为什么香港暴乱者试图禁播《叶问4》？

Why are Hong Kong rioters trying to ban Ip Man 4?

答主：Vincent Ou, Company Secretary (2014–present)

Because they do not admit they are Chinese. They think they are some sort of hybrid British American Asians called Hongkongers.
因为他们不承认他们是中国人。他们认为他们是某种叫香港人英美混血亚裔。

The main reason is because the the star of the movie Donnie Yen & Danny Chan as well as its producer Raymond Wong are pro-China. The storyline pisses of a lot HK protestors as it put a Chinese man against American and made some Americans look bad. A lot of the protestors hero worship Americans and even consider Trump as some sort of democratic freedom idol.
最主要的原因是主演这部电影的明星甄子丹和陈国坤，以及制作人黄百强都是亲中派。它的故事情节惹毛了许多香港抗议者，因为它把一个中国人放在与美国人对抗的位置，并且让一些美国人看起来很坏。大量的抗议者把美国人当英雄崇拜，甚至认为特朗普是某种民主自由的偶像。

There’s no doubt the main purpose of the storyline is to promote Chinese patriotism. It is no different from all the earlier Ip Man movies. It is also similar to a lot of Hollywood war movies where American patriotism are heavily promoted.
毫无疑问，故事情节的主要目的是推广中国的爱国主义。它和其他早期的叶问系列电影没有区别，和大量浓墨重彩地推销美国爱国主义的好莱坞电影也很相似。

Even though Ip Man really exist, the story is purely a work of fiction. As a kung-fu movie, it is not too bad but to me it is the weakest among the 4 Ip Man movies. There’s basically nothing else to tell and it was more or less a recycled story from Ip Man 2. However, nobody watch Ip Man movies for its storyline. People watch it because of its kick-ass action scenes. This why their protest failed miserably as Ip Man 4 top the box office in some major Chinese movie market like China and Malaysia even though it did not do well in HK.
尽管叶问真实存在，但电影完全是虚构作品。作为一部功夫片，它还算凑合，但对我来说，这是叶问四部曲中最不行的一部。它基本上没什么新意，或多或少是叶问2故事的重演。不过没有人会冲着故事情节去看叶问，人们所以去看叶问，都是为了强大的动作场景。这使得他们的抗议悲惨地失败了，尽管在香港的票房不佳，但叶问4仍在一些诸如中国大陆和马来西亚等以华人为主的电影市场成功登顶。
