"The Raptor Crosses the River" is a classic movie written, directed and acted by Bruce Lee. The most classic part of the film is undoubtedly the end of the film. The place of the ending duel is the Colosseum. In history, the Colosseum is a place where gladiators and animals fight, and is a place for audiences and nobles to entertain. They treat gladiators as animals and lock them in In the prison, fighting with tigers and lions, and there is a cat watching humans fighting in the end of the film. There is a clear contrast in the movie. In the duel at the end of the film, the confrontation between the roles played by Bruce Lee-Tang Long and the roles played by Luo Lishi is quite a "master showdown, sympathy and sympathy". The duel between them is not a conflict of victory or defeat, nor a conflict of interests, but a confrontation between dignity. In the duel at the end of the film, Bruce Lee himself partially explained his understanding of fighting. Bruce Lee believes that true fighting is not about the martial arts faction, nor is it a question of victory or defeat, but rather the process of fighting. Winning or losing is only a result. The important thing is to fight with your opponents with all your strength during the fighting, which is to truly express yourself. At the same time, he is respecting his opponent. So Bruce Lee's understanding of fighting is that fighting is a way of communication, but a cruel way. Fighting brings people closer, but ironically, this method is also ruthless. At the end of the film, Luo Lishi gradually got disadvantaged due to excessive tension in the duel, until his arm and knee joints were broken, Tang Long signaled that he did not need to continue fighting because his opponent was disabled, and Luo Lishi still stood up and tried to continue. Fight with Tang Long. In fact, he didn’t want to continue fighting with Tang Long, but he was begging for death, because he was crippled, it was only a shame to live like this; in the end, Luo Lishi shouted and rushed towards Tang Long, asking Tang Long to kill him, and finally Tang Long had no choice but to perfect him. Then the camera is a close-up of Bruce Lee's face, the look after killing him is a kind of helplessness. In the end, Tang Long put his clothes on him, to show that people should not die like animals, but also to show respect as his opponent. In this film, Bruce Lee directly explained his understanding of martial arts fighting and his helplessness in facing reality. Guns appear more than once in the film. This is Bruce Lee’s contradiction to reality: martial arts will also face decline in the age of modern weapons. At that time, the content and fighting scenes of this film were completely beyond that era. In that era, there had never been an action film like Bruce Lee in the world. At that time, it was unique. The action movies and kung fu movies we watch today are from Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee's personal charm lies in the fact that he is a character with the ancient characteristics of martial arts, but it is a pity that he died young and Jeet Kune Do was not perfect. Bruce Lee once said that naming Jeet Kune Do was a regretful decision. Jeet Kune Do is not a martial arts school, but just a title. "There is no strongest martial art, only the strongest martial artist." The practice of martial arts lies in the individual, not the type of martial arts or the martial arts school.
"The inability is the law, and the infinity is the finite." This sentence itself is philosophical, that is, how you understand this sentence is reasonable. The key is whether you can get more inspiration from it and make it become Your own things, this is the basic theory of Jeet Kune Do, so Jeet Kune Do has no fixed routines and is not restricted by rules, just like water.
Although Bruce Lee is known to the world as a martial artist, he has always been a philosopher throughout his life. If Bruce Lee does not die, he should become a filmmaker similar to a philosopher.
