asian-american films
Yo!!!!
Okay well a couple of things to say here:
1) I HATE English-dubbed Chinese movies. Dood! Just use subtitles! >_< The dubbing is SO horrible… no emotions whatsoever ~ might as well just turn them all into comedies with those gOofy-ass voices. Sorry if yur reading this and yoo dub Chinese movies into English or something O_O
2) Well I was flipping through the TV channels (and pretty much stopping at EVERY SINGLE CHANNEl ~ man I am TOO easily amused) and I came across the movie “Red Corner”. At first I didn’t know WHAT movie it was but it just interested mee because Richard Gere was in this building with a whole buncha Chinese people who were speaking Chinese (no dubbing OR subtitles mind yoo… hahaha), so I just watched it. Later I found out what movie it was… and immediately I was like “OH!” I read somewhere in some Asian-American magazine or on some Asian-American website that this movie was highly racist ~ and so I searched for ANY indication that it was racist… and to those of yoo who think it is an extremely racist movie ~ sorry, but I did not find any indications. Yes, it portrayed China as a place of great injustice ~ with a government that was corrupt and messed up dirty ass jails. First, who is to say that the United States doesn’t have a messed up corrupt government???? And dirty ass jails isn’t really bad ~ for godsakes, they’re CRIMINALS. The United States treats the criminals TOO good ~ they should spend that money on other stuff. OH! And the movie DID say bad things about the United States as well. It just irks mee that so many ignorant Asian-Americans get mad because an AMERICAN (WHITE American) portrays China as a place that isn’t perfect, it is racism ~ yet it is OKAY when CHINESE people from China put out similar movies illegally… suddenly it is okay just because they are Chinese too. That bugs.

* mood * - i don’t know…
oh dear… i think i hate someone O_O
i always prided maiself as a person who never hated anyone… but right now the realization just struck mee and i’m just unable to believe it i guess?
sure i say i hate people but i never really do. i think this is the one person i have truly hated… except the problem is i am not SUPPOSED to hate him (long story). i can’t stand being by him, but it is unavoidable… and i just now when he got in trouble, i could not help but smile.
i feel evil…
but if yoo knew mai situation yoo would know i have good reason… yes yes, yur supposed to forgive everyone, but this reason is one of the best there could be.
still, i feel bad… i wonder if that is really hate? it seems like it but i don’t really know… i’ve never really hated anyone before. i feel like a frootcake… most people would be saying this about LOVE (ie: is this what love is really like?) but i am talking about hate. i feel weird.
am i making any sense? i don’t know…
