The intension of Martial Art

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 1999)

Martial art is not only a set of limb motion. Behind it there is an intergrated philosophy, dealing with the relation between human and nature, between mind and body, between the contrast and switchness of positive and negative, hardness and suppleness, exterial strength and internal potential. To be a real Kung Fu master, you have to be a philosopher.
As a Chinese guy, I grow up with Hong Kong Kung Fu movie. Only a few of them reach this depth. So I had suspected any western director can perceive it. I was wrong. 'Matrix' do it, and do it brilliantly, though through a different way.
