  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

While watching Fist of Fury for the first time, Mao dissolved in tears, Liu recalled, and said "Bruce Lee is a hero!" Mao watched the film twice more. Liu said he did not know of any other movie that Mao viewed three times.

Did you not read the article? The scene that Mao was reacting to was one where Lee's character 'kicked and smashed a wooden panel bearing the words: "Chinese and dogs not allowed".' It was a scene of fighting very explicitly not just for yourself or as yourself but fighting for and as the oppressed.

I went off into the weeds there when I should have first established that I was wholeheartedly sympathetic of that particular contextual moment of Mao loving that moment and wanting to see it again and again. Sorry.
