I watch "Jingwumen"

After reading "Jingwumen", I read some information about Bruce Lee. Very subversive.

The Chinese-American, first and foremost part of Hollywood. In his entire life, he did not accept any formal fight. That is to say, his fame is mainly due to his movie image: 1. He has always played the incarnation of justice 2. Represented the anti-racism force in the United States at that time 3. Followed the trend of rebellion against authority in the 1970s 4. Has His own philosophy (he majored in philosophy in college).

The above four points have nothing to do with populism. This Hollywood movie star is far from the "Bruce Bruce" that many people imagine. He is not Chen Zhen.

In addition, even in the movie, Bruce Lee is only a special actor, there is excessive performance. In the most important scenes, his expression is extremely exaggerated, even to the point of self-absorption. This is why people only remember "Bruce Bruce", but forget who the film director is. Of course, this kind of self-absorption is hard to classify as "can't act." Rather, it is a practice based on a high-level understanding of performance. However, it is difficult to say how many audiences can accept it.

For example, with regard to his films, posterity only remembers large body movements and screams. This is something to ponder.
