He was rescued inexplicably and arranged in a certain place. In a village with only one old woman and one young woman, that young and beautiful blind daughter, Sun Li, didn’t know why she suddenly remembered that Jet Li, who was about to dress up the beggar, was washing her hair, and when she was washing her hair, she recited meaningfully: "
My mother-in-law said that people have to wash frequently to walk in the world refreshingly." When I saw this scene in the movie, I understood Jet Li: He wanted to wash everyone through the movie "Huo Yuanjia". As for why he wanted to wash everyone, Jet Li was completely enlightened or enlightened. Enlightenment is of course a good thing, he wants to share with everyone, he wants to enlighten everyone.
If you don't want to be washed in the cinema, you may be very angry or dumbfounded by watching this movie "Fearless." We can admit that Jet Li has understood some truths about martial arts and life, but this is still a long way from understanding what a movie is. At the very least, he didn't understand the fact that the audience's expectation of paying for the movie theater to follow the bathhouse was different.
If I make a movie, I will say that I am not a kung fu movie or an action movie, and I do not want to join any genre. This is actually a lack of understanding and disrespect for the movie, the audience, and the business.
As Li Ang pointed out, the problem with Chinese-language films is that they have not yet formed their own mature genre film model. In the operation of apparently commercial films, our producers or directors are still too arbitrary and self-righteous. Everyone is reluctant to explore, summarize and abide by the laws of local commercial films suitable for the Chinese market. We will never produce mature and successful films. Commercial film.
Therefore, the crux of the problem is not that the filmmakers have to wash the audience, but the filmmakers themselves have to wash their brains. It's not ashaming to make genre movies, but it's ashaming that we don't make genre movies at all.
