From Wong Fei Hung to Ip Man

In the fourth part of the Ip Man series, Qiu Litao strikes again. It is true that Huang Qiusheng is far from Donnie Yen in kung fu, but Qiu Litao is smart enough to avoid the edge and focus on other aspects... First of all, the movie has a strong Hong Kong flavor, and the scenes are very realistic. The life of the old streets and citizens is vivid, which is rare in Hong Kong films in recent years. With the preferential policies for co-production films and the surging investment in the Mainland, it is becoming more and more difficult for us to appreciate the taste of Hong Kong... Secondly, this The movie is relatively bland. The final battle emphasizes not the contest with Xiong Xinxin, but the description of Ye Wen's later years. What is rare is that the three-dimensional portrayal of characters in the movie makes everyone no longer a perfect hero or a simple one. The binary opposition, everyone is full of contradictions, the role settings of Chen Xiaochun and Zhou Chuchu are very obvious... In fact, after Qiu Litao moved to business in recent years, the characteristics of his independent producer have almost disappeared, and the language of this film is almost I can't see any innovation within a reasonable range, which has to be said to be a pity. Perhaps, the taste of Hong Kong can be recreated, but the spirit of Hong Kong directors is difficult to revive... In recent years, Ye Wen's material has become popular, and this film can basically be recreated. The final chapter of Xu Shucheng's Ye Wen promotional film corresponds to the Huang Feihong craze before 1997. It is not difficult to find that this has a lot to do with the mentality of Hong Kong people. Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu's opponents are all foreigners, which is a kind of confrontation between China and the West. After 1997, the separation plot did not disappear, but turned into the mentality of the other. The Chinese people, and these are to call for the reshaping of traditional morality, and it is the presentation of the confused spirit of Hong Kong people... The interesting thing about Ip Man is that the establishment of a new stylization, that is, there must be Bruce Lee's support at the end no matter what, In fact, although Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is related to Wing Chun, he has a wide range of fields, and he may not regard Ip Man as the only master. However, they all have one thing in common, that is, to establish eastern civilization and compete with the West. Maybe it's a kind of nationalism in transition...
