Iron and Silk (1991)

Iron and Silk is a 1990 movie based on the eponymous book by American writer Mark Salzman. It details his journey to China after college to study Chinese wu shu, better known in the west as kung fu, and to teach English. Though not trained as an actor, Salzman starred as himself, as did Pan Qingfu, who claimed no one else could portray him on film. Salzman's experiences occurred in Changsha, Hunan, though the film was shot in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

This movie was awesome for what it was. Gives a really good approximation of Chinese culture, subtle things that I hadn't realized I just took for granted. Anyone planning on visiting China should consider watching this film.

Photography is dull, direction is basic, performances are so so... But for anybody interested in cultural clash and Chinese culture, it's a very sincere and accurate depiction. Even if things slowly evolve.

Monday, June 16, 2014 (1991) Iron And Silk DOCU-DRAMA Adapted from the Mark Salzman book detailing his experiences while he was working in China as an English teacher. What's interesting is the fact that both Mark and the Chinese martial arts teacher he bonds with by the name of Pan Qingfu are also playing themselves. Pan Qingfu has also been in other movies including Jet Lee's first martial arts movie called "The Shaolin Temple" made in 1981. One of the most quassential docu-drama's about the culture of China during that time. And although, the acting is not Oscar worthy, there are many fascinating factions happening throughout. This is probably the mature realistic version of "The Karate Kid". 3 out of 4 stars

Charming, earnest, low-budget story with beautiful scenery.
