You can conquer your enemies, but you can't conquer yourself (fear in your heart)

You can conquer the enemy, but you can't conquer yourself (the fear in your heart)

Look at Bruce Lee's
points from different angles :
1. "Love", Americans preach "love", which comes from their belief: God loves the world. It's the love of his wife that makes Bruce Lee "omnipotent";

"You make me feel I can do anything!"

2. Some people say that the film shows: Bruce Lee hopes to use his kung fu to be recognized and respected by the society, so that Chinese culture can be recognized in the United States .
I don't see much of it. In fact, the Chinese have not integrated into American society until now to get the status they thought of.

3. Bruce Lee is fearful, and I suspect that's the main thing the film is trying to convey, at least I think it is.
Several of Bruce Lee's hallucinations in the film reveal that he is unable to overcome his inner fear, and that
he screams like a beast with every attack; he needs to take aspirin to calm his inner fear (of failure).
In the end, he ended his life due to an overdose.

PS: In fact, fear is something that humans (even all animals) can never escape from, and people will have fear because of worry about the unknown.

All animals scream when they are afraid, and when the fear cannot be eliminated, they will collectively fall into a nameless frenzy; in
"Revelation", the father of the Mayan Tiger Claw said to him: "Fear is a disease, once conquered by him , it will crawl into your soul and sully your inner peace..."

When a person is afraid, he will curl up and hide in a corner;
when a nation is afraid, he will build the Great Wall and close the country; People sacrifice "gods";

people need to use the outside world to overcome their fears, such as (various) beliefs!
People believe in God and heaven, and they will eliminate the fear of death; with faith, the Communists will die heroically as they see death.
Americans believe that "love conquers all", "love is a belief"... The

only way to overcome fear is to think that you are nothing and nothing.
Human life - like a drop of water, when the sun rises, it disappears without a trace;
why can Buddhism ascend to immortals? Because they believe in nihilism, "Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a stage. Originally, there is nothing but dust everywhere", hehe.

    It is indeed a bit difficult to condense the legendary life of Bruce Lee into 2 hours, but he has made a great contribution to the export of Chinese culture. Although the process is quite difficult, the male protagonist does not look too much like the action scenes and is a little naive, but it does not prevent it from being a standard. I don't remember the episode of Breakfast at Tiffany's in this work and the California dream

    The protagonist is okay. . .

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story quotes

  • Principal Elder: [Bruce Lee drops the message the Elders sent him, interrupting their game] Bruce, I know that you like to be called Bruce. You have been charged with violating the martial arts code. We've had several complaints from Wu Zuolin and Wong Jack Man and many others. You've been teaching the gwai lo, this must stop.

    Bruce Lee: I'll teach whoever wants to learn.

    Principal Elder: Bruce, we do things differently here. One of the things we do not do is teach our secrets to white, blacks. They are the enemy.

    Bruce Lee: [Taking a moment to think on the matter] They are not the enemy. They just don't know us. We've been so closed for so long, they've never seen the real beauty of our culture. Lets show it to them.

    Principal Elder: [the Elders disagree] I'm sorry. We do not agree. You are ordered to stop teaching the gwia lo.

    Bruce Lee: Or what?

    Principal Elder: Or we will settle this by combat. Prepare yourself.

  • Bruce Lee: When I was a kid I had all these crazy ideas, I wanted to show the world the beauty of our culture, I wanted to give them a hero, but a Chinese hero, but I want something else now, I want to stop breaking my wife's heart, I want to play with my children without having to look at the clock, they're American, I need to go back to America or I lose them, if I lose them, nothing means anything
