Ip Man 4: The Finale


Synopsis: Ip Man’s life remains unchanged after his wife’s death, but he and his son are slowly drifting apart. To seek a better future for his son, Ip Man decides to travel to the U.S. only to find the stable, peaceful life abroad is only skin deep. Underneath lies a deep rooted racial discrimination that is far worse than he has expected. Ip Man re-examines his position and ponders on the reason he took up martial arts in the beginning. [Source: Golden Village]


For those who are still in doubt, this is really it - the finale. Overall, the show is pretty intense and exciting with all the fight scenes. You will literally feel the pain with the movie characters getting beaten up, with all the bone fracturing sound effects. One theme that resonates throughout the film is the racism of the Americans. Not sure if it reflects the situation at that point in time or the movie director is trying to make a dig at the USA president, who is well known for his white supremacy view. Overall a good movie to catch though.

Rate: 7/10
