Be water
Recently it is being screened on TV a commercial including a Bruce Lee interview
Viewing this commercial, films about martial arts have come to my mind.
I liked them very much when I was younger. Now I like them too, but years ago I really liked them more. I remember there were a lot of films about it, like Karate Kid saga, which was starred by Noriyuki Morita. These years this kind of films were in fashion, there were a lot of them to choose between, Chuck Norris', Jean Claude Van Damme's, and several movies whose main characters were kids who knew martial arts. Martial arts TV series appeared too, like Kung Fu, with David Carradine.
Bruce Lee became a very popular celebrity, above all because of his early and strange death, also because in USA, people used to watch boxing battles, but not martial art battles.
Bruce Lee not only was a martial artist, but a philosopher (he studied in Washington University, in Seattle) and became an actor. 'Fist of Fury', 'Way of the Dragon' and 'Enter the Dragon' were his most famous films, 'Enter the Dragon' was screened after he died and was very succesful.
Bruce Lee has been considered one of the strongest men, he was very strong but very agile too, he could knock down a person who was twice his weight with a lateral kick. He even created his own style, called 'Jeet Kune Do'.
Unluckily, when he was 32, he died.
I like martial arts very much, not only because of the art but the philosophy it holds.
Nowadays, maybe Jackie Chan's films are a rebirth in martial arts films fashion again.
