The Karate Kid is a great movie to watch in the summer because it has a strong story and acting skills. The movie also gives you a tour of Beijing, China. Not only are you immersed into a Chinese environment , but the director decided to make some advertisements for China, since this year is the 2010 Expo. In the first first few scenes, we see the state owned airline company, Air China. Air China is not the only airline company in China, but he used Air China to tell people that it is not that bad. Air China has a history of long delays and cancellations.
In July 2006, I was on Air China heading towards JFK. We were about to take off ,but the pilot turned back towards the terminal. It was because the wings of the jet were broken. We were now two to three hours behind schedule. Then it took another five hours to get on another plane. The same thing happened again, but this time the radar was broken. We got off the plane and waited another four hours for the radar to be fixed. Finally, we were twelve hours behind the normal schedule. This has happened frequently before and after my experience, so it shows that Air China is unreliable and unsafe. The Karate Kid exaggerated the speed of Air China's takeoff.
Every country has bullies, but the bullies displayed in the Karate Kid was exaggerated. In China, there are very few bullies like the one seen in the movie because the Chinese students are generally hard working, peaceful, and amicable. The bullies in the movie were influenced by bad teachers.
