jacket on, jacket off

Second movie post this month. I'm becoming so aware of story constructions now that it may actually be in the way of me enjoying a movie. Karate Kid--the new Jackie Chan movie was ok overall, but there were some really awkward cheesy moments. They completely overdid the ending when all the rival kids bowed down to Jackie Chan.... (I laughed out loud--it was terrible, I think the guy next to me got ticked off), but it was honestly funny. The whole time I was watching the movie, I was also thinking of the zig-zac of tension that my writing instructor talked about--and it is absolutely true and obviously identifiable. Things go well, but not for long and something worse happens until the protagonist overcomes it and is faced with yet another obstacle. And the tension zig-zacs and mounts.

Don't even want to go into the whole cultural stereotype thing. Haha that girl dancing was awkward* Oh yes, and the temple with all the crazy Taoists doing insane things. Now, that's what you'd call "real Kung Fu."
