Sally's Asian American Film

    This week, we saw Margaret Cho's show: PsyCHO. A t first, when I was watching, I couldn't understand what she was talking about. Because the jokes and humor in America are really different from Asia. So that I cannot understand why she was always talking about the topic of sex. But after I saw the whole show and read the materials, I start to understand her.   As I said before, many facts are told through jokes. This is the best way to tell others what you can't or don't want to say. Therefore, as an Asian American, Margaret Cho told some of the things she has experienced, as well as some bad things that others have experienced, such as sexual assault, through this show. This allows the public to pay attention to those victims and speak for them.    Margaret Cho talked about many "taboo" topics in this show. This is something I did not expect. Because Asians may be relatively conservative, these topics will not be discussed in public. Such as sex and drugs...

     In Better Luck Tomorrow , it mainly expresses masculinity and the stereotype of Asian Americans in the United States. But does this really change the stereotype? Does this change promote the integration of Asian Americans into the United States?     I am a Chinese, so I understand the life of most Chinese (or Chinese students) in the United States: mainly studying.

They need to prove that they are smart, useful and can integrate into American life. So, what is the American impression of Asian Americans? They have good grades, they are not very strong, they are weak. Therefore, at this time, channels like movies or videos are needed to publish the correct and true facts. So there are movies like Better Luck Tomorrow . However, in my opinion, the change of the protagonist does not really change the stereotype. They j...

 Hi! I'm Xiyue Zhang, and you can call me Sally if you want. I'm a sophomore and major in film. I really like singing and dancing. So, maybe I will minor in music. Also, traveling and seeing films are my hobbies. In the winter break, I saw three films in China. They are really good, including the plot, the main characters, the songs, and the special effects. About the type of film, I like comedy and Chinese mythology.  I'm in China now. Everything is good here. In the winter break, I went to a dancing studio, and a media studio. Also, I find a new hobby recently, which is dubbing. I found that there are so many excellent works and voice workers in China. Maybe it can be one of my dream jobs in the future.  In the film history, I'm interested in the sound part. I used to see a video or a documentary (I don't really remember). It showed the way to make a sound in a video. For example, if you want to make a sound of thunder, you can use a big sheet iron and flap it. Or...
