"Ip Man - The Legend Is Born" Movie review (Part 1)

In this movie, they tell us about Ip Man. It is the story about how he had grown up when he was just a boy. He and his adopted brother turned to age of thirteenth and they both wanted to learn martial art so his father find them a master in the village to teach them Wing Tsun since it is a calm martial .
So his father found him a great master of Wing Tsun in the village. His father sent both of them to live in the pagoda with the master to let him teach them the martial art. But, one day, his master got a heart attack and passed away, since then, the first student that had him as master stood out to teach all of the students what he had been taught. So Ip Man put all his focus in martial art and he grew up with all of his friends in the pagoda. In a festival, He met a girl which is from a rich family and they started to like each other from then but Ip Man acted as a cold guy. He saw a group of local gangsters in the village that was bullying a girl so he stood out and fight against the gangsters to protect the girl with his friends in the pagoda. The girl that had a crush on Ip Man saved his life from a gangster that was holding up a knife and try to stab him. He finally beat all the gangsters and saved both of the girls. The "crushed girl" started to make a move on him by asking his name to thank him but he didn't answer to her and he said that she doesn't need to do that and he walked away. But his friends gave the girl Ip Man's name and also told her where he lived. So the girl started to write a letter to him and told her sister to deliver it to Ip Man but she gave to another girl also in the pagoda that also had a crush on Ip Man and so the letter never reached to his hand. And one day, he had to go to Hong Kong to study and he also met an old man and he realized that he is the son of his passed away master. So they had a test fight with each other. Eventually, Ip Man lost. So they had a little talk together and the old guy (his name is Luong Bich) had decided to teach Ip Man to use Wing Tsun freely and more flexible. It was tough for Ip Man to study university and to practising Wing Tsun. However, he finally graduated his colleague and farewell to Luong Bich before he left Hong Kong. Luong Bich also warned him that his Wing Tsun was not original Wing Tsun, he had converted it to be more flexible. However, in Wing Tsun's traditional, no student can convert the original Wing Tsun to something else.
