| Summary: | The meaning of the notion of martial arts is very extensive. It concerns many phenomena at the plane of
culture, psychology, science of physical culture and other fields. The object of this work is to present the
widely-understood martial arts regarded as the leading motif in many film genres - some representations
were supposed to scare a viewer, some others to entertain. In this interpretation sketch we draw attention
to an important role of a film as a medium that inspires people to undertake some activities, popularizes a
healthy life-style, and remains the source of entertainment and knowledge about the culture of the Far
East. The following films have undergone analysis: Enter the Dragon (1973, directed by B. Lee, R.
Clouse), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2000, directed by A Lee), Shaolin Soccer (2001, directed by S.
Chow) and Beverly Hills Ninja (1997, directed by D. Dugan). |
