Ip Man.4 Work -

The film does not shy away from the ugly treatment of Chinese immigrants in 1960s America. From signs reading "No Dogs or Chinese" to the military's segregation policies, the villains are unapologetically bigoted. This gives Ip Man’s violence a moral clarity missing from many modern action films.

Ip Man 4 breaks the established mold by moving the setting from Foshan or Hong Kong to San Francisco in the 1960s. This narrative decision is brilliant in its execution, placing the traditionalist Ip Man into the volatile cauldron of the American Civil Rights era. ip man.4
