Because of the incident of "The whole city is on alert", before I watched the movie, I was not optimistic about the movie "New Shaolin Temple" at all, and I said to my friends: "I guess this movie can achieve what I think it can be. Or more than a 30% chance." But after watching it, I changed my mind. The film was well done, and all aspects showed that Chen Musheng's directing skills were actually very solid. Although the plot was cliché, it was easy to guess the plot. There were no surprises at all, but the plot was still It's reasonable, the story is explained clearly, and the characters in it can play better than their average movies, and they can also reflect a certain Buddhist concept in the movie, I think it's not bad. , I basically have everything I want to watch, isn't this a good movie?
This movie can be said to be a movie that supports the box office of the cinema after "Let the Bullets Fly". It is inevitable that many people will compare this movie with "Let the Bullets Fly". After the dripping, "New Shaolin Temple" appears mediocre. But for many years, domestic directors have been playing tricks on mysteries and unconventional ways. What, a movie that was made with a lot of money, doesn't even know what the story is about, just used the money to make a blockbuster, and then hyped it up, trumpeting how good my movie is, and deceiving the public to watch it. And what is reflected in these blockbusters, is the culture of our country?
The film "New Shaolin Temple" is simple and mediocre, but the story is clearly told, and the Buddhist and Zen thoughts in the family are well expressed. The Buddhist fate and cause and effect at the end actually moved me very much. The last rain washed all the dust away, it's vulgar, but people's stories have really sublimated. I don't expect this movie to be an epic blockbuster that subverts the past. I just went to the cinema to watch the movie. In these two hours, if I can understand a story, I think it's fine; if emotions can be affected, then It is a kind of enjoyment; if one day I see an epic masterpiece made by a real Chinese, I think it is that I have witnessed the development of Chinese cinema, and I should celebrate!
Furthermore, I think that the whole team of the new Shaolin Temple is mainly from Hong Kong people, but everyone in Hong Kong people make movies quite clearly, what kind of cops and gangsters they are, and what kind of urban life movies are more successful. Something like "Once Upon a Time" that distorts historical facts, or some so-called epic rubbish similar to "October Siege". After Hong Kong returned to the mainland, they entered the mainland, and they really realized how big the stage of Chinese culture is, but it is really difficult for them to control the big scene. Although there is also a lack of atmosphere in "New Shaolin Temple", they are making progress. In terms of films made by people, "New Shaolin Temple" is a success. Don't forget that Hong Kong is what we all call a cultural desert. We always think that they are not well-educated in literature and art, and they do not have a good creative concept, but the people in this small land have really made a lot of very good movies.
Of course, I think this movie has many shortcomings, including the lack of actor selection, the cast of Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse are not good enough, Hou Jie's role is not fierce enough, Cao Man's role is too oily, too childish, treacherous and vicious Not enough; Hou Jie and Cao Man didn't have enough grudges to cause rebellion, nor did it show that Cao Man's fear of Hou Jie formed a demon; Hou Jie's family didn't have much influence on Cao Man, if it can give Cao Man It might be better to destroy it again and again, but now it feels unreasonable for Cao Man to lead his troops to attack the Shaolin Temple; Cao Man has great use value for foreigners, and foreigners are not so stupid. Because of such a trivial matter, let Cao Man put a cold arrow behind his back, that is to say , Cao Man and the foreigners should explain that they have deep contradictions; some of the plots are a little cumbersome, and there are more delicate things, so I won't talk about them here. On the whole, although some parts of the plot are not quite passable, the overall is relatively smooth and smooth, but it is still far from the smoothness of chocolate.
It turned out that I only wanted to give this movie 4 stars, but after reading so many bad reviews, I feel that no one has any reason to give such a bad review to this movie, and many people can't justify the reason for giving a low score. So, I gave this movie a 5 out of 5, and I hope more people can watch this movie with a neutral stance. Buddha's fate! Those who don't know how to watch movies are unreasonably scolded birdmen who are unreasonable, and be careful to be saved by the Buddha~~~ Amitabha!
