Sitting in the movie theater, I was very entangled, especially when Ye Wen wanted to use his fists and feet to prove to foreigners that Chinese martial arts is not a flower boxing embroidered legs, we just experienced the few years when Chuanwu was cracked down. And then to the charlatans who only know how to fight.
So what exactly is traditional martial arts? Obviously, this question cannot be answered easily, nor can a film critic answer it, but looking back, after so many reflections and proofs, it is not too frivolous to still take proving that Chinese martial arts is very capable of fighting as the core idea.
Besides, all the foreigners in the whole movie are idiots and brainless people, just like stray dogs on the road, they come and go as soon as they are called, there is no logic in them, not even tools No one counts, the only role in the film is to scold the Chinese, bully the Chinese, make the audience feel indignant, and pave the way for Ye Wen's emotions. There is already a feeling of forcibly arousing the national plot, selling patriotic feelings, this Recruiting has been common in recent years, but it is rare that Ip Man 4 is so excessive, and you can't object, because you have been kidnapped by morality. If you don't like it, the moon is full abroad, or you can't get up after kneeling for a long time. I feel like I only stand up when I can stop selling my emotions.
Of course, Ye Wen's martial arts instructor is well-deserved and excellent enough, and he plays beautifully and cleanly, which is almost the only advantage in my opinion. Another advantage is that with Ye Wen's family drama, people can be freed from the almost crazy "crazy flat foreigners".
After watching Ip Man, I went back to watch a generation of masters. It is true that Wong Kar Wai didn't finish filming at all, and the editing was messy, but from the point of view that the degree of completion is only half, Ip Man is not even a primary school student in front of him.
