The great surprise of "New Shaolin Temple" established my admiration for Chen Musheng!

In the past, I was always rushing to the end, but "New Shaolin Temple" finally got a new one. Going to the movies just because I had time has become a must-have item for my leisure time. I looked through the titles of the movies that were being released, but I really couldn't find them. What a good-looking American blockbuster, so I chose this play, which is said to have a scene of burning 20 million Shaolin Temple. I really didn't expect much, but "New Shaolin Temple" really gave me a great surprise. When I was about to leave, the filming staff list appeared again, only to find out that it was directed by Chen Musheng, and suddenly remembered that I liked "Keep Talking" and "Baby Project" all directed by him, and the ideological and artistic conception revealed in "New Shaolin Temple" It allowed me to establish the adoration of Director Chen Musheng. In the future, Director Chen of the national film will be a golden sign I am looking for when watching movies.
I said this a lot, because I didn’t want to spoil it, and I wanted to say that I really thought it looked good, so I said a lot. Although this film has been talking about Zen, the scene really makes people feel heavy. My literary level is not high, and I will reveal spoilers later. Those who are going to watch it, be careful!

I don't know how to write it, but I still summed up three points I like:

1. The theme is very healthy! National humiliation, family hatred, internal and external troubles, warlords fighting, foreigners benefiting, this drama clearly reflects the historical background of Chinese civil strife, foreigners killing Chinese people by Chinese hands, and robbing Chinese treasures. , I also found that the couples watching the movie together stopped giggling and immersed in the subtle atmosphere. This should be regarded as a good education. The impact of such films on society is quite positive, and more should be made!

2. Except for the foreigners who rob the national treasure, the biggest villain is alive. This is a departure from the old model of previous movies. In the past, even if the good people died, the bad people should be dragged to die together. This time, except for the monk who didn't know kung fu and a few young monks who cooked rice, the good monks were basically dead. When the foreigners used cannons to kill China's good and bad people, the bad people actually survived. When he was standing among piles of corpses and rubble covered in blood, the silence should be due to enlightenment, and the pain should be due to repentance. Cranes and clams compete, the fishermen gain, the Chinese should not harm the Chinese! Keep the biggest villain alive and make this movie more realistic and more realistic than the idealized old model of evil and evil! At the same time, it also re-examines the mistakes they made in that period of history through the eyes of the bad guys, and the crimes are numerous!

3. The monk finally took the initiative to kill! In the movies and TV shows about Shaolin I watched in the past, good monks didn’t take the initiative to kill people. I remember that in a fairly old Shaolin movie, the bad guy wanted to set fire to the abbot, and the abbot asked him to burn. Later, to protect the Shaolin temple, the monks just picked it up. Sticks, basically do not take the initiative to kill people. But "New Shaolin Temple" finally showed me that in order to save people, a good monk can also be a thief, in order not to protect the dignity of Shaolin, a good monk can kill people, for the fleeing people and the stolen national treasures, okay Monks will also take the initiative to kill! That's right! I hate to see some old historical photos in which the Japanese devils want to chop off the heads of Chinese people, kneel when they want to kneel, and stretch their necks when they want to stretch their necks. There is no resistance at all. Sometimes I think that, anyway, it is a death, and it is better to resist a little than a geese to be silent. If you are lucky enough to kill one enemy, you will get it, and if you are lucky enough to kill two, you will make a profit. Kneeling there honestly, do you think you can influence others? Silly B! This movie made me see that the monks finally picked up the sword. This is also a manifestation of the improvement of ideological awareness, and it is a kind of progress that should be affirmed! Chairman Mao said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun! The monks don’t want political power. In that cruel melee, if you don’t take up arms and just seek peace, it won’t last long. What’s more, the Lord Buddha is compassionate and wants to save all sentient beings, at least he must first have the ability to protect all sentient beings. what. When the gunshots sounded and the monks fell to the ground, I was thinking, why didn't they steal some guns beforehand! If they had guns and cannons, maybe they wouldn't all be dead!


Finally, let's talk about a little doubt about the movie. Cao Man, that is, Nicholas Tse, how did he collude with the braid killer? The braided soldiers should be the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. The infighting note was obviously arranged by Cao, but the film did not explain how the braid killer was brought together. It should be very difficult to tie up these braids in secret from my eldest brother! However, for a two-hour movie, the story capacity of this film is quite large, so we will not be demanding about it.


There is a plot in the story that takes a long time, that is, the process of using Wu to participate in Zen! But at the same time, I think it is the highlight of Shaolin Wuzong.

PS. Looking at the night from the wild boar hole, the stars are so many and bright!


If it is available on the Internet, I may download and record it. I like the artistic conception of the last snow!

    The story is not bad, the performance of the big names is quite satisfactory, Jackie Chan’s Henan dialect is really a play*^_^* It’s a bit funny, the duel between Wu Jing and Nicholas Tse is quite exciting, and the ending song is very nice!

    The ending is too hurried to reincarnate

Shaolin quotes

  • Abbot: A piece of gold or pile of mud, which is more useful?

    Cook: The gold, of course.

    Abbot: But to a seed? Never underestimate yourself. Everyone has a purpose.

  • Cook: [to Huo Jie] I don't know an of this, all i know is it's worthless to train just the moves without the spirit.
