Believe me, nothing is trivial.
God knows the times I have found myself in absurd situations.
For me, the martial arts is a search for something inside. It's not just a physical discipline.
It's extreme. The character comes back from the dead, and, at first he doesn't know where he is, how he got there.... How does that tie in with the physicality? I just didn't think he should be too healthy-looking, so I lost some weight for the role.
For what level of mediocrity will you settle?
A fight can express things people might not be able to say with words.
