What is sad is by today’s judgemental standards people would assume Miyagi is some type of weirdo or predator. Instead of the wise, kind, and sincere person his character was.
Not really, you're just creating an issue out of nothing. Quite sure people back then would of thought it weird too. In fact its shown in the movie by "look old man" and the general awkwardness shown by others in the movie towards the Miyagi-Daniel relationship. Mr Miyagi was the maintenance guy and became a father figure towards Daniel which his mother approved of, especially when she found Daniel coming home with a black eye - in reality what went down was super simple - Kid spending time with old man, mother checked it out and approved. It doesn't matter the year, decade or century a kid spending time with a random old man, somebody is gonna ask what's up? You seriously cannot tell me in any year nobody would bat an eye lid - to not do so I would call bad parenting. I would love to know who you'd let your kids hang around with without permission in the 80s lol.
Your judgemental standard* You are creating an afirmation out of a general idea. Like if every person would think that way... Dude I love wise people, I´m not talking about people who love hearing their own voice, but people who try to help you and you clearly can notice the good intentions and the experience or knowledge they have. I think the difference between a pretentious and a wise people is that the wise one is doing everything out of their reach to help you out and make things simpler, the pretencious one doesn´t even care about your answer or if you get the message at all, they just want to talk. And also! Tbh at the start of the movie we all saw Miyagi as a weirdo haha even Daniel was like what the fuck is wrong with this guy, until he started doing good unselfish actions for other people.
You must have watched Karate Kid on DVD then. When I watched Karate Kid Avatar wasn't around. Heck, when I watched the first 3 the guy who voiced Aang wasn't even born!
yes Mr Miyagi/Pat Morita was and always will be one of the many amazing heros of our times and childhood it's hard to find any heroes like him around today. I found an interview of him on here and I was surprised to hear him speak normal English
What a lovely character, what a lovely actor, as well as for Ralph Macchio. Without this chemistry, Karate Kid does not last five months. They struck gold casting these two, and we have something that lasts forever.
It says a lot whenever in Cobra Kai that when Mr. Miyagi is brought up it's not Daniel talking about his father figure/sensei it's Ralph talking about his friend
Rest in peace Mr miyagi. You were a great friend, teacher, and mentor to Danielson. Taught him to stand up to bullies in a very spiritual way. You were a great inspiration to me growing up. I love all the karate kid movies. God bless you and may you rest in peace. You will never be forgotten. ❤ xx
I missed Pat. The first time I saw him as Arnold on Happy Days and a year later on Sanford and Son. The last time I saw him was in the final season of Family Matters. He did a great job in the Karate Kid movies RIP, Pat. 😢
Same with me and my stepdad. He was a real life WWII vet. He was old enough to be my grandpa. Never had kids of his own. Taught me everything I ever knew. A wise and patient man. Funny. Brave. Always had the right answer. Four months after he died, I was diagnosed with cancer. While I didn't have him with me, he was down here in my heart and I tried to face my illness the way he would have me to. So when I watch Cobra Kai and Daniel has those times when he's in trouble, he always says "I wish Mr. Miyagi was here....I could use his wisdom.". I feel that. May your grandpa rest in peace. Please know that he lives on thru you.
Mr Miyagi, is my favourite character, he acts like a wise sage, guiding Saniel San throughout his martial arts journey, he reaches him the true meaning of karate, not to show off, boast or catapult oneself, to self perpetuate ones greatness, to be triumphant over those you have beaten or to win accolades, rewards, prestige, but to humble oneself, defend oneself or the ones you love, nearest and dearest from persecution or attack, to not feel you have to prove yourself , but to be strong in heart and mind, and at peace with yourself. Mr Miyagi isn't just an instructor on karate , but also an instructor on life, which I feel he passed onto Daniel San, you see a change in his character throughout the Karate Kid Films 1, 2 and 3.
Would you have known this fact, had Tamlyn Tomita not introduced it to Cobra Kai? Many others wouldn't have known it either and Okinawans would have been afraid of using Uchinaguchi around non Okinawans, due to policies by Japanese that actively(and violently) discouraged use of Uchinaguchi. My great grandmother said we were Japanese, because she was raised in Okinawa, after LooChoo kingdom was forcibly dissolved.
@@illogicalmethod my friend is half Japanese so he taught me this a long time ago actually and the difference between Okinawan traditions too in some ways
Rest In Peace Pat Noriyuki Morita ( Aka Mr Miyagi) Thanks for all the memories, You were a legend, You Deserve this Beautiful Tribute to you as you were brill X God Bless You 🙏💔🙏
I wish I had a teacher, a mentor of his wisdom, when I was a kid. But wait, I think I did! Though it wasn't any one person, but rather a couple of influential people in my life. My parents for starters. My grandparents as well! And one or two really good teachers. The kind who can explain things in many different ways, so as to reach you and make you understand, instead of preaching just one way. But to notice, you have got to listen. Now I am in my 40s and a coach myself. I founded a racing academy, helping young and sometimes not so young adults become racing drivers. I also certify racing instructors. But I never stopped listening!
Crazy to think that according to a documentary about Pat Morita, there was an idea of having a karate kid about Miyagi’s last days and Johnny would have been a doctor.
It makes sense now why Mr. Miyagi didn't have a driver's license. He couldn't apply for one as he was wanted by the authorities and couldn't give an alias.
"Water which is too pure hath no fish" all miyagi caught was attitude from his student. #greatestmovieever all of them...every single one. #trulyfunnyinspiringandoriginal
At the time I’m writing this comment apparently Mr Miyagi turned out to have a bad past as revealed in Cobra Kai, but despite all the glazing and meat riding, Mr Miyagi seemed like a kind individual
The world would be a better place if we were all like Mr magic he is simply a super human who is better than slid gold are all the diamond mines other world
It’s a shame that after the tournament some of the cobra Kai guys all didn’t stick around to congratulate Daniel unlike Johnny who presented him with the trophy and said good fight larusso
