Action and Reality

Abstract

my project is about how action/comedy films with actors such as Jackie Chan display certain realities among the audience.Real-life altercations of fighting involve the usage of guns and blades, even so altercations that happen in real life tend to involve multiple people attacking one person. Chaos is the ultimate outcome of real-life street altercations, which is demonstrated in Jackie Chan’s films. Furthermore, the film displays how anyone can get taken down, despite skill level. I’m focusing on this particular group of films because violence is taken seriously, and violence is portrayed very accurately. However, these films incorporate a lot of comedic moments to where a person is degraded. Interpersonal conflict can escalate to life-and-death situations. This project having any critical intervention is very noteworthy because this project touches on reality-based situations, including situations that are very common in urban areas.
