I thought that "Ip Man" also won by visual impact, who knew that Donnie Yen was uncharacteristically, one-on-one is modest and forbearance, and the group fight is even more down-to-earth and not flashy. Every move and every move is a well-established rule.
Looking back at the Northeast Green Forest played by Fan Shaohuang, I can't tell the rationale for the glove, but the beginning of the fight is full of excitement and blood. Every time he and Ye Wen gestured, I wished strength to overcome agility and skill to overcome reality.
I really can't get enough of this kind of Wing Chun, which is tepid and leverages strength. (Note: The reason why Hollywood has seen too many action movies of happiness and revenge.)
So I had to turn around and enjoy the plot. Originally thought it was very exciting - any film involving high anti-Japanese sentiment, there will always be a similar illusion. Being in the age of the Anti-Japanese War, we hated and fought together - but it is clear that "Ip Man" did not create a high point of Sino-Japanese conflict. Isn't the movie just a climax? This is a failure of the Ninety Minutes story design, but looking at the overwhelming applause on the Internet, I humbly think that my appreciation angle is wrong.
Indignantly, I turned around again and chose characterization. The movie is also a trilogy in the end, and there is always something that catches the eye.
I have never been able to agree with Donnie Yen's acting skills. Perhaps it is really martial arts that overshadows the ever-changing facial expressions. Every time I see his face, I am always amazed that his skin and facial features are much better than other martial arts stars. But it's kind of awkward. A long time ago, I watched his self-directed and acted film "Killing People, Dancing", and I had already "generalized" it. It can only be said that he is a "righteous man", just like he is a gentleman and tall and straight among a group of little kids in Happy Base Camp.
Fan Shaohuang, Kong Wu is powerful, and his feet are windy. It's strange that he has never been popular enough, and even the supporting roles in action films and kung fu films rarely have his share. Maybe it's because the nostrils are too big-although he looks upright and upright, it always feels a little dirty.
Ren Dahua lived up to expectations and still interprets his role very well. But the owner of the cotton factory doesn't have many roles, and there is not much to express. To be honest, I really don't know what the meaning of this supporting role is, and it can't be said to be a vivid inner drama.
Lin Jiadong - a translator who is struggling to survive, but still has a good conscience and patriotism. It's the only character in the film that I like. When Lin Jiadong was a police officer, he was cunning and self-righteous, but he still gave due respect to Ye Wen, a master of Wing Chun from Foshan. When Lin Jiadong was an interpreter, he gave shoes to the Japanese invaders in order to survive. But the national integrity still exists in the bones. To be a fake translator for Ye Wen, to help Ye Wen's family of three find a place to live... It's not easy to think about being beaten up like that.
Everyone has two sides. It is not impossible for justice and servility to coexist, it is just that you are fighting over others and your heart is surging, and others don't know it. Li Zhao, played by Lin Jiadong, nodded and bowed in front of the cruel blood at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, not so much for himself, but for the five mouths of his family.
First Wu Chilin was shot, and then Master Liao's tragic death. Seeing the Chinese people being humiliated, Li Zhao's initial forbearance and flattery mentality also changed. Faced with Ye Wen's questioning, he said, "I'm just a translator, I'm not a lackey." Absolutely! It was Lin Jiadong who enriched the imagination of the "translator" who was struggling.
In the last game, the duel between Ip Man and General Miura, the entire Foshan was proud, but it always lacked the twists and turns of the movie elements. On the contrary, Lin Jiadong's defection caused a chaotic war, which enriched the whole ending and turned into a struggle for the whole Chinese people.
Xiong Dailin. Pure vase. The characters are like that, the actors are like that.
90 minutes, a little surprise. Calm down and said so much, people are really cheap. In any case, we still have to strongly support any film about patriotism. Reasonable, correct morals and values, full of national joyous endings, can always make us all happy.
