Ip Man, 2008, Action
Plot: A privileged Kung Fu master from China is forced to live in poverty during the Japanese occupation of China in the 1940s.
Thoughts: GREAT movie!!! This wasn’t just a movie that used Kung Fu as eye candy like many films tend to do. Kung Fu is actually a character in the film, used to drive the plot and understand the various themes of the film. This was less like “Enter the Dragon” and more like “Schindler’s List” to me, showing the hard times of individuals and the rise against oppression. Everything was on point with this film: the cinematography (with the gritty blue hue), the direction, the script, and the fight choreography. I really plan on watching this film again, very soon.
4.8/5
