Ren hai gu hong (1960)

The last film the 18-year-old Bruce Lee made in Hong Kong before emigrating to the United States. Set in Hong Kong in the late 1950s, The Orphan reflects the changing values in the colony after the war, when capitalism and westernization were gradually replacing traditional Chinese morals. Ho Si-kei (Ng Cho-fan), the devoted director of an orphanage, tries to save delinquent Ah San (Bruce Lee) from the world of crime — and discovers that Ah San is actually the son he lost during the war. Bruce Lee, in a fabulous performance as a charming, confused rebel, effortlessly brightens up the serious tone of the film. His dance number is a triumph, while beautiful co-star Pak Yin defines elegance. | Gönderen: Avangart
