Man of Tai Chi (2013) Review by Michel Blouin
Man of Tai Chi. I must say, this movie portrays everything Tai Chiteaches us about ourselves, our inner demons, and how easy it is toloose yourself once you achieve Power. How Control is even moreimportant then simply having great power. After Watching it I mustadmit, IMDb's review by davidvdb2 (Belgium) Signifies that MovieCritics do not know jack when it comes to the Spirit of Martial Artsand its Many uses. I urge you to see this movie, its not the greatest;But it has a valuable lesson that we must all learn while walking uponour own path to becoming a better Person, not just in Body, but inSpirit. Yin & Yang. Inner & Outer Form. Keanu Reeves Did his Homeworkand thus deserves an A+!
Man of Tai Chi (2013) Review by Ron Lester from United States
I didn't really know anything about Man of Tai Chi when I watched it. Iwas in a mood for something; I just didn't know what. I was stunned todiscover Keanu Reeves in the film and even more stunned to learn it washis directorial debut.
I've always liked Keanu Reeves films, because I was almost alwaysentertained. Everyone has a few flubs here and there; so his few areeasily forgiven.
I, myself, am a big fan of foreign films. In many cases, it's becausethe story lines are fresher and morals are deeper.
That being said, if you're looking for an award winning film this isn'tit and it's not meant to be. I was looking to be entertained, in thataspect, Reeves delivered.
I've seen the complaints about the performances, choreography, etc. Asa director he had a full plate, especially for a debut. The languagebarrier alone would have been difficult enough to adapt to.
I'm not going to give any details about the film. I will say that thisis a film you have to have a taste for. I do like the message behindthe film though, which is for you to decide on your own. Everyone cancome to their own conclusion, because we can find different meanings ineverything.
Man of Tai Chi (2013) Review by taifunu from the Earth
It wasn't exactly a surprise, though. To paraphrase a character fromthe movie, I knew he had it in him. But knowing and actually seeing aretwo different things. The movie has an old school feel to it - and yetnot. It builds slowly, maybe too slowly for most people's taste.Slowly, subtly, steadily; like the bass line of a Foo Fighters song.Like a lazy snake that uncoils in the sun. Like Chi in meditation. Itpicks up its pace only after 40 minutes or so. But until then, theaudience is given plenty of details, hints and reference to work with -if so inclined. And when things do start happening, it's beautiful towatch. Yes, it does have a few stiff and/or formulaic moments but giventhe genre and it being a directorial debut, this was inevitable ;)Also, in spite of the genre and the references/homages to othermovies,Reeves' directing style is original.He might have been inspiredby the masters, but he doesn't borrow from any of them. Like Tiger,Reeves created his own style: ironic,realistic, minimalist, sharp,punctual, complex,subtle, multi-layered. Although being promoted as a'kung-fu movie', Man of Tai Chi is much more than that. It's ameditation on many aspects and trappings of today's life. But none ofthem are spelled out in neon letters; it's up to the audience torecognize them. All in all, it's like... a Chinese menu: there'ssomething in it for everyone, but some of the dishes are not everyone'sfavorites...
If there's one thing the movie fan in me wanted more of, it's realinteraction between Reeves' and Karen Mok's characters. I would havewanted to see the sparks fly ;) But the more I think about it, the moreI realize that by not including that element, the team made the rightartistic decision which served the story, not the sheer entertainmentfactor. And that's a bold thing to do.
Well done, Mr.Reeves. very well done. Looking forward to the next one:)
