Kung Fu: One Horizontal, One Vertical (see myself)

At the beginning of the movie, in the dark night, in black clothes, and surrounded by black buildings, Ip Man said something that clearly understood the truth of the world. , the general meaning is that no matter how powerful your background is, in the martial arts world, the last one standing on both sides is the boss. Then there was a wonderful fight. At first, like the audience, I thought the movie would continue in this way. , I didn’t expect that Wang Sunglasses would still be Wang Sunglasses. (Because I didn’t know until the end of watching that Wang Sunjing mentioned the three realms of the Grandmaster.)

Then let’s review the complete movie:

It seems that a very authoritative and powerful thief , the old man (Mr. Gong) who was talented in both virtue and art wanted to retire, but he wanted to finally find a good young man for the martial arts, so he first helped his eldest apprentice lead the way in the north and made a name for himself. Now that he has come to the south, it seems that He was also preparing to pave the way for his eldest disciple (I'm not sure, I understand it by watching the movie), but the eldest brother couldn't bear his temper. I don't know who provoked whom first, so the eldest brother started fighting with the people from the south. After winning, he even said a harsh word

Isn’t this a conspiracy against the old man? As a result, the old man told the senior brother to go back to the Northeast, and then Ip Man joined hands with the old man. Then Ip Man and the old man fought while talking, and then they won (I don’t know whether he really won or the old man let him go). Ip Man Hence the name, but the old man’s daughter, Gong Er, didn’t want her Gong family to lose its reputation, so she privately competed with Ip Man in martial arts, and Gong Er won (although the win was a bit disappointing), and the two of them wouldn’t know each other if they didn’t fight. , and finally cherished each other. This is the first part.

In the second part, Little Japan is here. The old man’s apprentice is the senior brother who has become a traitor. The old man wants the senior brother to turn around, but he doesn’t listen and fights with the old man. The old man is old. After all, it was not as good as the young senior brother who was beaten to death. Then the old man's daughter wanted to insist on revenge, but the elder brother said that she had already been married and was not considered a member of the Gong family, so he would not fight her. So Gong Er vowed not to marry, have children, or pass on his skills. , so he finally blocked the elder brother at the train station and killed him, but Gong Er was also seriously injured. After meeting Ip Man in Hong Kong, he died of illness some time later, and the play ended.

First of all, this movie has a lot of information, so I will only pick a few points to talk about.

Wang Sun Jing focuses on Ip Man and Gong Er to depict the great master.

The spicy-tiao-eating audience (including me) always thought that the great master he was talking about was Ip Man, I think Wang Sunjing is talking about Ip Man and the people of Gong Er's era, using them as the epitome. At the beginning of the movie, Ip Man already had his own understanding of Kung Fu, and through his friendship with Mr. Gong. Then Ip Man competed with Gong Er, and then Xiao Nippon came. He had contacts with Ip Man and Gong Er (an uncompromising martial arts master who was killed by the Japanese). The director took Ip Man's narration and told him his fate one by one. The few masters who helped pave the way for Ip Man at the beginning, including the Bajiquan master who was being hunted by the Japanese and were rescued by Gong Er at the train station (because the Bajiquan master played by Zhang Chen was independent of the entire movie, I felt Wang Sunglasses wanted to write the whole martial arts world, but when he met Gong Er, it was a bit reluctant, so I think), the sun-thrower Ma San, Gong Lao Ye Zi, Gong Lao Ye Zi’s senior brother, etc., the director relied on their angle, depicting people in the martial arts world of that generation. This is the "generation" depicted in the entire movie. Because the entire movie depicts Ip Man and the Gong family, it is not known whether those people are "grandmasters".

A great master - see yourself, see the world, and see all living beings.

My previous understanding is that Wang Sunjing is about the masters of that era. Some people will definitely ask, the title of the movie is The Grandmaster, so who are the masters? I think "seeing myself" is the master, because by the end of the movie, Gong Er can see the world, and Ip Man said it at the beginning (see my picture at the beginning) and when he joins hands with the old man (see the world)

The old man (never forgotten, there must be repercussions), the old man’s senior brother (face, lizi), the master of Bajiquan played by Zhen, and what realm they have reached is unknown, and Wang Sunjing did not spend much time describing it. . The Grandmaster is obvious. Ip Man corresponds to seeing himself, seeing the world, but meeting all living beings. I am not sure, because almost the entire movie uses Ip Man's narration to describe the fate of the people around Ip Man. The director did not give a clear answer.

What is the world that Ip Man is talking about when he joins hands with the old man?

What does it mean to see oneself, see the heaven and earth, and see all living beings? If you look at a mountain, it is a mountain. If you look at a mountain, it is not a mountain. If you look at a mountain, it is still a mountain. I can't understand these without clear examples.

There are also those exquisite pictures. Although one picture is beautiful, the characters are piled together, almost motionless, and I don’t understand the meaning.

If there are netizens who can understand these three points, they can analyze them.

As for the whole movie, it is still Wong Kar-wai's consistent style. The shooting technique that attracted me most is that Wong Kar-wai shot some details very carefully, so that it feels very real, but it does not feel lengthy. I feel itchy in my heart and very happy, as shown in the picture below.

Friends who have watched it don’t know if they have the same feelings as me. You can compare it to the ending of Days of Being Wild, when Tony Leung Chiu Wai’s other “A Fei” dresses up and prepares to go out.

As for the whole movie, it is also more artistic than commercial. The "three views" that run through the whole movie, the big fights in the short sections of the movie, the acquaintance between Gong Er and Ip Man, there are some emotions in it, I think It's a bit forced, and some of the characters' connections are also very reluctant. But the overall structure of the movie is not affected.

So it is a good film.
