Kung Fu Hustle

 

👋    Hey, blog!


🎥     This week's film is part of the Hong Kong action cinema category and is titled Kung Fu Hustle. Hong Kong cinema gained popularity fairly quickly. Although Hong Kong is relatively small, the effects of its cinema are grand. This can be seen by how their action cinema is watched by a large population here in America, and by how its entertainment inspired and was replicated by Hollywood cinema


👏    I really enjoyed this film! It was very funny, especially during the scenes where everyone in the crowd appeared to be weak but their looks were actually very deceiving. The lion's roar lady reminded me of Doña Florinda from El Chavo Del Ocho because of her hairstyle and her personality. The fighting scenes were very cool! I also really enjoyed the flashback where we got to see how the mute girl was being defended by the soon-to-be hero. 


🤔    There were many scenes that reminded me of some stuff. The scene in which the musicians used their instrument to defeat the remainder of the original trio members made me feel sad, but it reminded me of the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls- Rainbow Rocks movie since the music was able to blow things apart. Even the lion's roar of the lady reminded me of that movie since her voice was as strong as the sirens' during the battle of the bands. I was impressed by how the ultimate hero was able to recover so fast. I was a bit grossed out by the frog-skill of the villain.


👀    I would most definitely recommend this film! It was very entertaining and knows how to keep your attention!

    Hello! I looked up "My Little Pony: Equestria Girls- Rainbow Rocks" and was not disappointed! I also thought that there was something sort of gross about the frog villain. I wonder why the villain was portrayed that way at the end?

    One of the really great things about this film is that it is a parody that plays homage to so many films and moments in popular culture historyI'm not surprised that you got some of the references that I didnt since you are a fan of so many important pop culture subcultures.

Introduction

👋      Hello, blog! My name is Luisa. I'm a sophomore and I am planning on majoring in film studies. I'm currently in Chicago, Illinois.  ~~~ ❓    Why am I taking this course? Even though I'm not too fond of history because of how it requires me to remember names and dates, I chose to take this course because, in order to fully appreciate the art of film, I would need to know how it grew to become what we know it to be today. I look forward to watching many different films that will work alongside the readings to help us learn about the important milestones of film. I also hope to make connections with people who share my love for films this term! ~~~ 😷     I spent the majority of my time in quarantine napping and binge-watching stuff. I try to stay informed about the things that are going on in the world right now, but I also make sure to escape it a bit to not go crazy.

K-Pop

  👋     Hi, blog~! 🎥     This week we watched a few music videos by some of the most popular figures in the K-pop industry. We watched Psy's "Gangnam Style", BTS's "Boy with Luv", and Blackpink's "Ice Cream". In Korea, there are three main entertainment companies: YG Entertainment, SM Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment. Psy used to be under YG, but he later moved on to create his own label called P Nation. Blackpink is still under YG and BTS is under a different company called BigHit Entertainment. BigHit is a growing company that I predict will officially take over a spot as a 'top-three' very soon due to the popularity of BTS as well as their successful marketing strategies which are used to promote their sensational groups. Psy became a popular figure after the release of "Gangnam Style" which broke a very important YouTube record: the first person to reach 1 billion views. I recall hearing this song being played at alm...
