The play is still wonderful, but the plot line really doesn't know what to say. The first one resists Japanese aggression, the second one breaks the discrimination of the colonists, the third one excavates the responsibility of being a husband and a father, and the fourth one really doesn't have any bright spots.
Why falsify history? Of course I know that there is a big gap between the real Ip Man and the image created by the film, but from the perspective of perception, many of the stories compiled in the first few films are meant to integrate the advantages of everyone in martial arts into one person, which is understandable, but let him go to the United States. What's the point of getting into the U.S. Marine Corps? This is something that is obviously not going to exist. What is the point of this forgery? If it is to break the American prejudice against the Chinese, instead of making it up like this, it is better to make a few movie versions of Bruce Lee's legend. Anyway, Chen Guokun's role as Bruce Lee is getting better and better. Make it up on Ye Wen alone? And I'm very curious, since the third part, Ye Zhun disappeared without a reasonable explanation. The latter two are like Ye Wen only has one son, Ye Zheng. Weird.
After reading the four parts, I finally determined that what this series wants to tell is all finished in the first part, and then I just continue to grasp a few points in it to expand the story. The background of the first part focuses on the period of being bullied by Japan. Emotionally, the audience can really resonate, and the anti-prejudice, openness and tolerance, and responsibility to the family to be shown in the latter part are all well performed in the first part, and the latter three parts put a few points among them. Take it out and lengthen the space, but the expressiveness is much worse, it is really unnecessary.
In fact, the series of "Ip Man" really should have only one.
