Where To Watch Karate Kid 5

[Solana Axton]

MEGANPINTO

I sit beside my father and watch his IV drip. Each drop of saline hydrates his veins, his dry cracked skin. Today my father weighs 107 lbs. and is too weak to stand. / I pop an earbud in his ear and keep one in mine. / We listen to love songs.

HALYNA KRUK

hand-picked grains they are, without any defect, / as once we were, poised, full of love // in the face of death, I am saying to you: / love me as if there will never be enough light / for us to find each other in this world // love me as long as we believe / that death turns a blind eye to us.

KATE GASKIN

We were at a long table, candles flickering in the breeze, / outside on the deck that overlooks the bay, which was black / and tinseled where moonlight fell on the wrinkled silk / of reflected stars shivering with the water.

Whenever I watch a movie involving an Asian character set anytime before the 2000s, I get a little worried. It's been a long road for Asian representation in media and entertainment, but sometimes looking into the past can be painful. Beloved movies like Sixteen Candles and Breakfast at Tiffany's leave me with a sour taste in my mouth, not because I couldn't understand Sam's very American girl struggles as a teenager or because I wasn't enchanted by Holly Golightly's eccentricities, but because those movies contained caricatures of people who look like me. They turned Asian faces into the butt of the joke. This was always my fear and why I avoided The Karate Kid. The idea of a wise and experienced Japanese man teaching karate to a white kid from New Jersey was something I instantly thought: Nope, I'll pass on that slice of nostalgia.

I don't think I was being fair, considering I'd never actually seen the movie. But I was tired of feeling angry and a little ashamed when I saw those representations, and I didn't want to be disappointed, yet again.

But, then, I started watching Cobra Kai. Partly because my job is to stay informed about popular shows, but also because I was curious. The series started out in YouTube Red before getting acquired by Netflix, and it had the original cast members from the movies, and seemed to be well-loved by the masses. On top of that, I didn't think I'd be stumbling on any racism or racist sentiments from a series created in 2018. So I started watching it.

And it's fair to say I was immediately charmed by the characters of the series. From Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso to William Zabka's Johnny Lawrence, two characters I was familiar with only through pop culture osmosis, to the new kids on the block like Xolo Mariduea's Miguel Diaz, Tanner Buchanan's Robby Keene, and Mary Mouser's Samantha LaRusso.

The show, thankfully, filled in some gaps in my knowledge when it came to what happened in the movies. But, playing those flashbacks of the movie made me realize that the movie didn't actually seem as bad as I imagined. Mr. Miyagi, played by Pat Morita, did have a strong Japanese accent, but his words were impactful, and he was respected by Daniel, never the character we laughed at. He didn't seem to be the butt of any joke and often stood in as a loving father figure and protector for our protagonist. So after binge-watching the series on Netflix and talking about it at work, I decided to give The Karate Kid a shot.

It was surprising what stood out to me from the perspective of a person who had seen all of Cobra Kai. Scenes With Daniel and Ali (Elisabeth Shue) felt like filler, it was cute but ultimately of no consequence. Meanwhile, the heart of the movie was really about Daniel and Mr. Miyagi. Even Johnny, who plays such a large role in the show, felt like a very small part of the movie.

Seeing Morita play Miyagi, I could see directly how Daniel was both influenced and inspired by him. His lessons went beyond just teaching karate, they were life lessons. Sometimes he was stern and serious, but then he was also warm and caring. He was a man who suffered greatly but still managed to be an honorable and decent man. My fears that Miyagi would fall into the stereotype of a model minority, meek and soft-spoken, were assuaged in the way he not only stands up for himself but also the way he defends Daniel.

The way the movie slowly develops the bond between Miyagi, a man who lost his wife and child, with Daniel, a kid who has no father, is immensely rewarding to watch. Macchio and Morita have great chemistry in their scenes together, with Miyagi slowly transforming from teacher to father figure. As Daniel learns more about Miyagi, finding out one night that Miyagi's wife died in childbirth at the Manzanar internment camp while he was fighting in World War II in Europe, he begins to see his mentor differently.
