Ip Man (2008)

Ip Man is a 2008 Hong Kong biographical martial arts film based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and teacher of Bruce Lee. The film focuses on events in Ip's life that supposedly took place in the city of Foshan during the Sino-Japanese War.

The "real narrative" of Yip Man, grandmaster of Wing Chun and master of cinema star Bruce Lee, is told in Ip Man. Despite claims of frugality based on actual events, the film is compelling. The reproduction of ancient Shanghai appears so real that it makes you feel like you're there. Donnie Yen is outstanding as the calm, peace-loving martial artist who refuses to provide instruction and spars privately with the local masters to save them the humiliation of being humiliated in public. And, as expected, the action moments are stunning.
