A very special 'martial arts' documentary

Postby jonathan.bluestein on Sat Dec 10, 2016 12:17 pm

The life of a boxer and the consequences of taking a life. I came to watch this thinking it would be a "boxing documentary", and ended up realizing this was in fact a majestic and emotional modern-day Confucian allegory. Highly recommended!! A story and narrative that even Hollywood cannot come up with. It touches very well, without intending to, on both aspects of Wu De and Confucian themes.

I am only 1/4 of the way through the movie (have to wait until later to finish it) but I am really enjoying it!

Thanks for sharing it.

Best,
Greg

Many thanks for sharing this, Jonathan. Good film, quite moving, and I'd say this man is a great example of "wude".
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.
