Man Of Tai Chi--Don't Lose Yourself

In terms of the plot alone, there is nothing new, and I don't want to watch it after watching it for ten minutes. Many places feel unrealistic. When Karen Mok was filming Keanu as a gangster boss, it was so easy to film. There is also Ren Dahua, who guessed from the beginning that he was with Keanu. Some parts of the action feel good, others feel obviously fake. But the soundtrack is good. From the above alone, two stars. Keanu, Chen Hu, Karen Mok, Samsung.

What struck me the most was what Keanu said in Chen Hu's last game, and the entertainment he provided was for people to watch Chen Hu's fortunes change with their own eyes. The loss of innocence, the road to perdition. Thinking about it carefully, it is true that Chen Hu has been sinking all the way. One becomes disoriented. Are we also gradually losing ourselves because of something? I read a sentence: The biggest tragedy of growing up is that you become the person you once hated. Indeed, with the passage of time and the influence of the outside world, we are slowly changing, even losing ourselves, forgetting our own ambitions, dreams, and things we once insisted on. In the movie, Chen Hu quickly changes back, from being lost to finding himself in just over a month. Of course, this is also a bad part of the movie; the change is too fast. But what about real life? Many people have never found their original selves in their lives, and they have even forgotten what they were like and what they wanted to be. This is a very sad thing. This is a lifetime opportunity, only once. There is no chance to start all over again. Every time I think about it, I have a strange feeling. I can't tell what it is. Maybe it's a sense of awe. This is only one life, how to live. How to choose I don't want to lose my pure self, and I don't want to become someone I look down on in the future.

Finally, we have four stars.

Man of Tai Chi quotes

  • Female Announcer: A fine line separates a fighter from a warrior. One is motivated by reason, the other, by purpose.

  • Master Yang: You must meditate.

    'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: Why?

    Master Yang: To clear your mind, guide your Chi and gain control.

    'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: I have control.

    Master Yang: No, you have power not control.

    'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: Power is control.

    Master Yang: That is an illusion.

    'Tiger' Chen Lin Hu: It is not an illusion... it's reality. I live in it, you don't. What I learn here I can't use out there.

    Master Yang: How can you use what you have not yet learned? Only when you've dispelled these illusions, will you find your way again.
