#miami connection
Here’s most wonderful thing in the world to me, which really uplifts my spirit: Miami Connection, a movie that utterly failed to the despair of everyone involved in making it, was rediscovered.
Sure, there was a lot of ironic hipsters chuckling at the movie’s odd decisions and amateurish foibles (it’s a first time film, and it shows), but there was a sincerity behind it all, not found in, say, fans of Troll 2, where people liked it because it was a sincere, wholesome, and achingly sweet movie.
You can only imagine what it was like to be Grandmaster (and motivational speaker) Y.K. Kim, who wrote off the movie decades ago, only to have it be found again by a new audience who cheered and whooped for the film an entire generation later.
I’ve often aired my distaste and opposition to the entire concept of the Alamo Drafthouse (movies should be for the poor and lower class, not a premium experience for the upper class and wealthy), but they did good when they aired revival shows of this film.
Remember two things:
- It is only through the elimination of violence that we can have world peace.
- Tae Kwon Do is an honorable way of life.
