One of the most important collaborations of Ye Zhen's combination. Among the several films that
Weixin Ye and Donnie Yen collaborated on, I liked "Dragon Tiger Gate" the most before. I watched it no less than five or six times, but I didn't stay after watching "Slaying the Wolf" and "Fuse". What impression do you have? After watching it again later, I realized that I had actually seen it. The reason is that the literary drama is too weak. In fact, the literary drama in "Dragon Tiger Gate" is also weak. It is only because of the character modeling. I am very attractive in HC state. "Ip Man" is very different, probably because it is a biopic, the whole film has a strong sense of the times, although there is not enough money to make super spectacular scenes, such as the flood of refugees that often appears in movies of the same theme, Macro shots such as the Holocaust, but with the help of some local scenes and close-ups of characters, it can still achieve an immersive effect. In this play, Donnie Yen has both civil and martial arts. The literary play is very attentive, and the martial arts play is more exciting. He has successfully created the image of a martial arts master. It can be said that the flesh and blood are more fleshy. The actors all go all out, and their creative attitude is unparalleled, which once again made me feel the human touch in Donnie Yen's early works. So far, "Ip Man" should be the best time for Ye Zhen's combination. Success, but it can be said that the most weighty, in other words, it is available.
Kung Fu is flesh and blood Kung Fu
It is no exaggeration to say that all the martial arts in "Ip Man" are worthy of the word "dazzling". Sammo Hung's martial arts design perfectly reflects the characteristics of Wing Chun. There is absolutely no ostentation and showy feeling. It not only pays attention to actual combat, but also pays attention to real kung fu and ruthless fists. It is also fast, graceful, smooth and restrained. , And every scene is just right, and there is no sense of kung fu for kung fu. It can be said to be wonderful and memorable. After watching the movie, I am afraid that wanting to learn Wing Chun is the first reaction of many people, hehe. What is valuable is that each of these martial arts plays has played a role in promoting and setting off the characters. For example, in the first game between Ip Man and Master Liao, the martial arts design tends to be quick and restrained. So far, Ye Wenqian's gentle and unassuming personality is well reflected; in the process of competing with Shandong people in the hall, the martial arts moves began to focus on showing the realm of 'real kung fu', and in the intense competition, Shandong people were also interspersed. After breaking the flowerpot, the scene where Ye Wen was a little helpless and the details of his son riding out on a stroller and calling him to hurry up, made the whole scene relaxed and relaxed. The audience was delighted to watch, and the audience laughed again and again, which was also vivid. It shows that Ye Wen attaches great importance to his wife. And the duel with ten Japanese and Miura officers really showed the fierceness of Wing Chun's fists and kicks, and it was almost a deadly lore. It is a person who has feelings and life, not killing for the sake of killing, and has overcome the common problems of ordinary kung fu Hong Kong films.
Man-made regrets that could have been avoided or made up It is impossible
to say that there are no regrets, but I think these defects should have been made up or avoided.
First of all, the literary drama is still weak, not a hard injury but an internal injury. In all fairness, Donnie Yen's acting skills have always stayed at the level of TV dramas, and he has not made great progress for many years, but as an action star, it seems that he can't have high demands on him, and I have never felt that Jet Li and Jackie Chan's acting skills are so good. , basically on a horizontal line. Playing Ip Man this time, it can be seen that he has already worked very hard. The mistake is that the director should not use a vase actress who is the same as him or even more mediocre than him. The two people have big eyes and small eyes. Pulse, how do you see how to play, if you can find an acting actress to play opposite Zidan, it will not be so dull, I feel that Donnie Yen is more emotional than that woman, but unfortunately the other party just can't respond to the idea , looking at that called an embarrassment.
Second, the indispensable subtitles. Subtitles are used at the beginning, transition and end of the whole film, which is very superfluous. Why use words to explain or even repeat the things that can be expressed by the camera? This kind of treatment makes the originally relatively bland plot even more pale, and it simply forces the audience to jump out of the camera to study history! However, I heard that these subtitles were added when they were released in the mainland, and the Hong Kong version did not have them, which is a bit confusing. : In such a three-stage plot, can the camera be used to explain the past smoothly in the middle? But if that's not a good thing, there might still be some transition shots that were cut out.
Then there are the shots that shouldn't be cut. It is said that the translator played by Lin Jiadong was finally killed by the masses and the scenes where the Shandong native played by Fan Shaohuang was finally killed by the Japanese were all cut out. In order to maintain the glorious image of the Chinese people, the multi-faceted human nature was obliterated, and the theme of the film became the main theme. It's a shame, and these regrets can only be compensated for when the DVD is released.
Unexpected emotion
To be honest, I originally came to see Ye Wen for HC Donnie Yen, and I didn't have any high expectations for literary dramas and plots, let alone touching feelings. But unexpectedly, there are still a few scenes in the film that make my eyes wet. When Wu Chi Lin was beaten to death by the Japanese, he kept his eyes fixed on Miura, and the hatred in his eyes moved me; Lin Jiadong shouted at Ye Wen who was walking away: "I'm a translator! I'm not a traitor! I'm a Chinese. !", I burst into tears, the repression of the little people who are struggling to survive on the edge of the moral bottom line is suffocating; after Ye Wen defeated ten Japanese, he stood there waiting for the gunshot. , those slightly drooping eyes and face, at that moment, the blood swelled up; after Ip Man rushed to the factory and was arrested by the Japanese, he looked up at Miura under the gun, obviously did not understand what he was saying to him, But he knew in his heart that he would definitely die. The confused and determined look on his face made people think that even if he fell to the ground, he was taller than Miura who was standing; and the night he was about to compete, Lin Jiadong told him not to do it tomorrow. When he won Miura, or he would die, he looked at the ground and smiled. At that time, Ye Wen was not simply not afraid of death, but a kind of "I have been preparing to die for so long, I should I have died many times." The smile makes people feel the anger and fearlessness that ordinary people should have when their homes are burned down and their relatives are slaughtered. This is not something that can be defined by a narrow word like "patriotism". The hatred of one nation with another nation is also the minimum self-esteem that a person with emotion and reason should have.
