Abstract
This paper examines the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid , directed by Harald Zwart and starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. Unlike the 1984 original, which utilized martial arts as a metaphor for adolescent resilience against localized bullying, the 2010 iteration functions as a transnational cultural product. By relocating the setting from New Jersey and California to Beijing, China, the film transforms a domestic coming-of-age story into a narrative of soft power, cross-cultural exchange, and the globalization of Hollywood franchises. This analysis explores the film's deviation from the source material, its visual representation of China, and the shift in mentorship dynamics between the Mr. Miyagi and Mr. Han characters.
