When I watched it again, I was equally excited, and there was more than one applause in the cinema. I've watched more than a dozen movies a year, and this is the first time I've come across this.
There are two places where everyone applauds: the first is Ye Wen's one-to-ten pick, and he knocked out ten Japanese samurai in less than three minutes. The mm sitting in front of me even shouted loudly, which startled me... The second One is Ye Wen's confrontation with the ultimate boss. According to the action movie's routine, the final PK is often equal to the strength of the two sides. Even if one side loses, he will stand up repeatedly without dying. Therefore, everyone thought that this would be a long and long-lasting battle, but Ip Wen only took two minutes to push it. And the action is stretched and unrestrained, and there is no regret because of the short time.
I have the habit of making up lessons before I go to the cinema. For this "Ip Man", I found Donnie Yen and Weixin Ye to watch "Slaying the Wolf" and "Fuse". I feel that the martial arts drama is very good-looking, but the literary drama is weaker, and it looks more like a foreshadowing for Donnie Yen to appear and kill the Quartet. After watching "Ip Man", I was surprised that the literary drama has finally made great progress, even surpassing the martial arts drama.
The progress of literary and opera has allowed the great master Ye Wen of a generation to avoid becoming a national hero who is a high-ranking national hero. In the movie, Ip Man also suffers from starvation and goes out to dig coal, just to exchange a sweet potato for his wife and children. Ye Wen also carefully walked past the Japanese soldiers, persuading other martial artists not to fight with the Japanese lightly to save their lives. However, Ye Wen would also make a move, but not once did he risk his life to stand up. Ye Wen's actions are always forced to the point of being unbearable - Master Liao came to challenge, Jinshan challenged him face to face, the Japanese army bullied his family and killed innocent martial artists... So, there was one less Huo Yuanjia and one Chen Zhen on the screen. second. And there is one more Ye Wen with a mortal mind.
Li Zhao, played by Lin Jiadong, is also a footnote to the world in which everyone follows the trend in a desolate time. It is easy to put on the hat of a traitor, but one does not know how bittersweet the common people are in troubled times, just as Li Zhao said. : "I'm just a translator, I'm not a running dog, I also want to eat." Compared with Li Zhao, I hate those two unknown martial artists more. They lost their dignity for a bag of rice, but they can carelessly scold the translator who had protected them. It was a traitor; they watched the resisting Wu Chi Lin was beaten to death like a dog, but they themselves knelt down to the Japanese. They are typical representatives of the numb Chinese people described by Mr. Lu Xun. When Ye Wen won the ring, they also cheered and shouted loudest in the crowd, but they would never fight for Ye Wen.
There is also General Miura played by Hiroyuki Ikeuchi. After watching it, his friends praised him for his handsomeness and elegance. At least it's not like the big eyed sergeant, which makes people hate it. The first time I watched it, I felt the same way, and even thought that his charisma surpassed that of Ip Man, but the second time I saw it was a kind of hypocrisy. Miura is in Ye Wen, in Chinese martial arts, in front of the Chinese people is just a hypocrisy of a winner, he looks down at the Chinese under his knees, just like looking down at a herd of cattle and sheep. He doesn't kill you, not because of his pity, but because he thinks you're too small to be worthy of his action.
It's been a long time since I've seen such an action movie that combines both civil and military skills, and it is much higher than the previous king of kung fu. I heard that Wilson Ye and Donnie Yen are preparing for Ip Man 2. If they can make Ip Man a series like Wong Fei Hung, it will be a good result.
