Be Water

Impossible meanwhile not to belatedly join the general chorus of "whoa, awesome" over this clip from Bruce Lee's 1964 screen test for The Green Hornet. There's something arresting about the contrast between his eagerness to please and the absolute otherness of the craft he's demonstrating relative to the environment in which he's demonstrating it, along with the lost-world feel of the 1964 television studio.

note: requires Quicktime 6 or higher, rather irritatingly loads in browser as the clip's downloading
