My daughter-in-law was quarantined on a business trip, so I downloaded a lot of martial arts movies, and watched enough at a time. When I was a child, I could only watch "Once Upon a Time" and "Fang Shiyu" series of movies on CCTV. I was very obsessed with martial arts films and Jet Li, and I would jump with excitement when watching movies. I really like the Japanese elements in "Heroes of Jingwu". Among Jet Li's kung fu films, "Essential Wu" is very special, and the rating is also the highest 8.5, well-made, and the three fights can be called textbook version, I think it is With such a high rating, in addition to sharp casting, hardworking actors, and excellent production, there are four aspects that surpass ordinary martial arts films: First, the "martial arts cultivation level" in martial arts exceeds that of martial arts competitions. The most effective way to knock down an opponent is with a pistol. Funakoshi has clearly explained the martial arts concept expressed in the movie. Competition is only a small part of martial arts. The higher level is martial arts cultivation. Traditional Chinese martial arts may not be the strongest competition, but the cultural connotation of martial arts is one move and one style. They are all inherited and exquisite, such as Five Elements Boxing, which seems to be invented by Sun Simiao or someone else, and the physical exercise moves of mimic animals have a certain philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine in it. The simple word "wu" also has a deep philosophical connotation. The word "wu" is divided into "zhige", or we can understand it this way, the purpose of martial arts is not just for competition. The second is that Hottingen surpasses himself at the end of the credits. When he and Chen Zhen fought against the curator, at first Chen Zhen didn't have the upper hand with Huo Jiaquan, but he won with his competitive skills later, and at the end of the film, Ting En passed the Huo Jiaquan to Chen Zhen, and hoped that he can be passed on to many people. In this regard, Huo Tingen's cultivation base is a continuation, and even surpasses Huo Yuanjia's martial arts concept. It is true that Chen Zhen in the movie is similar to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do in reality. They both learned new things from traditional martial arts. Competition for the purpose of actual combat is a form of Chinese martial arts. Understanding is an excellent representative of traditional Chinese martial arts philosophy: Return to the original intention of strengthening the body and inherit the Chinese martial arts culture. Third, the image of Japan goes beyond ordinary movies. It describes the coercion of the Japanese people by the Japanese military in a very objective way. We can see many Japanese people with a sense of justice, character, warmth, and principles. For the film, this is very real and logical. At the same time, the image of the Japanese military is more evil and brutal, and the contrast between the two groups of people makes the characters of both sides more full and three-dimensional. Fourth, the hero's love story is narrated by two women with special status (Japanese woman and Fengchen woman) in a special era. The ideal love is expressed in a way that breaks tradition and transcends nationality. Whether it is Photon saving Chen Zhen's "sacrificing one's life", Xiaohong's "chivalrous exhortation" for Jingwumen and Huo Tingen, under the background of turbulent and multi-national aggression, this The plot of "beauty saves the hero" gave us a feast for the eyes, overwhelmed the "pure love addiction", and Cai Shaofen and Zhongshan Renren were so beautiful, I was a nympho at that time.
