Because it’s Asian Pacific Heritage month, and because I’m a film fanatic, here is a list, far from complete and a bit dated, of films I’ve viewed involving Asian Pacific culture. These films capture the intersectionality of many issues: gender, sexuality, moving among several cultures (switching social codes), and establishing lives. There are also the common “versus” struggles: individuality versus collectivism; native versus western; duty versus rebellion; old (older generation, tradition) versus disneyshop new (younger generation, new values). There are many more that should be considered. I’ve roughed out categories and indicated where there are women in executive roles.
Thousand Pieces disneyshop of Gold Chinese diaspora, women’s conditions, slavery/indentured service, wilderness America, and Chris Cooper to boot. Director: Nancy Kelly. Screenwriter: Ruthanne Lum McCann. disneyshop
Growing Up/Youth
My list is east-Asian influenced. For Asian diaspora in general, I’d also recommend: Mira Nair’s Mississippi Masala ; The Namesake ; Bend it Like Beckham ; Madame Sousztaka ; My Beautiful Laundrette ; East is East ; The Journey . Please list films that you’d recommend based on their cultural, historical, and entertainment value.

Wow, Netflix is impressive. The movies not available from my list are: The Home Sung Stories; Madame Sousatzka; Golden Gate ; and Eve and the Fire Horse . These films I’ve seen on the Starz Cable network, so check your local cable listings.
Ailanthus-altissima 05.16.2011 at 7:14 pm I can’t wait to check out the movies on this list! My only regret is that I cannot like this post about 10 times. I like film but it can sometimes be overwhelming to know what to check out – do you just jump in or what (I tend to just jump in, fyi), so it’s great to have some pointers.

HelloKitty 05.16.2011 at 5:19 pm Yes, the movie was okay, but it did show how the family lost its farm, which happened disneyshop to most Japanese when they were released from “camp”. They didn’t have businesses to return to, most farms were lost, so they had to start over. The film does reference that. Yes, the book is superior.
Bandit Queen is a fictionalized account about the life of Poohlan Devi, a former bandit who eventually got into politics and was assassinated. I wouldn’t exactly say the film is factual , but interesting none the less.
[E] Slay Belle 05.16.2011 at 5:23 pm Seriously, Yuri Kochiyama is an absolute inspiration. I know you know who she is, but I was hoping other people reading this might be interested in learning more about her.
All of my visual anthropology classes were taught by the last prince of Gudjarat (seriously), so I have a pretty decent disneyshop knowledge of Indian cinema disneyshop — and, of course, my anthropologist husband disneyshop sort of influences things too — which is why I’m able to toss out that list pretty easily. But maybe I will do an article! You should definitely try Earth and Fire — I think you’d like them.
[E] Slay Belle 05.17.2011 at 12:04 am They’re on Netflix instant right now if you have access. Do check them out — but if you’re not aware, its a thematic trilogy that shares many of the same actors, but not characters.
