I just watch it on dvd borrowed from my cousin .
Its one of those rare movie which combined strong and right morals
of a martial artiste and smooth and fast actions . There are a few
movies esp western ones which keep empthasising on pride and honour
but end up is like more of promoting violence like telling pple to
use their fist to solve problems . Some shows like wong fei hong
which are rather high rofile about their gung fu and competing in
open matches .
But in this show Ip Mun accepted to fight in his
house and keep quiet abt it to the public even though he win . And
also he doesn't go around showing off his martial art .In fact to
me he seem more like hiding it and only using it for a good purpose
or when theres no other way out .
Ip Muns char reminds me of what my discipline teacher in
my sec sachool told me when i need her to sign a form for me to
learn martials arts . She told me that " under normal circumstances
, pretend that you don't know martial arts . Only when there is
really no other way out and your life is being threatened then you
use it . " And i find her advice very good cos once when my
classmate try to playfully punch me , i just use my hand to block
it , he go ard telling alot of pple that i know martial arts and
some of my other classmate really tried to beat me just to test my
martial arts for the fun of it which i find very irritating . And
once one of my classmate being a teakwondo black belt tried to hao
lian want to show off one of his throwing moves , only to find that
i manage to land safely just beside him and looking at him . Its
not that i trying to show off but i always believe that no matter
how good you are , there are always someone better then you .
And last but not least i really hope that the same
cast will do the Ip Mun 2 movie instead of someone else . Cos i
find that this movie has the best combination of director , action
choreographer and actor . ... The scene where Ip Mun son cycling
out of his rm to tell his dad to fight back really makes me and i
believe everyone to laugh . Its just so comical .
