What, exactly, are we to make of Bernadette Fox , the dysfunctional slacker architect with the racing tongue and the porcupine disposition who’s at the center of Richard Linklater’s “Where’d You Go, Bernadette”? Bernadette lives in a beautiful crumbling mansion, perched on a Seattle hilltop, that she spends her days indolently renovating. Everywhere in [...
Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, is responding to director Quentin Tarantino’s latest comments regarding her father’s portrayal in the film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” “He could shut up about it,” she told Variety when asked how Tarantino could rectify the controversy. “That would be really nice. Or he could apologize or he could [...
Corinne Foxx walked the carpet with her doting — and selfie-taking — father Jamie Foxx for her film debut, “47 Meters Down: Uncaged,” outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood on Tuesday night. “He’s so proud of me, he can’t even look at me without tearing up,” she told reporters about dad’s presence at the [...
I wouldn't like it if somebody portrayed my dad that way
She should whoop his ass
omg get a life
Kinda sounds like she’s as insecure as her dad was.
Jesus are people still talking about this?
Guro Dan Inosanto!
She's right
Why would he 'shut up' when he is being roundly criticized for a legitimate exercise of artistic license?
tbh loved the dog in this & didn't mind bruce lees portrayal 🐕
robertronny Haaaa Di Nghoollywuud ada yg kek gini? Anak protes gegara bapaknya di pelemin ga sesuai ekspektasinye? 😂😂 mirip di negara mana ya? Ehmm jrot! Krauk!
brucelee I’m really sorry about all this garbage Shannon. My name is Shannon too and I really admire your dad. So much so I named my son after him. (And Batman. 🥰) Hopefully this is a better way to honor his memory!
I agree. It was a great movie but us Bruce Lee fans knew he was a muscular deadly weapon and would have been a lot tougher. But still a funny scene. Hollywood tough guys win the day in that movie. I can live with it.
brucelee Bruce made something of himself in a time when Hollywood was hugely racist! Bruce broke racial barriers, revolutionised martial arts & enabled Chinese people to feel pride! It’s a shame QT tried to whitewash what Bruce fought hard to achieve! QuenTarantino
brucelee I found this and the irony is the booth character supposedly depicting Lebell as mentioned in the link with the interview Totally respects Bruce and they learned from each other like true martial artists.
queen
Maybe Quentin Tarantino should keep his mouth shut about this, the more he talks about it the more Shannon Lee is gonna go upside his head even further so Tarantino shut the hell up
brucelee Yep Quentin.. Do movies! And they're awsome.. But please STFUP!
brucelee Shannon, if you made a Sequel to Enter the Dragon, with the right cast and script, it would blow the Doors off any Movie that Tarantino could ever make. When your ready, let me know, I have some good cast members in mind. And that's what makes a good film. 👍😁
The discussion from all sides is stupid. No one acknowledged that the scene is a reverie - Cliff's daydream - and in a dream anyone can be portrayed any way. QT could've had Gandhi talking trash and Cliff could've backhand slapped him. Dream sequences can show anything.
brucelee Tarantino ist an egg thief. He's stealing scenes from old movies and music also and think he's moviemaster. Never watching his and Brad Pitt and DiCaprios Films again. My Friends also Not Like this clown Tarantino.
brucelee I don't think that even Bruce could fend off Tarantinos wildly flailing arms, whenever he does an interview! 😏
brucelee Every Martial Artist loves Bruce Lee. and yes a depiction in poor taste might make a few view Lee differently. But in the end it will be forgotten. Bruce will never be Forgttten. But this has Happened before with another film and the Bruce Lee family.
brucelee Tarantino had the opportunity to pay homage to the legend that is Bruce Lee and he blew it.
Oh gene. Hahaha! Love that guy!
bck to drinking martinis and wearing skirts like a good little girl.
And I'm not one to throw around the phrase 'outrage culture' but this is type one in the definition.
I context to the scene it was all through Cliff's memory which is unreliable and seemed polished to make him look better in the situation even though he became unemployable because of it. Don't worry, there's tons of films/docs that are 'pro-Lee'. Who cares really?
QT could have cut that whole scene and it wouldn’t have made a difference in the movie. then bruce lee’s daughter would complain that it was cut.
brucelee What a disgusting director, who started to put the great man in place without the consent of his family, who thinks he knows Bruce lee, Mr. Lee's daughter, who is indeed a descendant of Bruce lee, who speaks with reason and conviction, and should make quentin pay the court.
brucelee Totally agree with her! Tarantino is looking for attention & using the much revered Bruce Lee to get it.
brucelee So mature.
brucelee Shannon spent nearly a lifetime honoring her father and building his reputation as a peacemaker and philosopher and in minutes Tarantino undermined it all. Of course she's upset about it.
brucelee I thought it was pretty hilarious. Bruce Lee would’ve laughed at the absurdity. The problem is that Sharon is doing the opposite of what her father would preach in his book. If I’m not mistaken Bruce didn’t think rigid laws were practical. What could be more rigid than your own?
brucelee Yes,go girl! I thought QuentinTarantino loves and respects martial arts and martial artists,I was dead wrong,he is in too many people's black books now. Now I realize that all of his easter eggs & references in movies was nothing but mockery & imitation instead of respect.
brucelee I can’t locate where in my collection, but Bruce stated that he admired Ali and watched his fights. He also said he would never consider fighting him because of his size. Not exact quote. Bruce was assertive and confident and joked around. He didn’t take himself seriously.
brucelee I’m not sure that y’all understand the ramifications and consequences of this portrayal.
brucelee Remember gene lebell picked Bruce up over his head and carried him around like a rag doll. Bruce was screaming “put me down! I ll kill you!” Hahaha. Oh gene
brucelee Ain't gonna bother seeing it anyway. His films gone off a bit for me.
Tarantino and anyone trying to defend his gilded white male artist rights are the textbook definition of white mansplaining. Read the article. This is not about his artistic license at all. It's about him explicitly lying in an interview.
also, wouldnt have Bruce Lee called him Ali and not Clay? Cliff i could see..
TellMeYoureOK
Actually, everyone could shut up about everything. That way we would live in a silent world where no one gets offended and art is nonexistent. Aaah the Utopia. OnceUponATimeInHollywood
he's the director, this is his project get over your petty personal gripes. if you don't like what he's saying don't respond expecting he's going to fold to your opinion. don't waste your energy here spitting at a mountain of stone move-on
Confused after reading Tarantino's comments. Was this a fun over the top portrayal of an icon? Or did he really think this was an accurate portrayal of Lee? Seems like trying to have it both ways.
Everyone 'can' shut up
godforbid tarantino make light of and , oh, poke fun at bruce lee's persona for the sake of humor for a fucking MOVIE that's not even based on FACT . Godforbid Tarantino have his own OPINION about a celebrity and depicts him in a certain joking fashion....
bruce lee's daughter could shut up now. BYE .
alao, wouldn't have Bruce called him Ali, and not Clay? he changed his name by that time
Dramaturgy is complicated.
She was 3 years old. Se did not know her father. Who knows maybe Bruce Lee was like that or maybe not. Tarantino has artistic freedom to do whatever he likes.
Somebody get this girl a binky and a blanky.
Ignorant! She is the caretaker of his legacy. Literally. She has the right to say whether or not his portrayal is accurate. Tarantino misquoted at portion of her mom's book & used THAT as 'fact' when it was someone else's comment. He is wrong but as long as ppl are entertained...
Bruce Lee’s daughter has every right to defend against what she feels is a mischaracterization of her dead father’s personality and fighting skills. Keep keeping on.
audreycleo She's biased.
I enjoyed the scene, it fit the movie. Move on
Dear Bruce Lee's daughter: I was never a BruceLee OR Tarantino fan, but I enjoyed the movie for what it was. It was well done - fact or fiction. Clearly, this is going to become racist thing with SOMEBODY. That scene was priceless. BradPitt was hysterical. GET OVER IT!
He came off cool and confident. Non issue.
+1 Bruce lee's daughter.
