The soundtracks in the movies can make us grow up watching Cantonese martial arts movies, and bring back so many memories, the kind of warm life of the common people in the prelude of "Donghai Fisherman's Song", the hero of "Sichuan General Order" who sacrificed his life proudly Died in the first battle, the chill of Zheng Feng's "House of Flying Daggers", the appearance of a peerless master in "The Order of the Generals", the stunt scene in the melee of "Heroes defeated the Dadu River", the "Knife Club" The kind of feeling that a knight is hurt by a traitor and has no plans to escape (I remember this part of the classic black and white movie Tathagata's hand of Mr. Lemon, the soundtrack of the fire cloud evil spirit in the back of the thunderbolt silver shuttle fleeing to the barren mountain temple.) "Donghai Fisherman's Song" A period of that kind of finale master hit the sun and the moon without light....

Stephen Chow is definitely not only a tribute to Mr. Bruce Lee, the god of kung fu in movies, but also some martial arts stars such as Tan Daoliang and other real kung fu actors, as well as the participants in the hard bridge hard horse real kung fu Mandarin kung fu film in the era of director Zhang Che, Going forward to the Cantonese martial arts film era, Cao Dahua, Yu Suqiu, Lemon, Gao Laoquan, Shi Jian and many other actors, the director and the behind-the-scenes staff would like to express their highest regards.

This is a collective memory of all childhood kung fu fans. It is really a kind of sigh, just like the dialogue in the film: [Pork ribs: Memory is the source of pain, you can forget it, it is a blessing! A Xing: Listening to you say that, it seems like a hidden sigh. Pork Ribs: Asking how much sorrow can you have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. ]. Why is it a kind of sigh, because the theme of kung fu is chivalry (this is only heard from Zhou Xingchi in an interview, and the so-called comments written by someone in the future are rarely mentioned.) This is the loyalty, traitor and chivalrous righteousness that we have been familiar with since childhood, but everything is going on in today's society.

This film is a heavy blow to the vulgar cultural values ​​of today's society. Today's Chinese society has money and people are indifferent. The truth is that today's newspaper reported that a girl in Chengdu, Sichuan, was stabbed to death with a knife by a psychopath who liked to find a beautiful girl to play with. People stand by and watch, what an indifferent world this is, where does the traditional Chinese chivalrous spirit go? What's more, in today's society, loyalty and evil are indistinguishable, and those who are righteous and dare to speak will only be annoying. The mainstream culture is to eat, drink, and have fun. Self-preservation is a smart person. In the past, the hero and righteousness that was advocated in the past made people laugh. What else can we say. The real noble sentiment of social values ​​is to be a chivalrous person, to maintain justice, and when you are stronger than others, you have a greater responsibility, not to bully the weak. In the film, when the girl's family knelt down and offered a bowl of food to the three Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon masters as a thank you, it was a burst of tears. It was this feeling of loss, and it was this chivalrous spirit that accompanied us when we grew up. of.

There are many people commenting that kung fu is not funny, Stephen Chow is no longer as funny as the previous movies, but it seems that this movie Stephen Chow really made a set of his dream movie, this is the true face of Stephen Chow, the former Stephen Chow was laughing To please all lay people and movie bosses, just like this, the little gangster Zhou Xingchi in the film has always wanted to join the gang to make money and get ahead, but this is a distortion of his nature, and in the end, his nature is revealed. Don't forget the days when Stephen Chow was the host of the TVB "430 Crossing Machine" children's program. Even if he had a dream at the time, it was difficult to stretch his mind. When he came out and became a ridiculous acting and funny, it was just a tool. In the movie, Si Silu has one hand, but it is only the top of the iceberg, but this time I will finish my childhood dream in one breath.

I saw on the Internet that Director Ang Lee appreciates "Kung Fu" and that Stephen Chow is a prodigy. It can be said that Mr. Ang Lee understands that what Stephen Chow expressed in Kung Fu is actually the same as that expressed in his masterpiece "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The same chivalry, but the performance method is subtle and unrestrained. Director Ang Lee once sat at home for ten years during the low ebb, and he completely felt in his heart that he understood the metaphor of turning a butterfly. How many ordinary lay people can understand, and how many hardships have you endured? The weird chicken "Kung Fu" that seems crazy and doesn't follow the rules, such as "Dr. IQ" and "Dragon Ball" cartoons, is Stephen Chow's director Kung Fu. Its musical effects and imaginative shooting techniques are actually comparable to the beautiful "Standard Killing Order", but "Kung Fu" is really shot The essence of the purpose of Chinese martial arts movies is not like the crazy revenge that can only be stimulated by the standard killing order, and it is no wonder that the Titan Taren Kuntianu said after watching it that he wanted to find Zhou Xingchi to cooperate. In addition, the author thinks of the blind piano player in the film with the sound of killing people. I have been thinking of Zheng Wen's famous cartoon "Abi Sword" in which the blind man sells swords in the rain. Lenovo.

The real theme song in "Kung Fu" should be the old song "Just live for you one day" by Mr. Liu Jiachang. The first two sentences are: "As long as I live for one day for you, this is my wish." But the emotion of this paragraph The play is also really strange, why the female lead Huang Shengyi looks so like Zhu Yin, this mystery can only be understood by Mr. Zhou Xingchi's own heart. At the end, the scene where the mute girl is reunited and then returns to the child's body is also inexplicably touching. The children under the camera have candy in their hands. This candy is Stephen Chow's wish to continue the lost chivalrous spirit of China.

If you look at Zhou Xingchi in the mood of "Zhong Kick Wave", then you underestimate Zhou Xingchi.
