Absolutely beautiful work, the lens is very beautiful, and the atmosphere it creates is also very good. The beautiful city, the beautiful martial arts, the beautiful warriors, the beautiful China, the finely crafted lines and movements have a philosophical flavor, and even some places can only be understood in combination with the historical background.

Wong Kar-wai once again used a gorgeous kung fu film to talk about the truth of living in the world, "If you don't forget it, there will be an echo. If you have a breath, you will light a lamp. If there is a lamp, there will be people..." "People live forever, some people become face, some people become Lizi, it's all due to the times", "All the encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence", "To say that there is no regret in life is a prank... If life has no regrets, how boring it would be", "I choose to stay on my own. The years are over." These truths, together with Wong Kar-wai's previous movie lines, are linked together into a famous line of Wong's golden lines...

The generation of a generation of masters refers to a group of people, the masters of an era, and the results of each master during his lifetime. Among them, the stories of the Gong family account for most of them, from the virgin daughter to be married, to vowing revenge, and finally passing away alone, Zhang Ziyi interprets Gong Er's heart perfectly. It was like walking into a bottomless tunnel, where she struggled and fought for her life, but she still refused to bow her head. So, when she knew that time was running out and said goodbye to Ye Wen, the love of her life, every word and every look in her eyes was heart-wrenching and enchanting.

From now on, there is only the road in front of you, no one behind you, no shore to turn back.

The Grandmaster quotes

  • [last lines]

    Ip Man: They say I spread wing chung throughout the world. I hope that's true. I didn't do it to acquire renown. The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical.

  • Gong Er: This opera of mine, applauded or not, will play on to the end. I asked you here to bring things to a close and say what needs to be said.

    Ip Man: Are you going somewhere?

    Gong Er: We have a saying in the North - a tiger never quits the mountain. We've both been living on foreign soil. I'm so very tired. I want to go home. But I wanted to return this to you first. As for the 64 Hands, I've already forgotten them. I was lucky to meet you in my prime. Sadly, my time is running out. To say there are no regrets in life, is just to fool yourself. How boring it would be without regrets. Mr. Ip, to tell you the truth, I cared about you. I don't mind telling you that. It's not a crime to love. But that's all it can ever be. I never said that to anyone before. Seeing you tonight, I don't know why, it just came out. Let's say we suspend this game of chess between us. Take care.

    Ip Man: In life, as in chess, a move once made stays on the board. What we have is simply fate. Your father once said, never give up the faith. Keep the light burning. I hope that one day I'll see the 64 Hands once more.
