How can I say that Ye Wen in Yili has a Confucian temperament that is not afraid of honor and disgrace, and does not compete with others, while Ye Wen in Erli has become a bit stupid, which made me wonder how such a character could be in the complicated Hong Kong of the last century. society survives. Could it be that the number "two" in the title of Ye Wener is an adjective? If the description of Ip Man's life in several places in the first one helped enhance the realism of his martial arts plot and the sense of immersion in the audience, the second one goes in the opposite direction, and the film is highly abstracted by comics. It makes the already weak storyline extraordinarily highlighted. It makes the whole film more like the Hong Kong version of Jet Li's Huo Yuanjia. In addition, it is basically the same. The plot setting and character setting are really challenging the patience of the audience, but this does not necessarily blame the director. The success of Ye Wenyi is a bit unexpected, and it is a little bit to have a breakthrough performance in a short year. Embarrassing the director, it took 10 years for the executioner's performance to break through himself and the result was that the executioner 2 was like shit. Such a commercialized production environment is the kingly way to quickly grab the beach and earn the box office. Most of the movie audiences are just fine with it. Who cares if your director has a breakthrough.
So we saw the mad dog-like British boxing champion stirring up the audience's high and fragile national self-esteem, as well as Ip Man's final speech like a declaration of human rights. In fact, the people who have the least concept of equality of personality are the Chinese people. Watching Ye Wen teach a group of old Englishmen who first realized the modern democratic system what equality is, I am a bit dumbfounded. Having said that, personally I don't dislike rendering works of nationalism, I dislike poor technique, which makes something that is noble become rather stupid and childish.
Ye Wen's final speech raised a very good topic. The century-old history of humiliation has made the Chinese people particularly sensitive to the concept of equality. The concept of equality here is actually a kind of equality of status rather than equality. Personal or national equality. What does that mean? It's like a child may be the same age as an adult according to our clan system, they can eat at the same table and enjoy the same rights. Generations cannot be chaotic, this is the Chinese concept of equality. Humanity and personality have to give way to status. The biggest ethical problem with this concept of equality is that it confines people to relationships and status, and equality should be used to liberate people. Of course, the concept of equality based on personality is not without problems, and Xu Sanguan's blood-selling story has exposed the drawbacks of this benchmark to a certain extent. But it is also far more advanced than equality based on status.
In general, this film can be bought on pirated discs or downloaded online, that's all.
