If you're fighting a kid who knows karate… you might as well surrender. You have no chances of winning, even if you fought in the ¨ghetto¨. Everybody knows the movie The Karate Kid, who shouldn't? The Karate Kid was made in 1984, but there was a remake, the one with Jackie Chan in. That movie with Jackie Chan was made in 2010. The Karate Kid (2010) is about a 12-year old kid named Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) , Will Smith’s son, who moved to China and became an outcast. Dre Parker gets bullied by the kids in his school and a man who is a martial-arts master, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) who was also in Rush Hour, helps defend Dre Parker in a really bad chase fight. But then Mr. Han trains Dre Parker how to learn kung fu to hopefully face his bully, Cheng, and win the heart of a pretty classmate, Mei Ying. 

Since this was made in 2010, our audience and ways are more modern than the one in 1984. This action/drama movie is very inspiring and very heartfelt because he's different from the others, skin wise. The Karate Kid was one of the best movies I've seen. Personally to me, it's in my top 10 movies, well that's only because Jackie Chan was in the movie and he carried the movie. This movie was so engaging and has an insightful meaning in it. You should watch this movie and be pleased with it. It's worth watching! Pinkie promise!

The slow journey of learning kung fu and training was a nice way of watching Dre Parker and his mother adapt to China’s way of living and learning the culture. Dre Parker is a hard working underdog who is persistent in what he is doing. He slowly matures, mentally and his body develops fast reflexes when training within three months. And he stays consistent. Mr. Han, who trained him is a very humble man but he is also conflicted and less friendly but to Dre Parker, he is his friend. Mr. Han also shows a father figure to Dre Parker which is heartwarming because even though Mr. Han isn’t the friendliest, he makes an effort to be there and support Dre Parker. 

Karate wasn't really the lesson of the movie but having to control yourself makes the mindset to get back up when life suddenly wants to knock us down. Confronting your bully or bullies will get rid of the fear you have for them. Your results in life are a reflection of how much effort and work you put into, anything worth doing is worth doing properly.
