"New The Shaolin Temple" is not simply new wine in an old bottle. Not only does the host of The Shaolin Temple act as the producer, the whole film refers to the cultural symbols that are unique to The Shaolin Temple. The film has a neat story about hatred and how to resolve it. "Shaolin Heroes" are compassionate and heal the wounded in the warlord's troubled times. Although there is no way to change the world, they at least bring some good hope to the world. There are always many self-sacrificing heroes in the suffering, and their spirit is exactly the same as that of Shaolin. So "New The Shaolin Temple" is actually not a pure kung fu movie, or it is not actually a kung fu movie. It's okay to say that it is a doctrine film, but with Benny Chan, he is trying his best to make this doctrine more commercial and more acceptable. If you watch this movie with the mentality of watching Kung Fu, you will undoubtedly be disappointed; but if you originally imagined it as an entertaining movie, then you will have real gains

The picture of "New The Shaolin Temple" is a gray-blue base, with a thick and simple tone like an ink painting. The film style is also very realistic, and it is easy to bring people into the plot of the film. The plot of the film is not very new. The biggest highlight of the film is that Shaolin Kungfu is invited to the altar. In the film, Shaolin Kungfu is not inevitable, and The Shaolin Temple is not indestructible. The Shaolin spirit is the most precious and powerful. After trampling Shaolin for the first time, Hou Jie triumphantly inscribed the words "No more than that" on Shaolin's plaque. When he truly realized the spirit of Shaolin, he repeatedly wiped off his original inscription with water at night in shame. The little monks stepped on their guns and walked towards the soldiers with their bare hands, which also demonstrated the strong tension of humanity and righteousness. The abbot of Shaolin in the movie looks ordinary, but he is the guard when he finally covers the retreat of the masses, making the enemy's corpses pile up like a mountain, which is also very shocking

"New The Shaolin Temple" emphasizes traditional Chinese concepts such as "rightness", "evil", "Buddha", "dharma" and "monk", which is undoubtedly of great practical significance for contemporary China. Hou Jie represents many Chinese who have lost their nature in the pursuit of material wealth, but after experiencing life’s hardships, one day they will repent, while Cao Man represents those poor people who are obsessed with perseverance and want to go their own way, although they get more than they need. Many, still trampling on all morals and laws for the sake of material desires, one day will get the retribution of fate

China has no shortage of funny commercial films, but it lacks films that touch people's souls like "New The Shaolin Temple"
