Be a man like Master Hong

The plot of "Ip Man 2" doesn't have too many new ideas. Through the previous plot, I will describe Master Ye's temperament and living environment, and then find a way to play a few games, and finally arrange a BOSS battle, but after watching it It still feels very good, and the fighting scenes are even more brilliant than the previous work. In particular, the battle between Master Ye and Master Hong on the table was very enjoyable to watch. When the two masters stood firm on half of the platform, I couldn't help but applaud. Just with these eye-catching fights, "Ip Man 2" is also a work worth watching.

Ip Man played by Brother Dan is more natural than the previous work, whether it is the previous work "There are no men who are afraid of their wives, but only men who respect their wives", or the sequel "Master Hong, do you think the outcome is more important or eating with family is more important" , Donnie Yen's interpretation of a generation of masters in the image of a little man is extremely full. Donnie Yen is Ye Wen, and Ye Wen is Donnie Yen. It's natural.

The sequel is still the routine of "Zhen Zidan Wushuang", but the final boss battle is much more difficult than the previous one. Master Hong, who was on par with Ye Wen in a short period of time, was unfortunately beaten to death in the arena. Q is also beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face. It’s just that compared to General Miura, who respected Chinese martial arts in the previous work, this world boxing champion Tornado is just a mad dog, but his fighting power is so powerful that I can’t help but be beaten to death for a few strokes. General Miura was upset.

Leaving the big mansion in Foshan where there is no worries about food and drink, Ye Wen's wife seems to be more and more virtuous, and the relationship between husband and wife is much deeper than before. emotion. A group of young people headed by Huang Xiaoming is arrogant. Huang Xiaoming's role is not very good. It is much weaker than Jinshan's aura. As expected, as the masses have expressed, if Donnie Yen is Ye Wen, then Huang Xiaoming is 2...

Ip Man's words and deeds in this work fully demonstrate the humility of Chinese martial arts, whether it is teaching his disciples not to fight, showing mercy in the round table battle, and talking to the world champion Tornado at the press conference to say that the Chinese people will come. The timing also includes the humility of the Chinese people, until Ip Man did not kill the tornado in the ring to avenge Master Hong, this series of bridges fully demonstrated Ip Man's martial arts or the more noble personality. On the one hand, this layer of meaning also enriches Ye Wen's image.

The lines of "Ip Man 2" are also very good. The most impressive is the policeman played by the fat cat Zheng Zeshi and the newspaper editor-in-chief Genge: You have a conscience, but where do you come from the truth, I have the truth, I tell you, you can write , write him to death... Since he has walked out of the movie theater and his memory is not good, the specific lines should not be like this, and the whole audience laughed at that time.

The Englishman who made Fat Cat want to write to death is indeed not a good thing. It can be seen that the British are not all gentlemen. In "Ip Man 2", it was the British who did the wrong thing. The Opium War was also the British, and the British also had a lot of bullying. The tyrannical woman is full of evil, and it can be seen that there are many foreigners who are not good things. Thinking of this, I feel the necessity of legal system construction even more... Uh, it's too far.

Apart from Ye Wen's unparalleled aura as always, what impressed me the most in "Ip Man 2" was Master Hong, the master of Hong Quan. As Ye Wen said: Master Hong was the most respected master in Ye Wen's life. Until I walked out of the theater, Master Hong's expression in the ring still flashed in my mind like Ip Man. Master Hong said: For the sake of life, I can endure, but insulting Chinese martial arts is not acceptable. As the leader of the Hong Kong martial arts world at that time, Master Hong could not be as aloof as Ip Man. He had to obey the foreigners, maintain the livelihood of his brothers, and support a bunch of children. As a great master of the generation, Master Hong also has the sect’s competitive spirit and a sense of mission not to disgrace the masters, but these are insignificant when Chinese martial arts jointly resist foreign aggression. When Master Hong stood on the ring and looked at Ye Wen At that time, the two grandmasters were already invincible.

The scene where Master Hong refused to let go until he was beaten to death in the ring was the best part of the whole film. Men have two kinds of battles, one is for victory and the other is for dignity. We will experience a lot of the former in our life. For example, standing out in exams, excelling in interviews, and strategizing in the stock market, but the latter, the kind of battle that knows the outcome is failure or even death but still stands up is even more admirable. At the time of his death, the martyrs who blew up tanks with explosives, blocked gun holes with flesh and blood, and still did not hesitate to hit stones with eggs, Master Hong is such a person, perhaps the story of Master Hong fighting the world champion tornado never appeared in our history. , but there are definitely many people like Master Hong, who can be called the soul of our nation.

There is always a time when a man has to fight for his dignity, not only his own dignity, but also the dignity of the nation. A man must be a man like Master Hong.
