![]() He left for Hong Kong a few years after WW2 not in the middle of it as this film presents. Also the film claims that he refused to teach anybody but that is also not true. The story line of this film is invented as historical accounts show Yip Man to have been a police officer in the time frame this film covers, not staying at home and only practicing kung fu as depicted here. Donnie Yen portrays the master with intense reserve and is possibly the best acting in his career. Every Wing Chun instructor today tries to make a lineage connection to Yip Man to legitimize their teaching so he is a very important figure in Kung Fu. Excellent direction, photography and set design enliven this account of Wing Chun instructor Yip Man's life before he moved to Hong Kong.
