How mysterious is Eastern civilization in the eyes of Westerners! It is said that Jet Li complained in private that "the films made in Hollywood are not satisfactory", and Luc Besson also published "There are many good actors in China, but the films they made in Hollywood are their worst films." "Then the two hit it off, and they got together. Acupuncture and moxibustion have almost become a science fiction theme, or a modern version of a martial arts novel. Of course, this is an exaggeration. In fact, the whole film is an exaggeration. The style is still realistic. In Jet Li’s action movies, it is of high quality and blockbuster looks. Only when it comes to acupuncture and acupuncture points, it shows that it is neither scientific nor traditional and purely frightening. Unique orientation. Where is the acupuncture point called "Dragon Kiss" in Chinese acupuncture? There is also the effect of causing blood to flow up all over the body and the seven orifices to bleed to death? Where is the magical "sleeping hole" where one needle goes down and sleeps like a mountain, and when one needle goes out, you wake up? But don’t worry about it. Anyway, it’s making movies. Every action movie that expresses heroism must have a lethal weapon. "Broken Arrow" contains missiles, "Rock Breaker" contains chemical poisons, and "Dragon Kiss" It has become acupuncture. The former kills people like a numb, while the latter kills people invisible and on a smaller scale. However, it is sure to let Westerners look cold, and they must stay away from Chinese people walking on the street; I don’t know the old man Luc Besson. Do you really have a "demonized" Chinese culture in your heart?
Looking back at the movie itself, the role of the perverted police inspector has become a tribute to Luc Besson's "This Killer Is Not So Cold", but because it is too similar and lacks transcendence, it can't be ignored. The highlight of the film; I personally think that the performance of the heroine Fonda is accurate and can be called a classic. A street prostitute representing a disadvantaged group and a framed Chinese police officer meet in the back streets of Paris. This unexpected emotional bond It also adds a sense of realism and justice to Jet Li’s heroic image, which makes the whole story instantly meaningful, and makes people tempted to reflect on who the police have protected and bullied in this social system.
Luc Besson and Jet Li have collaborated on two films. He said that he feels good because he "respects Jet Li". As for how Jet Li feels, he has not yet seen his relevant remarks. Personally, I feel that this film is obviously better than "Danny the Wolf Dog". For the latter, the Chinese have a great extent beyond the film itself, such as "national pride is trampled on" opinions, but from the film itself, the intention is to reflect the beauty. The process of strangling and awakening human nature is not as vivid as in "Soldier", so thanks to the Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, we still give this rare collaborative work a higher score.
