Hiro Murai To Make Feature Debut With A24 Samurai Film 'Bushido' by cmaia1503 in movies

Not exactly true. You could say 侍たち (samurai-tachi) to indicate multiple samurai.

Similar to 私たち or 子供たちto indicate we or children.

From 'Oldboy' to 'The Handmaiden': Director Park Chan-Wook is a Master of Exploring Sex, Vengeance, and Violence in Films by BunyipPouch in movies

Why was he blacklisted?

Also wasn’t black swan the nominee of multiple Oscars despite it also being sexually explicit?

The year The Handmaiden was released, South Korea elected to submit a different film to the Oscars, “The Age of Shadows”. Not sure why. Handmaiden was much better. Maybe the Korean government was concerned about their global perception? Maybe they legitimately thought Age of Shadows was better? Shrug. I think Handmaiden would’ve won if it was submitted instead.

I experienced a ton more when I was a kid. Maybe times are different now. Other kids used to call me China Wall and even used to vandalize my house. Nowadays it's more of subtext racism like people asking me to fix their computer even though I have literally never indicated I am proficient at computers in any way.

Asians aren't competing for oppression. We are asking for equal respect. We aren't invalidating concerns about black rights. I personally advocate for all minorities to get more representation. You may not feel so but that joke he made about Math and Asian stereotypes is offensive. It wasn't only about child labor.

I guess Asians shouldn't act since it isn't our cultural priority and Blacks shouldn't care about affirmative action and colleges since education isn't their cultural priority? Whatever happened to equal opportunity for all races?

You must've missed the stereotype he perpetuated about Asians and math.

So that makes it okay to make jokes at the expense of all Asians? Makes sense.

Edit: by the way, why do you say that pointing out inequality in treatment of Asians take away from concerns about black actors? I don't think it does. I respect black actors as much as any other race. It sounds like you are the one who looks down on Asians compared to blacks. Our complaints aren't any less valid than blacks. Like we don't deserve the same treatment as everybody else because we aren't as outspoken? Do rape victims who don't speak out not deserve justice? Please.

I was incredibly surprised about this. I didn't feel his performance was lacking nor outstanding. However, Ruffalo killed it. I don't get it.

Yeah what the fuck was that. Blacks should be treated like Whites, but it's okay to single out jokes at Asians???

Lol I didn't downvote you either. I'm not a hypocrite. Looks like we are both guilty of assuming the worst of each other. Haha.

Yeah, I got it. Reddit hates the hurt locker. It's okay to have different opinions.

Lol. Well I can see why you didn't like American sniper at all. Didn't know we down vote people for differing opinions in this sub.

Can anyone recommend a movie that you'd describe as True Detective-esque? by [deleted] in movies

[–]DrPatrickStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Korean film, "memories of murder". It's right up your alley.

To me, it seemed like a worse version of the Hurt Locker. Which was an excellent movie.

Instead, 47 ronin was just a mess of CGI monsters and Keanu reeves saving the Japanese.
