IP MAN!



IP Man..... it's the latest martial art movie on the screen. Initially I really thought it's pronounced as I, P Man or orang IP =p. Internet protocol man LOL. Ok he's called Ip Man. Ip is pronounced as Yip and the Man is something like Mun. The movie is about the person's life. He's the grandmaster of "wing chun" kungfu. He started to teach wing chun kungfu to alot of people and the kungfu is still being practised until today. And the most significant of all he's the master of Bruce Lee. Yes, Bruce Lee that Jeet Kun Do founder.

The movie has a good balance between martial art and also personal life of the guy. It's not like some certain movie where it just focuses on the martial art i.e fearless. Donny Yen do show some great kungfu in every movie that he acted so far. This movie is no exception as well. He played Ip Man's role very well IMO.

All I can advise is to go watch this movie. It's my best chinese movie for the year and certainly the last chinese movie that I'll watch this year. What a way to end the year!
