.:. Ip Man 1/2 .:.
Got to watch Ip Man 1 yesterday at Ryan's house in the afternoon with zhiyong n sushan. So I got to watch both the movies on my bookouts after NS respectively and tot tat I would comment on it like all the movies i've watched. Ip Man has always had a reputation swarming around it since release of the first movie, jus tat i din get the chance to watch it. So was quite glad i got to watch both movies.
Storyline wise, I tot it was quite well narated. The storyline was apt to describe Ip Man as a person himself, and how he faces problem tat comes his way (as well as how he respects his wife haha). Like what Ryan had mentioned in his blog, the story was very chinese based. Everything was taken from a chinese point of view, about world war and all, how kung fu is not about violence but about confucian spirit. Makes it a very china film.
Onto the main point, the cheography. I must say this movie has one of the best cheography i've ever seen. I know that wing chun was about fast punches and stuff, but still seeing is believing. Its jus too awesome. He literally machine-gunned-punched ppl to death, talk about human sandbag. I like the way the different techniques, not onli wing chun for the first movie, was executed. When you see different styles of kung fu pitted against one another, it really allows you to notice the flaw in the other. And the good thing about Ip Man is tat bcos he does not fight to kill, there's alot of cheography where he uses weapons unlike others have done before, like a feather duster and a laundry pole for 1, and wooden rack for 2.Really shows how good cheography can make or break a film.
So all in all, Ip Man was a great show, from a person who likes cheography point of view. Real entertainment worthy.
