Fragmented thoughts on Ip Man

Ip Man is one of the few movies that I look forward to watching and I am satisfied with. It is generally heard that after watching a good movie in the past, there will always be dissatisfaction in one way or another. Ye Wen was satisfied from beginning to end. happy. I still reminisce when I get home. There are really few movies like this recently. Write down your random thoughts as usual.



1. A calm movie, without the "holding" feeling of recent movies. That's what a real movie needs. I can't even remember who the director is. . . Unlike recent films, the director's name must be marked with fanfare before the opening. A KaiGe Film. Tell the story peacefully with a low profile and put yourself behind the story, okay? Don't always want to jump out and shout, I'm Chen Kaige! I am Chen Kaige! I want to be a mortal! I want to be a mortal!



2. I liked the beginning. In front of the elegant mint green camera, a subtitle introduces the background, and then there are a few pure people, not many, not many, not flamboyant, not thin. Makes people feel comfortable. The beginning of the small discussion is neither sudden nor fancy, and it explains the characters of several protagonists just right, and it is even a little funny. Ye Wen's weight-lifting tricks are over, and the low-key master looks for the first time.



3. Donnie Yen is really old. I didn't feel it at all when I watched Happy Camp two days ago. Maybe the lens of the movie is too expressive, and the screen is too big. The wrinkled smile on his face made people feel that the title "young master" was a bit awkward. . . I've never seen him smile so ugly before. . . But still handsome!



4. The Ye family mansion really likes it! From the very first appearance, it was the scene of the Ye family mansion. So delicate and so beautiful. Under the light green lens, it looks more elegant and restrained luxury. Extremely Beautiful! There is also a beautiful large yard. I really like it. sweat. I just checked where this house is, and found that it was built for the movie. . . Will it remain in the future?



5. The characters are really pure, and each character feels clean and safe in the world, clean, and no one feels like they are "acting". I think a lot of people look the same ||||||| There are not many characters in the show, and they are not messy, and the clues are clear. Each character has their own characteristics, and everyone plays them well. Especially those clean faces at the beginning make people want to smile.



6. name. Everyone's names are strange, interesting, and novel. Is it a nickname or did southerners think differently when they came up with their names? Starting from the protagonist Ye Wen, Ye Wen, this name is so nice! Ye Zhun, it sounds good too. It sounds so good. Jinshan finds, Wu Chilin, and Shadanyuan. It's fun, I checked it, the last two MS are nicknames, and the Cantonese means "daring" in Cantonese.



7. Music is nice. The music and kung fu fit the nature, and both the briskness and the drum beats are very good at coaxing the atmosphere, but they are not too heavy. Sitting in a movie theater is to be able to appreciate the details quietly and attentively. This is the reason why DVDs can never be compared to movie theaters.



8. Beautiful kung fu. This kung fu is closer to real kung fu, without the spear. The delicacy of Wing Chun, and the four or two strokes of a thousand jins seem to be really enjoyable. I saw a film review saying that Ye Wen's kung fu was considered a constant existence, and the opening was invincible. But it did not deliberately publicize this kind of power. From the beginning, I knew it was from a kung fu movie, but I was pleasantly surprised that the movie was not just a kung fu movie. And it's not as intractable and powerful as the final boss in ordinary kung fu movies. The protagonist has to be half-dead and then the small universe erupts to win the plot. I like. My favorite episode of martial arts turned out to be in an unimportant place, without Ye Wen: it was the first episode that Jinshan brought to smash the pavilion. The frame is opened, the music is played, and the camera is used beautifully. The name Wing Chun is nice, and I especially like the bright image: Wing Chun, Ip Man.



9. humor. Too many funny jokes, easy and surprising. Master Liao went to the competition and ended up eating like a wolf at his house, Wu Chi Lin pulled his brother's pants, "Master is not at home!" He rode back slowly (like a cartoon), saying "I will pay" every move and sentence. After winning, the family ran to the street to sweep around. Ip Man's "Mrs. Wife" was engraved on the wooden stake, and the child played Wing Chun. The stance was beaten, the workers in the cotton factory learned martial arts and learned from each other at work, and the fat woman threw it up after she was in a hurry. Interesting, in my opinion more interesting than Zhou Xingchi. It is said that Zhou taught him. .



10. The shots are relatively flat, the sets are exquisite, and there are not many scenes, but they are all beautiful. Light tone with heavy and ancient charm, I like it. Needless to say, the Ye family mansion, the signboards of those shops are dazzling and exquisite. I gave a large close-up and slowly crossed it. There is also a shot drawn from the iron art of the gate of Ye Zhai. The setting of the venue for the competition with the Japanese was carefully and carefully used. The noise is high, but it feels more oppressive and heavy, and the large grained almost black-and-white scenes are like historical fragments drawn with charcoal. The close-up of the top light of Sanpu, the flickering eyelashes under the light, the bald head and the big double eyelids, are very beautiful. I liked him the most in GTO.



11. During this period, I discussed the outlook on life with O. O understood Li Zhao's approach and thought that without him Ye Wen would have died long ago. Saying that temporary resistance is useless, it is better to save your life and do more things. It is true that Li here is not a useless traitor, and even depicts the process of his slow transformation, and the image is very full. There is a family of young and old living in danger, and there is a good human nature that tries to protect Ip Man. But in this world, after all, there is a saying that "it's better to be broken than jade", and there is also a Zen machine that "leave the green hills, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood". Although the biggest impression of watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that I have to live regardless of everything in order to make a difference, but I am afraid that when faced with such a moment, I am the kind of hard-hearted. It is very likely that it is the same as Wu Chi Lin. This doesn't matter right or wrong, it's just who chooses who's life.



12. I deeply felt the pain of the country breaking the mountains and rivers and hating other birds. Although Ye Wen won a game, but luckily the ending did not uplift such a victory. In the face of the grand era, even if the kung fu is as invincible as Ye Wen, what can it be? In the end, he also chose to flee to Hong Kong for the sole purpose of protecting his wife and children. In fact, Ye Wen didn't want to take on the historical responsibility of saving the country and turning the tide of the times. Just like the Ye family mansion that was mentioned in that line was occupied by the Japanese as the headquarters, there was no resistance in Ye Wen at all. He just slowly built a fire, exchanged his savings for small bags of rice (less than I thought), gave up boxing for fear of hunger, lived in a dilapidated home with his family, and went to dig coal for half a sweet potato. But that dignity in the face of trampling is enough for me to respect. The iron fists behind the iron bars slowly erupted in pairs of ten, and the ten bags of rice left behind, the white rice that refused to eat, "I'm just an ordinary Chinese", "put away your hypocrisy". The meaning of life gave me a headache again. "Life is about doing meaningful things, and meaningful things are living well."

History keeps repeating itself. I just hope that this world will be stable and last longer. May there be less pain in the world.



13. The Ye Wen family is enviable. Ye's wife appeared willful when she appeared, she didn't laugh at the guests, lost her temper in front of many people, and was rude and ignorant. But when she saw her sternly shouting "Shut up!", An Ran accepted the poor life, and desperately wanted to go back to watch the last battle of her life that her husband might fight, she slowly fell in love with this woman. She is proud of her husband after all.



14. I like the feeling of sitting in the theater. Always get me thinking. I thought slowly, thinking about a lot of things. I want to do a lot of things myself. And absentmindedly missing certain people and things. Perhaps what is needed is such a quiet, dedicated place to do one thing.



15. When I came out and saw IP MAN, I didn't understand why it was translated into such a name. . . When I got home, I found out that it was Cantonese Pinyin. I'm so stupid, I just came back from Hong Kong, and I don't even have the comprehension. But I always feel that they did it on purpose and wrote it directly as YIP MAN. Would anyone still not understand it? It seems that the Hong Kong version is not the same as the mainland version, and some people say that the Cantonese version is more felt, and some regret not watching it in Hong Kong. Can you download the Cantonese version in two days?



16. Does a movie have to have a big scene? Does a movie have to be suspenseful? Do movies necessarily need American heroes? Does the movie have to burn all the money on the bright scenes?

I like this movie. It's sincere.

    This script is completely written according to the drama, especially the final monologue of Ye Wen, which can be directly put on the stage without changing a word. The advantage is that the characters are set up very successfully; the theme of family and country, fighting and not fighting is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    "It's different from criticizing or praising a movie alone, because you have to face the comparative judgment of things, you can see your true point of view and the value of criticism. Online comments also no longer have the confrontation between the folk and the right to speak in the past. Its value is questioned." With Mei Lanfang, Ip Man can be considered a good movie

    Ip Man: I'm just a Chinese man.

  • Ip Man: [hits Lei] Traitor!

    Captain Lei Chiu: Why am I a traitor? Their deaths have got nothing to do with me. I'm just an interpreter. I need to scrape a living too!

    Ip Man: Scrape a living? You watch your countrymen get beaten to death. Where's your dignity?

    [walks away]

    Captain Lei Chiu: I don't have any. You do. You have lots of it. If you have the guts, go beat them! Beat as many as you can! I'm an interpreter, not a traitor...
