Wohoo, Kungfu panda is coming already !! We have heard a lot of hype about it. And we have Jackie Chan （成龙） and Lucy Liu （刘玉玲）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 !! 

Check out those links for the flick.

To be honest I don't like movies of this kind, somehow I finished this movie at the cost of a shut-eye this afternoon.

The HK movie "Goodbye, gangsters" （再见古惑仔）shot in 2007 seemed like a an end to the series of movies " gansters" that was once a hit in 1990s.

There's no doubt that the " gangsters" series has a very negative impact on the growing-ups in China, even Asia. The violence scenes and brutel gangster behavīors, individualism and heroism hightlighted, just encouraged the youth to follow, which in turn encouraged lots of social problems, campus violence, drugs, gamble, even prostitution.

The authority seemed to have realized its hazard and have been doing sth to make things up. "Goodbye, gangsters" is just a part of the action, following the last feature 九龙冰室 star-roled by 郑伊健。

So this time is a show time for 陈小春, to have a transformation of image, from a real gangster to a regreted gangster.

As a public character, an artist has his social responsibility to bring the public more positive entertainments, to help children and youngsters build up right values. What's more, one should do everything he can to make up for what he did wrong, so does an artist.

The movie again left me pondering if it's really so hard for a gangster to morph into a good guy. Yes, it seems that they are not always given chances to make some changes, once a gangster, always a gangster... And it's like their fate that they can never escape that they always end up caught killing someone for revenge, or dying hard...

I don't think it's good. Whatsoever the movie has to show the audience that people are always given chances to correct after the mistakes they made. That means movies as a public voice that has a profound influence on a wide range of audience, it should take its responsibility to teach people the right things.

General speaking, it's not overstated that the movie is still a great success despite the bloody violence scenes going too far.
