I don’t think he was naive, he just believed in himself so deeply

Thank you for paving the way Bruce. Inspired doesn’t even scratch the surface.

I just felt like putting on a documentary and Bruce Lee was the influential figure I though of. Usually the representations of his life on film have been okay but nothing that would impacted me enough. Luckily, this movie had great use of archival footage. It really felt like the footage was truly a personality in this documentary. Although this story follows Bruce’s life, it also depicts other events throughout history to more so ground why Bruce Lee was influential. I like how there isn’t any on screen interviews of these people to keep the focus directly on the topic. But sometimes when the names wouldn’t pop up, it would be confusing not who exactly was speaking.

What is essentially an hour-and-a-half long commercial for Bruce Lee films, Be Water does only a half decent job at addressing every aspect of the man's legacy. I would recommend watching "Would You Be My Neighbor" as an alternative for anyone looking for a documentary about a popular-personality-who-was-on-screen, who is no longer with us.

Now I'm itching to check out Game of Death

Side note: I love Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I could listen to him talk about any subject for hours.
