Movie review:
- Wuchak: Celebrating the Incomparable Bruce Lee and What He Represented
- Released in 1993 and directed by Rob Cohen, it stars Jason Scott Lee as a martial arts superstar who tells the story of his early life in Hong Kong and his newfound ambitions to open a martial arts school in the San Francisco area. start. Along the way he must brave many enemies, including his childhood demon.
- This is basically a rags-to-riches movie that ranks right up there with my favorite movies due to its perfect combination of dynamic, fun, and powerful drama. I haven’t seen too many martial arts movies, but “Dragon” is hands down the best of all the martial arts movies I’ve seen. It combines real life with Hollywood mythology, something that many biopics do, such as Buffalo Bill (1944) and Braveheart (1995). In this type of movie, the gist of the story is real, but it’s mixed with a lot of fictional and even fantasy elements to make the protagonist a larger-than-life hero, but also to entertain the audience, since real life is always more mundane and more mundane. Movies are made primarily to make money through entertainment rather than conveying the truth in detail.
- The movie makes it clear from the beginning that this is a fictional story, when Bruce takes on an arrogant British sailor at a ball. He threw one of them, and with the sound of the bowling ball hitting the pin, the sailor knocked down 3-4 other people (laughing). While this particular incident never happened, similar situations have happened, even to people other than Bruce. The same goes for other scenes, such as a fight in the gym, which never happened. However, similar incidents happened again.
- The film is actually a celebration of Bruce Lee, his extraordinary expertise in martial arts, and the martial arts genre he popularized. If you are looking for an authentic biography of him, check out the two biographies listed below (under “Writers”).
- Speaking of which, Dragon is partly based on the autobiography of Linda Lee Cardwell (Bruce’s wife). It was suggested that she could not possibly have been satisfied with the film because much of it was fictional (for example, Bruce did not injure his back as depicted, but rather through lifting weights). In fact, she was happy with the final photos. But why does she allow so many things to be embellished? Simple: Because these embellishments feed into Bruce Lee’s legend, she also benefits from them.
- Regardless, the show has a lot of martial arts thrills mixed in, with an exciting action scene happening about every ten minutes. The film gives the protagonist and a few others powers beyond time and space. Of course, people wouldn’t be able to do many of the things these characters perform in real life due to the limitations of Newton’s laws, but hey, it’s fun. This factor explains why “The Dragon” has been criticized for jumping from one thing to the next too quickly, never pausing long enough to evoke any strong emotional resonance or make us feel like we really know the person. beyond his proverbs. I disagree; there were several times when I felt strong emotions, such as when Bruce yelled at Linda, “You pretend to believe I can do anything,” or when he frantically screamed at her to leave the hospital room, not to mention Said he later had a serious breakdown in Hong Kong (I’ve been through some of this in my life, so I know).
- Speaking of Linda, Lauren Holly is a blast in her physical prime.
- The movie is 2 hours long and shot in California (San Francisco, Los Angeles and Valencia), China (Macau) and Hong Kong. Screenwriters: Three screenwriters wrote the screenplay based on the biographies of Linda Lee Cardwell (Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew) and Robert Krause (Bruce Lee: The Biography).
