Karate Kid



The Karate Kid is one of the best children's movie of all time. It is about a 12 year old boy named Dre Parker (Jayden Smith). He moves to Beijing, China because of his mother's (Taraji P Henson) work. He struggles throughout the movie to fit in. He has to adjust to a new culture, language, and land. In the midst of these changes he gets bullied and has a crush. His bully is a close friend to the crush's family. Dre tries not to step on anyones toes but somehow he does. While trying to fit in he tries to fight back. He tries to do that by learning Tai Kwan Doe. He finds a teacher , Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), to teach him more than a 30 minute DVD clip ever could. With Mr.Han's simple minded moves and Dre's attitude they combine to make a new, mini Jackie Chan.
