Interesting. I never made that connection. I'm not a younger person, but never had any interest in Bruce Lee movies. I've seen a few, it's just not my cup of tea.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a real stinker of a film, IMO. I'd be highly surprised if young people used it as a benchmark of much. I didn't even remember "he" was in it until this comment.
- keiferski 3y agoYeah I’m not a fan of Tarantino. My worry is that the most recent cultural work featuring Lee is Hollywood and that’s what younger people will associate him with. We could really use a new biopic or something that involves his ideas.
- selcuka 3y agoI don't think people will associate the depiction of a someone in that movie to any actual people, given that the movie is a completely fictitious rewrite of a real event (i.e. Tate murders).

- voidfunc 3y agoOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood is a stinker... that's a take. Movie wad fantastic. The Bruce Lee scene is fucking hilarious also.
- devoutsalsa 3y agoMeh. I got bored and walked out to be honest. We all have our own tastes.
- vasco 3y agoThe phenomenon of walking out of a show I paid to watch, even if I'm not enjoying that much is so alien to me. The first thought I might have is "what am I missing", and throughout I'll be trying to either find something good in it or start joking about it in my head. Maybe it'll turn good, maybe it'll be so bad it's good. Maybe the way they tell the story is bad but I still want to know how the story ends. I feel like I have so many reasons to stay there that it hasn't ever ocurred to walk out. Do you walk out of stuff often?
- wheels 3y agoI don't watch enough movies in a theater to measure walk outs there (though I would have walked out of the latest Avatar had I not been there with my son; so boring and long...), but I do stop maybe 1/5 novels without finishing and maybe 1/20 movies without finishing them. There's more interesting stuff I could be doing with my time, and if they are completely not my taste, I'd rather be ding those things.
- worrycue 3y agoNot him but I have video games I didn't complete and books I stop reading midway. You already wasted your money, why compound the loss further by wasting your time on things you don’t care for.
- throw_pm23 3y agoWalked out once of a movie people convinced me to go to. I found it childish and boring, kept thinking it is a nice sunny weather outside, what am I doing wasting my life in this darkness watching this commercial crap. It felt great being outside. I wish I had used my time similarly wisely in the years that followed :)
- devoutsalsa 3y agoIf I’m falling asleep during a movie or I’ve watched 50% and have no idea what’s happening, I don’t much see the point in staying :)

- woooooo 3y agoThe scene was funny but I've never heard anyone who knew him describe him as that sort of pompous douchebag. It's a little defamatory.
- sundvor 3y agoIsn't the whole scene like a memory from an unreliable witness, who (gasp) didn't like Bruce Lee? From that point of view it makes perfect sense. I thought it was hilarious myself, and however "correct" or not did establish his character as completely badass.

- mattbrewsbytes 3y agoIts art, to each their own. Its also a Tarantino film so its entirely his interpretation and lens of film into what he wanted to produce. I've watched a few interviews with him about that film and others and he is very meticulous about the content down to certain words in lines, no ad-libbing type of meticulous. I like some of his work and some of it I don't. I certainly hope young people understand not to think of portrayals of real people in works of art+semi-fiction aren't a good representation to bench anything on.
- JeremyNT 3y ago> I certainly hope young people understand not to think of portrayals of real people in works of art+semi-fiction aren't a good representation to bench anything on. Tarantino's style is so distinctive, and basically never grounded in reality. Regardless of whether the film is to one's tastes or not, it would be a pretty grave error to encounter a character in a Tarantino film and mistake the performance as an accurate representation of any real world person.
