At first glance at the action porn, it is actually a domestic conscience

"Actually, the most important thing is the people around you."
This is the last line of dialogue in the movie "Ip Man 3", and it is also the official theme of the film. A series of films with "traditional boxing dictatorship and various disobedience" as the core selling point developed into the third film, and actually began to make a fuss about the universal concept of "family". Before watching the film, I was completely unprepared. In the first half of the film, the plot follows the usual routine, and with the help of nationalist sentiments, it rushes in the direction of infinitely escalating battles, especially when the shipyard 2VN, which has so many slots that ignore logic, broke out, I almost wanted to define the film. It is an "action porn film". What I never expected is that the main creator seems to have started to tell the story well from then on...
What is commendable is that "Zhen Kung Fu" has indeed dedicated the best acting performance since the movie. . The director even boldly gave him a close-up of his expression for about 10 seconds in a timely manner to present the details of the character's expression that combines sadness, guilt and forbearance. Of course, even though Donnie Yen's performance is still appalling in absolute terms compared to those really powerful actors, but at the same time I have to admit that this is too rare for him, and it also shows that he is in the The courage to achieve breakthroughs in performance. Therefore, for the first time in the theater, we saw Ye Wen, who was focused on shaping the first two films and who shouldered the national justice and the spirit of traditional martial arts at the same time, and who has been almost "completely humanized", returned to his family and became a responsible, able to bend and stretch, A down-to-earth man at home.
In fact, compared with the previous two films, the proportion of action scenes in this work has not been weakened, but has actually increased. However, what also surprised me is that Mr. Mike Tyson, who can really beat "Cheng Li Zhen" together, is not the final boss. And, unlike all other fights that were won by our comrade "IP MAN" superhero, the fight with Tyson was designed as a timed defensive battle in the film. However, after watching the actual battle process, it became clear. The main creator actually wants to avoid the too-intensive slots in this battle. After all, the magnitude of the two characters is too different. Since they must fight, the most logical setting is to not be beaten down within a limited time.
As for how to fight reasonably, the answer given by the gold medal martial artist Yuan Baye is actually very simple - since you are a boxer, you should pay attention to dodge the defense, and then wait for the opportunity to hit the next stage! As a result, a set of lower combos starting with the classic martial arts action single-leg squat (I don't know the scientific name, it looks like the leg action of the famous Han Dynasty rap figurine) became the biggest highlight of this fight, and left a lot to the audience. left a deep impression.
Different from the above-mentioned defensive battle that is restrained in exaggeration, the final battle of the film is actually more like a Wing Chun exhibition match. Donnie Yen, who has been famous for a long time, and Zhang Jin, who has rapidly become popular in recent years, both have a solid foundation. Therefore, Wing Chun's sticks (six and a half sticks), knives (eight chop knives), and unarmed hands (Wing Chun index), from a long-range range Skills to close combat, fighting from far to near, all kinds of gorgeous and all kinds of beauty, and the last inch to solve the battle, there is really no better Wing Chun promotional film than this.
On the whole, at a time when plot creativity and action design are increasingly lacking in innovation space, "Ip Man 3" has designed the fighting to be good-looking and reasonable, and integrated it into a story that is smooth and can resonate widely. Obviously, the main creative team away. Why not go to the cinema to support such a conscientious domestic product?
