Not everything is what it seems, especially in movies, but even more especially in this classic film we did this week: The Karate Kid from 1984. This movie shows how painting a fence, sanding a floor, waxing cars, and painting a house can be turned into the fundamentals for basic martial arts. It shows the loving and inspirational relationship between a fatherless youth and an old Japanese immigrant working as an apartment handyman. This is one of those movies you definitely should see before you die. We love it, and we think you will too.
