Blame It on Father

Blame It on Father is a must-see for Bruce Lee fans and a whole lot more. The film ambitiously strives to enlighten the audience while entertaining them, drawing drama and comedy out of the age-old issue of child rearing, offering as solution a concerted effort by family, education, religion, law enforcement, literature and popular culture. The story centres on a group of children as they negotiate the complexity of life, each one's ways a confluence of nature and nurture. Lee plays a bully, an older version of his character in the classic The Kid (1950) had he not gone back to China. The moment when Lee performs a few lines of the Cantonese opera song 'Robbing the Road to the Afterlife‘, the signature tune of his father Lee Hoi-chuen, is one for the ages.
