Ip Man 3 is set in 1960s Hong Kong, about 10 years after the events of the second film.
But Hong Kong society at that time had many uncertainties.
To take ownership of the land, Ma Kinh Sang (Dam Dieu Van) – Frank’s henchman, committed many despicable acts such as threatening the principal, setting fire to the house… The police were helpless, the authorities
That incident unintentionally implicated Master Diep’s family members.
When Ip Man stood up to fight for the most simple things
Having been the subject of five films with three different actors, the life of Master Ip Man still attracts Chinese filmmakers.
The previous two episodes took turns reviewing major events with many turning points, ups and downs in Master Diep’s life, from the time he lived in Foshan, through the Japanese fascist invasion, until his death.
Ip Man 3 continues to depict the character’s life in Hong Kong, with new conflicts that he cannot avoid.
In it, Ip Man and his students are trusted and seen as protectors, a lone symbol of strength and resistance to evil.
The first half of the film very well builds the context for the conflict, appropriately demonstrating the cruelty of the Ma Kinh Sang gang with a series of despicable acts, creating a legitimate motivation for the actions of the main characters.
Two interesting opponents for Ip Man
The ethnic conflict often seen in Chinese martial arts films still looms large in Ip Man 3, but is expressed with restraint and sophistication by the writing team.
But as a boxer, Frank shows himself to be a gentleman.
Besides Mike Tyson, Master Diep has another opponent in the movie: Truong Thien Chi (Truong Tan).
It’s difficult to classify Truong Thien Chi as a protagonist or antagonist, like Sammo Hung’s character Hong Zhennan in part two.
The battle between him and Ip Man is therefore imbued with the spirit of traditional Chinese martial arts, which is rare in recent martial arts films.
A touching story of a husband and wife
But the most prominent point of Ip Man 3 must be the story of master Ip Man’s family, especially the husband and wife relationship between Ip Man and Truong Vinh Thanh (Hung Dai Lam).
The love story between Ip Man and his wife is very touching.
Ip Man is a martial arts master but is not dry or rigid.
More importantly, the love story of Ip Man and his wife not only does not dilute the film’s flow, but also helps develop the drama for the final act of the work.
A perfect ending for the audience
When talking about Ip Man, it is impossible not to mention the beautiful martial arts action scenes.
Donnie Yen continues to show impressive performance with increasingly perfect Wing Chun techniques.
Contributing to the effectiveness of the action sequences is the excellent cinematography and sound production.
The acting of the cast is also commendable.
The system of supporting characters of Ip Man 3 has been almost completely renewed.
Ip Man 3 is the perfect ending to the legendary story of the greatest Wing Chun master Ip Man.
The film is currently being shown in theaters nationwide.
