Having totally outdated from catching movies at the cinema..I finally got to watch IP Man last night….Note that the last movie I watched was Bedtime Stories, (hmm din seem that long right? Wrong!) Before Bedtime Stories, my last movie was Don’t Mess With The Zohan. How pathetic am I? Poor thing. Need to be catching movies often since now on…arghh

Okay anyway, I was at 1B last night to watch IP Man with sis Cindy & bro-in-law Ahfad & friend Colin.. Ahfad & Cindy were nice enough to ask me to go watch IP Man though they have seen it before with my parents.. (They double-date la kunun..cis)… But anyway, now I understand why Cindy said she couldn’t use the right words to describe the movie in her blog..Even I now am still thinking about the movie…the emotions showed by the actors, the storyline that showcased the Legend Yip Man and how the Chinese had to survive during the war with the Japanese.. and of course not forgetting the KungFu martial arts showed. The movie really touched me. Trust me guys, if you’re into fighting actions and all, this is the one for you. For emotional people such as me, tears dropped for like, few times? so do watch this.. Eventhough Cindy had told me earlier on and even during the movie on what was gonna happen, I still cried. HmMmMmm….

There were of course really funny scenes that really cracked me up. Scenes that made me laugh really made me laugh like nobody’s business, and scenes that made me cry really tore me apart.  The main actor Donnie Yen’s character really showed how rational, how he’s such a gentleman and a loyal husband who respects his wife so much that it makes you wanna hug him through the screen this. (Ok that sounded a bit weird, but u gotta watch to it to know what I mean..for girls la…) I have been a fan of the main actor Donnie Yen for quite sometime, plus oh so gorgeous Simon Yam (though he’s a bit “aged” ody but yes I still love himm)… and some hot looking Japanese guy who I swear really looks like Wentworth Miller.

The downside of the movie? ITS NOT ENOUGH!!!! I wished that they could’ve potrayed the Legend’s whole life in the movie, in which I know is impossible, cause knowing that making an epic 1 hour and 45 mins movie on a Legend is not possible. There is so much more to this legend and his Kung Fu martial arts that needs to be honoured…

Okay, I’d better stop here. Or else I’ll be yapping and yapping awayyy… For those who haven’t seen the movie, do watch it and you wont feel your time and money been wasted at all..  Do watch it. This trailer below shows how Donnie Yen got mad by watching another Sifu who had to fight the Japanese to win a bag of rice got shot on the head eventhough he had admitted defeat, plus another man who had previously died during the fight too that had forced him to use his kungfu to teach the Japanese a lesson. This battle is supposed to be a one on one fight and if the chinese wins, he would get a bag of rice. But notice when Donnie Yen went in, he challenged 10 guys to fight with him and in the end, he didnt take any of the bags of rice that he deserved, instead took the potato that he gives to his son everyday and the blood spat bag of rice to be given to the passed Sifu’s family.

Do enjoy..
