It is because I am a fan of kung fu movies and like traditional martial arts, so before Ip Man, I was resistant to Brother Dan. Although Liang Botao and Nalan Yuanshu made me feel good, I always felt that his eyes were too sharp, and I felt a drum in my heart. I remember that there was a time when the "Fuse" was put on the bus, and I punched and punched to the flesh. So when "Ip Man" was released, I thought it was a similar film, and I didn't watch the preview or go to the theater to support it. If the movie channel didn't do a program explaining the soundtrack of the movie, if I didn't turn to that channel by chance, and if the clip that Ip Man taught Jin Shan to find was not played at that time, it is very likely that this film, this character, and this actor would have been missed by me. . I remember that kung fu films of that period were about innovation, but unfortunately there were few surprises and most disappointments. In the clip, Ye Wen wore a black gown, and every move, every move, and style had the taste of old kung fu films in the past. Gan Lin is not an exaggeration. I immediately found a disc for supplementary lessons, and sure enough, I fell in love at first sight, goodbye to love, and from then on I embarked on the road of no return to watch Dan Ge's action films.
Before watching "Ye Wen", it was hard to think that Brother Dan's eyes would be so soft and his vigor would be reduced to a trace. Even if Ye Wen was angry, it was only Ye Wen's anger, the anger of a gentleman, not the anger of a warrior. Even if he was so angry that he beat ten times, his muscles were broken, and his every move was merciless, there was only grief and anger in his eyes, and there was no trace of hostility. When it came to "Ip Man III", Uncle Wen had passed the year of his destiny (guessed according to the movie picture, not based on historical facts), I think, Brother Dan must have carefully figured out the behavior of this character in this age group, sitting, standing, running. , taking cigarettes, drinking tea, and piling, all of which are in line with the times and the mood of the age. I have seen many interviews with Brother Dan, such a feisty, lively and talkative big boy, his actions, words and deeds are completely different from those of Uncle Ask. Ye guarding the elementary school and going to the shipyard to rescue the children, descending the steps to fight off the gangsters, walking with bamboo poles and running into the hull of the ship, are very similar to the kung fu movies of the Dexing period. If in the first "Ip Man", sometimes you can still find a little bit of Dan's shadow, then in the third part, you can't see Dan at all on Ye Wen.
When I was young, I liked to take a slanted sword and take the Zhang Tianzhi type character as a dream person. After passing by, I realized that Uncle Wen was the one who loved him. My favorite, Ye Wen, was wearing a black gown and standing with his hands behind his back. He was thin, elegant, and calm. Ye Wen's temperament is gentle, he can go along with the situation, he is not domineering and proud of his family background when he is wealthy; He is neither humble nor arrogant to the outside world, and he is forced to fight with his fists in front of him without hesitation. The rich and the noble cannot be promiscuous, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be subdued, only a true gentleman and a hero. In this regard, the quality of the couple is surprisingly consistent, so they can support each other through ups and downs. After so many years, it is a pity that Yongcheng can't accompany him to the end.
Ye Wen is highly skilled in martial arts, but he does not reveal it easily. He only spoils and protects his family members and never moves his fists. When his wife lost his temper, he tried to lose face in public, but he just smiled and persuaded him, never loudly. He had mistakenly remembered the days when he learned to dance with his wife, and secretly screamed that he was in trouble. Is Ye Wen really afraid of his wife? He just loves her deeply, and he is afraid that he is not good enough for his wife, and he is afraid that Yongcheng will be worried and sad, from love to respect, and from love to fear. So even if he was tired and rescued his son, and his wife slapped him in a fit of rage, he would immediately admit that he was wrong.
When my friend and I were crazy, we laughed and said that asking Uncle to hit the wooden pile and Ask Uncle to roll up the sleeves are two classics. The three films all start with the wooden dummy. I always feel that the rhythm is different. As the age increases and the environment changes, Ip Man's mood changes are also reflected in the wooden dummy. Ye Wen grew up in a good family. He practiced martial arts only because of his personal obsession, not a means of making a living. Perhaps because of this, he had no other distractions and was more diligent than others. He seldom exerts his full strength, unless he is extremely angry, and he will learn from others until he gets to the point. If you don't believe me, you can see that in the first part, he was discussing with Master Liao, and at the beginning of the second part, he talked with Huang Liang and a few young people, but he didn't roll up his sleeves. Only when he faced Jinshan, his wife asked his son to tell him to fight well, and then he began to roll up his sleeves calmly.
The "Ip Man" series is not Dan's best movie, but it is his best movie so far, and Ip Man is also his best role so far. If I rank it according to my preferences, the first part of "Ip Man" is my favorite, followed by Q3, and Q2 last. In fact, the third and the first should go hand in hand. The split between the first and second half of the plot is much stronger than that of the third, and the plot change of the third is more logical in comparison, and the occurrence of conflicts is more and more natural. However, I love Ye Wen’s broken fists and trembling hands after 10 dozen in the first part, the dazedness of giving way to Japanese military vehicles on the street, and the confusion of winning the ring and facing the cheering crowd at the end, and that This kind of personal powerlessness under the torrent of the big era, so Wen San can only take second place with a very slight difference.
Some people think that the story of "Ip Man III" is too bland compared to the first two, but I only love him because he is short-sighted, eloquent and smooth. Even in the first two, I like the soothing first half of the daily life rather than the intense and high-pitched ones. the second half. The composition and lighting of the film are very beautiful, and many shots are captured as wallpapers. Needless to say about Uncle Wen's scene, in the scene where Zhang Tianzhi went to fight Master Tian, he pulled the iron door and turned around, the sunlight filtered through the gap between the doors, and shone from behind Zhang Tianzhi, and the dust was flying in the backlight, that light and shadow, that scene, It looks even more beautiful under the 3D effect.
There are many scenes I like in the film, and the conversation between Uncle Wen, Master Tian and Fei Bo is one of them. The light and shadow of that scene were very good, and Uncle Wen, who was illuminated by the setting sun, was young and good-looking. Ask the uncle not too much, there is the time he said the most. "When the situation is the emperor, it is not necessarily noble, and the poor are a common man, but it is not necessarily cheap. (The distinction between the noble and the low lies in the good and the bad.)" Ye Wen He is highly educated, a son of a noble family, a Confucian scholar, and a martial arts expert Master, the contrast between Confucianism and martial arts is finally really reflected in this line. Some people think that this line is too long, and even think that it is Wei Guangzheng, but I don't think so. Asked Uncle he thought so in his heart and did the same in his actions. He said what he thought in his righteous words, and his words and deeds were in harmony, which only made me think he was cute.
Brother Dan's performance in "Ip Man III" is remarkable, especially when he hit the wooden pile for Yongcheng to listen to, he slowly got up, slowly got up, strumming, and suddenly paused and clenched his fist when he turned his back. , that back figure is more heart-wrenching than the figure sitting alone in the hospital corridor.
Kung fu films are inseparable from fighting scenes. The biggest advantage of "Ip Man III" is that the fighting scenes serve the plot, and are no longer fighting for the sake of fighting. The night nursing school scene highlighted the difference in personality between Zhang Tianzhi and Ye Wen, but I was impressed by Uncle Wen's lithe movement. The three main fights, my favorite is to protect the wife in the elevator against Muay Thai. In that fight, the plot, atmosphere, music, scene and action are perfectly combined, in one go. The three-minute duel is also boxing vs. Wing Chun. I feel that the design is more realistic and ingenious than the ring at the end of the second part. Tyson's weight and muscles as French are much stronger than those of Uncle Wen. He is stronger in both punching and resistance to blows. If Uncle Wen wins him, it will be a myth. Ferranchi punched hard, and Uncle Wen was always at a disadvantage. Therefore, the three-minute setting is very good, and it is easy to avoid the heavy, and it is also considered to save face for everyone. The final Wing Chun battle, I don't need to say more, just watch the tidbits to know how exciting it is. Naturally, some people think that the two sides are only discussing instead of life and death, and the ending battle is less suspenseful and less exciting. But I think this is precisely what makes this film different and new. Seeing life and death is a cliché. Seeing the original intention and the theme of the film are consistent. As for Ye Zheng vs Zhang Feng at the beginning, the ending becomes the echo of the two fathers fighting against each other. Needless to say, people with discernment can see it naturally.
What I have to mention is that in the battle between the eight chopping knife and the fist and foot, Yuan Ba Ye used a lot of long shots to dismantle the tricks, which made me feel a sense of happiness in my heart. In today's kung fu movies, long action shots are becoming more and more rare, and action actors who can dismantle and look good in long shots are worthy of our cherishing.
