Mastering the law of gravity
Infact, this reading talks about one of the worlds top action choreographer
named ´´ Yuen Wo Ping´´ . He is really a veteran of more than fifty movies, that
helped catapult action stars , such as Jackie Chan , Sammo Hang , and
Jet Li .
He was born in 1945 in Guangzhan ,China . His family was long involved in Beijing
opera performances . His father , Yen Siu Tin , was an actor and a martial arts instructor.
And four of his brothers have had carrers in the movie industry in Asia .
The first movie Yuen directed was the well regarded ´´snake ´´ in Eagle s shadow 1978.
starring the now leyendary star ´´ Jacki Chan ´´ .
His dazzling aerial choreography called ´´ wire work ´´ , that has brought him worldwide
renown . Yuen , also admired for the quality of the swordsmanship in his films. His
style of ´´ sword fighting ´´ is based in part on the Japanese martial art Kendo .
From my point of view , Yuen is really one of the first person who bigan to introduce
swords fights in movies . And also created the aerial choreography , called
wirework . It gives the ilusion that actors can actually fly .
Most of the people think , that those tricks are all made by computers , but is not like this ,
because according to reading , in the only part that computer takes place is to conceal the wires they use
to fly .
