San siu lam zi (Shaolin) (2011)

Very wise, warm and pleasant film, which is about maturation to change, of inner transformation, about the human relations that need to be repaired, not to break up, the hope and the trust.

I praise this film in every way:
- Historical background
- The selection of actors to roles (including the very expressive Nikolas Tse as Tsao Man and Jacky Wu as crude, just and loyal Chingneng)
- Acting
- Composed music
- Scenography in the smallest details
- Filming: details, close-ups, backgrounds, collective selves, fights
- Light
- Sound implementation
- The attention of the actors of the second plan Xing Yu of Wei-lin Sang and funny dialogue between them

I could long write about this movie, I will only describe two scenes for me the most beautiful.

The first is when Madam Hou (Bingbing Fan) departs from her husband Hou Chieh (already a monk), saying, "You were like this before and that's why I loved you".

Beautiful Bingbing Fan in the role of Madam Hou at the same time hard and delicate (but not fragile like a doll, oh no) and consistent - this consequence is particularly visible at the end of the film, beautiful play scene and beautifully filmed.

The second scene is when Hou Chieh (Andy Lau) practices with the monk junior, and in the background there is a talk between Wudao (Jackie Chan) and abbot (Hai Yu) about what really matters in life - even for this one sentence you need to watch the movie. Fragment of joint exercises filmed in slow motion makes an impression, Andy Lau smile (in this smile I fell in love) melts me

The presence of Jackie Chan gives a cool, little comic sketch to this movie - he plays the role of a cook who doesn't know kung fu, but with the little help of monks-juniors, he becomes a master in 3 seconds ;)

And at the end of the film you can hear the soundtrack by Andy Lau ("Wu" song).
