That part about unnatural naturalness BLEW ME AWAY. I went back to it three times.
I love this interview. Amazed by his wisdom. He had experienced more at his young age and understood more than many could ever achieve in multiple lifetimes
Anyone who has trained very hard at something, I'm talking thousands upon thousands of hours of passionate dedication, and obtained true mastery of any single skill knows exactly what he is talking about at 12:20
@DirtyDeck I think it's disrespectful to speak down to anyone, regardless of what they look like. Just saying, this was filmed in 1971. Nobody respected Chinese actors during that era. Same thing with Jeremy Lin and the Knicks. You NEVER see an Asian person ballin' like that, so people are skeptical. The media (interviewers, reporters, etc) poke fun at him like Burton was doing to Bruce
God this interview was a bit hard to watch. Bruce Lee obviously had a lot to say about his thoughts and his perceptions on the world but the interviewer obviously focused more on the Q cards. I mean look at the very end when he asked if he thought of himself as Chinese or American. "OKAY we gotta go thanks Bruce Lee for coming here." Dude was hearing the whole time but was never listening. Kinda looked ignorant to me. But maybe it was just the time limit?
Wow amazing interview. Martial arts genius, wise, so ahead of time and died way before his time. Wish I could have met him and his son as well. Hope to visit their graves someday. NOTE: FOR THOSE REMEMBER, THE INTERVIEWER STARRED IN THE 80'S CLASSIC "3 O CLOCK HIGH" WITH CASEY SEIZMASKO.
@HollyUndeadRaven i watch this video now and then too, man its amazing how he describes martial arts, how both control and natural reaction go together. I think all martial arts teacher should follow this philosophy cause I dont think there is a better philosophy than this and this same philosophy applies to any kind of art and should be practiced daily. What an inspiration!!
@ozal91 Well Said! i have this interview up on the internet for 2 years, to share it with other Bruce Lee fans and i still watch it, from time to time ^_^
@nexpia my speech is based upon acts, not words you see most of the time acts talk better than words, USA is a very violent country, perhaps you see this agressions to foreigners very normal is not my goal to insult USA but your society has become into a shame and i am not generalizing i the acts or doing that shows it
@elchacal31 I am proud of being Asian no doubt, but what i am saying people from america or occidental countries dont seem to understand that we Asians are very different, at least of the way we think, i am not racist just sayung the truth many americans dont treath fearly foreigners specially Asians you are the racist not us
@koi891 Although it'd be true in many cases, not everyone follows the racist ways of our flawed society. Try not to generalize, because there are others that are born Americans that can respect a fellow human being's individuality.
Yeah burton doesnt seems to show al least of a bit of interest, he is american , we asian people ( i am japanese) think extremly different, americans want us to be like them and that cannot happen
@koi891 Hey man that's not fair, i'm American and that sounded racist, we're not all the same and actually i like the Asian cultures, A LOT, you should be proud of being Asian (:
I like how the interviewer cuts Bruce off in the end when he's in the middle of explaining the most beautiful universal truth.... That guy's an illuminati for sure... he definately fits the profile (old, white, suppresing the truth)
@mackinyoungin Ok mr, you have been raving about this documentary for ages now. bt speaking of bruce, a remake of game of death would be fant-awesome. In fact, let me watch that scene with the 'nunchakus'
The host was a Dick..but what would u expect for those times..I give Bruce lee mad credit for keeping his composure especially when he was trying to explain expressing yourself thru the art of mma,and the just said that it wasent the western way of thinking..I'm sure the motherfucker would flip in his grave if he know Obama was president..
pussy tv show host, much rep to lee!! he told the dude he didnt teach any specific fighting style and he is big on philosophy and the dude after the first break says he taught blah blah style and disrespects him by saying can you believe this martial artist studied philosophy?? AN INSULT TO LEE!!
@JustmeKasie I feel that you are misunderstanding the life Bruce Lee dedicated himself to. He wasn't just a fighter, or just a philosophical guy, he was an all around awesome dude who pushed himself in ways most humans don't even dream about. Anyway I'm done arguing.
