    Just to give you a bit of context as an American; the scene with Miyagi mourning the death of his family is extra tragic as they were forced into a Japanese internment camp during World War 2 while Miyagi was fighting Nazis and earning the Medal of Honor, the highest US military commendation, for the nation that just imprisoned them. That was why there was no doctor there to help his wife, they were basically forced into a US run concentration camp for the duration of the war. He risked his life for the nation he had come to love and while he was fighting and killing for that American dream America was busy destroying everything that meant to him. Tragic.

      The movie doesn't say, but Miyagi was almost certainly assigned to the US Army's 442d Regiment Combat Team, an all-Japanese-American infantry unit that fought in Italy against the Nazis. It became, and still remains today, the most decorated unit in the history of the US armed forces. That's what happens when you form a unit of soldiers who feel that they have something to prove

      They weren't concentration camps, even if they were hideous violations of the nisei's rights.
      And America didn't destroy anything, although what the Feds did do was criminally negligent.
      Points for recognizing the MoH. It made Miyagi's situation particularly bittersweet.
      I might point out that Italian Americans & German Americans were also interned.
      True story: the Army couldn't use the nisei in the Pacific theater, so they were all assigned to the ETO. Italy, in fact. Some nisei battalions marched by some recently captured Germans. One of the officers stared slack-jawed at the troops as Japan was officially part of the Axis. An American officer couldn't resist, and asked the astounded German "What, you believe everything Goebbels tells you?" 😆

    • @moonlitegram
      @moonlitegram ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Was going to post this too. I'll add that I think this back story works really well in tying the characters of Mr. Miyagi and Daniel together. The main crux of Daniel's story is that he moves to this new place against his will, winds up getting bullied, and begins to hate his new home and resent moving. So the fact that Mr. Miyagi is someone that came to a new country, and was betrayed by that country, which cost him his family in the process, while he was fighting for that country no less, gives Mr. Myagi every reason in the world to also resent and hate his new home. But Mr. Miyagi doesn't do this and actually seems to have found happiness and peace of mind for the most part. So in this sense, not only through teaching, but through his life in general, he serves as a great role model for Daniel.
      This is one of the aspects I thought the remake missed out on. The remake was decent as far as remakes go, but I don't think the script was as tight as this one. Love Jackie Chan, but while they tried to recreate this aspect of the story in the new one, it didn't have the same kind of meaning for the two characters I don't think.

    “You’re all right” is a phrase that would have been seen as a good compliment. It wasn’t even directed at his ability so much as Johnny gaining a level of respect for Daniel standing up through all of that. The phrase is pretty much Johnny’s way of saying “I’m sorry” and admitting that Daniel is a kid who deserves his respect.
    I would highly recommend you watch the second movie as well. The third is not that great but worth watching if you ever want to watch the Cobra Kai series

  • @ericwalker8636

    One thing more than a few people overlook is when Daniel picks up the medal after Miyagi passes out. That award is the Medal of Honor, the highest decoration anyone in the U.S. armed forces can receive. If you want context, just look up what other Medal of Honor winners did to earn that award. It's sobering, and it is even more so when you recognize Miyagi was fighting against his homeland in World War 2.
    You might also note he won the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and at least two Purple Hearts. (All visible on his uniform along with his rank insignia of Staff Sergeant) The word "hero" doesn't begin to describe this man.

    I grew up in the very neighborhood where this was not only filmed (SoCal), but it's based on a real story, in which a local teenager kept getting beat up, so between school years over one summer, he trained in karate and came back more confident. After a few scuffles, nobody bothered him anymore. His story was featured in a local paper (we're within only fifteen minutes' drive of Hollywood), was seen by an agency, and the rest became history.

He also play in the film “Midway” which is the sister film to “Tora!Tora!Tora!” which is about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Both are five-star films. They were joint productions between American and Japanese studios. You show consider putting both on you list. Tora is the first film. I also the Karate Kid II. It takes place in Okinawa.

I think that scene showed something truly beautiful. A mentor teaches and teaches and teaches, hoping that one day the student can take their next steps without NEEDING the guidance. I think that's why Miyagi looked SO proud at the end.

    Daniel is the new kid in school and he runs into Johnny the bully. Johnny is a Karate student. He is taught the way of the fist. Daniel meets Mr. Miyagi a master of GoJu Ryo (Hard And Soft ). Karate. Daniel learns Karate is used for defense only. When they meet in the tournament, Daniel is victorious. He earns Johnny's respect and admiration. That is better than a trophy. It is a great movie.

    Karate originally translated to Chinese Hand when the characters 唐手 where used. Okinawa used to be a tributary of China and often traded with one another and their Martial arts were shared particularly Fujian White Crane and that eventually spread to Japan and they started using the characters for Empty Hand 空手 in order to seperate the system as their own martial art.

    The Jaden Smith Karate Kid was the third iteration of the Karate Kid... there's also a female Karate Kid movie called "The next Karate Kid".
    But the original is still, by far the best. And the TV series "Cobra Kai" is actually very very good... it's a 35 years later tv show and is lots of fun and well made! But watch the first 3 movies first before even thinking of watching the TV series..which you should do!

    A lot of people miss this fact. Mr. Miyagi has a Congressional Medal of Honor from WW2. Before President Obama, those medals were mostly awarded post-death, to be given the award while still alive is extremely rare. It is the Highest Military Award Medal a soldier can earn and is only given by the President of the United States for extreme acts of Honor and Valor, most of the time it's a choice to sacrifice one's own life to save many or take great injuries in the process. Which makes his story even sadder that his wife and child died in a Japanese internment camp in the United States. This movie came out before the 1988 Act that gave those Japanese-Americans who were forced into those camps reparations for their confinement and many lost their way of life.

    in 1984, we were not children at 16..been drinking since 12 responsibly. I held a full time job, played sports, went to school, fed my younger siblings with both parents working..we were adults at 15-16..something your generation would know nothing about. Comment may seem harsh, but put all that with threat of nuclear war and thats we are that tough. I paid for my own car, gas, insurance because my parents couldnt afford it. And I was happy to do it. I never got things handed to me and never want to. You had to be there in the 80s. We are more resilient than any other generation since the WWII generation..and we earned it.

    25:10 - Absolutely right, he's been low-key teaching him the blocking moves. I understood that watching it when I was young, but I didn't realise until I watched it again later in life that the purpose of making him repeat those motions so many times by sanding the floor, waxing the cars and painting the fence and house was to build up Daniel's "muscle memory" - so he doesn't have to think about making those motions or look anywhere other than directly ahead while he's making them. If you watch Daniel during Miyagi-san's final flurry of punches and kicks, not only is he reacting almost instinctively as he sees what's coming, but he never takes his eyes off Miyagi-san. Of course, doing it for real usually takes a lot longer and requires very intensive practice throughout, but in terms of having a movie demonstrate the required amount of commitment in a limited timeframe, it's done really effectively and cleverly.

    Phenomenal reaction, as always, and ALWAYS so stunning! You're a supermodel! RE: "anticlimactic ending..." This is THE #1 most long-lived series in cinematic history as it spurred not only 3 sequels but one of today's most popular tv shows with the same main characters 34 years later (Cobra Kai). I'm sure ALL your fans are on pins and needles hoping and wishing that you will react to every episode of that Netflix show. The Cultural influence of Karate Kid is unmatched. The 2007 music video for the song "Sweep the Leg" by No More Kings stars William Zabka (who also directed the video) as a caricature of himself and features references to The Karate Kid, including cameo appearances by Zabka's former Karate Kid co-stars. Macchio and Zabka made a guest appearance as themselves in the How I Met Your Mother episode "The Bro Mitzvah". In the episode, Macchio is invited to Barney Stinson's bachelor party, leading to Barney shouting that he hates Macchio and that Johnny was the real hero of The Karate Kid. The success of The Karate Kid spawned three more films, including two direct sequels, starting with The Karate Kid Part II in 1986 which picks up directly where the first film left off, The Karate Kid Part III followed in 1989, And, then, there was a 4th one in 1994 starring Academy Award winner, Hilary Swank. ALL characters (except for Swank) are caught up with in Cobra Kai as it enters its much anticipated final season in a few months. Hopefully, you can catch up by then. The "Karate Kid" version you saw (with Jackie Chan and Will Smith (the Chris Rock attacker)'s son- wasn't even about "Karate," So most people ignore that one since it has nothing to do with the Cobra Kai series. There is even soon to be a Broadway musical adaptation of The Karate Kid. The franchise has now brought together THREE generations. The 1st one you just reacted to was a CLASSIC and one of the most treasured (movies) of all time.

    Man, this movie never fails to get to me. It was a huge part of my childhood in the 80s, I watched it soooo many times. And it still holds up as an adult and countless viewings later. Mr. Miyagi is one of my all time favorite characters; he's just a joy to watch. Pat Morita did an excellent job with that role. This movie just makes me feel good inside.

    The context around is wife and son dying is worse than they say, here. During WW2, America collected up all Japanese-Americans and put them in "housing camps" which were only mildly better than the jewish camps the Germans had at the same time. There was little medical service. Mr. Miyagi volunteered for the Army anyway, so would have been sent to fight in Europe. Which means that an active-service soldier's wife and son died because there was no medical coverage when they needed it. He was from Hawaii at the time, where there was top-notch medical care available. The camps were in rural California, Utah, Arkansas. It wasn't until the 1990s that America finally admitted that the camps were bad, and we officially apologized for them.
    So it's not just a tragedy, it's a betrayal.
    Check out the 2006 movie "Only the Brave" for a look into how the soldiers themselves were treated. If Mr. Miyagi were a part of those units, it's a miracle he survived. They were given the least military support and the most dangerous missions. Their KIA numbers were very far above the norm.

    Alternate ending: instead of getting saved by Myiagi, who was asleep while Daniel was getting his butt kicked, his mom goes the next day to the police. The boys get expelled from school and the Kobra Kai dojo gets closed down. Then, do to lack of competition, Daniel still manages to win the All Valley Karate Championship without Myiagi's help.
