Writing for Nanpai Kungfu, Reivew on The 36th Chamber of Shaolin

Produced by the brothers of Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiahui... I have to admit that Liu Jialiang is the most loyal to martial arts itself. He is indeed a martial arts follower. The narrative of the whole film is divided into three parts. The first part is the protagonist and the Qing court. The second part is Shaolin martial arts training, and the third part is revenge down the mountain... Revenge is the theme of the narrative, but it is anticlimactic, because Liu Jialiang's favorite is to promote his Southern Kungfu, so the second part almost occupies most of the space, showing Shaolin Kungfu’s tricks and methods have forgotten the original intention... However, we can also realize that Liu Jialiang understands movies. His composition, especially the use of depth of field, editing and camera positions are all very good to show what he wants to express. Kung fu...This movie has no love for children, but you can still think that the protagonist of Lin, who is chased, killed, wounded and flees, is in danger of castration, and the martial arts inquiries call for his man’s subjectivity, and revenge is established. The position of his subject, although this is a grand theory, can still be applied to Liu Jialiang’s film... Although this film gives people a sense of separation, it can still be called Liu Jialiang’s masterpiece and can be regarded as a masterpiece of Hong Kong kung fu movies. One, at the same time, the movie also confirms the existence of Liu Jiahui. As for whether the anti-Qing Fuming alludes to the rule of the British government, it is difficult to tell, and there is no need to focus too much...
