However interesting he may be, Harry’s quickly dropped in favor of romance for twelve-year-old. And I’m pretty sure he’s shown once or twice in the background of the final tournament. Although his immediate offer of friendship was awfully convenient, he still encouraged Dre to introduce himself to future crush Mei Ying (spelling?) and stands up for him against the bullies–for such early teen years, he’s positively heroic (in fact, I think in many standard plots, he’d be the protagonist). When the family (you know, I don’t actually know their names?) first found the apartment, Harry comes right up to Dre, introduces himself, and tries to make the other boy’s introduction to this new world as smooth as possible. That wasn’t all I questioned in the back of my mind: after the first few minutes, I really missed Harry. (That’s a good thing, unlike my love of excessive punctuation.) But I didn’t really feel I had to question it, I was fully engrossed in the world–my belief near completely suspended. What research? Once or twice I questioned how plausible it would be to ‘master’ kung fu to tournament level, which was never really in question. I haven’t exactly done a lot of reflection in that time–I wanted to write this, but had to turn on the computer to do so, and of course got distracted by Twilight sporks on ImpishIdea–and did no research. When it comes to movies, people are too cynical. I don’t know what the critics and audiences thought, although I imagine it wasn’t very positive (this kind of movie–uplifting, parable-ic) isn’t often well-received. Just about an hour ago, I finished The Karate Kid (2010).
