I disagree, he is a man of the past, embodying values that do not exist today.

[@user-bi6po6zj1f]

@@BeKindToBirds , the values still exist they are now adapted into other things, merryweather adapted his boxing into the things bruce has said. This man was years ahead of his time for the mental awareness he had, if he still was alive the things he wouldve said would not have stopped here and it wouldve been even more years perfected. The fact that this man had an ideal that didnt even exist yet , later was adapted by not just mixed martial artists but boxers even now and to say these are things that dont exist today tells me you didnt pay attention in history class Or in life ever.

@@BeKindToBirds "the values don't exist today" they never existed you fool, not during that time, and not now. What he's speaking about transcends the superficial values of the past present and maybe even the future. It's deep and when you grasp it you can truly live your life exclusive to you and be your own person unlike any other.

This is the issue. The same happened with Christ or the Buddha. No, he is not superior, he is just human like you and that's what he was trying to say in multiple times of the interview (like the "superstar" section or the chinese vs American). He is just in a different level of consciousness, and we can all get there, but he is not superior.

I was thinking the same thing about the interviewer, but we have to keep in mind that none of us including him knew what Bruce Lee would end up becoming and how he would change the world. He was kind of flying blind. But yes, it was annoying.

Condescending? Not sure about that. Ignorant? To a degree. About Bruce and his beliefs for sure. But thats the point of the interview. To learn something from Bruce. Which I'm sure he did.

It’s so great to see someone who existed in the imagination as a mythical legend being so cool (like ray bans, never out of style), relatable as any legend could ever be and generous with his philosophy, skills and humour. Anytime I feel like I’m not facing the day like I could I’ll just check in with a BL interview and I’m alright. Thanks Mister Lee for being here for a while.

[@MundiaKamau]

Your last sentence i.e. "Thanks Mister Lee for being here for a while," reminds me of the 2018 documentary "Quincy" on legendary American music producer Quincy Jones. In it, Quincy Jones, in an interview to Oprah Winfrey, states that he isn't done yet with producing music, and if anything, was intending to get better at it, so much so, that when his time on this earth was over, the generations that would come after us would still know that "he came through here," on the strength of the quality of work he intended to leave behind.

Everyone is so focused on the interviewer or his behavior they miss the subtle greatness of Bruce Lee. There should be an entire thread discussing things like the way he communicates with his eyes and movement of his hands, it's quite fascinating. You guys are what Bruce would call "Moon Pointers." Point to the moon and you will miss all the glory.

[@kinghaney]

I agree, and I understand the reference you are making, but you are a little off. See, Bruce says in Enter the Dragon (I am paraphrasing here): say you're pointing at the moon. If you focus on your finger, you will miss all of the glory, like you pointed out. However, if you focus on the moon (your tasks/others) instead of your finger (yourself), you will notice all of the glorious things life has to offer. I loved that you pointed out the "Moon Pointers" quote, and I just wanted to help you a little bit. Have a nice day, my friend.

Found this video after hearing about Tarantino defending his portrayal of Bruce Lee as arrogant in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, despite Lee's family being upset about it. After seeing this video, I would agree with Lee's family. I don't see arrogance at all. In fact Tarantino, if anything, is the arrogant one. What's also crazy (and some people have already commented on it) is how these two really do seem like they're from different eras. The interviewer's presentation and style is rigid and contrived, which was typical of many shows/talk shows of that era, and Bruce Lee speaks as if he's talking to someone today. Bruce Lee is very articulate, thoughtful, and smart. Very much ahead of his time, and died much too young.

Like if they're in a crying scene, crying way too dirty making way too loud a noise, overall spoiling the cinematography in a way. It is natural that that's the way people would behave.
