\nThe art above is a rarely seen, vintage Bruce Lee painting by Paul Gulacy.\u00a0 I wanted to post this today for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0It’s a cool piece of art that I think many of you will dig.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Bruce Lee has been in the news quite a bit lately due to his portrayal in Quentin Tarintino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Many people have gotten upset because in OUATIH, they believe that Bruce Lee comes off as arrogant and it appears that Brad Pitt’s character gets the best of Lee in a fight.\u00a0 Initially, I felt that the scene was disrespectful to Bruce Lee, but as I thought about it a bit more I came to the following conclusions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In the movie the scene in question unfolds as a memory by Brad Pitt’s character.\u00a0 Of course Pitt’s character is going to remember things that put him in a better light than the Bruce Lee character.\u00a0 That’s human nature.<\/li>\n
    2. The movie isn’t a documentary — think about how the movie ended.\u00a0 Obviously Tarantino took a lot of liberties and his portrayal of Lee was one of them.<\/li>\n
    3. \u00a0The fact that so many people have objected to Tarantino’s portrayal of Lee shows that this film isn’t going to harm Bruce Lee’s legacy in the least.<\/li>\n
    4. I liked Tarantino’s OUATIH.\u00a0 I am a huge fan of Bruce Lee.\u00a0 Nothing has changed that.\u00a0 Not even Brad Pitt’s character’s memory of his fight with a fictionalization of Bruce Lee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
