Kung Fu has personality

In private opinion, one of the two best kung fu movies.
The other is Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu".

This film is not only good-looking, but also the most embossed in the presentation of Kung Fu and the "Kung Fu language".

People of our generation who watch martial arts have acquiesced in some basic martial arts formulas.
For example, kung fu is divided into styles. Hard and soft, fast and slow, fiery and ferocious, and light and agile.
For example, different personalities correspond to different kung fu. For example, Hong Qigong is upright and upright, so he should use the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms that open and close. Huang Yaoshi is unrestrained and unrestrained, so he should use the colorful and light Luoying Divine Sword Palm. Linghu Chong is unrestrained, so he should use the Dugu Nine Swords. Mr. Mo Da is hidden in the city, and his personality is difficult to write.
For example, the pattern of kung fu is also character. Kung fu masters all pay attention to realm.

These, in "Fighting Heroes", are perfectly reflected.
Huo Tingen represents traditional Chinese Kung Fu, with skills and flexibility, but the actual strategy is not very good.
Chen Zhen represents the combination of Chinese and Western Kung Fu, rapid, flexible and explosive.
Akutagawa Ryuichi represents traditional Japanese Kung Fu, Karate.
Fumio Funakoshi represents the pinnacle of Japanese martial arts. Solid and powerful, outstanding in actual combat.
Fujita Takeshi represents the pinnacle of actual combat.
When they fight, you can see the difference in style and their own temperament, and it is enough.


Chen Zhen defeated Huo Tingen with a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and then the dialogue with Fumio Funakoshi was a dialogue between different ideological systems of Kung Fu.
"To knock down the opponent, the best way is to use a pistol. The purpose of martial arts is to raise your physical fitness to the limit. To achieve this level, you must understand all living beings in the world."
These are actually "Grandmaster"-level topics.

Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" uses a lot of gorgeous displays and stunts to restore the look of Kung Fu in our childhood concept, and to collide it is freehand.
"A Generation of Grandmasters" describes their realm and the rivers and lakes of Kung Fu masters, which is realistic.
The feelings of "Heroes of Jingwu" may not be as deep as the previous two films, but in the design of the fighting drama, it really fully reflects the above-mentioned "Kung Fu personality" and "Kung Fu language". The combination of solidity and splendor of reasoning in fighting drama is unique.


Personally think the most interesting passage:

Chen Zhen: Mr. Funakoshi's martial arts is the first, it means that his martial arts cultivation is not his murder trick.
Funakoshi (shaking his head and smiling, muttering to the air): Huo Yuanjia, I lost. I didn't expect you to have such a good apprentice.

Fighting and fighting the body is unparalleled in the world, and fighting in the air is also a long-lasting charm.

    Yesterday, I discussed the experience of #xiangqi# with my new friend. I remembered the line in this movie "the best offense is defense", but it seems that this line can also be a pun, or it can be understood as "the best "The defense is the offense", the way of offense and defense, according to local conditions...... I love the gentleman duel between Chen Zhen and Fumio Funakoshi...... One is high-spirited, the other is old-fashioned, is boxing afraid of young people, or "Jiang is still Old Spicy"...

    No matter how strong an ant is, it can't defeat a giant elephant who wakes up from a dream. No matter how clever the martial arts, can not face the ruthless pistol. A true national hero must see clearly the hatred of the country and the family and the love of the children. The true successor of Jingwu must distinguish between martial arts cultivation and murder. Wushu is the inheritance of form and meaning, and fighting is the explosion of power and skill. Give up standing still and learn from others' strengths. Only by continuous creation and communication can we carry forward the martial arts spirit. Chen Jia's award for the best film is also a milestone for Chinese-language action films. While showing the feelings of family and country, the national hero who was originally masked is portrayed as an ordinary person with desire and weakness. The arc of the characters is full and three-dimensional, which is convincing. At the same time, Yuan Heping's understanding of martial arts and fighting has reached an unprecedented height in both forward-looking and ornamental. The original intention of practicing martial arts directly affects his cultivation and style. In terms of soundtrack, Gu Jiahui has reached new heights, the sad and clear shakuhachi, the implicit and mournful bamboo flute, the melodious violin, and the murderous pipa. The use of musical instruments has also achieved a fusion of the East and the West, and the soundtrack of each scene is just right. , is a must.
