Another Bruce Lee "biopic," this one tailored to the millennial crowd.
Sorry if that sounds offensive, but the events depicted therein look more overblown than even those ofDragon: The Bruce Lee Story — a movie I admit I like a lot! But that movie is heavily skewed (it's based on Linda's book), and Dan Inosanto himself said it's "75% false." And I believe him.
Judging by the trailer, Birth obviously makes a pivotal moment in Bruce's life its centerpiece, and it's no doubt a flashy, extended showdown. The real event reportedly took very little time, as Bruce dispatched his opponent/naysayer quickly. (In the same fight in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Bruce is shown getting savagely hurt and thrown out of commission for months, which is bull. He hurt himself lifting weights.)
I love that movie! It's one of my favorites. Jason Scott Lee did an amazing job. But it did come out in 1994, I think, so I guess someone thinks it's time for a new film. I wouldn't be interested in seeing this one though.
Some of the fight scenes had quite the long takes. And an unusual (very well done) two-scene-shot (4 shot) a couple times toward the end. Sat through the credits all the way, and if you stay until the last 30 seconds or so, you'll see who the consultant was.
