Charlie Chan

(8), has been made about the lack of diversity in their films. The problem, known as whitewashing, is being called out more and demanding a transition of the industry. Whitewashing takes away opportunities from minorities, misrepresents minorities, and ignores that diversity sells. Roles made for characters of color are hard to come by so when they are erased from scripts, and replaced with white actors, it enforces the idea that minorities aren’t relatable to the common people. With shows such as Empire or Jane the Virgin, they have proved that this belief if untrue. Instead of true diversity, white actors are cast as people of color, taking on either blackface or yellow face. (2) For example, back in the nineteen thirties Charlie Chan, from Charlie Chan at the Opera, was played by Warner Oland, who is not chinese, but caucasian. Another example, from a movie more recent was Angelina Jolie playing a black woman in the movie A Mighty Heart. Instead of casting a black woman, they painted her skin and gave her a wig. ”But the effort to make her physically resemble Pearl, right down to afro-ising her hair, feels at best unfortunate” (3). And that’s true. Why go through all of the effort and spend money on makeup, when you could find a woman of color? This leads to another example, the best example of whitewashing, the movie Gods of Egypt. As TimeOut magazine said, “The ultimate takeaway is that if you can’t finance a $140 million epic about ancient Egypt with racially…

Thinking Skills Paper 2 1. a) (i) One factor that reduces the reliability of Jane’s report in the daily log is that she makes the assumption that the reason Charlie is uncooperative is because she does not let him eat chips. (ii) One factor that reduces the reliability of Alan’s report in the daily log is that when Alan was taking care of Charlie, he might have still been feeling the effects of the sedative that was given the day before. b) Source C shows that Jane had warned Charlie about…

shows how the protagonist, Charlie Gordon, tries to change the way he is viewed in society from a mentally incapacitated individual to having a highly developed, profound mind.

how self-actualization can be achieved through criticizing the imperfections of a society. This can be seen in Sonny Liew’s The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, and in the movie Robert Crumb, in which the use of unique main characters, important issues presented by the setting, and metaphors criticizing those issues all illustrate how questioning societal values can lead to self-actualization. Charlie Chan and Robert Crumb are two characters, similar because of their uniquity, who showcase…

With all the advises from different professors, I am always instructed to put my scene partner as the priority in any circumstances. The philosophy of this technique provokes the basic practice in human relationship. One does not hold the authority unless the others allow you to, it is like a king will not be a king unless the community allows you to do…
