Kungfu Panda
Wohoo, Kungfu panda is coming already !! We have heard a lot of hype about it. And we have Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu dubbing for the movie.
Released in North America on Jun 6, Kungfu Panda now can be watched on YOUKU.com, without subtitles. See, the bulky panda on the cover is really alive and kicking, right, he knows martial arts (Kungfu).
He is called Po, who loves kungfu and always dreams of being a hero with matchless kungfu. However his father (a goose) wants him to inherit his family noodle business. So one day he earmarked himself as the dragon warrior whose mission is to protect the hometown from the evil Leopard, Tai Lung. Convinced by the master’s master Wu Gui, master Shi fu no longer doubts Po, instead he finds great potentials in him and teachs him Kungfu with bread as treat, which is a great incentive to him. And it turns out that it works ! Now he is among his idols — Tigeress, Viper, Monkey, Crane and Mantis.
With exellent Kungfu, Po then struts his stuff and defeats Tai Lung, making him a real dragon warrior.
Without very complicated plot, the story is quite easy to undersand. Well, a bulky panda becomes a savior, sounds kind of absurd. However it just mirrors the heroism deep down in American.
Panda, Chinese national treasure, now has been on screen as a cartoon image. It reminds me of a photo earlier last year, ” a panda climbing on the empire state building” which was entitled ” American’s fear of China”. Interesting !!
