This movie was watched with 80S Hong Kong gangster films such as True Character, God of Gamblers, and Bloody Two Heroes, so this 70S work is really not exciting enough, and the plot seems to be relatively weak. The only thing to watch is Bruce Lee's kung fu, so the cinematic shots are less fast-moving and fast-cut, and there are at most a few sharply pushed shots to create the atmosphere. Use medium shots to show muscles and fists.
Bruce Lee probably likes shallow focus lenses. Whether it's a Roman street scene or a climax fight, he uses a shallow focus or even a fisheye lens to show it. What's interesting is that, among the many shallow focus, the cat in the Colosseum was photographed with a small depth of field with a blurred background, and the cat's state ran through the entire climactic duel. In addition to shallow focus and zoom push-pull, the director also likes to use a subjective perspective to present hitting and being hit. The unique and shocking perspective is also worth mentioning.
The story is really simple, and the shaping of the villain is really simple. In the 80S, a gangster who can get things done with a few guns is like a cat and a mouse. In the end, the appearance of the old ghost had no dramatic thrust. The only thing that can be grasped is the implicit and hazy love between the man and the woman, which is a simple echo of the story.
