ESPN's Bruce Lee doc 'Be Water' gives an engaging bird's-eye view of the martial arts legend's life. Alan Sepinwall's review
where the Chinese characters are all played by Asian actors, including Andrew Koji as a hero named, finally, Ah Sahm. often lives up to the more diffuse aspects of its titular substance. There’s so much Nguyen and his many interviewees want to talk about here, and many of them feel covered in too cursory a fashion to truly do them justice. The film doesn’t even attempt exploring the life of Ip Man outside of his role as Lee’s tutor in the art of Wing Chun.
The film features an impressive array of voices from throughout Lee’s life, including NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabar, who trained under Lee while a student at UCLA, and played one of his opponents in the uncompleted movie. All are kept off-screen until the end, when Nguyen finds the most poignant way to properly introduce them and their relationships with Lee.
Throughout, Lee is presented as a man who broke down barriers, between forms of martial arts as much as between races. “Because of style,” he explains at one point, “people are separate.” His signature form, Jeet Kune Do, borrowed elements of multiple disciplines, and he became one of the first kung-fu masters in America to take on non-Chinese students.
