From childhood to adulthood, I always thought that Jackie Chan would never grow old and would always fight so bravely...
Every holiday must see Jackie Chan, it seems to have become a law. However, many of Uncle Long's films before were mostly action comedies, all marked with very eye-catching Jackie Chan movies, and compared with them, Jackie Chan's new work "British Showdown" released in this year's National Day file is obviously very different.
First of all, this is a rare film starring Jackie Chan, but it cannot be classified as "Jackie Chan movie".
"British Showdown" tells the story of the daughter of Kwan Yuk Ming (Jackie Chan), a small restaurant owner in Chinatown, England (played by Jackie Chan), who was unfortunately killed in a terrorist attack, and the inaction of the relevant British departments made him even more sad and indignant. In order to get justice for his daughter, he refused the retention of Lin Baoyi (Liu Tao) and embarked on the road of revenge to the terrorist organization with tit-for-tat and blood for blood...
▲ In this drama, it can be seen that Uncle Long is really old
A bit heartache
Xiaobian went to see this movie with friends, and friends were a little confused about watching it. Also, for people who do not understand those things in the UK and Ireland, it is indeed a bit difficult to see this, according to the questions of friends, Xiaobian summarized a few points, hoping to help everyone watch the movie.
1. The island of Ireland is divided into Ireland and Northern Ireland, with Ireland being an independent country and Northern Ireland belonging to the United Kingdom.
▲ Purple is The United Kingdom, red Northern Ireland, gray is Ireland
2. Why the island of Ireland was separated: Because of the British invasion in 1169, and then under pressure, on April 18, 1949, the British recognized the independence of Ireland, but refused to return the northern 6 counties (Northern Ireland).
▲ Daughter of Kwan Yu Ming (Played by Jackie Chan) (played by Leung Pei-shi)
Tragically killed in a terrorist attack
3. Why there are terrorist attacks: There are still independent forces in Northern Ireland, and the extremist terrorist groups in northern Ireland have put pressure on the British government by means of terrorist attacks.
▲ Irish Republican Army
4. What is the UVF mentioned repeatedly in the movie: the Ulster Volunteer Army. (Equivalent to the Irish Republican Army)
▲ UDI executives in the British showdown
5. What is the UDI mentioned in the film: a legal committee dedicated to Northern Ireland.
▲ Hannes (played by Pierce Brosnan)
6, Brosnan's identity: Brosnan was born into a terrorist organization, and when he was young, he made various explosions, but he was recruited because the British government needed them, the native Irish, to stabilize the situation in Northern Ireland. Brosnan is currently the leader of the UDI Council and serves as a senior official in the British government in Northern Ireland.
I hope it will be helpful for everyone to watch the movie.
