Ip Man 2 4K 2010 CHINESE

Life of Saint Yip Man, part two. Once again the lyrics combine with the prose of life and martial arts, and Donnie Yen continues to create a great and noble image. This time, the Ip Man created by him leads a family life and performs heroic deeds in Hong Kong: he creates a school, stands up for its honor and for the honor of Chinese martial arts, earns authority among city masters. It is an inspiring sight, and there are hardly such noble people in the real world. It's a pity that the sporting status of Wing Chun is low these days, no one uses it in MMA, but people who are in love with it as a beautiful and deep part of Chinese culture, as well as those who were impressed by the films about Ip Man, do it.

It is also a pity that the villain is just an evil and uncultured person, without zest, intrigue and tragic border, without depth. He is bad because he is a bad, uncultured and arrogant European, and Ip Man is good because he is a highly spiritual Chinese, following the ethics of Confucius (there are no positive Europeans in the film).

In a sense, "Ip Man 2", paradoxically, is a boxing advertisement, apparently involuntary. For against the background of the above-mentioned opposition, against the background of the fact that the villain here is not romanticized, but vulgarized, one is surprised that the unsurpassed master of all China, the highly spiritual Ip Man (and his authoritative colleague, played by Sammo Hun) suffered so much from a trash boxer-gopnik (that is, that this boxer is the world heavyweight champion, psychologically fades into the background). After the (tenth) viewing, the conclusion is made involuntarily-automatically, by itself: hmm, boxing, it seems, will be better.

A young Bruce Lee appears in the film for a second, to whose glory every second Korean "grandmaster" (I want to say "every second Korean") wants to cling to his fame: from the founder of the studio, Jun-Ri Taekwondo (Jun Ri), who "taught Bruce Lee to kick ", To the founder of the World Traditional Wing Association Chun Kung Fu (William Cheng), who was" immediately instructed to teach Bruce Lee "and whom Ip Man's students called a fraud and a liar.

As for the choreography and overall quality of the fighting scenes, as for the music, atmosphere, lyricism and performance of Donnie Yen, suffice it to say that the high quality of the first Ip Man has been preserved.
