    Please, please, PLEASE watch the rest of the trilogy and Cobra Kai! They do a great job of building on the characters and story. Part 2 is excellent, Part 3 is really rough around the edges but still needs to be seen as it provides some context for Cobra Kai, which is IMO the greatest "reboot-sequel" ever made.

    Something often missed is that his wife was in an internment camp while he was fighting. His own country literally imprisoned his pregnant wife and the lack of proper medical care there contributed to her and the baby's deaths.
    The Japanese internment was rarely discussed in America at the time so to have this character have such a personal and tragic experience of it was pretty shocking for people at the time.

    In real life, Pat Morita (Mr. Myagi), Ralph Macchio (Danny), and William Zabka (Johnny) did not know any Karate. They were all taught their moves for the fight scenes, but had no extensive training. Martin Kove (Kreese) who played the teacher of the Cobra Kai school was a trained martial artist, and helped coordinate the fight scenes.

    I saw that a few others have mentioned Miyagi's MoH award and his other infantry-related awards, but I'm not sure if you caught this nuance. The scene where Miyagi is wrecked on the drunk juice also subtly tells you that his pregnant wife was interred at Manzanar, which tells you SO MUCH about his character. Even though his country's government locked up his wife for no other reason aside from just being of Japanese heritage (along with approximately 120k other Japanese-Americans), he still joined the military to defend it, and did so to the utmost of his ability. I love the choice to show, not tell, that part of his story, and not be ham-fisted about it. It's a beautiful filmmaking choice that makes a hard statement and doubles the impact of it by not devaluing by being preachy with it.

    An added layer to Danny's training is, since it was learned by physical labor, him setting the improvement of Miyagi's house is a direct reflection of Daniel's growth and serves as a reminder of how far he's come. It's one of the reasons Miyagi gave Danny the car he worked hard to clean and wax.

    I was 13 when this movie came out and we went and saw it twice. Both times, with that final kick, the theatre just roared with an incredible surge of energy. Everybody was halfway out of their seats cheering and laughing and clapping. It's been many years and I have seen thousands of movies since then but never experienced anything quite like that communal rush.

    I also love the obvious parallel between both teachers being ex-military, but Mr. Miyagi walked away from that life as a peaceful man despite the dirty hand he was dealt for his heroism, while John Kreese revels in his past glory and treats everything like a fight that must be won even if it's through dirty means.

    Daniel LaRusso is kinda the villain too. He picks a fight with Johnny, in an argument that wasn't his (Johnny -was- handling it poorlty), in which Johnny doesn't strike, instead dodge/tripping TWO blind charges and then finally fighting back. when Daniel commits to attacking. Daniel then gorilla pounds another for a legal, if unnecessary leg scissor in soccer. At least a month goes by after the hill push after visiting Cobra Kai, and Daniel re-starts the feud at the Halloween dance. Then when Miyagi gets the truce he proceeds to use it to pick on Johnny at school. Much of Daniel's problems wouldn't have happened if he hadn't picked fights or perpetuated them

    Karate Kid is a masterpiece that blends action, comedy and drama in perfect balance. The tragic scene of Daniel visiting Miyagi as he is mourning the death of his wife and child in the Japanese interment Camps is what won Pat Morita that part as well an Academy Award nomination (very epic for a stand up comic). Even now his iconic Miyagi character is still seen as the ultimate mentor and greatest teacher.

Seeing it through your eyes really made me appreciate the performances and certain moments more. I'd be very interested in see you react to the other Karate Kid movies (maybe some Cobra Kai if you enjoy the movies?) to see if your opinion holds, as consensus suggests there are diminishing returns to the sequels as they go on (an assessment I personally find only occasionally true) but my family has a soft spot for this movie, and as a kid called Daniel who did karate of course I got called Daniel-san a bunch.

      My grandparents, along with some other members of my family were put into an internment camp at Manzanar.

Unfortunately, it really wasn't about what you were doing, just what you were, your race, that was automatically equated with being a potential threat.

    The drunk scene with Mr. Miyagi was filmed but the film company didn’t want that scene in the movie. The writer and director fought to have it in the movie because it is a good story of Mr.Miyagia. They listened and kept it for the film

  • @Mercwithamouth101

    Mr. Miyagi's character was part of the 442nd Infantry Regiment, they were an infantry unit made up of Japanese-Americans. When the war first broke out Japanese Americans were initially categorized as 4C (enemy alien) and therefore not subject to the draft. The US Government also intern Japanese-Americans in interment camps out of racist fear of saboteurs. But as the war dragged on there was a need for manpower so they created the unit to fight on the European Front. The majority of the unit was made up of volunteers from the Internment camps. The unit's motto was "Go for Broke", because for them they weren't just fighting for country but to prove that they and their families were just as American as anyone else. The 442nd Regiment would go onto be the most decorated unit in U.S. military history.
    To add to the context of the movie Mr. Miyagi's wife and daughter died in the interment camp while he was fighting in the war.

    • @dougearnest7590
      @dougearnest7590 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was either out or racism, or out of fear of saboteurs, or perhaps some of each -- it wasn't out of racist fear of saboteurs. While FDR clearly saw no need to comply with various laws during his presidency, the fact of the matter was that Japanese-Americans who did not consider themselves loyal citizens of the USA were helping with the Japanese war effort. Some were passing on information on the status of military units. A small battle you probably never heard of was fought on one of the Hawaiian islands (right after the attack on Pearl Harbor) between ethnic Polynesians and their ethnic Japanese neighbors. One side took the downed pilot prisoner, while the other was trying to help him escape and return to his unit.
      So, not saying it was right - just that there was more to the story than most people know - and it wasn't just because of racism on the government's part.
      The more truly ironic thing about Mrs Miyagi's internment was that if she was from Okinawa, the Okinawans were not considered Japanese, and the Japanese looked down on her even more than the Americans did. They were very racist at the time.

    It was so neat to see a reaction from someone who hadn't seen the movie before. Just wanted to throw in that my favorite referee, the tough guy who told the Cobra-Kai bullies to "get out" and leave Daniel alone before the tournament, actually choreographed the karate for the movie. A black-belt himself in the Korean Tang Soo Do-style of karate, Grandmaster Pat E Johnson, unbeknownst to most people, was for many years a close colleague of Chuck Norris. He was the captain of Norris's competition team.

    The late John G. Avidsen (Oscar-winner for Rocky, 1976) directed the first 3 films of the franchise.
    I was 4 years old when this was released.
    One of the greatest cinematic experiences i ever had, the story hit home for so many of us kids, learning to be brave and having the right guidance to do so.
    This movie got me into classical karate to study and later on other martial arts.
    I knew of Pat Morita as an actor and comedian (Happy Days, Sanford & Son).
    Such a great performance as Mr. Miyagi and him being nominated for an Oscar was so cool.
    Karate Kid was actually the name of an DC character from the Teen Titans.
    So the rights to the name had to be acquired in order to use it as the movie's name.

    Never does that go away.
    Gotta love it.

    The show also makes Johnny a much more sympathetic character and despite being rough around the edges, he manages to be a real hero. The journey both Johnny and Daniel go through in the show and seeing their relationship go from bitter rivals to the best of friends is nothing short of amazing!
