Ip Man - Movie review

Theatrical release poster


Yesterday was Christmas Eve, and the best way (economically) to spend the night was to watch a movie. Just my point of view as now the economy is not in a good condition. Just gather with friends, have a drink and watch a movie. To me, that's good enough. Of course you can opt to share the day with family which I strongly recommend. :D

Well, I watched Ip Man yesterday with the gang. To be honest, this movie was definitely not suitable for kids as all the action was so real and violence. I must comment all the people who made this movie. It was a good movie with a strong story line and action.

The movie is based on true story of the Grandmaster Ip Man. He was the person who responsible in making Wing Chun (one of the Chinese kung fu style) popular and famous. Grandmaster Ip Man was the Master of the famous kung fu actor, Bruce Lee. The whole movie was about how Ip Man saved the dignity of the Chinese people when they were bullied by the Japanese. Full of action and Wing Chun style kung fu plus other kung fu style also. Ip Man was a man who had lots of patience. He respect his wife to the top of the line. Maybe some will called it 'afraid of wife'. But I very much agree with Ip Man saying that that's call 'respect', not 'afraid'. He used his kung fu skill brilliantly. He did not show off and look for fights everywhere. But when his own friends and people got bullied by other people, he would lent his 'fists' for them. To know how the whole story goes..go get a ticket and enjoy it. :P

This movie had taught me a lot valuable lessons that can help me improve myself which I will try to adopt. We are all human beings, don't bully other people. We must help each other in our life. Have lots of patience in everything we do and be optimistics. We can survive if we try our best to do so. Don't be arrogant in everything we do. Be humble all the time. Put up a simple smile for our loved ones even we are too tired to do so coz with 1 simple smile, can make the whole day better for them. Always respect your wife, girlfriend or girl / woman. Respect everyone that come across us. That's the most important. ;)

The whole movie had a lots of element in it. Funny dialogue, valuable lessons of life, action, kung fu, history and lots more.

Bravo to the production team and casts of Ip Man. Great movie...:)
