Birth of the Dragon (2017) film notes

white director
inaccurate portrayal of bruce lee
-> shown as a cocky asshole who just wants to fight
-> idolization issues – were they really trying to make out bruce lee to be a bad guy, or were they just writing him as a human?
typical hollywood movie imo
pays homage to kung fu/bruce lee/buddy cop movies w/ it’s style choices
-> replicates those film’s formulas
focuses on the white main character instead of bruce lee or wong jack man
-> isn’t this movie supposed to be about bruce????
basically a fanfiction-made-movie
humility vs. pride, traditional vs. “modern”
lack of depth to the characters
bruce lee and the 1960’s – cultural revolution era
