How to evaluate the movie "Martial Arts"?

The film "Wushu" is an anti-tradition, anti-routine and anti-Wushu film, which adopts different ways. If you want to experience the martial arts world outside Tsui Hark's Jianghu, you can give it a try. But be careful not to expect too much, which may make you doubt the previous martial arts worldview. As expected, Chen Kexin did not shoot a popular martial arts film or a simple visual spectacle martial arts film. Chen Kexin is good at grasping the delicacy of characters' hearts and the darkness and conspiracy in people's hearts.

Martial Arts is not a Jianghu film of Jin Yong's style, nor is it a spectacle film of Zhang Yimou's style. This is a costume movie mixed with kung fu action, which projects the characters in the real world. We used to be addicted to classic martial arts movies, such as "Eight Dragons" or "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but plastic surgery movies like this can't show Chen Kexin's world view of martial arts. So he deviated and told a very modern story with a martial arts film.

First of all, judging from the plot, the first half and the second half are obviously out of touch. The detective shooting method in the first half is a novelty that has never been seen in the martial arts world, and the audience has already had an appetite. However, in the second half, it suddenly became a family-style gangster film. When the family sat at the table, all the contradictions were solved. What affects the strength of the other side is not the level of martial arts, but the intimacy with other family members. This is unacceptable to the audience influenced by Tsui Hark and Jin Yong's martial arts concepts. I suggest that you can selectively watch the first half of the movie and just skip the second half. There is really nothing to see.

Secondly, in terms of cast and performance, Martial Arts is a martial arts film that can't be missed, with rich performance levels. In the past history, on the one hand, martial arts films represented high attraction, on the other hand, it also showed that the performances in them could be ignored. We are more concerned about the development of the plot and the gorgeous fighting scenes, but Chen Kexin gave us another choice. In the movie "Martial Arts", we can see that all the actors are trying to blend into the role and bring us wonderful performances, which is unprecedented in the original martial arts film.

Martial Arts is released on 20 1 1. At that time, Donnie Yen was in full swing, and Tang Wei had just been released, which attracted great attention. Takeshi Kaneshiro, an actor with both strength and face value, also makes this film highly anticipated. In addition, it is worth noting that the villain in the film is played by Wang Yu, a martial arts elder, and Kara Wai, an actor, joins in, which makes the "martial arts" look like Starlight Glimmer and shows its "strength".

As we expected, Wushu won many honors and was favored by many film festival judges. For example, Wang Yu was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the Golden Horse Award and Tang Wei was nominated for Best Actress in the Academy Award. However, the reputation of "Martial Arts" is not satisfactory, because Chen Kexin's drastic and unconventional reform of the film made the audience unacceptable and incomprehensible for a while.

I think the movie "Martial Arts" is very thoughtful, not a popcorn movie of pure fighting. The film discusses the meaning of martial arts, the meaning of family and the true meaning of martial arts, which is suitable for thoughtful audiences. If you just want to see a refreshing martial arts movie, I suggest you choose another movie.
