Very touchy topic, a great message for all viewers. Big congrats to both of you.

The Joy Luck Club's dark counterpart. Despite being in abusive and even perverse relationships, the Asian women are still ravenously consumed and obsessed with the white culture they desire to have and to be. Meanwhile, the nice guitar playing Asian man is once again castrated by the ever so psychologically transparent self hating Asian women who venomously hate their own kind and themselves.

Very sad movie that exaggerates but nevertheless displays a cross-section of the Asian American psyche

I don't understand what you said has anything to do with the film.

[takadi]

did you even watch the film?

[ChandaxxJohnson]

I am a Cambodian woman with a Psychology degree and you definetly do not speak for me! Psychologically transparent self hating? Give me a break!!

[takadi]

Did I even claim to speak for you? Have you even seen the movie? That psychology major probably isn't working for you if you can't recognize a simple film analysis. And obviously you have something to be defensive about, or else it wouldn't be true.

[ChandaxxJohnson]

You speak of "Asian Women". I'm Asian, I'm a woman. So yes you are speaking to me, and yes I am defensive because I am married to someone who is not Asian. This does not mean I have self hate. It simply means that I love somone who is not from the same background as myself. It is simply that simple. Instead of digging for negativity and over analyzing, just see things for what they are.

[takadi]

You obviously have not seen this movie at all if you think that I was even referring to you. Speaking of transparency, it seems like you have an axe to grind anyway, I have no doubt in my mind this isn't the first time you have convinced yourself someone was judging you. I personally don't give a rat's ass what color your mate is.

When you see the movie, come back and see me

Hi Sochea

It's so wonderful story. I was lucky having seen your film on PBS. May you and your family be happy forever.

[turkeydragon]

Good! It's time that the first generation of real asian american directors tells the rest of america that were not imaginary characters and fantasies within their delusional perception of reality ...
