Ye Luo knows autumn, with a clear conscience

In any case, we still need heroes - even if the world was originally built by the ants.

When the music full of Foshan style of the old martial arts drama sounded, it was like a dream for a moment. This was originally supposed to be the stage for Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt. Exquisite western-style buildings were intertwined, colorful flags were flying, a new martial arts hall was opened, lion dances, dragon dances, and firecrackers rumbled.

Kick the hall, learn from behind closed doors, and end peacefully.

Donnie Yen is still the same Donnie Yen, even if the youth is fleeting, it still reminds me of "Iron Horse Liu", which was so stunning and glamorous at the time. Ip Man is Donnie Yen's one-man show, and even if the other supporting roles are also brilliant, they can't hide that kind of aura that combines toughness and softness at all. Too obvious traces - this belongs to Donnie Yen's Ip Man - not anyone else.

He was forthright, righteous, personable and gentle. Brilliant. Brilliant. I can't think of any other words to describe Ye Wen like this.

Even a grandmaster of a generation can only live a stable and comfortable life. He can practice martial arts, taste tea, and play with flowers and plants. His house is big enough and he has lived for many years. His family may not be rich, but he is rich. His wife is beautiful, intelligent, and his son is well-behaved. Obedient, full of acquaintances in the neighborhood, even if you live in a small Foshan like your ancestors for a lifetime, it is a happy and contented thing to send.

Fall, struggle to survive, and leave the field sadly.

After all, people still need to survive, no matter what the situation is. You will bow your head, compromise, and give in, but there is still a hard thing in your bones that supports you. That kind of thing is called solar terms. Therefore, Wu Chi Lin would rather be beaten to death by Miura than admit defeat to receive the shameful white rice. Li Zhao risked his life to collect the three members of the Ye family and tipped them off.

Liao Jiaquan's headshot for admitting defeat for Baimi, a martial artist who cheated on Jinshan if he couldn't win, and Jinshanzhao who thought he was a hero but turned out to be a bear... You can blame them for being petty Lee, bowed his head to the Japanese in order to let out a bad breath, and informed him. There are also obedient and good people who are slaughtered on the streets.

Sad for its misfortune, anger for its indisputable. Does it stop there?

But in an era of dramatic change like that, you can't predict where you're going next. Even if they know, who can know where they can go? There is still a chance to turn things around in everything you bet, except for your life - would you bet your life on a completely unknowable future? What kind of resistance can you force the little people who have been enslaved for 300 years under the iron shoes of Tartars? The change of dynasties is just a matter of changing the banner. The emperor is still the same emperor, but his surname has changed. The ancestors have taught the loyal ministers at the feet of the emperor for generations. The only way to get ahead is to have a prosperous career. When the Mongols came, everyone lived like this, and when the Jurchens came, they still lived like this, even if the Japanese came - who knows if they will be the next Mongolian or the Jurchen? ——When everyone maintains this idea, do you still have misfortune to be saddened, and do you have any indisputable anger? !

You can't lack blood without anything!

I will cry bitterly, not only because of the tragic past 70 years ago, but also because of the suffering etched into the bone marrow, and I will never be able to let go!

    I don't usually have feelings for this kind of movie, but Donnie Yen's performance is still good, it was really fun to watch him beat the Japanese! !

    Maybe not from Guangzhou, so I can't understand the plot? Anyway, for a long time, I was pondering the meaning of their conversations, but in the end, I found that most of the conversations were meaningless... The emotional scene was so abrupt, and the last "promote the prestige of our country" didn't take the time to talk about it... In terms of fighting dramas , Donnie Yen's way, Sammo Hung's moves are smooth but very smooth, but the strength is gone. Instead, the character of Fan Shaohuang is very hard in every move...

Ip Man quotes

  • Miura: [after witnessing Ip Man single-handedly defeat ten Japanese fighters at once] What's your name?

    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...

    [throws book to the ground and shouts in Japanese]

    Captain Lei Chiu: I'm a Chinese man!
