Watching "Fighting Fist: Chen Zhen", Chen Zhen is distorted and confused

Today, I finally came to the theater as I wished to watch the long-awaited blockbuster film "The Legend of Wushu: Chen Zhen" by Donnie Yen. Disappointment and feelings of loss made me have to say a little bit about my current mentality in this film.
To be honest, as a patriotic kung fu movie, it is a remake of a classic character! Intense enough, tender enough, but not logical enough! ! It was wonderful, but there was no clear reason for it!
The film tells the well-known story of Chen Zhen. Everyone knows who Chen Zhen is! , Is the most powerful apprentice of Jingwu School Kungfu! Although he is a fictional character,
I sincerely express my admiration and admiration as a Chinese who hates evil, coexists with truth and justice, and smashes Japan. Who is Yen Zidan! One of the few Hong Kong kung fu superstars in Asia and the world has performed "Chen Zhen" a long time ago.
Of course, it was a series directed by him. Enough blood, patriotic, and man! ! Now he has become a new generation of Chinese Kung Fu superstar after going through the "Slaying the Wolf", "The Fuse" and "Ip Man" series! Interpretation again, "Chen Zhen"
Kung Fu is still sharp, the action is still sharp, the director found Donnie Yen to the interpretation of Chen Zhen was supposed to be the best choice, but missing Chen true character of the joint relationship and lose their home Qiu hate the country, Tadao blood character,
the Chen Zhen is portrayed as a collection of "The Green Hornet", "The Matrix", "Jing Wumen", and a bit of "Inception". A wonderful action movie,
but it is by no means a classic Kung Fu movie . It can be regarded as a commercial blockbuster, but it is not shocking and magical!

One of the failures: Japanese revenge is treated as a joke! ! Home and country hate the cart before the horse!

In the opening scene of the French World War I, the leader of the Chinese workers in the French First World War showed that although it was lively, it could not show the life experience of the Jingwumen heroes and the previous ins and outs. Why went to France is confusing. To undertake the ending of any Chen Zhen movie
is a description of this. After sweeping the Hongkou Dojo, he was killed as a gangster! Why go to seek revenge and fight? ? ? By the way, it is hatred! A kind of shameless and treacherous practice that Chinese people are oppressed, their masters are abused, and Japanese are accustomed to
The anger caused by the gnashing of teeth and hatred caused by the death, so as to prove with his fists that the Chinese are not slaughtered by others and the case of the sick man of East Asia.
I don’t know what today’s post-90s would think after watching it. I guess a lot of people would say that after Chen Zhen murdered and ran away 10 years ago, he was finally shown his true colors and could avenge him, but the Japanese kid was inferior and still failed to avenge him.
Haha, I was still mad and squatted again, and I had caught people, but in the end I let them go. What logic?
What hatred is, just want to kill and then hurry up. Since the Japanese were so aggressively killing people back then, it was just as normal as usual, but in the film, the priority was reversed. Confusion before and after. It's a failure!

Failure 2: The story is messy. The protagonist has a weak relationship with the Jingwumen. The

title of this film is "Jingwu Fengyun: Chen Zhen". Why doesn't it show the fierce picture of the Jingwumen masters fighting against the Hongkou Dojo at the beginning, but just mention it lightly, and finally go to the end. ,
Why not mention the grievances between Jingwumen and the Japanese? ? Does Chen Zhen represent the Jingwu Sect or the entire Chinese people?
I saw that the Japanese young man in the film felt that it was not too late for a gentleman to avenge him for ten years, although his job was to make various preparations for the invasion of China. Finally I found Chen Zhen and avenged his father, but unfortunately he was still madly flattened. . .
The speculation of who is righteous and who is the hero for the audience to do it by themselves makes the viewers really bewildered. .

Failure 3: Funny tampering with the protagonist's true temperament.

Chen Zhen's character is well known to everyone. He has a hot temper and a deep hatred of the Japanese. He is reckless, passionate, impulsive, and righteous. To put it bluntly, it is people who dare to do things for their own purposes without considering the consequences
. Japanese people are afraid of him because of the tooth-for-tooth style . Because of his patriotism, first-class kung fu, and suitability for the main line of revenge for his teacher, he is only such a classic in Bruce Lee's "Jing Wu Men". In this film, it turns into an unidentified, but surprisingly elegant Chen Zhen.
Knowing how to pretend, petty bourgeoisie, love scene master, these 007-style flower work is not suitable for Chen Zhen. Also play the piano this elegant plot. It is ridiculous! It's like you are a lippa who insists on filling the sun and the snow,
Then I can only describe it as "pretend B", it is really funny to play with Huang Bo's character!

Failure Four: The action design is fancy and gorgeous, but the chivalrous nature of Chinese Kung Fu movies has been lost.

Where did Chen Zhen Kung Fu come from? Of course from Jingwumen. It's so powerful, it should be true! I remember that in Jet Li’s "Jing Wu Hero", Chen Zhen played by Li and Jie Chuan Long from the Hongkou Dojo said a sentence,
"My master uses Huo Jiaquan, and I also use Huo Jiaquan to fight you. hit"! ! I don’t know how to get some cool running, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, mixed martial arts, etc. . Is it Chen Zhen? ?
Kungfu movies + patriotism movies, are those things Chinese Kungfu? ?
The essence of kung fu movies is to be divided into factions. What did the Huo family's martial arts skills fail to show? In the end, he fought the BOSS of Japan's Shao Zuo. Is Huo Jiaquan a few boxing? Isn't it the famous Mizongquan?
It's the final boss again, so how come it has been divided up in such a short time. . Even with the above-mentioned mixed fighting. . It is also necessary to show the heroic spirit of using unique tricks to meet the brave under the strong enemy, so that the audience
can enjoy the experience and reflect the higher realm of Chinese Kung Fu vs. Japanese Kung Fu! Wen has no first and Wu has no second. The success of the Ip Man series is based on the high and low of kung fu! This is the essence of real kung fu movies.
