IP Man

This movie will truly serve as an inspiration to those who saw this movie. The movie is about IP Man, the master of Bruce Lee, tells how he gained the dignity and freed the people of China from Japanese empire with the use of his martial arts skills. This is not just about skills and arts and how good he was. It is about what IP Man as a person, his discipline and principles. How it became an instrument on their way to freedom and liberty. During his time, his family was very wealthy and respected and also he was known to be the best Master of Kung Fu or Martial Arts in their town. He was famous and made a lot of friends. At the same time, he was acting as a firm person and dignified. Not until Japanese conquered China and enslave them (just like what they did to my lovable and beautiful country, Philippines). Took away their houses and made IP Man's house as the Japanese Headquarter. IP Man continued to live as a low profile citizen, working his arse to feed his family. They had pawn everything that was worth pawning to survive and lived in a slum. The Japanese general who was handling them was a fan of martial artists that is why he was choosen to work for him. He would call any from the workers every now and then to have a fight his Japanese fighters, if they win they will get a reward, one sack of rice. One sack of rice in exchange of their lives. How cruel can they get? Going back, IP Man was never interested in fighting because what really matters to him was his family, not until his friends and family are slowly being beaten and hurt by these invaders. He decided to join and started to fight when his friends started dying and tested. His first fight was with 10 Japanese fighters ( I think they are into Taekwondo) in revenge of his friend's death who diead in front of him and he witnessed with his own eyes, in aiming to get more sacks of rice instead of just one, one soldier shoot him after he was defeated (kawawa talaga promise!), and the general was really impressed with him and wanted him to come back for another fight. After witnessing his skills, the general was really impressed and wanted IP Man to teach his people [Japanese ones] those skills so that he [general] can spare them their lives. Being the most dignified person ever, he refused and that made the general mad and requested for a duel. You should see his skills in the actual movie because I can't really describe it, all I can say is 'it was very awesome'. Of course, the general was defeated and the Chinese people gained their dignity and freedom at some point. After the China was freed from Japanese Empire [of course, because they [Japan] can not have what does not belong to them], IP Man decided to finally built a school where Bruce Lee became one of this disciples. Really, really a great movie that inspires me to move on with my Taekwondo churva, A must SEE. Go ahead people. buy your ticket!!!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!!!!
