Ip Man 2, Image Construction, Civilian Hero, Neo-colonialism, National MentalityAbstract
The film Ip Man 2: Legend of the Grandmaster has constructed a civilian hero image – Ip Man, who would not change in poverty and hardship or surrender before despotic power, fought against the arrogant colonist boxing champion Milos and defended the dignity of the Chinese. The match between Ip Man and Milos was about justice and injustice. Colonialism has gone, but the Western countries launched neo-colonial aggression against China instead. The film also plays a dual role in constructing a new history and deconstructing the neo-colonialism. Chinese cinema must cultivate a national mentality in the context of neo-colonialism.
