Ye Wen, a native of Foshan, Guangdong, had a wealthy family when he was young. He learned boxing from Chen Huashun, the third-generation descendant of Wing Chun, and his master's admonition to "one belt and one breath" supported him through the chaotic era of turmoil and dynasties. His wife, Zhang Yongcheng, is pungent and capable. In 1936, the world of martial arts in Foshan was in chaos. The master of Bagua Boxing, Miya Haneda, is very old and promises to retire. The position of the president of the Chinese Samurai Association naturally attracted the attention and coveting of martial arts masters. Including Miyaheda's only daughter Gong Er, White Saruma San, Kanto ghost Dinglianshan Wing Chun Ye Wen and other masters all focused their attention on the upright Miy Haneda. Boxing has a north and a south, and the country has a north and a south? The most virtuous person is worthy of the heavy responsibility of the president, but this false reputation in the floating world has attracted countless confused people to rush around and spend their lives. Born in troubled times, children's love is buried deep in their hearts, and they are crushed into mud by ice-cold wheels...

"All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence", "If you never forget, there will be echoes", "It was my luck that I met you at the best time", "To tell the truth, I have you in my heart, I put this It doesn't matter what I tell you, it's not illegal to like people, but I can only do it until I like it." - The lines are really classic

    4.5 First of all, I really like this movie! I watched it very high from the beginning to the end, and I would like to watch it again. The US version does have many differences, it is a little more compact, and of course it reflects the amount of material. . . Zhang Zhen's line has changed completely. Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi are both very handsome, and the love story of the King of Sunglasses is really the same for decades.

    The cool color part is full of commercial atmosphere, the "real" of fisting to the flesh is contrary to the "virtual" that is good at, the warm color part is handy, and it is difficult to let go of the old dream of the sea; the virtual focus background countless close-ups, entangled in the lingering parts, nostalgia for objects, dim yellow The gigantic dream of nothingness has nothing to do with the surrounding era; such meticulous polishing of light and shadow, such intoxication, such an unforgettable old dream at sea, such delicate lines, such a disappointing fate.

The Grandmaster quotes

  • Gong Er: Every great age presents a choice: to go forward, or stay back. I prefer to stay back, in the happiest times of my life.

  • [last lines]

    Ip Man: They say I spread wing chung throughout the world. I hope that's true. I didn't do it to acquire renown. The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical.
