In this age of computers, special effects technology is moving at a
rapid pace, new breakthroughs make previous breakthroughs of a few
years earlier appear old and dated. The physical
breakthroughs that human beings make are not so easily surpassed. Records set by athletes
can stand for years, decades even. Although Bruce Lee made his few films in the early
seventies, his physical performances in them are as awesome and breathtaking to behold
even today, and will continue to be for future generations. Because they will be watching
a man who has taken his physical skill to a degree no one else has before, or since.
When you watch Enter The Dragon for the first time, by the end of it, you
are filled with so much energy and lifeforce you feel as if you could run a twenty mile
marathon, very few people are capable of generating that effect in others.
As each new generation of children is born, at some point, they will
stumble across the Bruce Lee films. They will never have seen anything like him, and once
they witness the high level of mastery and perfection, the praise and mania will begin
again.
Every new generation will rediscover Bruce Lee and he will be reborn again
and again. Like a vast ocean the future lies ahead of us, as far as the eye can see, and
then a bit further just to prove the point. If we set sail today, in good weather and a
strong wind on our backs, we still won't reach as far as the legacy of Bruce Lee.
His dedication, perseverance and mastery of his art have ensured that his
name and memory will far outlive him.
The Spirit of Bruce Lee will Live Forever!
