"Having so much Korean talent or people influenced by Korean media on the crew made it possible. Because we could say to one of our animators, 'Do you remember that one expression the girl makes in the K-drama "Weightlifting Fairy"? Can you find us 50 GIFs of other moments like that from other K-dramas?' And the next day, he’d be like, 'Here’s the full range of eye twitches and mouth shapes.'"

The women of the K-pop group Huntrix are also demon hunters in the film, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans.

#Movies #AAPI #AsianFetish

I just re-watched the 1958 version of #TheQuietAmerican (starring Audey Murphy, an English actor whose name you'd never remember & an Italian actress in #YellowFace) which is set in #Indochina (aka #VietNam) in the 50's during the Vietnamese war vs the #French colonialist but is really about a #LoveTriange between an #American (who is probably a CIA -- then still probably known as the OSS -- agent, an English journalist & his Vietnamese mistress.

The film was remade in 2002 in a movie by the same name starring Michael Caine & Brendan Frazer. The 1958 movie is the better of the 2.

I have mixed feelings about this movie about 2 white men competing for an Asian woman, which reeks of the white male fetishization of Asian women but, if you strip away the inter-racial aspects of the film, it's mainly about what a man will do to save his relationship (including setting up his rival to be murdered) with the woman he loves.

I still give it a 6 out of 10 & own the DVDs of both versions.

This should be interesting . . .

JJ Spaun, who just won the #USOpen at Oakmont on Sunday 6/15 is being paired with the Scottie Scheffler, currently the #1 ranked golfer in the world, in the 1st 2 rounds of the Traveler's Championship, which will start the day after tomorrow on Thursday 6/17.

I hope Spaun -- who is of Filipino, Mexican & European ancestry -- can handle his rise to fame from obscurity.

He managed it in his playoff appearance vs the #2 ranked golfer in the world at the Players Championship a couple of months ago & he handled it last week by outplaying everyone else last week.

I wouldn't expect anything less of him this week but unfortunately, like other rarely seen professional sports athletes of color, they also take on the mantle of representing their "people" whether they like it or not.

So, even if he doesn't win, which is hard to do regardless of the circumstances, I just hope he plays & represents himself well under the pressure.

Go JJ!!! 🥳🥳🥳

@bicmay #AAPI #DavidHwang

I saw an earlier broadcast of #Yellowface on #PBS &, like others of Hwang's plays, I didn't like it. 🤷‍♂️

But #FrancisJue won a @TonyAward last night for his performance in the play on #Broadway (beating out #DanielDayKim who was nominated in another category) but I don't know what role Jue played because I turned off the show before he made an appearance.

So, I'll record the show again on 6/30 to take an actual look at Jue's performance.
