With the calm and somber look on his face when under threats, Donnie Yen's portrayal of Ip Man is confident and composed with honor and dignity - an unmistakably proud Chinese spirit. All Donnie Yen's fighting actions and moves are just breath-taking, authentic and amazing. One can really depend on Donnie Yen’s Ip Man to protect one’s life. Donnie Yen is believable, giving everyone around him a sense of trust and security.

Donnie Yen has a stoic and calm charisma and portraying Ip Man as a Yong Chun (Wing Chun) Grandmaster, he brings Chinese wushu to its ultimate pinnacle.

I fell in love with Donnie Yen’s first Ip Man movie. Unwittingly, the story in Ip Man 4 becomes a heroic story standing up against the bullies, and is enjoyed by many. As the whole pandemic begins to unfold, the accusation becomes obvious - it seems that most western nations feel threatened by China and the pandemic crisis serves as a perfect excuse to banish China in order to stymie its amazing growth, albeit temporarily. Many countries, especially the western nations, have started to blame China for the crisis and demanded hefty reparation costs. And of course Ip Man wins in all the challenges.Ĭoincidentally, Ip Man 4 was released during the pandemic crisis. In the first Ip Man movie we see Ip Man fighting a Japanese Colonist Karate expert in Ip Man 2, Ip Man fights against a British boxer in Ip Man 3, again he fights a boxer, this time the American Mike Tyson and in the latest Ip Man 4, after proving himself in the San Francisco China Town with the Tai Chi Grandmaster, he stands up to the American bullies and fights a US military Karate expert. However, during the unjust process, all Chinese wushu falters Ip Man is the only one left standing and he stands up for all. All various sects would then unite and try to ward off the challenger. After he has proven himself, comes a foreign power or non-Chinese martial art challenger, challenging the Chinese wushu. Honor & Dignity Ip Man 4 is the fourth and latest sequel (most likely also the last) of the Ip Man movies by Donnie Yen.Īll Donnie Yen’s Ip Man movies take the same format – Ip Man would be challenged to prove his Yong Chun Quan (or Wing Chun Kuen in Cantonese) is just as good as the other Chinese wushu (martial arts).
