had a ticket for a free member viewing session at Jinyi Cinemas, and without spending money, I thought it would be easier to give a high rating to this film.
However, after watching this film, I still feel a little vulgar, although it is not annoying, it is also considered that this film combines the box office and business well.
The film itself and Ip Man Yi formed a relatively uniform tone, but it definitely did not surpass "Yi".
It can be said that it is difficult to break through. If such a film that promotes the golden mean and martial arts culture breaks through too much, it will be easy to "thunder", just like the little "Bruce Bruce" who appears at the end who is not quite like the "Bruce Bruce" of that era. ”, which makes people very abrupt——similar to seeing that a villain book is a reprint, and the upgraded hardcover version does not have the old and dilapidated taste, and there is no nostalgic joy.
Jumping out of the plot design, out of the editing of the camera, out of the music and color rendering, it always feels a bit deliberate, deliberately trying to get rid of "Chinese culture", "Martial arts spirit", "Chinese and Western cultural conflicts", "The concept of loving wife and loving family" There are various concepts of "bad people will have bad rewards" and "people always need money to live". When everything has deliberate traces, I feel a little vulgar, and I feel that the script is arranged, of course, there is no suspense.
What deserves praise is Donnie Yen's performance. He has successfully endorsed the title of "Master of Chinese Martial Arts". Mountain dew, shoot when it's time to shoot.
This film interprets his fighting skills well. The director has always paid great attention to the control of the shots, and the shooting of several fighting scenes is quite delicate. Even though everyone knew that Ip Man would win, the director grasped the experience of "winners are also hard work", and listed the winning process and results at the right time, with a good sense of rhythm.
In terms of Hollywood commercial blockbusters, this film actually brought a lot of commercial success experience. I wonder if there will be another "three" with Bruce Lee's final appearance?
Or change the name directly and take a picture of "Bruce Bruce"!
Huang Xiaoming's performance is also what makes this film abrupt. From the brilliant appearance at the beginning to the flickering group of poor apprentices who have no money to follow Ye Wen, and none of these impoverished unemployed apprentices have been lost or increased. Behind Grandmaster Ye Wen, he was very abrupt. Huang Xiaoming's entire performance can only be said to be "generalized". Compared with the little character created by Nicholas Tse in "October Siege", it still looks like a vase.
Maybe Donnie Yen is too high in the whole film. In fact, what is praised is Sammo Hung's performance. I feel that he is very confident in this play, and he has held up a day. In this film, he ignores the flaws in the script, and the performance is still commendable, as if Karen Mok in "Du Lala" can make up for the deficiencies of the script with his own skills. This is a good actor!
It is not a bad thing for the whole world to learn about Chinese martial arts through movies. For young children, it is not a bad thing that martial arts may be popular again for a while. This film did not convey biased values, so I still don't criticize it too much!
