Starring Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung, the film won the Best Picture award at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards on April 19, 2009. A very important clue in Ip Man is the fights between Ip Man and the Japanese invaders. In the film, plots like Ip Man alone defeated ten Japanese martial artists from a martial club and he beat General Miura despite his personal safety would definitely stir up the patriotism of the general audience. Heart-stirring plots in films like Fist of Legend, Fearless (Huo Yuanjia) etc have also reflected in Ip Man.Though Donnie Yen had never practiced Wing Chun Kuen before, his understanding to it was really amazing.

The film reunites most of the original cast but is officially not a sequel to the 2008 film Painted Skin. Director:Wuershan After Painted Skin: The Resurrection premiered in China, critics praised two leading actresses, especially Zhao Wei's breakthrough performance.[3] Audience named Zhao "the most beautiful scarred woman ever seen". Derek Elley from Film Business Asia wrote:"The result is a very entertaining, slightly over-long costume fantasy whose performances and sheer technique carry a script that often punches above its weight."..." Zhou, who since Suzhou River (1999) has almost had the Mainland patent on sexually ambiguous, seductive roles, dominates the movie, as a demon who wants to be human even if it means pain. But she gets a run for her money from Zhao, who's developing much more screen gravitas in her mid-30s and is better directed here than in her previous female-warrior role in Jingle Ma's Mulan (2009). Zhao's scenes with Zhou are much more emotionally resonant…- 0

The Founding of a Republic-建国大业
The Founding of a Republic(建国大业Jiànguó Dàyè ) The Founding of a Republic(建国大业Jiànguó Dàyè ) is a 2009 Chinese historical film commissioned by China's film regulator and made by the state-owned China Film Group to mark the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. The film was directed by Huang Jianxin and China Film Group head Han Sanping. Although the film premiered on September 17, 2009 in mainland China, it has yet to receive publicity in Taiwan.

While the Taiwan government has asserted that it has no plans to actively censor the film, it has yet to be released because Taiwan's 2009 annual quota of 10 mainland films was already reached. The film retells the tale of the Communist ascendancy and triumph, and has a star-studded cast including Andy Lau, Ge You, Hu Jun, Leon Lai, Zhang Ziyi, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Zhao Wei, and directors… -
