In my opinion i think the significance of the 'quack' could be a mockery of Nic's dream to win the championship, using it to wake him up from a dream that he is unable to obtain.

The connection between Nic and Bruce Lee is that both of them are not 'suited' to play badminton, as we know Bruce Lee is a well known for his fighting skills and not badminton. Nic on the other hand is a Caucasian and according to Nic's father badminton is a sport for Chinese kids who are quick and smaller compared to them. In a way we can say that Bruce Lee and Nic are outcasts which are not supposed to be playing badminton

he puts in a lot of effort and work hard towards goal that he wants to achieve.

He is closed minded as is very  unaccepting towards people who are non-asian since he believes that asians are undefeatable when it comes to badminton and that there is no point trying to challenge against them.

The director showed the audience that despite other people putting you down because of your appearance and cultural differences, you can still achieve your dreams if you believe in yourself. Nic's father constantly disapproved of his passion in badminton, saying it was a sport for small, Chinese people and that Nic was not good enough. However, Nic still persevered and ended up proving to himself and others that he was actually a skilled badminton player.

# data[].attributes.body
Is because that Nic is an American and his idol is Bruce lee. In addition, he played badminton, the sports that most chinese played.

Nic represents someone who is eccentric, a person who does unconventional things and being himself instead of following what his culture or family tradition does.

# data[].attributes.body
It is because Nic is an American who plays badminton which a sport that mostly played by the Chinese just like how Chuck Norris is an American who does martial arts.

# data[].attributes.body
He made a plus size male teen win all matches with male teens who were "smaller" than him or who were Asian because as Nic's father mentioned "Those Asians are quick". This breaks the stereotypes of race and size. The director also had a female player win the tournament to break the stereotype that men are better than women at a sport. This breaks a gender stereotype.

# data[].attributes.body
His opponent was confident that Nic did not have what it takes to beat him as it is an "Asian game".

# data[].attributes.body
At first, Nic's dad did not support him in playing badminton and joining the tournament as he thinks badminton isn't a sport a for the white people. However, Nic was not discouraged by his dad's words and did not give up in training, joined the tournament and beat many opponents.

Just like Nic participating in badminton which is mostly played by Asians, Chuck Norris is a famous white martial artist who participated in Korean martial arts which breaks the stereotype. He also acted as Bruce Lee's nemesis in a movie, showing the divide of skin colour between Nic and his opponent.

# data[].attributes.body
In the badminton tournament scene, the director broke both racial and gender stereotypes. Australians like Nic himself can be just as good at playing a sport than an Asian can, as seen when Nic beat his opponents during the match. Girls like Jenny can also play badminton just as well as guys can, as shown when she managed to defeat Nic in order to win the whole tournament.

# data[].attributes.body
The short film is related to the theme of identity and sense of belonging as Nic may not be of the same skin colour as the rest of the badminton players but he feels a sense of belonging as they share the same interests. He feels at home playing the sport he enjoys.

Nic's Father represents the world. It shows how many people all over the world judge and belittle those within their own culture and community for participating in something different. It is a main reason why many are not happy, as what brings them happiness is seen as a defect or shame in their community. Nic's Father shows how quick to judge people are and how being accepted is the 4th basic human need.

# data[].attributes.body
It includes Asian-Australians not just white Australians.

# data[].attributes.body
The director broke the stereotype of fat/overweight people not being suitable for badminton. This is shown through the scene where he made it to the finals in the competition. Another stereotype being broken was that only Asians excel in badminton. This is proven false as Nic had defeated countless Asian competitors in the movie.

# data[].attributes.body
Chuck Norris was an American. As Americans are associated with "manlier" sports such as tennis or baseball. Chuck Norris broke the stereotype and became a martial artist. The opponent was referencing Nic as a foreigner trying to master a sport that is Asian dominated.

# data[].attributes.body
to show that it was only dream

# data[].attributes.body
It shows the discomfort of Australians with the rise of the Asian population in their country and also a caucasian male of bigger size playing a game said to be for smaller and quicker people and generally Asians.

The director broke stereotypes by first introducing the dream of Nic. Inside it showed his victory in winning a badminton competition, which was a foreshadowing of Nic in his future competition. It first introduced the audience with an American playing badminton which could throw them off. The director then showed them the direction the movie was heading to.
