发帖数: 791 | 1 This is a definitely weird film to watch. My brain keep saying that during,
and after. I went into this film without seeing (or remember seeing) the
original. So the plot line is muddy especially in the first half of the film
. This has to be the weakest point for me to enjoy the film.
Treat it like a pass-time, though, it has something entertaining, namely,
the abrupt, drive-by style introduction to Chinese Kong Fu culture.
Everything was thrown in there without much reference, except for some very
plainly put dialog: Everything in life is Kong Fu! One has the choice of
standing up after getting knocked to the ground! No fear no matter win or
loss! And there's also the finger-drawing of the Chinese character, Qi; and
there's mind-control of a cobra.
If ones' brain is not dead to plot lines and dialog and whatever the hell a
film is also be doing besides imagery, this film could be a headache; but I
find the imagery alone has the ability to redeem itself. The scenery for the
Taoist mountain pilgrimage, the beauty of the body in kong fu: in movements
or stilled.. These, and the fact that the story does show that Kong Fu is
not merely a skill, but something to be lived out, and thus taken as an
expression of how one wishes to live a life. These two points make me feel
that I have taken away something at the end of it, beyond simple enjoyment.
Also worthy of mentioning is that Jaden Smith has not wasted all the
purposeful spotlight that has shone on him throughout the film; and that I
was shocked to see Jackie Chan playing exceedingly competent as a supporting
character, whose main purpose is to make someone else (a kid, even) shine
in a Kong Fu film. I looked at his purposely toned down character and felt
absolutely weird and illogically warmed by the muteness he wore. Being a
Chinese is something good, I guess, if you're a Christian of Buddhist, and
believe those who suffer exploitation quietly will some day be comforted in
the afterlife. | L*******i

换了哪个男人有他那样的名气，都会乱搞的，只有搞不到的男人才会去骂他不检点，虽

不太尊重
