Good turnaround in the second half

I can't stand watching half of it, it's a bit dull, the contrasts of various symbols are funny, I thought it was a regular Diaosi counterattack routine movie, but the final reversal is not bad, the male protagonist fits this clumsy and weak character too well , Wei Nuo Nuo is even destined to be a loser for a lifetime, some bridges are just a bit annoying or even hate that iron is not steel, haha. In the end, what is the stalk of the last female lead, why not just dissolve the whole thing? Or do you want to let everyone no longer be subjected to such routines through the real formal teaching of karate?

    An exaggerated fable. It may seem absurd, but we all know it's true. Toxic masculinity is like this. It may be possessed by a karate coach, or a goddamn teacher who pressures students to drink half a catty of liquor. It has shaped a lot of arrogance, "wolf nature", and thinks that it is making the world a better place. A regime where humans become stronger. How incredible it seems to you, how real it is.

    [YVR-IV] A very wonderful black comedy, concise and to the point. The themes are clear (the growth of the weak, and the notion of strength and weakness), and it's not sloppy: the elements of excellence are used reasonably at least twice in the film. The weirdness in the form of expression magnifies the dark humor (off-topic: it is hard not to be reminiscent of the film of the Greek Weird Wave, and the Greek Weird Wave film, due to the theme, many similar dialogues will lead to laughter, but these laughter are very important to this film. The positioning of the black comedy is very helpful), the ending is surprising and black!

The Art of Self-Defense quotes

  • Gun Store Owner: There is a waiting period before you can legally purchase this gun. It's so a person who is upset with another person can't come in here and buy a gun to shoot that person with. Instead, they have to wait a little while before they can do that.

  • Gun Store Owner: In a violent altercation, an armed victim is much more likely to be shot and killed than an unarmed victim. Suicide is more common with gun owners too. You're really going to love owning a gun.
