[QUOTE="Jiglo, post: 839131, member: 3953"] Last night I was mostly watching [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220719/]Ip Man (2008) - IMDb[/url] Based on the true story of Yip Man - founder of Wing Chun, who later went on to become Bruce Lee's master. I don't watch a lot of martial arts movies, so when I do I make sure they're good ones first. Whereas The Raid was an excellent full on assault of the senses with non stop fight action, this film is at a more sedate pace showing a wealthy respectable kung fu master who wishes to live in peace, much like Caine in the tv series Kung Fu, but due to Yip Man living on Martial Arts Street where other masters teach their pupils, he's often challenged by other masters in private to assess their skills, until one day a rogue bunch of outsiders move into the town causing trouble amongst the other masters and he's then forced to bring his reputation out into the mainstream. Things change drastically once the Japanese invade China and his house is taken from him and his family to make way for the new Japanese headquarters and life then becomes a constant struggle of survival due to famine and poverty. The Japanese, who have a proud history of martial arts masters learn of Yip (Ip) Man and his reputation and he's seen as the man who can finally settle the score to prove that Japanese Kung Fu is better than China's. Excellent film that scores 8.1/10 on imdb. It's in Mandarin and Japanese, so it's subtitles throughout. [/QUOTE]
