Since I studied in China and learned some Chinese, I decided to watch this film. This is my first time seeing an animated movie based on a realistic theme, and I found it incredibly captivating. I was eager to see how the protagonist would achieve the impossible, and the result left me absolutely stunned. The film features kung fu in a competitive arena and beautifully integrates the traditional Chinese art of lion dance, conveying a deeply inspiring and uplifting message. I must say, the fusion of traditional culture with martial arts is executed brilliantly!
Visually, I can hardly imagine how the lighting and rendering achieved such breathtaking beauty. In many scenes, I could truly feel the dedication and craftsmanship of the creators. The cinematography and transitions were also remarkably well done, leaving a strong impression on me.
As for the action sequences, the emotional buildup was spot-on, and the pacing was impeccable! During intense moments, I found myself sweating with excitement, and during emotional scenes, I couldn't hold back my tears.
The music was another highlight. The use of traditional Chinese percussion instruments was simply mesmerizing-I had never heard this kind of Chinese-style music before, and it was a truly eye-opening experience. The way the music intertwined with the narrative felt so natural, enhancing the storytelling to perfection.
Lastly, in terms of creativity, the character design really stood out to me. It was bold and unique-realistic body proportions combined with stylized facial features, an unexpected but seamless blend. It was a refreshing departure from the traditional Disney aesthetic, which I have grown tired of. This film was a feast for the senses, an experience beyond my expectations!
