As a generation that has experienced war and turmoil, the peace between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places after the founding of the People's Republic of China is so precious. However, peace does not equal peace. At the beginning of the film, in Hong Kong, which is also full of waste, for the penniless Master Ye, a bowl of rice has become a luxury. Such a miserable situation, not without a sigh.
Master Yip had many friends with high status and status in his life, including in Hong Kong at this time. However, the character of not asking for help - it may also be the principle of life, so that even in such adversity, when he passed by a friend's mansion, he just recalled the past between them and smiled knowingly.
Perhaps, we would say he was proud.
When his famous apprentice returned to visit the country, the extravagant "meeting ceremony" was obviously inappropriate, let alone for Master Ye, who was impoverished all his life. Facing the returnees, why is he unhappy? However, not asking, not wanting, not eating, not giving away, not speaking, not even watching, so indifferent, not without regret.
Wing Chun was founded by Master Ye. After years of war, it was difficult to teach and almost lost. It is not his own expectation that such an apprentice has carried forward his boxing skills to foreign countries. However, the difference between "famous disciples" and "high disciples" is that the former promotes boxing skills, while the latter is here, inheriting boxing gods.
Perhaps, we would say he was stubborn.
Mother Ye, Master Ye's beautiful and intelligent wife, and Master Ye spent a lot of time together. Master Ye's grief was self-evident, so much so that he collapsed to the ground. So sad, not without pity.
It is an indisputable fact that Master Ye loves Mother Ye deeply. However, how could such a hero be without a confidante? "Outlaws" is one of them. Although Mother Ye left not long ago, even though she is a low-ranking woman, what right do we have to let our flesh and blood be stripped of our emotions and desires?
Perhaps we should be silent.
We worship a hero because he is omnipotent and sacrifices his life for righteousness; we admire a generation of masters because he is supreme and respected. But we should never forget that, as a person, beneath the bright surface, there will be hidden sufferings that no one knows about.
A movie, a life. If you taste it carefully, your impressions are definitely not these.
