ABSTRACT

The great martial arts legend Bruce Lee is known for his dynamic on-screen persona alongside explicit displays of what can only be called his physical perfection. Arguably, however, the inner result was far more significant to Bruce than the writings that manifested from it. When he returned to his work on camera, something had shifted inside of him, and it showed. Experience had given him ideas and wanderings, but the work he had done to distil his wandering mind had brought fruit. Bruce left the world too early, so it is hard to point out the subtle differences between his later body of work and his earlier projects. Biographers of Bruce, putting the quality of some of his films aside, looking through the persona he projected showed that behind the camera there was the recipe for a charismatic, powerful human being.
