Ip Man 3

I don't usually watch Chinese movies but I would recommend this movie to adults, not children. Can be rather violent.

I recommend it because
-personally I like kungfu/action movies, serious ones, not those with lousy storyline...and well Ip Man is portrayed as a gentle man with 'gentle' strokes, unlike his opponent who practises the same strokes but is vicious and violent in his battles...

I parallel it with both showing the truth in life, one with love, another with aggression. 

-When the gangsters disrupt law and order at that time, Ip Man in his conversation with the policeman talked about morality and how children are watching how adults handled the situation. That was an Aha moment, so apt to what's happening in our society now. Justice needs to be upheld, everyone has a responsibility.

-The love in a marriage that stands against the trials of life. Ip Man's wife was dying of cancer. Before Ip Man knew about it, he was very busy being a hero. After he knew that his wife was dying, he spent all his time and effort on his wife, learning dancing because his wife loved it. His reputation and career were threatened but wife was number one. Wife was very supportive, died after watching him do what a man's got to do. The mutual love and sacrifices portrayed in a marriage is what makes this kungfu movie touching!
If I'm not wrong, the past two series portrayed a bit of their marriage too but this time round, it left a deep impression on me.

I know it's a movie. But movies can and do portray reality to a certain extent. 

The simplest things in life can teach us the most profound lessons.
