"Ip Man", I heard the name as early as the filming started. At that time, I felt that the name of the film was like a person's name, it was heavy, flavorful, and it had a traditional cultural temperament, and it felt very worthwhile. expect. Although "Legend of Bruce Lee" hadn't even started broadcasting at that time, I don't even know who Ye Wen is and how he is related to Bruce Lee.
Applause came from the theater from time to time when watching movies. This year's New Year movie's first-rated viewing data all proved its reputation. I wanted to write something for "If You Are the One", but in the end I wrote "Ip Man" first, because it is a movie with depth and soul, and it has the urge to watch it again and again.
1. Professional cultivation, which means word-of-mouth
"Ye Wen". What are the highlights?
As a Kung Fu movie, the first talk about Kung Fu is of course wonderful. It is not excessive to say that it is hearty and hearty. Yen Zidan's strength finally appeared calmly and calmly with Ye Wen's temperament. This film destined to become a classic Donnie Yen is a real kung fu film that everyone is looking forward to. It has been waiting for us for more than ten years. Contrasting with "Legend of Bruce Lee", after the opening of "Wing Chun, Ip Man", calmly practiced, "Four Twenty Thousand Catches" and "Continuous Fighting", the original Wing Chun boxing practiced by women, under the wonderful interpretation of Yen Zidan , In the eyes of the female compatriots, it is also unique. Especially the indoor fight between Ip Man and the provocate Jin Shan, showing the lightness of Wing Chun martial arts, using a feather duster to block the knife of the Northern School, easily dissolving Jin’s reckless power, like the elderly to the younger generation, very homely, a feather duster He punished Jin's arrogance and played a calm and elegant master demeanor, a handsome character.
Wing Chun's explosive power is superior to that of close combat. In the confrontation between Ye Wen and ten Japanese soldiers, people were stunned. It’s fatal to hurt your muscles and bones under a violent fist. The Japanese devils are beaten like sandbags. This kind of scene has never been seen in Kung Fu movies before. Although it is violence under extreme conditions, there is grief and anger and justice. He unexpectedly relieved his anger, and also used Ye Wen's reply "I am a Chinese" to make the scene enthusiastic. The actual combat power of Wing Chun was fully demonstrated in this fight, which made people think that compared to the brave Muay Thai, Chinese martial arts actually still have potential to be tapped.
In the Chinese circle, whether it is martial arts skills, temperament image or literary drama, who can play the role of Yip Man, now it seems that only Donnie Yen is the only person who plays a live role with professional standards and a mature mentality. Compared with "Lan Fang", although they are all acting as a master, and Donnie Yen relies on real kung fu, "Ip Man" has the protagonist in place on the stage, and is not supported by the support of the supporting role. This kind of film seems to be more kind.
Word-of-mouth communication still depends on good stories, reasonable casting, matching, and substantial connotations. Professionals in all aspects are required to gain Zonglu's cultivation base and classic reputation. In this respect, the story of "Ip Man" is qualified, the main drama is wonderful, and the supporting role is excellent (especially the multi-faceted interpretation of the translator Li Zhao, which is quite praised). Although it is not perfect, it has reasons to pass on.
2. Touching emotions: A small world of a complete person
"Ip Man" is memorable, and there are many other things outside of Kung Fu.
There are wonderful literary dramas, with a sense of detail, spirit, and quality. No matter what type of movie, it can be called a good movie.
"Ip Man" is suitable for both men and women, because it allows people to see a small world of a whole person. Close to the truth of life is the most convincing.
The Ye Wen we saw, besides Wu Chi, he is still a lovely ordinary person, like in these bridges:
because of discussing with others, ignoring one side of the son, annoyed by his wife, feeling guilty, except for seeing his wife. After winking no longer going out, I idled to practice boxing at home, to remind myself that I should take my family to heart, and was still in a prominent position on the wooden pile, specially engraved the words "wife-sir", a cute otaku, and a smile.
Facing Jinshan's provocation, he laughed at him because he was afraid of his wife and refused to fight. He smiled indifferently: "There is no man who is afraid of a wife in this world, only a man who respects his wife"... When Ye's wife was irritated, he confessed to Ye "Don't fight." After damaging things at home", Ye Wen smiled and started to fight with peace of mind.
During the fierce fight, Jinshan smashed the vase with three punches and two kicks. Ye Wen looked nervous. Jinshan looked for his own right and said, "I will pay," and Ye Wen said with satisfaction, "OK." Soon, the table was smashed over again. After Jinshan looked helplessly saying "I will pay", Ye Wen's youngest son squeaked out of the back room on a stroller and walked around in front of Ye Wen. Angrily said: "Mom said, if you don't do anything, everything in the house will be smashed..." Hearing this, Ye Wen immediately pulled in his sleeves and started to fight back.
There are a lot of laughter like this. Ye Wen is afraid of humor, and the love of his children is a major attraction of the movie. Because he is a complete and exemplary ordinary person, his image is more meaningful.
From a rich kid to a ruined alley, trying to be poor, when Ye Wen blew fire for his ill wife, Yongcheng, to cook porridge, and Yongcheng worriedly asked how many meters were left in the house, Ye comforted the wife in his arms and said "Don’t worry... Your husband is strong, I can go out to find a job. Don’t worry, I won’t starve to death."
When Ye’s wife Yongcheng sighed, "I only know that I am very happy now. As long as you, Me, and Ah Jun. If the family does not separate, there will be no problems." Ye Wen added the sentence, "The most important thing is that the family is together." The adversity is deep, and the dialogues between him and his wife are deeply moving.
There is also a scene in the movie. The family of three is under the dim light. He looks at his son’s painting and smiles with a focused look. In such a difficult situation, the father finally accompanies his son, and the family stays together without separation. There is no hustle and bustle, and no matter how much hard work is forgotten, the warm moments remind people of a lot of warmth and are frozen in this kind of predicament. Such a scene seems familiar. It is also the time we have all experienced, which is worth cherishing. ……
Digging coal at the coal yard, drinking water and white porridge, and giving up your own sweet potato rations to your wife and children, fighting in the dojo, don’t forget to put the sweet potato first, and take it away solemnly after the fight; play with the children The back of the loving father and the honest details all show that he is a wife and children, a good husband and a good father who can live peacefully, tenderly and courageously.
He is also a friend of love and righteousness. Therefore, he will act for Wu Chi Lin and Master Liao, who were under the tragic death of the Japanese army. He will find the relic tin box for Wu Chi Lin in the coal yard, and solemnly deliver it to the bandit and Shang Hen. His brother's martial brother, and sincerely persuaded him to explain his suspicions and turn his head back, such details, because of the quality of life, are touching and sincere.
The hand-in-hand relationship and friendship support in the predicament, in a few details, make people cry. These deep emotions are actually rare in today's blockbuster movies. Just like the kindness and love of brothers who shared food for friends during the Wu Chi Lin famine in the film, Li Zhao's conscience for his family's livelihood turbulent between China and Japan, Master Liao said to his compatriots in the Japanese dojo that "knock them down" of righteous indignation …The brilliance of ordinary characters is subtle in "Ip Man". The simple shots and warmth fragments bring out a line of deep resonance with us, and it is also a place to retain more audiences outside of kung fu.
3. Character style: The elegance and calmness of
"Ye Wen" under the long gown is outstanding. Of course, it is also due to the personality charm of the master and the warmth to his wife and children inside.
The care of the challenger Master Liao’s defeat, to the forbearance of the challenger Jin Shan, and the kindness that he has reached, made him popular and can take care of everyone in difficult situations.
When fighting against his compatriots, he only used feather dusters, bamboo poles and other tools, and never used weapons such as knives and guns. Ye Wen, with a modest attitude, shows how a Chinese person should be an excellent person. It is well-respected, modest and restrained, not arrogant and domineering, and cannot be indifferent, just like his aspirations when he refused to teach the Japanese martial arts.
The wonderful voice-over is worth recalling: "Although martial arts is a kind of armed force, our Chinese martial arts contains the philosophy of Confucianism, martial ethics, that is, benevolence, and it has been extended to others. This is a truth that you Japanese will never understand. Because you abused violence, turned force into violence, to oppress others, you are not worthy to learn our Chinese martial arts."
Ye Wen's calmness is not only manifested in the calmness of the battle, but also indifferent to fame and fortune after his fame has risen. Benefit from the opening of the museum, and take care of yourself as before.
In the ups and downs from the children of the rich to the poor, although there are struggles, they can face life directly without giving up, without bowing their heads, without complaining, without asking for others, supporting themselves, retaining self-esteem, running for a livelihood, even if you put down your body and do coolies, I can also deal with it calmly, contentedly, tolerantly, retractable, and admirable...
When I reunited with my old friend in the cotton factory, I held the bag of rice that was left in exchange for the furniture behind him, and his face was as if not asking for help.
Even if the family interrupted the food, faced with the temptation of the Japanese army to reward the food with ten bags, they still have the backbone to contempt and refuse to use it.
In Ye Wen, we not only saw a warrior, but also the tolerance of an outstanding Chinese, a kind of inner world that is difficult to destroy. The symbolic long gown, regardless of whether it is thick or thick cloth, is also handsome and calm, with a teacher-like demeanor.
There is true love and tenderness, and the jade in the body is not open, and when it is time to shoot, he can bend and stretch out a husband, live with dignity, is a true man, this is a master respected by women.
A movie, outside the scene, if there are humorous bridges, warm emotions, human charm, good quality cultivation, rich connotations, let people remember, or tender or sonorous, make people laugh or tears, then Of course, its look and feel will not be lost.
4. Hero Ye Wen: The patriotism that no longer preaches is
indispensable for the family and the country. The film "Ip Wen" has patriotic sentiment and national righteousness, but the film is just right, there is no exaltation, and no preaching.
"Everyone chooses the path they take."
After the Japanese army invaded, the lonely figure who was alone in front of the wooden pile was also lost, walking in the ruins of the street, like an ordinary person, a lonely figure running around for life like an ordinary person, a tender man who was always worried about his family in hesitation, that brow frowned, lamenting his incompetence, face The person who doesn't know how to change the dangerous world, meets the tragic death of an old friend in a difficult situation, and fights against his wife and children, is Ye Wen.
Like us, he will experience setbacks, changes, pain and confusion.
Ye Wen, whose eyes were red with tears showing his scars in front of his wife, sighed that he was helpless and unable to change anything when he lamented that he was helpless and unable to change anything. In fact, we are the people who seek meaning.
The conclusion of growth is that the insignificance of people under the tide of the times comes from the fact that they are ordinary people just like everyone else, and have often done things without changing anything. There is a lot of confusion, but there are always questions about what to do, and with actions to prove what has been done, some brilliance may originally come from "incidental raising of arms, self-help and helping others."
Ip Man's world is characterized by individuality and commonness. "Family first? Country first?" The question is also worrying for him. He was bloody, but for the sake of life and forbearance, and finally shot for personal chivalry, until later on behalf of the public to pursue justice, Ye Wen's transformation is natural and convincing, people can believe that he is a humanized hero.
Revisiting the film, especially to see that before the decisive battle with Japanese officers, Ye Wen shed tears between life and death when faced with the Japanese clamor of the threat of death. This detail is arranged quite meaningful, because the performance is real. The hero must have no tears? For a normal person, death will always make people fear and nostalgia. Ye Wen's tears, shining with determination, are the sincere love at the parting of life and death, and the longing for his wife and children hurts in his heart. The true feelings echoed with the characterization of the whole film, indicating that the movie is not a hero who is ignorant of the fireworks and virtual reality. He is actually by our side, who can cry and laugh, is elegant and humorous, and is used to living in a lazy house, full of flesh and blood. A living person, all his heroic actions are based on this. The Ye Wen we saw, he is a lovely person who is emotionally connected with us, we respect Ye Wen, he has a master style of national justice, but he is not radical, and has not been out. dust.
There is a martial arts, but the sword does not show the edge. Looking back at that era, what actually paid attention to was rules, duties, and family-keeping traditions. The wealthy people are more inclined to lead a stable life. Ye Man's inherent family and country complex, but because of his disinterested personality and wealthy family background, the aggressiveness of violent murder is still difficult to cross after all, and only when external forces are forced and stimulated by blood around him, will he cross the boundary. , Become Ye Wen above the character.
"You like watching me fight so much, I'll fight you." Facing the Japanese general's intimidation, he answered simply and sonorously. This hard spirit is like the anger of the crowd at the end of the film. The unity is unstoppable, causing the Japanese army to chaos, and it is the most depressing. After the fall, I can't protect myself. Ye Wen, who has seen his friends tragically by the Japanese army, like many awakened Chinese, punches out with righteous indignation, strikes a heavy blow, and kills him. It used to be unthinkable, but now he is venting his anger for the Chinese people, in the midst of justice and violence. Manly.
The dojo yelled "I want to fight ten" angry at the Japanese army. After winning, they did not receive the Japanese army's reward and life-saving food. He resolutely refused to be a Japanese martial arts coach. He said that "I am just a Chinese" connotation. Integrity is the courage to transcend the state of daily life and hit people's hearts in the transition of roles.
The authenticity of the film is well documented. In reality, he is the national hero in the hearts of Foshan people. Unlike the legend of Huang Feihong, the stories around him are close, true, without preaching, and more weighty, making people wonder.
5. Tribute to a Tradition In the
film, we see a traditional beauty of human nature, the typicality of the story, the realism and closeness of the characterization, and also contrast the general style of that generation.
Although the Ye Wen we saw may not correspond to the real person one-to-one, the important thing is that the film summons memories for us in the natural and reasonable expression. The role of Ye Wen is to let people experience the tradition he represents between the real and the fiction. Those who are righteous and the beauty of human nature are once universal brilliance.
Just as the concept of film is to pay tribute to a generation of masters, it is also the heart of this article to pay tribute to a tradition.
How much style will be obliterated by time? It is gratified that his life has been on the screen. After Huang Feihong and Bruce Lee, he has brought some local elements to Chinese movies.
The thickness of this movie is so mixed, and every time I watch it, I have an aftertaste.
Ye Wen's life experience may be inquisitive or enlightened. He is talking about how people should deal with themselves amidst changes (especially in difficulties)?
Looking at his inner world, it is actually like that long gown, which is a symbol. On the screen, Ye Wen stepped down and created a gentleman, gentleman, and charming Yan Zidan, who used to only fight fiercely. It makes people suspect that Juan is Ye Wen, and Ye Wen is Juan? Did Juan make Ye Man, or did Ye Man make Juan? The audience he is close to will also feel that Ye Wen in life is me, and I may become Ye Wen.
The suppression of the historical atmosphere does not make the movie only heavy. In the sadness, there are actually a lot of emotions that create influence and actively promote.
Unlike some films that are negative in life, depression makes people desperate.
Movies, if you can see some love, warmth, and hope in it, and make people feel the warmth of life; or in addition to beauty, you can also get some revelation about life, word of mouth, then the subtle lessons are right. A movie is actually a merit, and a memorable movie will not lack goodness.
Watching such a movie is actually very worthwhile. Recollection is the merit of a good work.
