Inner Peace is the ultimate weapon

This is definitely not a Zhang Wuji or Linghu Chong type of martial arts master growth path written by Jin Yong, nor is there a crazy old man in Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" who came to tell anyone about your little brother. This is a super panda who was raised in a noodle shop by a stupid goose. The boss is not too young, and there are dolls of the Fantastic Four in the house. He is obsessed with the legend of kung fu and can't extricate himself. In addition to his unparalleled fat, he is also unparalleled fat!

But it was this fat that allowed him to defeat the mighty jackal in the first episode. That scene, I believe the classmates who have seen it will still remember it, not so much that he was killed (perhaps not dead?), but that Po was crushed to death by his fat body.

In the second episode, Po's housekeeping skills are updated. That fat body is still radiant, even increasing (you can put 40 buns in your mouth at a time!), although bullying and bullying miscellaneous soldiers is absolutely invincible, but... the opponent in this episode is a gun with no eyes Cannon, fat meat is useless!

As a result, the Tai Chi master civet cat was about to understand when he was about to enter the ground, and Bao mastered it and carried it forward. Softness overcomes rigidity, and static braking. When I saw him in the movie theater practicing pushing hands with water droplets in the heavy rain, and looking for the inner peace that the civet cat master told him, I thought... This guy won't be able to use cannonballs as water droplets in the end, right? ? Even with this kind of mental preparation, I was still very excited when I saw the final battle between King Peacock and Po's flesh and blood against steel gunpowder. The best 3D effect of the year so far is definitely his.

The film is promoting the main theme, why did Po grow into a hero of the world? Why did the hilarious fat repeatedly save his life at critical moments, and even become an invincible weapon? Perhaps, what we have always thought of as strong—whether it is inside or outside, is not always the kind of aggressiveness or sharp-edgedness; the strength we pursue may not always have to be achieved by being like a delicate tiger (what a broken translation! ) has been splitting and beating iron wood for 20 years to grind out a body without feeling at all. The strength we are looking for may only be used to escape the fear and weakness in our hearts, and to build a comfortable haven for ourselves for the past that we are unwilling to face.

At first, A Bao thought that in order to win, he had to practice the kung fu of iron palms, but when he faced the Peacock King, he had the opportunity to capture this guy with "lack of motherly love" twice, but he failed because he faced the Peacock King. The fear in his heart, the strength of his previous strength was actually fundamentally fragile, and even made him collapse, and he almost lost his life.

Later, the mysterious goddess Yang Xiangu, perhaps the white smoke of divination was just a trick, but when she was treating A Bao, she really woke him up. Open your heart and face your fears. Only by letting go of yourself can you get the real so-called inner peace. As the beautiful little tiger said, what you really need is not to train a numb body by hitting stakes. Abao's strength is his original self, when he faces the terrible past, remembers his own life experience, and understands that his "duck dad" is the source of the real fatherly love he has always received. of liberation and inner peace.

Tai Chi is a philosophy that pursues the balance between the universe and the individual. As in the movie, Po who understands this martial art. From the restlessness on the road of adventure in the first half of the movie, until finally unloading the inner burden, standing firmly on a small island in the vast smoke and waves, facing the steel cannonballs fired from the mountains and seas alone, with a pair of flesh and blood hand, to resolve "the kung fu that was supposed to deal with kung fu". The Peacock King said, "how did u do that?" Perhaps, only when the knot in his heart is unraveled, can he really understand the answer to this question.

Is the Peacock King dead? At least...there is no positive account in the film. what.
