Yip Man
Watched this last weekend, was a pretty good wire-Fu film, though the wire-aspect wasn't as bad as dome Jet Li films, good for me, as I hate wire-Fu. Decent action all in all.
It's a Chinese film about the life story of the guy who popularized Wing Chun, though the film takes liberties for the sake of the story and I especially liked the part where they imply it was the Chinese who forced the Japanese out of China.
In general, Ip Man’s character
In general, Ip Man’s character is very well portrayed. Ip Man, born to a wealthy class, lived the life of an aristocrat, until the Japanese invasion, and then following the Communist takeover of China, fled the mainland to go to Macao, and later Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, he became an instructor of the then unknown system of Wing Chun Kuen at the Chinese Restaurant Association in 1949. This is a dramatic difference between the real Ip Man, and the movie Ip Man.
