"Even if you laugh at all the ugliness in the world with a cold eye, you still retain a warm hope. The little people counterattack, full of sadness and joy, few people know the tears, but the original intention has not changed."
This is a short review written by the famous film critic Zhou Qingquan.
In fact, "Kung Fu" was indeed a hit.
Even though it was just the premiere, it was almost rave reviews.
"Although she is narcissistic, grandiose and innocent, she is really good-looking! I like every character!"
"The whole process is full of laughter. Even in the most serious moments, I don't forget to poke your laughter. From the initial disapproval to the final exclamation, this is "Kung Fu" directed by Li Yi!"
"A true grassroots hero movie. No one in the whole movie has a complete name. Whether they are the ordinary people in the Pig Cage Walled City, the tenants, the tenants, the tenants, and the three masters, in fact, they are all like us.
Everyone around us has their own sutras that are difficult to recite. Who didn’t have a kung fu dream like Ah Xing when they were young?”
"The growth of the protagonist A Xing is actually the growth of each of us. When you have experienced pain, setbacks and confusion, what you will never forget is the original intention when you were young. Returning to the true nature, A Xing's two
The stick brings out everyone's original intention, everyone can be A Xing!"
"This is a non-mainstream hero film, but it is also a very real hero film. A hero can be an ordinary person who lends a helping hand to others when they are in trouble, or they can be someone who defeats yourself when you defeat yourself.
In difficult times, you are also your own hero!"
Regarding the film critics of "Kung Fu", people quickly gave their own interpretations as quickly as possible.
Liu Fei came out on top this time.
“First of all, let me state that this interpretation only represents my personal opinion!
Do you really understand "Kung Fu"?
After watching "Kung Fu", I realized that the whole Kung Fu was just a dream or an imagination of the little boy who saved the little girl!
Please pay attention to the people around when the little boy and the little girl hold hands at the end. You can see the guy with shaved head and bare butt seducing the girl next to him, the chartered in-laws walking next to him, the Fire Cloud Evil God directing the traffic...and 4 more
Eye cub......
These are just the imagination of a little boy! He imagines the people around him as peerless masters in his own world!
In fact, the story told in the film is very simple: an old beggar who sells fake books sells fake martial arts secrets to a young man. The young man believes it to be true and uses all his savings to buy a copy of "The Palm of the Tathagata". After practicing it a few times, he naively thinks that it is true.
After practicing martial arts, he encountered a group of older children bullying an aphasic little girl. He tried to do something brave but failed, but was insulted and his self-esteem was hurt. The little girl came to thank him and comfort him. He was so humiliated at that time that he ran away.
Next he went to work in a candy store. During this period, he saw all kinds of people every day, including the "Fire Cloud Evil God" directing traffic at the entrance of the candy store, young people with exposed buttocks, "The Condor Heroes" passing by, and movies
A large number of martial arts masters appeared in the movie. One day, a little girl met him while passing by a candy store, and the two happily walked into the store holding hands. At this time, another child met the old beggar, and another dream cycle began.
Everyone must be wondering, where did most of the content of the film and the protagonist Xing go? This is probably the director's mastery: the protagonist on the surface of the film is Master Xing, but the protagonist behind it is the little boy, and what Master Xing experienced
All kinds of bizarre and absurd adventures are the little boy's dream. It is a dream and a series of complex inner activities. Those martial arts masters are ordinary people that the boy sees and hears around him every day, but the boy fantasizes about them.
I imagine the masters in the world as a concrete embodiment of my mental image.
There are several scenes or details in the film that hint at the above explanation. The most obvious one is the ending where Ah Xing and the girl look at each other in the candy store. At this time, the boy wakes up from his dream and returns to reality. The two hold hands and enter the store. The outside of the camera shows a large
In the scene, you will find "Fire Cloud Evil God" directing traffic in the middle of the highway, young men with exposed buttocks chatting with people by the wall, "Condor Heroes" wearing suits and cheongsams passing by the roadside, and "golden glasses",
Of course, there are other less obvious "masters" who appear in the film. When I watched it for the first time, I didn't find so many. I later discovered it after talking with my wife. Finally, the old beggar appeared, and you will find that he has not aged at all.
It's because boys never grow up.
The more obscure ones are: when the old beggar sold a book to the boy, he once said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" This sentence left a deep imprint on the boy's young mind, so the decent figure in his dream was "God".
The Little Dragon Girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also said this when she was fighting against the "Fire Cloud Evil God". It also echoed Guanyin's words in "Journey to the West": "When you truly understand your master's sacrifice for benevolence..."
;
There is a plot about a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, which has a double meaning. On the surface, it is that Ah Xing is reborn, but the connotation is that it quotes Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. The boy dreamed that he became a strong martial arts star, or Ah Xing dreamed that he returned to the world.
My own golden childhood, a stream of consciousness traveling through time and space, between the director's movie world and his real world, between the current situation of the director's life and his golden childhood. A Xing was pushed by the "Fire Cloud Evil God"
Flying lightly in the air refers to a common dream that people have, that is, dreaming that they are flying.
If you still don’t agree, compare the beggar’s appearance before and after: exactly the same!! Could it be that such an old beggar still has the same hair after twenty years? Is he God? No! The beggar is simply a liar, and Tathagata Palm has never done that.
Yes! High-strength martial arts has never appeared! The little boy just became an apprentice in a candy store after his self-esteem was hurt!
The little boy was successful, but the Tathagata Palm that deceived him welcomed back the beautiful little girl!
Didn’t we all have the same dream when we were children? To become a master—a hero to save the beauties?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the beginning of the film, when the word "Kung Fu" appeared, at first glance, I thought it was a majestic mountain peak, but as the camera rose and expanded, I discovered that it was just carved on the ground.
At this time, a colorful butterfly flew past the word Kung Fu. Obviously, this shows that there are mountains outside the mountains. The colorful butterfly directly alludes to Kung Fu, which actually represents a perspective that is higher than the world. In
At the end of the film, Ah Xing is beaten up to the sky and uses the palm of Tathagata. This is also true. Different levels and angles often have very different perceptions of things, and naturally their abilities are also very different.
It was discovered that the one who was beaten was actually a policeman. The policeman's body flew and smashed the plaque of the crime nemesis. The social implications of this need not be explained. Here, it is easy to overlook a detail, that is, the person who can throw the policeman with such force is absolutely
Extraordinary people, this should be the place where the first junior kung fu master appeared.
After the boss of the Crocodile Gang finished showing off his power, he went out and found that the street was deserted. The Ax Gang appeared and the police station was closed. Only then did he realize that the reason why the Crocodile Gang came to the police station to cause trouble was not because the police dared to mess with them, but because they had colluded with the Ax Gang.
Conspiracy. After the boss of the Crocodile Gang was hacked to death, the scene where the detective counted the money also illustrates this point. There is a foreshadowing here, which is Brother Chen’s two beckoning movements. The first time was to chop the boss of the Crocodile Gang with an axe, and the second time
He wanted a gun to shoot the Crocodile Gang's wife, but when Brother Chen waved for the third time later, he didn't kill anyone, but just asked for a cigarette. Why?
After the Crocodile Gang was wiped out, a Hollywood-style dance showed the Ax Gang's continuous expansion of power. One of the shots showed Brother Chen dancing on the floor!
The pattern on the floor happens to be in the shape of a flower. Flowers symbolize beautiful things. Dancing on it is trampling on beauty. Later, the fire cloud evil god's life-saving hidden weapon was also a golden flower with a poisonous needle inserted in the middle.
The golden flower unfolds exactly like the pattern on the floor, and Brother Chen who is dancing on the pattern at this time is the poisonous needle in the middle of the golden flower. At the end of the film, the poisonous needle is pulled out by Ah Xing, and the intention is once again seen here.
Of course, the golden flower and the poisonous needle can also be understood as the evil that resides in the beauty. Remove the evil in the heart, and what is left is goodness. It also shows that goodness is the foundation, and that in the beginning, human nature is inherently good.
At this point, the opening sequence of Kung Fu is over, and the reflection of this passage on contemporary society is self-evident.
The scene shifts to a seemingly isolated impoverished community - Pig Cage Walled City - Zhulong?. In order, the three "masters" "hidden" in the community appear one after another with their respective special skills.
What is worth mentioning here is the event triggering sequence of the masters in kung fu. Later you will find that the event triggering sequence of these three masters has always been arranged in order according to their kung fu level. The worse the kung fu, the earlier the appearance, the more
If you don't know how to disguise, the sooner you reveal your martial arts skills, the sooner you will be killed.
Those who are interested can observe and see many similar details.
A very interesting thing is that the three masters always thought they were hiding it from everyone, but in the end they discovered that there was a higher master beside them that they had not even noticed. On the surface, the higher masters were the charterer and the charterer.
They obviously knew the true strength of these three people for a long time. Later, after the three men fought against the Ax Gang, the charter woman insisted on driving them away. It was not because she was afraid that they would cause trouble, but because she knew that if the three of them were revealed,
Martial arts will soon lead to fatal disasters. The more advanced the master, the more he understands the truth that there are mountains outside the mountains. The charterer actually wanted to save their lives. The charterer cheated on the lottery and drove away the three people, which also shows that the charterer
My true position.
Why is it said that the charterer and the charterer are superficially masters?
Here we might as well make a bold guess. According to the rule mentioned before, "the worse the kung fu, the earlier the appearance, the sooner the martial arts is revealed, and the sooner he is killed." It is not difficult to see that the three of them are in the arena.
They were just little people who knew some three-legged cat kung fu, but the duo who killed the three of them were superior, and the charterer and the charterer were one level above them.
However, everyone has discovered that during the battle between the community and the Ax Gang, the "ordinary" people in the community were in great danger, but no one was injured or killed. Even A Gui and the three "masters" could not escape death. Could it be that they are all deep-rooted people?
A master of concealment? If you think I am being whimsical, please pay attention to the following two shots about sauce explosion.
Shot one:
Before Ah Xing blackmailed Jiang Bao for the first time, Jiang Bao quickly cut the hair of his fat pig partner. Do you remember those chirping sounds?
It only lasts three seconds, haha, what, exaggeration?
Facts have proved that the exaggerations about human physical abilities in kung fu seem to have deeper meanings. For example, the charterer fell heavily from the third floor to the ground and was unharmed, and the charterer woman ran at the same speed as Ah Xingfei. Later, it was discovered that these were not exaggerations.
Because they are already experts, so what about the three-second haircut?
There are no masters who use swords as weapons in the entire movie. Here we can't help but ask, since it is a movie showing Chinese Kung Fu, how can it not show the skills of swords and swordsmanship? In fact, there really is no such thing. The three-second haircut is so explosive.
What is used?
Just when the second boss of the Ax Gang threatened Jiang Bao, who was about to chop him to death, in a flash of lightning, the second boss was stuffed into an oil drum a few feet away. The strange thing is that no one saw it.
What happened, yes, at that time, Coolie Qiang was standing behind Jiang Bao, and later Coolie Qiang admitted that he did it, but did Coolie Qiang have such ability?
If his speed can be so fast that ordinary people can't see it, he won't be killed so easily later. To be sure, it is definitely not the work of a coolie. In fact, among the masters who appear in the film, I am afraid that only the later Ah Xing and Huo Yun
Only the evil god can barely achieve such speed. So who is it? No matter who it is, he cannot show up because there are still dramas to watch later.
From this point of view, the role of Jiangbao in this film is obviously not just meaningless or purely funny.
I rented a public appearance and "visited" three "masters" in order. Their attitudes towards the three masters were very interesting. Agui - you are so sensible, Brother Sheng - teased and scolded me. The hard work of a coolie is really not worth mentioning. What follows
The fight with the Ax Gang can be seen, and he almost succeeded in being surrounded by everyone.
The attitude of the three masters towards others is also very layered. The stronger they are, the more polite they are to others. When it comes to the coolie, because he has the worst cultivation level, he naturally thinks that he is the only hidden master, so he does not flatter others.
Disguise is the worst. Corresponding to reality, the same principle applies. The more powerful the person, the less showy they are. The weaker the person, the more eager they are to show off.
Jiang burst onto the scene, leading out the tenant, who went downstairs and "visited" the three "masters" in the same order again. Once again, we saw the levels of attitude of the three "masters" towards the tenant.
Of course, which Kung Fu is the strongest in the world?
In my opinion, what the movie wants to express is not Tathagata Palm, Toad Kung Fu, Tai Chi or Lion's Roar. The strongest kung fu in the world is vividly explained in "Kung Fu", that is, A Xing was beaten headless by the evil god of fire cloud.
When he was feeling shameless, he used a wooden stick slightly thicker than a matchstick to strike the Fire Cloud Evil God lightly on the head.
This light blow was not like the previous one where Ah Xing touched the bald head of Fire Cloud Evil God and immediately hid behind Master Guan. This light blow meant that his conscience was still intact and it took great courage to finally choose kindness.
, and after possessing such courage, resisting evil forces, even the strongest ones, is a matter of course. Ah Xing failed to complete his task. Faced with an era where "money is everywhere and women are everywhere", he seized the opportunity to kill one
People have the long-cherished wish to stand up and be liberated, because doing evil also requires skills and professionalism. He is too stupid and too unprofessional, but he begins to make the most powerful skill in the world - kindness return to himself.
