THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL-TIME?
Why is The Last Dragon the greatest movie of all-time? For me there are so many reasons it is hard to put into words. One simple reason, to me, involves the way it is packaged or taken at face value. It is packaged as a cheesy motown/kung fu movie; which, hides how deep the movie actually is. It demonstrates why we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, or in other words why we should not stereotype. When you look past the 1985 cheezyness of the movie and give it a chance you see an entertaining mix of sprirituality, family values, friendship, self-respect, discipline, romantic love, vibrant music and off course some good ol'ass kickin'! U need to give this movie a chance; see beyond it's cheezy packaging and see it's true character, just like we need to give people a chance to show their true character, not judge peolpe through their racial, cultural, religious or physical differences. If your gonna dislike somebody dislike them for there character not the physical characteristics that make them different from U. (sorry I went alittle of topic there)
