Let's not talk about playing games, after all, they are all similar routines. The trend of the plot is almost a streamlined copy: receiving challenges from other martial arts sects, fighting five or five waves-torturing a few chickens, trying a small knife-being humiliated by foreigners in Chinese martial arts, and compatriots being beaten to death/beating Injury-come forward to avenge, first get beaten down, and then use willpower to break out and kill. A complete routine, but it does not prevent a wave of allergic people who have been beaten with chicken blood.
Director Ye Weixin also said frankly that more than 80% of the plots of the "Ip Man" series are fictitious. Ip Man himself is said to have never been to the United States, so this is undoubtedly a fictitious experience. Of course, a movie is a creative art, not a documentary film. You don't need to be critical of authenticity, but since it involves real people in history, basic logic and common sense are still necessary.
Take the time when Donnie Yen first came to the United States to meet Wu Yue, the two people played with the rotating glass on the dining table when they didn’t agree with each other, and then they broke a large piece of glass into shards with one hand. I can’t help thinking of the picture of Yen Zidan and Sammo Hung splitting the desktop in Ye Wen 2. To be honest, I laughed when I saw this shot in the cinema. I also want to say that their qigong is so powerful, why don’t they divide the glass in half? In this way, Newton can be resurrected directly from the cemetery. I think that if someone filmed this section at that time and spread the film out, by the way, Bruce Lee, the non-commissioned officer apprentice, would give a copy to the military high-level officers, surely so that foreigners would be shocked, shouting invincible, hope Zhongxing sigh, Chinese Qigong-oh No, it's Kung Fu-awesome! In this case, how can there be so many things behind?
And the Yankees inside are also without common sense. Those karate ghosts, who are not convinced after the game, have to go to the restaurant to provoke a fight, come on, are you all hungry? Can't you have a quiet meal? What's even more funny is that the karate boss who singled out Bruce Lee has a nunchaku behind him? ? ? Don't you look down on Chinese Kung Fu? This is a traditional Chinese weapon, or Bruce Lee who is in front of you introduced it to the United States. It's just a bit weak in momentum. After the key was discovered that he couldn’t win, he took out the nunchaku to Bruce’s empty hand. There was no such thing as a martial artist. As a result, he was beaten to the ground and didn’t forget to give a thumbs up. This laughter really surpassed. All the New Year's film scenes of Xing Ye in recent years.
The following plot is even more intriguing. The school spirit of American private schools is so degenerate, it is made like poor children in public schools. Campus bullying is like fighting with punks, and they are all killers, hockey sticks, scissors, all kinds of things. All kinds of weapons came out, and the heroine said that these are all daily routines. I:? ? ? I really have to sincerely admire the magic of Tai Chi, which can protect the heroine in such a living environment without lack of arms or legs. A little meaty kid like me will be beaten out of a psychological shadow, right? But this is not the point! The point is that after so many bad incidents, they didn't! Report! police! Dare to love the American police, do nothing but bully the Chinese? I can’t help but think of the few Chinese students studying in the United States who were convicted of felony bullying on campus in the past few years, and their parents who planned to pay to solve the problem and then were prosecuted for bribery. Thinking about it this way, I can understand it again. Only Chinese can think about it. Out of this kind of plot. Next, the daughter of a civil servant of the Immigration Bureau was injured in a fight. My father did not want to call the police and report to the school, but abused his power to avenge his personal revenge, fabricated crimes, framed others, and violated the law. It wasn't until the other party knelt down to beg for mercy that he was as satisfied as a spiritual triumph. This kind of civil servant who held a little power in his hand was domineering, surely not from the daily seeing and hearing of the director and screenwriter? Moreover, the use of kneeling to express appeals is really too national. The president of the Chinese Association, so rich and powerful, can't he be harder to ask a lawyer to sue these criminals who abuse public power to take off their pants? "You don't live here, you don't understand". When you dare to bully your compatriots, you will be arrogant. When you see white people, you will be short by one-third, and blame others for despising you? And those Chinese gymnastics masters are also funny. People's Immigration Bureau normally enforces the law. You say that others are targeting you. If you are a legal immigrant, what are you hiding? If you are illegal, isn't it right to catch you? Are you right? Turning right and wrong, black and white, has become the practice of qigong for foreigners to oppress you, the great dancers who work in the dark? Who doesn't know what kind of monsters, ghosts and zombies are flooded with Chinese in San Francisco?
The section in the army is also full of slots, so I won't repeat it. The last fight fully embodies the fine tradition of traditional martial arts kicking the crotch. It can be considered sincere. At least it didn't use Yan Fang Taijiquan to throw the strong white man into the air. I don't think it is too much.
All in all, this is a cool film that incites nationalism, created through a fictional experience and a parallel time and space in the United States. In this parallel time and space in the United States, there is no rule of law, civil servants use public equipment for private use, and random fights on the streets. Yellow people can only swallow their voices when they are violently bullied. Their situation is worse than that of black slaves, and they are full of all kinds of corruption and depravity. However, that's how it is, attracting countless Chinese people who are tired of the good days and go to the black there one after another (Leng Feng's voice-over sounded here: Jianbu Jian, it's really a lesson). But I can understand why Ip Man sent his son there. Because in the movie, he would be expelled for fighting at school in Hong Kong, but he would not be expelled in the United States. So I did not forget to go back to Hong Kong to give his son a special training at the last minute. It can be said that it is well-intentioned to prepare to be in the United States.
Of course, I’m not surprised that this film can be a big success in the Chinese market. After all, this is where "Wolf Warriors 2" can sell for 5 billion. Combined with the background of the XX war between the two countries, the opposing commander beat the Chinese people too awkward. At this time, it is quite appropriate to shoot an anti-American drama to beat the people, so that the people can beat the Americans in the skull. Long-term lack of sex life really requires venting.
———————————————
I still have to add that many people say that the background of the era was like that, and the film has the connotation of anti-racism. This really made me happy. There are many movies that reflect the era of the Civil Rights Movement. My personal favorite "Hairspray" is one of them. Compared with the characters in it, I thought about it. What is the difference? Why doesn't it give me so much sense of disobedience like this movie? Let me just mention one point: In "Hairspray", even though the social atmosphere is not as friendly to blacks as it is today, there are still many progressive white friends who express respect for minorities. In this film, there is not one! All white people are so arrogant, rude, fierce and evil, like unreasonable savages, while Chinese people are all rational and civilized people who advocate persuading people with reason (let me laugh).
There is another slot that must be mentioned. In order to show off his power, the army's karate coach went so far as to forcefully break into the Mid-Autumn Festival gala in Chinatown. He moved three large stone slabs and cut it with one palm, saying that Chinese martial arts are all fun. Such reckless remarks openly insulted each other’s race in other people’s territory, publicly stated that the other’s culture was low, and the slave owners of the plantation were not necessarily so naked to the black slaves. There is also the way of breaking a boulder on the chest to show strength, which is... let me laugh again. Numerous similar slots run through the entire film. This is not a biographical film at all. It is easier for me to say that it is an adaptation of a comic book.
But I want to come back. One star is too serious for me. After all, this movie has provided me with a lot of joy and almost made me laugh from start to finish. As a comedy film, Samsung is not bad. With the gritted teeth and righteous indignation of the surrounding audience, the smile is better, haha.
