Abstract

The essence of martial arts in movies is the combination of reality and illusion. On one hand, the nature of movies is to turn the unreal into reality, even if it is something imaginary, it should be presented on the screen in a “realistic” form to give the audience a sense of reality. On the other hand, movies create illusions and blur the line between truth and falsehood, so the distinction between reality and illusion is relative. Therefore, we can understand that the essence of “kung fu” in martial arts films is a combination of the virtual and the real, traditional culture and modern technology. Its development and changes also constantly progress and evolve with the development of film technology, genre standards, and contemporary trends. Director King HU incorporates the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting into his films, creating a harmonious blend of elegance, etherealness, and classical romance.
