Rather than saying I was excited by the film, I was more excited by the unexpected applause.
"Ip Man 2" is not as good as "Ip Man", but the sincerity of the film is overflowing on the screen as always. This film is very low-key, very simple, very serious, and very powerful, just like Ip Man. Donnie Yen's silence in the duel, the shy smile in life, and the resolute eyes when fighting for justice have created a character that is revered and sympathetic - even if Ip Man is played too much like a perfect person , Perhaps the audience now needs such a person. The ability to write a perfect person and be acceptable to others depends on sincerity.
Everyone applauded from the bottom of their hearts when they saw Ye Wen stand up from scratch and break through the middle of the foreign devil. The film certainly aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the audience, and it was too successful because it was not contrived.
I'm also thinking about why the audience applauds. In the past, Ip Man defeated the Japanese and the British, and now we applaud him in the past. I can't help but think that we are still applauding the past when others bullied us and we resisted with our meager powers. Are we always thinking about this other person bullying us? Should we come out of the mood of thinking about others bullying us?
So what can we applaud now?
The only thing I can think of is the Beijing Olympics. At the opening ceremony, I stood up and cried for China and cheered for China. In the past 60 years, we have not been bullied naked. The opening ceremony was purely a show of national prestige, and I was purely proud of China.
In any case, it was very successful and very atmospheric. After watching the movie, I wanted to stand up, shout, and do something by myself, something worthy of the Chinese people's integrity and personality.
