This film is about Bruce Lee’s development in the United States at the time and he returned to Hong Kong with his wife and children. Although its story is very simple as a touchstone, it tells the story of the male protagonist under the leadership of his third uncle to seek a job in Thailand and work hard at the ice rink. When encountering unrighteous things, many brothers were brutally murdered. With a good kung fu, he did not listen to his mother's instruction and waited for death, but resolutely Yang Shan to get rid of evil. As his first Kung Fu movie, it was extraordinary, and it was so popular that he was pleasantly surprised!
Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940-July 20, 1973), formerly known as Li Zhenfan, was born in San Francisco, California, USA, under the tutelage of Ye Wen, and his ancestral home was Jun'an Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. He was a pioneer in martial arts revolution and martial arts fighters. Home, martial arts philosopher, father of MMA, master of martial arts, pioneer of kung fu movies and founder of Jeet Kune Do, Chinese martial arts film actor, the first global promoter of Chinese Kung Fu, and the first Chinese protagonist in Hollywood. His four and a half films in Hong Kong broke multiple records three times. Among them, "The Raptors Crossing the River" broke the Asian film box office record, and the global box office of "Dragon Fighting Tiger", which cooperated with Hollywood, reached 230 million US dollars.
From the fact that Bruce Lee opened the "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum" in 1962, created Jeet Kune Do in 1967, and died in Hong Kong on July 20, 1973, when Bruce Lee was only 33 years old, how could a young man have such brilliant achievements? Woolen cloth? This has to be talked about since he was a child. He enrolled in DXN School in Hong Kong in 1949, and then transferred to La Salle College and St. Francis Xavier’s College. In 1954, Bruce Lee learned Wing Chun under Ye Wen as his teacher, and set up a wooden stake at home to face each other every day. Stakes practice diligently. In addition, he also practiced Tanglang Boxing, Hong Boxing, Shaolin Boxing, Poke Foot Boxing, Festival Boxing, Baihe Boxing and other types of boxing, which laid a solid foundation for his own Jeet Kune Do later. In 1957, he defeated Charlie Owen, the champion of the past three years, at St Francis College, and won the Intercollegiate Western Boxing Junior Championship.
On March 29, 1958, he was transferred to the High School of St. Francis Xavier’s College in Hong Kong and won the championship of the Hong Kong Cha Cha Dance Open. Due to frequent fighting with others, his academic performance was poor. When Bruce Lee was young, his father wanted to make his son strong. When he was 7 years old, he taught Tai Chi to practice. At ten o'clock in the evening on April 29, 1959, he bid farewell to his family and went to the United States to study. From September 3 to December 2, 1960, he entered the Edison Technical School in Seattle. In 1960, Bruce Lee entered the University of Washington in Seattle, where he majored in drama and also studied philosophy and psychology. After entering the university, in addition to studying, he focused on studying martial arts.
He organized a "Chinese Kung Fu Team" in the school, often training and performing on campus, won the praise of teachers and students. Bruce Lee is an all-rounder, in addition to proficient in various martial arts, he is also good at various equipment such as long sticks, short sticks and nunchakus. In order to promote Chinese martial arts, during his second year of college, Bruce Lee rented a corner of the parking lot on the campus. As a martial arts hall, he hung up the sign of "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum". He is more profound in his leg skills. In 1961, the "Zhenfan Kungfu Dojo" was set up on the campus. In order to improve his martial arts level, Bruce Lee not only studied Chinese boxing, but also studied Western boxing, learning footwork, bodywork, boxing and training methods.
In April 1962, 21-year-old Bruce Lee taught Chinese Kungfu in Seattle. Seattle established the "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum". The Zhenfan Guoshu Museum he founded has gradually flourished and opened martial arts branches in Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles and other places. Apprentice. In 1963, the only "Basic Chinese Boxing Technique" completed during his lifetime was published at his own expense. On October 5th, Kung Fu performance was listed as a performance project for the University Open Day for the first time.
In the summer of 1964, Bruce Lee closed the "Seattle Zhenfan Guoshu Museum" and left Seattle for Broadway on July 19. Attended the "International Karate Championships" for performance on August 2. On August 3, "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum" officially opened classes. Seeing the introduction on Baidu Encyclopedia not only made me feel that Bruce Lee’s success is inevitable: his father was an actor, and he participated in performances since he was a child. The power of genes allowed him to complete the major in drama in university and also to study philosophy. His martial arts are more fully integrated, deep in his heart, and apply what he has learned.
As the first waver of the golden generation in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee was undoubtedly the first person to have a strong reputation in the world. His success also pointed out a feasible path for the later generations. Unlike the later Jackie Chan, his achievements It is not limited to movies. Bruce Lee is more of a cultural phenomenon. People will imitate him involuntarily. In the past, there was a video of a pupil being gang-beated by a group of children on the Internet. In it, he used Bruce Lee's "weird call". This trick.
In the movie "Big Brother Tangshan", Bruce Lee didn't make any strange calls. He only used his piercing eyes and simple moves to knock down the opponent without two punches. Although it feels a little surreal, but carefully observe that the parts he shot are in the more critical places, such as the head, neck, and heart, so it works. I have read countless action movies and martial arts movies since I was a child, but I was very addicted to this kung fu movie by Bruce Lee. This is the real martial arts movie. "Wumen" and "Raptors Crossing the River" also feel better than each one!
In "Jing Wu Men", there are more action scenes, there are strange screams: "I fight... I fight...", there are also cool and handsome nunchakus that compete with Japanese and Russians, but also watch Got blood boiled over. In "The Raptors Crossing the River", Bruce Lee directed and acted and edited himself, so he was very relaxed. There were many funny and humorous sections in the film. While leading the audience to appreciate the Italian landscape, he was very happy to see him. How to deal with the Italian gangster, show off the strong figure of the inverted triangle, use the nunchakus with both hands at the same time, and the final matchup with the American karate champion Luo Lishi is also wonderful.
As a kung fu star Bruce Lee’s real own works are limited, only three and a half, if you connect with "Xiao Lu Xiang", it can only be regarded as four and a half, and the understanding of kung fu and martial arts, "Death Game" may be Bruce Lee really wanted to experiment with a movie, but unfortunately he died before he could finish it. The deceased can’t come back to life, and life will continue. Linda still has to move on after being sad. At this time, Bruce Lee’s apprentice Tom Bully found Linda and expressed the hope to take good care of them for Master. Fifteen years have passed. With the grief and loneliness of time, Linda finally accepted the apprentice's request and married and lived together.
I thought Linda could finally start a new life steadily, but what Linda herself did not expect was that after two years of marriage, their marriage ended in failure, and the two broke up unhappy. But things are far from that simple. Tom Bully published a book on the cause of Bruce Lee's death by virtue of being Linda's ex-husband. This move is really chilling. Now Linda is seventy-four years old and lives in Seattle with her daughter. Her daughter founded the "Bruce Lee Memorial Hall" there for fans to miss and learn martial arts.
Everyone knows that Bruce Lee’s apprentices are many, from various races all over the world, learning his inchquan and nunchakus. Let us first understand the inch boxing: this is a boxing method evolved from the "long bridge force" of Wing Chun, and it is a particularly advanced skill in Jeet Kune Do. It is said that Bruce Lee's "inch fist" hits the "inch Jin" that can punch an adult man weighing more than 75 kilograms several meters away. According to the principles of physics, the force generated by an object after acceleration is the greatest. And Cunquan is based on this principle, in a very close distance from the object, the muscles suddenly contract, and the power of the whole body is punched forward with amazing power.
Then there is the nunchaku: Bruce Lee’s first public use of the nunchaku should be in the Hollywood series "The Green Hornet", an American martial arts book, once introduced the power of the nunchaku: Waving double A section of the knot stick can produce 1,600 pounds of force, and it only takes 8 and a half pounds to break a person's bones. And Bruce Lee, as the person who made the nunchaku superb, the power of using the nunchaku should be far greater than the average person. Speaking of nunchakus since they were used on fire by Bruce Lee, because too many Americans imitated them, their use in fights was banned by legislation until 2018, but the police like to use them conveniently and effectively.
Therefore, watching Bruce Lee's movies does not require special effects, does not need Avia, and does not need to be a stand-in, which can make the audience very enjoyable. His plays in the United States have also been well received, but why does he go back to Hong Kong to develop? It turned out that in the United States in the 1960s, racial discrimination was still quite serious. White people dominated the direction of the film and television industry. The audience still could not accept people with oriental faces as the protagonists of the movie. Therefore, although Bruce Lee had a handsome face and excellent skills, he still failed. Make a big break in Hollywood. In the film and television series he participated in in Hollywood, in addition to the male second role in the TV series "The Green Hornet", most of the other supporting roles were few guest appearances, such as Wu Zhi, etc. This made Bruce Lee very upset and distressed.
He brought his wife and children back to Hong Kong to develop. His wife, Linda Emory (Linda): is a white American girl of Irish descent. She was a classmate of Bruce Lee at the University of Washington. She joined the "Zhen Fan Guoshu Museum" in 1963 and became Bruce Lee's One of the early female disciples. In 1965, Linda gave birth to Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee named her son Li Guohao. In April 1969, Bruce Lee's beloved daughter Li Xiangning was born.
On July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee died suddenly at the home of actress Ding Pei. According to the information released by the hospital, he died of "brain edema". In a recent interview with Bruce Lee's wife, she revealed that he had a headache the day before his death. The phenomenon shows that he did not pay attention to overdrawing his body too much. In order to strengthen his body, he also used electrical stimulation, which led to the tragedy. Ding Pei and Bruce Lee have not known each other for a long time. Seeing her looks and dress, she likes to draw thick eyeliner. She has a bit of pretense. She has very short hair cut and pungent. In the second year after Bruce Lee’s death, she actually released a third-level movie title. Called "Bruce Lee and Me": Her intentions are wrong!
And the heroine Miao Kexiu, who has worked with Bruce Lee in three movies, is completely of two types. She is handsome and intelligent, and has big talking eyes. Now in her 60s, she is still single enough to show that she is a strong, Independent and self-confident woman, could it be that she rejected Bruce Lee who had a family back then, and he indulged himself in revenge against her in angrily?
In October 1973, the tragic documentary "The Life and Death of Bruce Lee" was born. The people who came to mourn are really crowded. It tells through precious photos that Bruce Lee’s father is a famous Cantonese opera performer and cultivated his talent for acting since childhood. , And Bruce Lee likes martial arts since he was a child. He used his teacher to learn martial arts to lay the foundation of kung fu in middle school. He studied philosophy in the United States and he developed a good habit of thinking and research, which naturally formed his own Jeet Kune Do, kung fu movies and fans. All over the world.
In 1988, Linda remarried and divorced Bruce Lee’s friend and student, author Tom Brick, in 1991. Linda remarried to stock broker Bruce Cardwell (the same English name as Bruce Lee). Their two children, daughters who inherited their father and brother’s business, sang and acted in Hollywood, and were married; in 1993, when their son Li Guohao was filming the film "The Crow" in North Carolina, USA, he was shot by a prop gun with a point of 4.4 caliber. The real bullet hit the abdomen and died unfortunately. He was only 28 years old. This is really weird, it is incredible!
Almost all of Bruce Lee's theories and methods of Wing Chun were taught by Huang Shunliang. In addition, he has practiced Hongquan, Baihequan, Gongliquan, Cai Lifo, Tai Chi, Tan leg, Shaolinquan, Poke foot, Jiequan and other types of boxing. In 1979, the Los Angeles City Government of the United States designated the opening day of the remake version of "Game of Death" on June 8 as "Bruce Lee Day." In 1993, the United States issued a commemorative banknote for the 20th anniversary of the death of Luggage Xiaolong, and Bruce Lee's commemorative star emblem was placed on Hollywood Boulevard. In the same year, he was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" by the Hong Kong Film Awards.
In November 1998, he was awarded the "Martial Arts Film Superstar Award" by the Chinese Wushu Association to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee's martial arts is highly proficient in philosophy and good at summarizing and analyzing. Here are ten famous words he said before his death:
The first sentence "Death is only the end of one process and the beginning of another process. Only when you are not afraid of death can you understand the meaning of life better."
The second sentence "I dare not say that I am number one in the world, but I will never admit that I am number two."
The third sentence "learning Jeet Kune Do is by no means purely seeking knowledge or accumulating formal skills, but rather expressing yourself frankly."
The fourth sentence "I will not be afraid of the enemy in front of me, because there are no enemies in my eyes, and they will not upset me. I have been fully prepared before the fight, and there is no room for negotiation, baby. Unless you are in Killed me before."
The fifth sentence "The truly successful warrior is actually just an ordinary person, but he has laser-like concentration."
The sixth sentence "I would rather starve to death than sell myself!"
The seventh sentence "Don't think, but feel."
The eighth sentence "Forget about winning or losing, forget about glory and pain, let the opponent scratch your skin, and you fight back with a punch. Let the opponent fight back with a punch, and you break his bones; let the opponent break your bones, And you want his life! Don't think about retreating safely, without turning back, and seeing death as home."
The ninth sentence "If you want to be immortal after death, you must first live wonderfully."
The tenth sentence "I am a martial artist first and then an actor."
This year marks the 48th anniversary of Bruce Lee’s death. He must have never thought that his influence would only increase: Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of Bruce Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood caused controversy. His daughter Li Xiangning claimed that Quentin "made Bruce Lee into Arrogant bastard, frustrating." Later, Quentin responded publicly. On the one hand, he said that Bruce Lee's arrogance was well-founded, and on the other hand, he said that the film had the power to make up the plot and he was unwilling to modify the Chinese side and withdraw the file. Former NBA legend and film critic Karim Abdul-Jabbar couldn’t stand it anymore. He published a review article through The Hollywood Reporter, saying: “Bruce Lee is my buddy, Quentin’s movies don’t respect him. ". Is he a good director who makes fun of deceased people, gains eyeballs, and disrespects facts? From the interviews with Bruce Lee, we can see that his thinking is very quick, his English is fluent, and he is a very smart person. He believes: "Kungfu should be a combination of static and static in movement, and the state should be unnatural and natural. Natural and unnatural is yin and yang. To train any part of the body, the ultimate meaning of martial arts is to express oneself faithfully. Infinite is limited is the concept of Jeet Kune Do.” When the radio host asked the American Bruce Lee One question: "Is he American or Chinese?" He replied: "Under this sky, people are like a big family, but the members are different."
Finally, it ends with the poems written by Bruce Lee himself, and misses this legendary man with real kung fu.
"who am I"
I am a giant in the crowd,
Looking down on the heroes of the common people,
Or the mediocre generation who is closed and self-conscious?
I am an accomplished, confident gentleman,
A natural leader who responds to a hundred responses,
Still cautiously in front of strangers,
The weak at every turn?
Behind the forced smile,
Is a trembling heart,
Like a little boy lost in the dark forest.
