少林系列电影对武术文化的诠释与传达

Interpretation and Expression of Wushu Culture in Shaolin Movies

少林主题电影通常以少林武术和侠义精神为基本元素,以“复仇”为引线串联故事的发展,通过“习武”来解决个人、门派及家国恩怨,并融入佛教禅宗的“慈悲为怀、教化度人”思想,用镜头化的语汇和戏剧化的情节,对禅武文化进行大众文本的诠释与转换,最终以“善恶终有报”式的以武止恶,或“放下屠刀、立地成佛”式的自我救赎,或“舍己从人”式的度化他人,作为影片叙事主旨,将武器、武技、武规、武礼、武德进行影像化表达,诠释了中华武术的文化内涵,是具有“禅武合一”特定主题标识的武侠类型片,是少林武术乃至中华武术走向世界的媒介窗口。

Shaolin-themed films usually take Shaolin martial arts and chivalrous spirit as the basic elements,take“revenge”as the thread to pave the way for storytelling,apply“martial arts”to solve personal issues,grudge between factions,families or nations and take into the Buddhist Zen thought of“leniency and indoctrination”,through the camera language and dramatic plot,make interpretation and transformation of Zen and Wushu culture in a textual popularized way,and end up with righteous fight of“what is given is always returned”style,or self-redemption of“put down one’s cleaver and become budda”style,or indoctrination of“sacrifice oneself for the sake of others”style as the main idea of stories,which interprets the cultural connotations of Chinese Wushu,are Wuxia genre movies with the specific theme of“the combination of Zen and Wushu”,and is the a window for Shaolin Wushu and even Chinese Wushu to reach out to the world.
