I have been watching a lot of Martial Arts films as of late. Most recently Fists of Legend starring Jet Li. I am usually a huge fan of 70's and 80's films, Jet Li has something earlier pics don't have. That's style. When I say style I don't mean fighting style (Monkey, Tiger, Crane, and my personal fave Iron Frog, LOL) I mean style. The whole choreography and expression is just ummmm ... fantastic.
Li uses a style called Wushu. A early Communist effort to suppress more violent martial arts Wushu was an attempt to bring various schools and disciplines under one umbrella. Part dance, part gymastics, part Sanda (a more aggressive, self defensive style of hand to hand). Wushu really is a culmination of many very old fighting styles brought together to help train a nation. And it is altogether gorgeous.So tonites Salutations are Cantonese. And the tunes provided by The B 52's and Joy Division. For no other reason than, I thought they sounded good together.Enjoy!
