Review of Ip Man (2008) by Darian J — 27 Jul 2013
Nice to know this is based on true events, difficult to know exactly what is real and what isn't but some amazing fight scenes and can see the influences of wing chun. I even recognised a few of the moves, they had a wing chun expert on set and it shows. Amazing to think Donnie Yen had never studied wing chun before this film. He spent 9months learning the art before filming.
The plot is character driven, and ip man comes across as a well centred individual, worth a watch. I'm planning on reading the book written by his son, in order to get a better idea of his life.
