Which Chinese action movie is the best in your opinion? Why?

I think "The Master" should be one of the better domestic action movies. As an action movie, although the fighting scenes are not so gorgeous, the fascinating thing about this movie is its realism.

As we all know, real martial arts competitions often involve defeating the enemy with one move, and victory or defeat can be won in the blink of an eye. Of course, it won’t look so good when photographed this way. Therefore, in previous action movies, the fighting process was prolonged, and the fighting movements were designed to be more gorgeous but not very powerful.

Although such performance-based martial arts can be eye-opening, it still has a certain negative impact on the inheritance of real martial arts. Quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness are the truth of martial arts, which is vividly reflected in the movie "Master". Seizing a white blade with bare hands, cutting the knife, and grabbing the knife. This series of actions is completed in an instant, often completing a task without the audience reacting. Action, this may be the reason why the box office of this film is not very high.

In terms of shots, due to the hard-core fighting method, if traditional moving shots are used to express speed, the already high-speed fights will become even more unclear. For this reason, most of the scenes in the film are They all use fixed camera positions, and in order to show the audience more clearly, an action is often shot from two angles. In order to further enhance the sense of impact, the crew used a little trick, which is to switch the camera after hitting the flesh with a punch. , after switching, it is a few milliseconds before hitting, so it is like punching twice, which increases the impact. The props in the film are also very sophisticated. Tang knives, Wu hooks, and broadswords can all find their origins in history, and there is no sense of violation.

The props here are also real weapons that have existed. In order to be proficient in using them, the actors have specially trained in the Shaolin Temple for 2 years. They trained while filming, and finally presented a movie with unique realism and knives that penetrate flesh and blood. . Because this movie is not a popcorn movie, it is seriously underestimated by rating websites. Audiences who are interested in real martial arts are worth watching again and again.
