FIGHTER IN THE WIND (2004) MARTIAL ARTS FILM
Today I want to recommend a movie that I saw that I thought was very good. Abtain those who detest oriental movies and / or Martial Arts. The film I want to talk to you about tells a true story, about a true character. Unlike many others that focus on a repetitive fight throughout the movie and forget about the plot, this movie has a good plot and a good development - not forgetting the fight - of the events. "Fighter in the Wind" (that's the name of the movie, or did you think I invented the title of the article by divine inspiration?) tells the story of Choi Bae Dal, who is said to have killed a bull with his bare hands , one of the strongest men ever and ever. It takes place in 1938 and progresses for several years while talking about the discrimination of the Japanese towards the Koreans (At that time, Korea was a colony of Japan) and how it is perpetuated after World War II when Korea becomes independent. The story tells us how Choi Bae Dal, a highly discriminated Korean and Karate fighter, is fed up with knowing Martial Arts and always losing to the attacks of xenophobes and some gangsters. Choi Bae Dal receives the book "The Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi (a book that I recommend to anyone who is interested in the Samurai), a samurai who laid the foundations of the samurai philosophy in the 17th century, and leaves for a very hard and near-deadly training to get stronger. His return is shocking for the Japanese media, because Choi Bae Dal, after
reaching the fortress of a rock, marches Dojo after Dojo (a Dojo, pronounced Doyo, is a gym where some Martial Art is practiced) challenging the Masters and defeating one to one, which will make the President of the Martial Arts Organization (Kato) want to challenge him and finish off the Korean who is discrediting the Martial Arts. As the background of the story we find his relationship with a Japanese Geisha (Lady of the Company) whom he had saved from some rapists long ago. The argument is captivating, the special effects are good, the fight lacks words that can describe it, the music is great and it blends with the images reaching -almostperfection. It is a film that I recommend both to lovers of oriental culture and to any self-respecting film buff. The film does not lack great phrases either, of which I prefer two: "I'm afraid to fight. I'm afraid of getting hit and losing. But I'm more afraid of survive as an invalid Than to die in the fight. I hear the howling of the wind. I hear the fear within me." "Justice without power is useless, it is empty, but power without justice is just violence." Full movie: http s : / / w w w. youtu b e. c om / watch?v=K7WuwSP9mvU
