Representation in Art/Entertainment/Media • Page 48

The irony of this is that Alma was responsible for a huge chunk of what made Hitch’s films so great. There literally was a female Hitchcock.

 

Man, I'd love to see an Iron Fist type story that told this perspective. Not just to fix a problematic trope, but also because it'd simply be a great area to explore in media.

aw he had the best line in the movie

 

That movie is so damn bad

 

I like how they remade Midnight Sun with an all white cast.

 

Saw this trailer yesterday... you're telling me that's not some Nicholas Sparks bullshit?

(Starring one of my favorite J-pop musicians, but that's irrelevant)

 

Wild, they made it into what looks like the blandest movie imaginable

 

What bugs me, though, aside from making everyone white, is that the promos I've seen don't say it's based on anything.

And yeah, it looks pretty bland.

 

I dislike calling women led films diversity, but still

 

Progress.

In all seriousness, Atlanta is doing so much for representation that this is not an issue at all. The fact that her IMDb page literally says she played "Asian Woman" is fucking hilarious.

I wrote a thing.

Why Representation Matters to Me (and why Crazy Rich Asians is such a big deal)

 

I loved Constance Wu on Fresh Off the Boat, but I don't spend time on basically any television as of late. Can't wait to see her in Crazy Rich Asians, and hopefully in more good movies beyond that.

Also, yeah, I liked your thing.
