Ip Man





A very nice movie.I agree with my friend say.This movie is better then spiderman n batman.XD
And below is something about the movie.














The Story


Ip Man is a fictionalized account of Ip Man's life. It begins just prior to the war between China and Japan, and ends with him being forced by the Japanese occupation to leave China for Hong Kong. Bruce Lee does not appear in the movie, though Lee is mentioned in the epilogue.







The movie dramatizes Ip Man's resistance against the Japanese occupiers, which caused him to flee to Hong Kong to escape Japanese retribution (in real life, he left in 1949 because of the communists: see link to Ip Ching's biography of Ip Man below).










The story is interesting enough but there is little new here. Despite being based on a real person, the plot elements are fairly traditional Hong Kong movie boilerplate:
  • Ruffians challenging kung fu masters to fights and bullying spirited but untrained (in kung fu) friends of the hero.

  • A modest and virtuous hero who disdains violence.

  • Arrogant and cruel Japanese overlords getting their just desserts at the hands of superior Chinese kung fu.
