Film - The Karate Kid Part 3

In this third and final episode we see Daniel being confronted again by a new gang of Karate students, guided secretly by the violent sensei we saw in the first film.
They intimidated Daniel and in the film we see them bullying him and provoking him to fight.



They wanted Daniel to participate in the next old valley tournament.  Daniel didn't want to participate.  However, seeing that he was being tormented and his life being turned upside down, he accepted to subscribe to the tournament.  We see the setting of a new outer conflict.
Daniel told to Miyagi to teach him new Karate moves, Miyagi tried to persuade him not to participate and after a continues verbal quarilie, Daniel left.

An internal conflict of belief and principle starts in Miyagi.  On one hand he loves Daniel and doesn't want to loose him, on the other hand he doesn't want to train him in Karate, since he thinks that Daniel will use it for revenge.

In the meantime the violent sensei referred to an old rich friend to ask him to help.  He asks him to make friends with Daniel and offer to help him.  During this training he made him suffer both externally and internally creating an inner aggressiveness and leading him to a chaotic situation in his life.  This lead Daniel apart from his old friend Miyagi.  Through rigorous training he build in Daniel an aggressive and violent attitude to the point were we see Daniel even physically hurting himself but hiding his physical injuries from Miyagi.

Miyagi saw drastic change in Daniel and started noticing that he was hiding his training injuries.
Finally confronting Daniel and promising that this is not a revenge but a conflict to be settled ones and for all between him and these intimidating and violent people.
Miyagi trained him vigorously inspite of his internal conflicting feelings.
The producer, again as in film one, uses music and scenary as evidence of the conflicts.
During Daniel's training by his violent sensei the music is aggressive and the scenary is dark.

When training the producer puts, Miyagi and Daniel in a peacful natural scenary, with a calming Japanese music in the background, showing an internal peace reached by Daniel and Miyagi
