Recently, the great master Ye Wen has frequently joined the big screen.
The Zhen version of Ip Man is like a national hero. What he bears is the final roar of the bullied Chinese; Ip Man in Wong Kar Wai's lens, Liang version's master undertakes the sustenance of the spirit of martial arts, a realm of martial arts. Only Ip Man can complete the martial arts artistic conception of "all beings" - this is Wong Kar-wai's philosophical thinking about Ip Man or the entire Chinese martial arts culture.
The latest "Ip Man: The Ultimate Battle" is played by Huang Qiusheng. The master he interprets is like a calm and wise man watching Hong Kong, a city that is about to change. The wisdom of Ip Man is hidden in the streets of Hong Kong. Guo Yongchun spread to the hearts of Hong Kong citizens at all levels.
This Ye Wen material film is the most popular in Hong Kong. What we can see is not only a single Ye Wen, but more of the group portraits in Hong Kong that began in the 1930s through him. In the chaotic city, the royal police, the gangsters and the masses of workers are all accepted into the film, and they each intersect to organize the city of Hong Kong.
What did Ye Wen see in the film? ——The life of Hong Kong people is endless! Hong Kong is a diverse and inclusive city. As an outsider, Ip Man has come into contact with a power of acceptance. There is not only the respect and care of his apprentices, but also the mutual sympathy among his peers. This is the power of Hong Kong.
In the film, long shots are used many times to slowly enter the streets of Hong Kong and the home life of citizens. What we see is a slow Hong Kong like a long stream of water. It is like a gurgling old song. Although it is not perfect, it will continue to spread. !

    Slightly plain, more like a documentary, in fact it should be called "The Second Half of Ip Man's Life", and it should be called "The Final Battle" which is a bit cheating. I have a soft spot for Hong Kong in that era, and Ip Man played by Huang Qiusheng is also the best one, it’s worth seeing
