13 Epic Films: The Karate Kid

Karate Kid is a movie about....yes, about a kid who knows Karate.

Its a story about a 12-year-old Dre Parker, who only learned Kung Fu for a short period of months.

This movie was a remake of the 1984 Karate Kid. Has the same story and ending, but this was way cooler than the original.

This movie is amazing. It portrays action, and a twist of drama. Karate Kid had a very simple plot and if you noticed carefully the dialogues are simple too. You could make out the meaningful virtues and wisdom that this movie is trying to teach.

Kung Fu, don't be confused about its meaning. Kung Fu doesn't actually mean offensive body movements, violence, or just merely fighting. It is made by the early Chinese people for the need of self-defense. Kung Fu is also a way of life. Kung Fu refers to any individual accomplishment or a cultivated skill that is learned through hard work.

This movie is really amazing. I liked the kids doing kung fu, the old and new Chinese scenery, everything was splendid. I was impressed to Dre, on the tournament where he would rise up from being knocked down by his opponent.

I like this movie a lot. It teaches us values that is almost not present anymore in different cultures. It is the value of Kung Fu, about balance, discipline, peace and life. Kung Fu's strength is drawn out from the energy within. This energy is the balance of one's strength and weakness. Kung Fu requires discipline, it is not intended to be used upon violence and self satisfaction, but its use is to protect.
