"Ip Man" by Honest Bajiao

Why does "Ip Man" stand out among the blockbusters? After watching it yesterday, I attributed the reason to its "honesty". The whole play is very normal, no tricks, no accidents, just talk about the story. The story is also a normal story, no entanglement, no high, what should be done, whichever step you take. Doing this is not easy. The actors are also honest and friendly. Needless to say, Donnie Yen is more forceful than in "Seven Swords". He smiles with a grin and shows his teeth. He is not good at literary dramas, but he adds some cuteness to the characters. Xiong Dailin's brows and eyes are not very straight, but his temperament is very calm, suppressing Mrs. Ye's field. Everyone is doing what they want to do. As a translator who is not very traitor, Lin Jiadong's timidity and conscience are still expected by the viewers. It's very good, why bother to over and over again and speculate how complicated human nature is. Or don't watch anything else, the honesty of the whole film can be seen from Ren Dahua alone, so old and hot acting, hidden only a little light in the eyes, almost all restrained cleanly, it is a serious love Righteousness, small businessman who plays an auxiliary role by the Grand Master, or a small national capitalist? I don't need to show too much, I'll just be obedient. I always feel that every actor thinks this way. This "but" makes a film.

Comparing movies with similar characters, "Once Upon a Time" is a combination of legend and romance, while "Ip Man" shows the true side of a generation of masters in the context of the times. His extraordinaryness is the ordinary in the times. What they have in common is that they can all go on and turn into many, many stories without being boring, because such a person is alive and full of flesh and blood. Looking at the real picture at the end of the film, I just feel that the spirited old man is very kind.

Tired of tossing around in stunts, and sighing in the legend, "Ip Man" is a real drama, and it is not vulgar or dogmatic. After reading it, I am calm. The real effort in the film is even more eye-catching, and the whole body enjoys it.

For other people, I just want to sigh with emotion about Huang Younan, a Scorpio boy in 1983, how many such roles he has played, such as "Yilu Cane", "Anna and Wu Lin", "In Love With Your Bed", "Ghost" Horse Rhapsody", "Himalayan Star", "Chuntian Huahua Alumni Association", not to mention other ones that have not been seen, are really small supporting roles. I feel that he is a bit similar to Chen Bolin, but Chen still walks a bit more than him. Chen is willing to play supporting roles. If he goes on like this, it will feel good. After all, these supporting roles are not just familiar faces.

    Ip Man: I'm just a Chinese man.

  • Ip Man: [hits Lei] Traitor!

    Captain Lei Chiu: Why am I a traitor? Their deaths have got nothing to do with me. I'm just an interpreter. I need to scrape a living too!

    Ip Man: Scrape a living? You watch your countrymen get beaten to death. Where's your dignity?

    Captain Lei Chiu: I don't have any. You do. You have lots of it. If you have the guts, go beat them! Beat as many as you can! I'm an interpreter, not a traitor...
