New series debuting on Cinemax soon. It's based off of Bruce Lee's original concept for a series that eventually would turn into Kung Fu. As many of us know, the concept was changed and the main role for Kung Fu went to David Carradine. Now, Justin Lin (guy who did the Fast and the Furious movies), in association with Shannon Lee (Bruce Lee's daughter) is bringing that concept to life in a new series called Warrior.
Initially, I was skeptical of the idea. The character should be Chinese, but he's being played by Andrew Koji, who's half-Japanese/half-British. However, as some of my Asian-American actor friends have pointed out, there's always been a history in American cinema of Asians playing other Asians. Okay the Asian-American side of me sees that. The more I look at it though, I'm interested. The history of the Chinese in America definitely needs more attention. The Tong Wars, the Know-Nothing Party, "the Chinaman Must Go," there are a ton of stories to tell here that have relevance to today. To have an Asian man as the lead (who looks to possibly have romantic relations), that means a lot. Plus, the Kung Fu .
Alright, I'll bite. Let's see where this goes.
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
As a culture, we really do need to move past expecting better takes on complex situations from celebrities. A lot of them achieved their success through lucky breaks and jumped straight into successful careers past a building phase of young adulthood where the rest of us typically grow our common sense bone.
"A happy ending? So unlikely. We're not having a moment here.
Wrong city, wrong people, all huddling in fear.
No one escapes the slaughterhouse, and that's just where you're at.
(You could've asked Rebecca but then Adam stomped her flat.)
You think you're special cuz you're scrappy? You're deluded, time to go.
Lucy's living on the moon but you're another dead psycho."
Someone on Twitter made an argument about how a black Bruce Wayne could be handled.
