Brother Dan said that "Ip Man 1" is worth 90 points. I agree with this, but he said "Ip Man 2" is worth 120 points. Then I think it is open to discussion. I might as well give a 50% discount to 60 points.
The excellence of "Ip Man 1" is by no means "hatred of the Japanese", but reflects the tragedy of the little people in the turbulent era. Just like Ye Wen in the film, he "righteously" condemned Li Zhao as a running dog of the Japanese, but as soon as this episode passed, and then a Japanese military vehicle swaggered over, but Ye Wen chose to retreat...
and If there is no "bare butt game" to intervene, "Ip Man 1" will definitely be better shot, because the ending set at the beginning is simply a classic. The specifics are as follows:
Ip Man was shot by Sato, and then fell. The masses began to violently move. Traitor Li Zhao killed Sato, but he was quickly killed on the spot by the masses. After that, the Japanese soldiers began to suppress the masses. Zhou Qingquan was driven away by the Japanese soldiers while covering Ye Wen's escape. After the gun headshot, the masses were suppressed by the town’s salary, General Sanpu left safely, and finally committed suicide in the secret room...
It’s a pity, because of the bare butt game, this ending is gone, and it has been replaced with a few lines that make people sting. The thorny subtitles...
If this ending can really be filmed, then I will give 120 points for "Ip Man 1."
Despite being castrated, "Ip Man 1" is still relatively good, and some plots can still be thought-provoking.
I gave four stars for the first half of "Ip Man 2", two stars for the second half, and three stars in general.
What does the second half of this film look like? It's like a wealthy son who hired a few people to pretend to be robbers to harass a woman, and then he had a good show of "heroes saving the beauty". As a result, he not only won the beauties, he was also praised by the world.
However, after exhausting efforts to invite some foreigners to pretend to be big bad guys, and then let themselves "stand up", but do not use actual actions to prove themselves in reality, this can really arouse "national self-esteem" instead of "self-intoxicated." NS?
Fortunately, this is just a movie, at best just mental food, but in reality, how many things are not more excessive than the crew of "Ip Man 2"? Not long ago, PetroChina entered the so-called "Top Five Hundred" companies, which surpassed the Yankee XX company, what did it become XXX...... Chinese companies have achieved such great "achievements", should they be proud of it? Should you be proud? Should there be a sense of national honor, right? As a result, when I looked online, the tens of thousands of comments on several major websites were all ridicule and sarcasm, not a single compliment. The main ironic comment is roughly that PetroChina has taken a lot of oil and water from the Chinese people, and it has become wealthy. It is an old and beautiful company that strips off the pants of us P people into fabrics, and then weaves them into gorgeous. Wearing his fig leaf on himself, showing how rich he is, and finally making the people "proud" of it. Is there anything more shameless than this in the world? Shameless, more than just PetroChina?
I never understood why a country as strong as the Soviet Union would lose to Lao America in the end. Is it really Lao Ge's "one person" responsibility? Later, I watched a lot of early films made by the United States and the Soviet Union, and I finally understood a little bit. In the same era, while Americans were constantly reflecting on their own shortcomings, the Soviets were in YY all day, constantly making themselves very difficult. Great hallucinations.
Film and television works cannot represent everything in this country, but as the main entertainment for civilians, it can still reflect the degree of a nation's self-anaesthesia. The victory or defeat between the United States and the Soviet Union was already doomed at the beginning of the Cold War.
Okay, stop and pull the topic back to "Ip Man". I said that I didn't mean to criticize Dan. I really like watching him fist, but I hope he can make better and more reflective films.
I understand why Dan has such a high sense of identification with the second part. I am afraid that to a large extent he is looking forward to staying abroad and will inevitably be discriminated against by foreigners. However, as a people who grew up in the Pan dynasty with a happiness index of 87.53% and ZF has no shortcomings, I am tired of narrow nationalism. I used to be an angry young man. I have been a 50 cents, a net special, an exclusion, and a foreigner, but now I am just an ordinary person with a job.
"Ip Man 2" should be most respected, not any Chinese in the film, but those foreign actors, just as "Ip Man 1" should be most respected, the two Japanese actors. Their joining performance shows that they have sincerely reflected on the arrogance and prejudice against the Chinese in the past.
Another thing to say is that Bruce Lee only has a few lines in the film, and there are no martial arts scenes. I don’t know why last year he had to choose children who know martial arts in all sorts of troubles?
I have watched "Ip Man 1" ten times, and I will probably continue to watch it in the future. It would be even better if this film could be released as a "violating" Hong Kong version according to the original plan (just like "Eavesdropping" That way). As for "Ip Man 2", maybe I won't watch it a second time.
