The BruceLee Story
Last night I sat in at watched this movie on TV, I am not very into martial arts but I like life stories so I watched it.
Basic Intro?
It started off as BruceLee as a young boy living in china with his father and his father is teaching him how to fight and defend himself in the real world. His father had no choice but to send his son away once he was old enough in order for him to have a better life. So off he went to America where he ended up washing dishes for a living as he was seen very different by the Americans. One day as he was working out in the gym, he was spotted for his moving skills and his fighting skills and was asked to teach the people what he knows. So, he started teaching his fighting moves, it started with 2 boys, then 1 girl, then a huge class. It was this class where he met his wife ...
Advantages: Great actors, good showing of Lee's life Disadvantages: Parts altered from the truth
fame. Real efficinado's of Bruce will be bothered by the inaccuracies in the film, but on the whole most fans, and even those who have only heard of BruceLee, will find this a hugely entertaining and intriguing watch.
The movie was directed by Rob Cohen,and was written by Linda Lee-Caldwell and Robert Clouse. The movie runs for 119 minutes and has a 15 certificate in the UK. The DVD is available on Play.com for £5 delivered, a must for any BruceLee fan!

As a documentary of BruceLee's life, this movie probably rates no higher than a C (just take a look at the "goofs" list), but as a testament to BruceLee's charisma and will to succeed, it's a solid A. The filmmakers and Bruce's widow, Linda Lee Caldwell, clearly want to portray him in a positive light, but even if you look past the hokier fictional scenes, there's still a remarkable life to witness. Jason Scott Lee and Lauren Holly are an appealing couple, and the supporting cast is solid. It's a peculiar mix: cartoonish kung-fu fight scenes, social commentary as Bruce fights racism to gain acceptance in white America, and most of all the central love story between Bruce and Linda, but together it makes for an entertaining and uplifting movie that I'm fairly certain will please just about any crowd. ...
