Will Smith is a conservative man - very, very conservative - that paternity has been further strengthened in their convictions more traditional Hollywood boosted by through a series of well chosen blockbusters, when it was his turn to choose opted for the family drama in the style Wonderful Life! (1946), betting without shame for a story about overcoming the difficulties, the need to maintain strong family ties and blah, blah, blah ... In Pursuit of Happyness (2006) - a film up and down controlled by Smith and co-starring his son in the role of his son - a drama before, conceived from the need to strengthen moral and interior lifestyle threatened and externally (coincidentally the era made in Bush jr. ) and filmed with style and overemphasize obvious, more like the desktop TV telefilm that of a film. In spite of much prejudice, I admit that Will Smith is well advised and / or knows the audience you are facing, because only in Spain, the film grossed over six million euros. Now it's the turn of the career of his son Jaden, for whom his father has produced a film to suit: from a strictly cinematic point of view, The Karate Kid (2010) is a film argument Manichaean flat delve into the most primal feelings of the spectator, an experience carefully designed to elicit the desired reactions in every situation . A film that aims to move, and this goal makes everything, absolutely everything. Apparently filmed in a modern and standardized Communist China, tells the story of a boy who is in the kung-fu solving all their problems (family, school, emotional, socializing). And further: characters and scenes constructed solely from topical beautiful and evocative of assembly, so predictable escalation of emotion as effectively dosed, simplicity, functional entertainment, visceral emotion ...
The karate kid successfully adapts a eighties will attract more than a clueless retropharyngeal , includes a set Jackie Chan in the role of disillusioned teacher, an argument based on the imaginary teenager capable to engage the youth audience, a bit of overcoming past traumas (strengthening family ties, setting life goals) and, again, blah, blah, blah ... The result: a heap of socialist sentimentality closer to textbook prose fiction to convince only those who - by age or maturity level - believe it is possible to manage in the world on the basis of authenticity and simplicity.
