Recently, Quentin Tarantino responded to the controversy caused by the image of Bruce Lee in the movie “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” in an interview with “The Joe rogan Experience”.
He said, “I can understand that his daughter has opinions about this, that is her father, I can understand, but let the others go away!”
The host asked at the beginning, some viewers thought that Quentin portrayed Bruce Lee as an asshole, why is this.
Quentin said that Cliff and Bruce Lee played by Brad Pitt in the film are a “two-win-of-three” match.
In the first two rounds, they each won one round, temporarily 1-1, and Cliff took advantage of Bruce Lee’s loopholes to win the second round.
In addition, Quentin took Matthew Polly’s book “Bruce Lee: A Life” as an example.
In the eyes of the stuntman group in the United States at the time, Bruce Lee liked to really fight when shooting fighting scenes (citing the example of the American drama “The Green Hornet”), this kind of behavior was more “jerk”.
Because stand-in work is very risky, it is essentially a life-for-money exchange. It seems unprofessional and prone to life danger.
Quentin said that he researched Bruce Lee before filming “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”.
“The stuntmen who filmed “The Green Hornet” hated Bruce Lee, and Matthew Polly mentioned this in his book. This has always been well known, and this is why he asked Jean Labell to teach Bruce Lee to respect his substitutes. actor.”
In addition, Quentin also said that Cliff Pitt played in the film is a special soldier who can kill.
If in a martial arts tournament, Cliff will be defeated by Bruce Lee; but if in the jungle, Bruce Lee will be killed by Cliff.
