It is a blessing to see a good movie at the right time. Just like the momentary glory of "Shaolin Temple", it was just in time.
Although I didn't watch this movie back then, but today, looking at everyone's comments, I can still feel the craze back then. It is still very good to watch this film now. I am amazed at the vigorous creativity of the filmmakers of the time, the improved and more popular world view, the beautiful and delicate melody picture, the popularization of Shaolin Temple and Shaolin martial arts knowledge, all opened up for the audience. The gate to the new world, and even the martial arts action looks timeless today, and it can be regarded as a boutique.
But the only thing that is dazzling may be the reformed religious values. The master acquiesced to his disciples to kill frogs, and then said in a plausible manner: saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but he didn't think about how the frog's life was counted; killing one After the dog, the monks sit and eat dog meat; the warrior monks kill the enemy like numb, are those people not ordinary people? The tyrannical generals were killed and they only rescued another monarch who was ruled by a man. This is a short-term process in which the whitewashed "justice" can be served. What about after that? I dare not think about it~~
But this is the world that this film shows us. It is simple and beautiful, too beautiful to not want the real world, but it can be presented in front of the audience, just like the favorite song "Shepherd Song" sings: waist Brave and courageous, often practicing martial arts and working hard, ploughing the fields and grazing to fight the jackals, the wind and rain are shoulder-to-shoulder, shoulder-to-shoulder. It was a nostalgic past, an enviable world, pure beauty and responsibility.
