Movie-The Karate Kid � WHS site: Great Wall of China, China
A young American boy and his mother move to Beijing, China, from Detroit, USA, to begin their lives afresh when his mother is offered a job. In China, Dre (Jayden Smith) has to learn kung-fu from his maintenance man, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), in order to protect himself from bullies and earn their respect. Part of his training takes place on the Great Wall of China that is depicted in a few shots against a picturesque golden sunset with the accompaniment of instrumental music that aptly suits the scene. The site was used mostly for its aesthetics; it lent a sense of spiritualism, history and culture which is attributed to our ultimate understanding of kung-fu � that it is a way of life and not just a martial art. It is also one of the many diverse places where Mr. Han takes Dre to train to expose him to an understanding of the real meaning of kung-fu.
�Kung-fu lives in everything we do, Xiao Dre. It lives in how we put on a jacket, how we take off the jacket. It lives in how we treat people. Everything is kung-fu.� � Mr. Han (Jackie Chan)
