I'm almost in shock at how brutally uninformative and unoriginal this documentary was, but the real tragedy is how the director uses Lee's life to make a trendy statement. The doc returns to the ideas of wokism ad nauseam. The major topic in the doc is race, however the director never even tells you about Bruce's real name, but we get a detailed look at race in America. Yay us.
In fact, if Bruce Lee thought about race as much as the director implies, it seems he would have written about it. But, it didn't. Or, at least we aren't treated to any examples of how Bruce Lee felt about race, or racism in American. In fact, Bruce Lee seems to have loved American, such that he was flown back to America to be buried. He married a white woman! Was Lee held back as a film star in Hollywood due to race? Yes. But, I'm not even entirely sure Bruce Lee didn't use that to strengthen his resolve, rather than to resolve to a sense of victimhood.
There's still a Bruce Lee documentary to be done.
