EEP MUN (IP MAN)

Watching chinese movies with chinese crowd & dont know even a bit in chinese is a weird experience for me last friday. This movie in particular dragged my interest because of martial arts, obviously I can’t watch movie without understanding the dialogue or story; anyway this movie carries english subtitle.

Most of the martial arts movie I watched till now used to revolve around one point (Revenge); I expected the same thing in this movie as well, but to my surprise this movie is the story of the real life legendary martial arts master eep mun famously known as Master IP.

Master IP  lived in a china town “Fo Shang” which is famous for martial arts school, teaching and people lived here practise martial arts for hobby; he is rich & best martial arts player in the town and nobody dare to fight against him or won him, Life goes pleasantly, leisure & happily.

In 1938 Japan invaded the china province and captured Fo Shang,  as a turning point Master IP residence is used as headquarters by the Japan army; he and his family pushed to poverty.

Now story revolves how he and his family survived and escaped to Hong kong.

Master IP influenced many & one of the famous person is Bruce Lee.

Donnie Yen acted as Master IP, his martial arts talent is added advantage to his acting as Master IP. Finally the ultimate goal of the movie is not to showcase the martial arts, but to highlight positive moral & principles of master IP.

Finally, I got the tickets on sunday night 10.30 show… no other chance as in singapore the movie is running full packed so I didn’t mind going @ 10.30 PM

Surya was army major and on the mission to critical rescue operation, he got the news of his father’s death; this is how the story begins and he start telling about his life, about his childhood, his school, college, first love, failure, difficult times & his coming back, all this stages are wonderfully portrayed.

In all this stages Surya dominated the screen & show us a mature acting skills. Still I don’t believe the way he came as 12th standard student it was really cool his physique, manerism & etc etc was made to believe he is really so young… hats off to surya for his physique, I believe his dedication to the project is his biggest strenght (keep it up Surya).

My favourite
I like the train sequences of Surya and Sameera, till sameera’s exit I enjoyed the movie a lot it was full of energy & full of love. I like many parts of the movie and I really felt bore in certain part of the movie, what I believe if Gautham made it less than 3 hours then it would be right formula & good as I felt more emotional because of the length. 

I ranked the song “mundhinam parthane…” in first place “nenjinil peidhidum….” in second that is before watching the movie but when I saw the picturisation of the song “nenjinil peidhidum….” it simply scored my heart.

Overall I enjoyed the movie and also felt it won’t be big hit as I can see lot of people commenting and joking some scenes & in the second half they were litrally started commenting each and every scene; so I believe it will take more time for us to understand this kind of movies & recognise it…

These are all my views and not the review, If you like Surya then you should watch this movie because the movie is full of Surya.
