Ip Man, the master of Wing Chun and Bruce Lee's master, has a high status in the Chinese martial arts world. In the eyes of ordinary people, it should be prudent and wise, full of masters.
Unexpectedly, the combination of the two is quite successful. It turns out that Donnie Yen can also be such a teacher.
Ye Wen, the young master of a wealthy family in Foshan, lives in a big mansion, with deep winding paths, elegant atmosphere, never worrying about money, a typical rich man. There is no playful style, but he is gentle and elegant, with a humble and polite attitude, a low-key and humble personality, and a little "respect" for his wife. The closed-door discussions at the beginning and getting along with the neighbors all show that this is a good person who is elegant and humble. I love to practice martial arts, and sometimes I neglect my family, but it's not a big problem. Even if Jinshan came to him, he would only impose a slight punishment but not ruthlessly. The Japanese invaded, Foshan became a dead city, and Ye Wen, whose home was occupied, did not have any skills. Break the habit of disobedience in the cotton factory and help the workers fight against the robbers. Seeing that a former acquaintance was beaten to death, he shot in anger. In the end, he was forced to duel with the Japanese generals. There was no bloody battle, and there was no turning defeat into victory. He easily defeated the Japanese and fled Foshan after being shot.
In fact, it is a biopic, which is a little exaggerated, but it should be realistic, after all, Ye Wen's family is a consultant. Wing Chun's style of play is like being ridiculed. It is a woman's boxing. The frequency of punching is fast, and the movement range is not large. It really looks like a woman acting like a spoiled child, but it is a good boxing method to win.
Donnie Yen has a long robe and a jacket, and most of them have a calm expression. In fact, he is quite capable of acting. The action design is wonderful, a rare masterpiece.
