Karate Kid

Its bad enough moving to a recent metropolis, but when that metropolis is located in China, its almost too much to handle for 12 year overaged Dre Parker. Its not easy being the unseasoned boy in class when you dont eff the language, and its even harder, when the cool boys do Kung Fu to rule over the other pupils at school. Fortunately, Dre meets some refined classmates, including the cute girl (he fancies) Mei Ying. However, it turns out that Cheng, the leader of the Kung Fu gang at his school, also likes May, and is not especially thrilled that Dre and May are becoming friends.Dre has hardly set foot into his new apartment, before Cheng uses his Kung Fu skills to discombobulate Dre a real beating. From this moment on, Cheng is constantly on Dres foul. Dre becomes increasingly unhappy and longs to go back to the United States. But one day, as he is pushed into a corner by Cheng and his friends, he gets unlooked-for help. Mr Han, the caretaker of the apartment building where Dre lives, appears from nowhere and defends Dre with an incredible display of Kung Fu. This becomes the turning point in Dres new life.Mr Han decides to teach Dre the traditional combat sport, giving the boy a chance to win the honour from his classmates. thence begins a long training period that ends up with a final battle between Dre and Chengs gang at the local Kung Fu competition. The Karate Kid is a remake of the classic 1984 film of the same name. The new version is a well-made film that will certainly engage the imagination of both unripened and old. The story is largely the same as the original, however, a number of elements have been renewed, making The Karate Kid anno 2010 soften than most remakes.The films theme focuses largely on the inner struggle of Dre. The young boy must discipline to a country with a foreign language, and a completely different culture and a city where he has almost no friends. When he is exposed to physical abuse, the previously well-adjusted boy becomes kind of distressed. But Dre has great inner strength, and as his friendship with Mr Han develops, he learns more than Kung Fu. Dre understands that he is in quiver of his own fate/future, and it is up to him whether he will give up, or fight to gain the respect he deserves.Such a message is well suited for children and young people, who will hopefully use this knowledge in their own lives. This film will probably promote martial arts to numerous young boys, and hopefully they will understand Mr Hans clear statement that Kung Fu is a sport for perception and defence / an art to be used to create peace, not to hurt and combat an enemy. I retrieve the The Karate Kid has a PG rating, due to several violent scenes involving Kung Fu fighting, the film is not recommended for children under the age of 8 from the online website.
