Member Fang Shih-yu Posted June 4, 2010 Member Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yes, Brother Fang, but we have 2 possible interpretations of your reply: 1. Are you saying the other falkor maybe is not real ? Or 2. That he is a NEVER ENDING STORY.....!!!? Alas, this falkor is all too real, and he is not so much The Neverending Story as he is "a legend in his MIND"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted January 14, 2023 Member Share Posted January 14, 2023 On 4/23/2010 at 6:44 AM, falkor said: What is it about Kung Fu Movies--particularly those of the late 70s/early 80s shapes period--that makes them so fun, enjoyable, exciting, interesting and entertaining? What exactly happens when we watch a Kung Fu film? Can the experience be explained and what makes it so good? Is there anything that is similar to watching a Kung Fu film? How would you explain to somebody who has never seen a Kung Fu film why you find them so good? The action is unpredictable, the directorial/editorial style is experimental, and the simplicity of the plot benefits the main selling point more than any other genre e.g. horror and erotica. Watching a Kung Fu movie makes people want to do Kung Fu more than action/war movies make people want to pick up a gun. Kung Fu movies have given us more Kung Fu students than horror movies have birthed killers. Kung Fu movies show us what the human body can do at its best whereas horror movies show us what the human body can do at its worst. Because Kung Fu movies are more glamorous than boxing movies, people are more likely to live vicariously through the protagonists of the former than the latter. The only thing that beats the vicarious sensation is erotica. At its best, Kung Fu cinema embodies what Mel Gibson said about the triple E rule of filmmaking: entertain, educate and elevate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
