The third season of "Warrior"
Warrior
The newly launched third season currently has 9.3 points on Douban and 8.4 points on IMDb.
This work, formerly known as "Dragon Warrior", is a TV series project that Bruce Lee spent many years researching, but the relevant information was dusted due to Bruce Lee's sudden death.
Years later, while collecting her father's belongings, her daughter Li Xiangning found a large number of manuscripts about the project. So she cooperated with the production company and sold the filming rights to the show to Cinemax TV.
Cinemax is a "late-night channel" owned by HBO, which focuses on "Yellow Storm", so it is not difficult to imagine how "hot-blooded" this show is produced by them.
The plot is also very simple, that is, constant fighting.
Although the action scenes are not very exciting, they are not bad from the dean's personal point of view, at least not embarrassing.
The starring actors of "Warrior" are played by Andrew Koji and Zheng Qihui and others, which is also the biggest regret of the play itself, obviously it is Bruce Lee's original work, but the starring actor does not have a "pure" Chinese.
The story of "Warrior" is set in the 80s of the 19th century, in San Francisco's Chinatown.
At that time, the Qing government was already in rapid decline, and many people who could not eat came here on cargo ships across the Pacific Ocean in search of survival.
But at that time, Chinatown was more like a "refugee ghetto", suppressed and ostracized by local whites.
And Chinatown is rife with violence, pornography and drugs, and people from China have even the most basic survival aspirations.
Under this difficult situation, Chinese "martial arts master" A Shi came to San Francisco with a group of migrant workers.
As soon as I stepped into this land, I felt the hostility of the locals towards Chinese.
They disliked the smell of Chinese, looked at them as inferior to ants, and knew that they could not speak English, so they cursed them brightly.
And all because they think Chinese are here to grab jobs.
After all, Chinese workers have both skills and hardships, and the price is extremely low, and the price of hiring a local person can hire several Chinese, and this cheap labor is naturally favored by capital.
The boss only cares about making money, where does he care about the life or death of other workers, so more and more locals are unemployed, and the prejudice against Chinese is getting deeper and deeper.
The contradictions between the two sides are difficult to reconcile.
So as soon as he got off the boat, he saw that the white man was bullying his colleagues.
As a warrior with square blood, A Yi is naturally angry.
There was no unnecessary nonsense, and he directly brought down the immigration officials who came to provoke.
This good kung fu also allowed him to be accepted into a large gang in Chinatown and became a thug.
Although the days of being a thug are very hard, their status has jumped.
After changing their outfit, the group is very handsome when they go out on the street.
Soon, Ah Shi proved his value for money with practical actions.
Special ability to fight, contributed a lot of famous fighting scenes.
However, he traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country not to be handsome, but to find his biological sister Xiaojing.
The tiger brother has no dog sister, and by the time he finds Xiao Jing, he has become the boss of the enemy gang.
Speaking of which, Xiao Jing is also very good, her experience is a proper "history of the ascendancy of a big woman", a woman who comes to a foreign country, if she wants to survive, she will generally become a prostitute.
But people not only killed the gang boss who had been committed before, but also successfully connected with the government and sat directly in the position of gang boss.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the constraints of various forces in Chinatown.
The first is the struggle between the two major gangs, that is, Hewei, where Ah Shi is located, and Long Zhi, where Xiao Jing is located, they basically started as drug dealers, and business robberies often occur, often fighting without saying a word, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
So at the end of the first season, they each sent a general to a 1v1 duel, respectively A Shi and Li Yong, and Ah Shi lost...
This loss also lost his morale, and he was abandoned by the gang and reduced to coolies, covered in wounds, struggling to survive.
But after all, he was the protagonist, and later he was called back, this time he riveted his strength, exercised various physical fitness, and also went to boxing, just so that one day he could defeat Li Yong.
The second is the struggle between the locals and the Chinese, they often deliberately bully and suppress Chinese, and in order to protect their compatriots, Ah Shi secretly killed many gangs that killed Chinese.
In addition, there are also the participation of the police, politicians, and the woman in the green building.
Open and dark fighting, many forces gathered together, it is enjoyable to watch...
In the third season, the undercurrent of forces from all sides surged and the contradictions intensified, and the gang where Ah Shan belonged changed owners, less masters and less succession, but this guy really can't do it, has courage and no strategy, will only fight violence with violence, and is really not a clear master.
Xiao Jing, on the other hand, is ambitious and ready to break into the families of officials.
She is brewing a grand plan, and the Long Zhi Gang has also ushered in a new thug, and it is estimated that there will be heavier scenes in the next step.
The third season is currently airing 3 episodes, although there are not many scenes compared to the previous ones, but the characters are richer, perhaps to pave the way for the later plot.
Overall, "Warrior" is a rare high-quality American drama with a Chinese setting as the protagonist, which explores themes of racism, power struggle, and personal growth by telling the story of San Francisco's Chinese community in the late 19th century.
In the play, the male protagonist, as a Chinese fighter, faces the challenges of identity and moral dilemmas.
Through the growth and adventure of the protagonist, the entire drama depicts the audience with a complex social structure of San Francisco, from Chinese gangs to white gangs and "corruption of political F", each character has their own motives and goals.
The relationships between these characters are intricate, and behind them lie stories of power struggle, betrayal and unity.
The humiliation suffered by the first generation of Chinese immigrants was bloodily displayed in front of everyone.
In addition, the martial arts scenes of "Warrior" are also good, every battle is full of coolness, and people's blood is boiling...
The struggle between various gangs, the personal grudge of the male protagonist, coupled with the antagonistic contradictions in the background at that time, all made the play look very burning...
