My Lost Ancestor? Ip Man or 葉問 or 叶问
Dear Friends & Families,
Last night, I went to Jusco balakong to catch a movie with my beloved. It has been some time that both of us go out for a date. Hehehe.. Lucky that she didn’t grumble or nag me about it. Went to TGV and bought us a couple seat to watch Ip Man. The latest action flick from Donnie Yen about a martial art master life during the Sino Japanese Occupation at China.
This latest movie that Donnie Yen act as the well known chinese martial art master of “Wing Chun” 詠春 known as Ip Man or 葉問 or 叶问. Now you
know why I called him as my lost ancestor? Hahaha.. We have the same surname or family name. How I wish he is my great uncle so I can learn a few moves and can share some of his glory days with you all. I’ve mistaken that he is the one who created the “Wing Chung” 詠春 but his master Chan Wah-Shun. He is the last pupil and teaches Wing Chung 詠春 openly.
So let skip the history and back to the movie. The movie itself name after he himself “Ip Man”. The show started that at China at Foshan there a street where all Martial Art master gather together and open there own martial art center beside each other. A newly opened martial art center’s sifu or master went to Ip Man’s mansion or house and invite Ip Man to a fight in private without letting anyone outside from the house to know who is the winner.
There is many laughters when everyone watching the beginning of the movie where Ip Man invited the another master for a dinner and drink before getting into business. Never thought that Donnie Yen can act something that is funny because previous few movies that he acted mostly just fight and action and less funny moments. When the movie moving to the middle part, more actions and fightings that we can see. Want to know more of the movie? Go get yourself ticket from your local cinema and watch this latest movie from Donnie Yen.
I’ll recommend this movies to everyone that who like action and martial arts. I would like to remind everyone of you that this movie has been rated 18SG in Malaysia and other countries I think will be Violence category. If this movie come out Blu-ray or DVD, I recommend to get one with the uncut’s or Director’s cut. You can’t get to watch alot of bones breaking in the cinema.

Oh ya.. forget something like to share with you that a quote from Ip Man he himself. “徒弟選擇一個好師傅, 固然困難, 但師傅選擇一個好徒弟, 更加困難” it is difficult for a student to pick a good teacher, but it is more difficult for a teacher to pick a good student. Not to mention that The Legend.. Bruce Lee is one of his bright pupil.
