Most want to go home.

This sentence is what Ye Wen said after the competition, and it is also what I want to say.

It feels very strange to watch this kind of film abroad. A bunch of Chinese people get together in the world of foreigners to watch a film about a Chinese beating devils. In the middle of being moved, I kept applauding, but after reading it, I have to go back to the devil's world, chat with the devil, and listen to the devil's class. Chinese nationalism can be more easily stimulated in certain circumstances, such as my current state.

This film takes full advantage of the most appealing part of the box office element, gathering to attack the audience. The narrative method of first-suppression and then-elevation, the joining of stars, and the national plot against colonialism, as a result, it is difficult not to buy a seat.

The older Hong Jinbao gets, the more fanciful it is, and inviting him to play is definitely a bonus. Needle Bullet seems to be a first-line actor, no longer the martial arts niche of the year. Huang Xiaoming didn't see anything except handsome, but why does he sometimes feel like a shrimp? I actually didn't recognize Shi Xiaolong, and after analyzing the stills, I found that there was a middle-aged uncle who was very similar to him. The years were not forgiving, and the child stars of that year have changed to middle-aged routes. The two foreign actors are both good, especially the scene where Tornado appeared for the first time. The scene was very tense, but it didn't seem very stiff. The Chinese and foreign actors cooperated very well.

At the end of the plot, Bruce Lee's appearance is super superfluous. If it's just to draw out Bruce Lee, it's better to just put out the subtitles. It's too nondescript to get such a silly boy out. When Ye Wen competed, there were too many shots of Master Hong. The director seemed to want to express that it was because of Master Hong that Ye Wen wanted to compete. Maybe it wasn't that simple. The director's handling seemed a bit narrow.

Ye Wen's English name is IP MAN, and he has no idea what it means. It seems that it has nothing to do with the IP card.

    As long as it can stir up national sentiment, there is no movie that does not sell well. "Ip Man 2" is a clever movie!
