7. Wuxia movie review: Dragon (2011) - cohost!
Missing: original | Show results with:original
This was a REALLY weird movie. I'm still processing it. Ok so... a paper-maker with a martial arts past accidentally defends his village from some bandits, which brings attention to him and ends up with a lot of people suffering and fighting. That's a pretty standard martial arts plot, right? Except, the attention comes from this nosy fucking investigator who RUINS THE LIVES OF EVERYONE HE MEETS. Like, no joke, if this fucking cop didn't stick his nose into everyone's business, Donnie Yen wouldn't have had a single problem. The bizarre thing is that the investigator has absolutely no reason to investigate. There's no CRIME. Donnie Yen defended his village and killed two wanted criminals. The magistrate even says "ok, sounds good, case closed." This investigator ASSUMES that is only possible because he's a wanted criminal, something with zero support or evidence. Is it weird that Donnie yen, a paper-maker, killed these two? Yes it is. But it's such a strange leap in logic and has no set-up. It really makes the film have a shaky foundation, since so much time is spent investigating Donnie Yen's past. You as the audience is left going "whyyyyyy is he investigating? What even is there to investigate?" The film is missing a scene where the investigator says to the magistrate "something suspicious is happening, I'm requesting permission to investigate this man" or some obvious piece of evidence earlier on. Normally I wouldn't have this much of a problem with a wuxia movie having...
