Cinema is the magic of art, it is able to show the many facets of life, telling a person's life in a few hours. It makes us empathize and we laugh.
The characters in the movie may not be a true portrayal of real life, but their images are deeply imprinted in our hearts. For example, Ip Man in the movie, although he was a slaughterer of his compatriots in history, became a patriotic hero in the movie; He is a "scumbag" who abandons his wife and children, but in the movie, he has become a good man who loves his wife and son; He is a drunken addict, but in the movie he becomes a martial arts master with strict self-discipline.
While we appreciate Donnie Yen's gorgeous movements, will we stop and think, is this the real Ip Man? Movie is a beautiful **, but it is an art worth appreciating and exploring.
Second, Donnie Yen, the protagonist of the "Ip Man" series of movies, as a child of a rich family, successfully created an image of a Foshan national hero who is upright and dares to win glory for the Chinese, making Ip Man a household name in the movie.
However, unlike the image in the movie, the real Ip Man in history is a rich second generation, and there are many controversies. It is curious how much true historical truth is hidden from Donnie Yen's "Ip Man".
The Ip Man family is from Foshan, Guangdong, and originates from Ye Hao, a famous prime minister during the Northern Song Dynasty. Ye Hao educated his children well, and all seven of his sons became Jinshi, a family whose history can be traced back to this great educator.
Ip Man's father, the Ye family, had a wide influence in Foshan, and was even known locally as the "Mulberry Garden Ye surname" because their mansion was large enough to accommodate a mulberry forest.
There are countless houses and shops of the Ye family in Foshan, and it is said that they can occupy several streets. Although Ip Man's family did not belong to the family of eunuchs, Ip Man had a strong interest in martial arts since he was a child, and he studied Wing Chun under Chan Wah Shun as his teacher.
Ip Man was very talented and became a famous martial arts master at a young age.
2. Ip Man's trip to Hong Kong: The story in "Ip Man" is set during the Japanese occupation of Foshan, and Ip Man fled to Hong Kong with his wife and children in order to protect his family.
In the process, they faced the hardships of life, but Ip Man always stuck to his promise to his wife Zhang Yongcheng, and the relationship between the two deeply touched the audience. Although Ip Man did not directly confront the Japanese in history, his family suffered a major blow as a result.
Ip Man has given a lot to his family, and his courage and persistence are worth learning from.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the Japanese military police visited again. It turned out that they heard that Ip Man was a martial arts master in Foshan and wanted to learn from him. In desperation, Ip Man could only learn martial arts with one of the Japanese.
In the process of discussion, the point stopped, and only gave the Japanese a time, without being ruthless, and did not fight ten by one person like in the "Ip Man" movie. After the discussion, Ip Man realized that he had angered the Japanese, so he left Foshan alone.
At that time, the military commanders of the national ** were holding special training classes in Guangzhou, Fujian, Yunnan and other places, and Ip Man joined the special training classes of the military commanders, where he was very popular. Subsequently, he was sent to Guangdong to work behind enemy lines.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ip Man was assigned to Foshan as the chief of police by the people, and was promoted all the way, with the rank of colonel. However, while working as a police officer, Ip Man arrested and killed many people.
In 1949, with the defeat of the Nationals ** was decided, and New China was coming, Ip Man realized that he had committed many crimes and was worried that he would be settled after the autumn. So, he left his wife and children in Foshan, fled to Hong Kong alone, and changed his name to Ye Yi.
After arriving in Hong Kong, he chose to remain silent and not mention his experience in the first half of his life on the mainland, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
3. Hong Kong Struggle Ip Man left his hometown and started a new life in Hong Kong. Although he was penniless, he began to teach Wing Chun with his profound martial arts attainments.
After several years of hard work, Ip Man successfully promoted Wing Chun in Hong Kong and accepted a student named Lee Chun Fan. Li Zhenfan has become a world-renowned martial arts star with his outstanding performance, and Ip Man has become a martial arts master admired by everyone because of this apprentice.
Ip Man's private life was controversial, and although he later lived a wealthy life, he was unable to bring his wife and children to Hong Kong due to policy at the time, and the couple were forced to live separately.
Until 1960, Ip Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng died of illness, and they could not see each other again. In Donnie Yen's movie "Ip Man", in order to show the deep affection between Ip Man and his wife, a scene was added where they fled to Hong Kong together and fell in love with each other, but this is not the real history.
However, the self-discipline, integrity, and upright qualities shown by Ip Man in the movie are worth learning from, and this is also reflected in the real Ip Man in history.
In fact, after Ip Man arrived in Hong Kong, he made a lot of money by accepting apprentices and teaching boxing, and his life gradually became richer, and he soon indulged in the life of a drunken gold fan in Hong Kong.
However, the death of his wife Zhang Yongcheng caused Ip Man's sons Ye Zhun and Ye Zheng to come to Hong Kong to find their father. Seeing their father so depraved, the two sons were very angry, so they united their father's group of ** and persistently advised Ip Man to quit smoking.
In the end, under the persuasion of everyone, Ip Man made up his mind to quit smoking. Although the real Ip Man in history lived a wealthy life, he also smoked a lot of cigarettes and threw away his wife. In the movie "Ip Man", the director and screenwriter ignored all these negative behaviors and made Ip Man into an image of a good man and a national hero.
Although the film glorifies historical figures, this is closer to the expectations and imagination of ordinary people.
Heroic movies, such as "Ip Man", "Huo Yuanjia", "Huang Feihong", etc., although the characters in the movie are different from real historical figures, most people are still willing to **, because the heroic and fearless characters shown in the movie are in line with people's values of jealousy and hatred of invaders, and promote the spirit of patriotism.
This kind of film inspires people's heroic complexes and satisfies people's yearning for justice and courage. On the contrary, those movies and television dramas that deliberately consume the patriotism of the public, insult IQ, and deliberately distort history have been widely criticized and boycotted by the public.
For example, in the anti-Japanese dramas that were widely criticized in the past two years, the directors of these dramas exaggerated the heroic image of our army, and the plot and content were completely divorced from reality, and absurd episodes such as tearing devils by hand, catching bullets with bare hands, and flying cornices and walking walls.
These film and television dramas can't really move people's hearts, but will cause people's disgust and criticism.
does not tolerate fake heroes, and also heroism film and television works are a pure admiration. History is the most impartial judge, and it will let the truth go away and warn future generations.
Therefore, we have more respect for those true national heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the country and made outstanding achievements in history, and their heroic deeds can stand the test of time. "
