The whole film describes the story of Ip Man from being a child of a rich family to falling into the market, struggling to make a living, sticking to basic principles despite poverty, and eventually becoming a master of the generation.
Here are just a few episodes that made me think or move:
1. The singer Jenny showed her kindness to her, but Ip Man did not put on a sane look and refused, but gave the necessary care and love. Ended up being with Jenny when she was dying.
2. When confronted with the provocation of the disciples of the Baihe faction, I did not give in blindly. When I thought it would be a matter of swallowing my anger, I resolutely took action and responded with color.
3. He sympathizes with the head of Baihe, played by Zeng Zhiwei, first in literature and then in martial arts, showing everyone's demeanor.
3. One of the apprentices, Chen Sheng, was a police officer. At that time, the police station was dark and corruption and bribery were rampant. Ye Wen did not reprimand severely, but reminded the disciple how to choose his own way. Because he knows that making a living is not easy.
4. To deal with the domineering of the terrestrial dragon, take action when it is time to take action to eliminate harm for the people.
5. Later, Ye Wen's reputation became more and more famous. The children of wealthy families went to apprenticeships, but he was turned away to avoid gossip.
6. Although he did not agree with some of Bruce Lee's actions, he did not reject Lee's request to promote Wing Chun.
7. The couplet at the end of the film review: "The tree of life is a model, and Ben Gu is allowed to move from the branches and leaves; the money is an example, and the inner side should be rounded outside." Containing profound philosophical thoughts, it expresses Ye Wen's principles of dealing with people and things in one sentence: stick to principles but not rigid, know how to be flexible, and be round inside and outside.
In fact, no matter what industry, if you want to become a person, you must have your own set of thinking philosophy. Bruce Lee studied in the United States, majoring in philosophy. He is not only a martial artist but also a philosopher. He integrated his own philosophical thinking into martial arts techniques and created Jeet Kune Do, but later his disciples only learned the surface and did not understand the deep philosophical thinking inside, so there are few famous masters of this sect handed down.
Therefore, the film gives me the feeling that it is not about martial arts, but about the philosophy of thinking through multiple episodes of Ye Wen's second half of his life, which is why Ye Wen has become a master of a generation, and at the same time has created a real, flesh-and-blood character image
