Mirroring the past

Viraag Desai, 35, artist
I remember watching the classic mirror scene from Enter the Dragon when I was less than 10 years old. His movies had this bite-sized quality where you went from one fight to the other without the storyline mattering that much. That’s not true of The Way of the Dragon, though, which had a lot more restraint and brought in the politics of Japanese occupation. The movie had this John Wick-like appeal about an assassin who doesn’t want to fight anymore. There’s also a film called Ip Man that is based on the person who trained Bruce Lee.
