The Controversy Between Fwors And Movies

Decent Essays
Picture this: You’re watching a movie that takes place in Africa. The narrator says, “Look at those zebras!” but the camera zooms in on elephants. It would be confusing and wouldn’t make sense, right? So why is it that movies do the same thing with their actors? Fwor as long as movies have been produced, there has been much controversy with the casting choices. The directors often cast actors and actresses who are white for roles meant for people of color. Edward Zo auditioned to get the role as Light Yamagi in the Netflix movie, Death Note, but was told he could not get the role because he was “too Asian.” Many people’s first reaction to this might be, “How can someone be too much of his or her race?” It simply makes no sense at all.

    Stereotypes of people of color and minority races have been around for many years, and have proved themselves to dominate the perception of people of color in everyday life. Films portray people of color as they are perceived by white Americans, not how they truly are, unique. Film has only dirtied the minority races’ image over time, though if the movies were not made by other Americans, they were more accurate to their race. Stereotypes of Asians have been around for a long time, ever since Asians were introduced. Stereotypes such as Asian students are smarter, Asian women are more exotic and tend to wait on men, Asian women are submissive, Asian people are all from China, and many others.…

    The best part of watching your childhood dreams be crushed before your very eyes, is knowing that there are thousands of other people experiencing the exact same thing, at the exact same moment. There’s something comforting in the unity that lurks behind the pain of having your favorite television show be so thoroughly disrespected, as was the fate of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I went to see the movie less than a week after it’s opening in 2010, and left less than an hour into the movie. When the movie started I was immediately struck with the thought that the characters didn 't look right.…

    The portrayal of African Americans in the film industry is pretty different from what they were in the past. Compared to our society, the portrayals of African Americans in the past were negative. Since one of Hollywood’s main goals as time progressed was to make films that are more relatable, the films had to follow the specific trend that was going on in that time. Many films followed the lifestyles of individuals living in antebellum South. The only roles available for African Americans in film were roles were slave roles.…

    It may not be surprising to foreign viewers seeing white actors playing their role, but to minorities in America, they take it as an insult. Hiring foreign actors may be expensive and can cause disinterest in people as they prefer seeing well-known actors. But it does not hurt to risk a couple bucks for a bigger cause. The process of solving this problem is easy enough. To avoid whitewashing, moviemakers should do what is right and put the right actor in the right role.…

    I would like you to discuss what you believe to be an important issue(s) that could be explored within the vehicle of good storytelling (Theatre, TV, Film) and why you believe it to be an important issue to be raised and wrestled with for the greater American body politic. You can certainly address an issue(s) that is a current or ongoing issue for the Asian American public. If you are in the class and are Asian American, I would love you to discuss any personal (as long as you are comfortable) insight you may have. I think Asians don't get a lot of representation in film and theater. Many characters in today's theater and film include other a lot of other American minorities.…

    In addition, I have looked at whether or not Asian actors have been cast for a role, and if not, if a white actor was cast instead. It is important to include films from the beginning of the film industry to now in order to see how history directly correlates with the portrayals of Asian-Americans in film, how portrayals and representation have shifted as time has passed, how stereotypes began, and why some aspects (yellowface, whitewashing, stereotyping, and the underrepresentation of Asian-Americans in Hollywood) still continue to persist in spite of protest against prejudice. In addition, I have included more current films, such as Doctor Strange (2016) and Cloud Atlas (2012). Instead of taking these films at face value, I am going to analyze both the nuances and overt elements that contribute to offensive and stereotypical roles of Asian-Americans. By analyzing over a dozen films spanning from the era of silent film to now, I am able…

    For example, Johnny Depp’s take on a Native America in the movie The Lone Ranger or Max Minghella as Divya Narendra in the Social Network. “Achieving greater diversity in film and television is about more than just putting non-white faces on the screen, Shukla said. How the entertainment industry portrays these characters is just as important.” (7) Hollywood is ignoring that diversity is more than adding in random characters of color with no purpose. The old tradition of whitewashing is also not helping the Hollywood financially, like they claim.…

    I’ve always had an abundance of positive influences in my life, to the point I don’t even realize the effect they have on me. Unfortunately, minority kids may even still relate to Kim today in the epidemic of white-washing in today’s media. White-washing is when a film casts a white actor for the role of a minority character. It happened in the 1960s in Breakfast at Tiffany’s where Caucasian Mickey Rooney played the role of an Asian man. Likewise, it happened recently with White Ed Skrein’s casting of Ben Daimio, a Japanese-American man in the recent adaptation of Hellboy.…

    Unlike many movies, the portrayal of feminism is inevitably found in Robert Stromberg's direction of Maleficent. Disney movies are known for the princess adaptations which are distorted into the basic “prince saving a princess”, with love as the resounding focal point. However, here, women are represented as heroines that are capable of saving both themselves, and others. In accordance with that, this movie shows an aspect of realism, that men can be evil, and a woman can live without a man, unlike the typical “housewife” archetype which blooms throughout many fairy tales. Most importantly, true love is not just with some lousy prince, in this move feminism is represented as girl power can in fact be stronger than “fate or destiny”.…

    The term “Tokenism” is maybe something the average person has never heard of. Tokenism is defined as “ the policy and practice of making a perfunctory gesture towards the inclusion of members of minority groups” If you look at any television show you watch or even movie for the most part you will always find at least one use of tokenism. There 's a token black guy who either acts like he is from what people have deemed the ghetto or he is soulful and acts like he’s from the south. There 's sometimes a token gay character that is always portrayed as a flamboyant white male with a high pitched voice and a love for fashion. The less common token is the love interest token which is the girl that the awkward main character has loved since forever but she has herself wrapped around some other guys finger.…

    Whitewashing has become increasingly prevalent in modern entertainment, and Hollywood continues to cast Caucasian actors in minority roles. This pattern of casting encourages cultural appropriation, and also prevents ethnically diverse actors from becoming established in the film industry. The term “show business” in reference to Hollywood is extremely applicable; studios are so concerned with the “business” aspect that they often employ celebrities for the sole purpose of capitalizing on their individual success and turning a profit for their own companies. Recently, Cameron Crowe’s film “Aloha” has received a lot of backlash in regarding its ethnocentric and financially motivated casting, specifically of Emma Stone in the role of an Asian-American…
