Introduction: About Me

-

 Hey my name is Ace. I’m from Saint Louis, Missouri. I’m currently a senior majoring in Cultural Anthropology.My pronouns are they/them. Something interesting about me is that I love watching anime and Korean drama’s. I also read a lot of manga and wouldn’t mind creating one if I ever get the chance except I would more diversity. My favorite movie I would have to say is “Game Of Death” by Bruce lee, I’m just a big martial arts fan. Another reason is Bruce Lee died during the filming of this movie yet had many more movies in mind this was the start of a unfinished masterpiece. After an unsuccessful murder on Bruce Lee, everyone thinks he’s dead but he is just hiding and preparing to fight.

Love Alarm

        Love Alarm rotates around the life of Kim Jojo who is in the middle of her high school experience. This app is introduced in the first episode as a launch. The app allows for two people to create an invisible circle around each other to reveal their love intentions. While this app seemed to be introduced as positive the author explores the negatives sides about technology like the feeling of isolation and being unloved as well. I appreciate the approach into new technology that may not seem like a reality.            The reading introduced a unique topic when discussing the role fans bring into film. Without the fans the film would not be alive or even celebrated. I know a lot of fans get attached to the characters due to the close connection they feel. However, I think this is interesting to feel a connection with someone from the other side of the world. “K-drama fans’ comments further suggest that their creation, or ...

Better Luck Tomorrow

          Better Luck Tomorrow is known for striking a pivotal point for Asian American Cinema. Director, Justine Lin, started off producing all Asian American Films before jumping into the Fast and Furious Franchise. It is important to note that the first all-Asian cast films in Hollywood may have become Hollywood Films by accident. For example, as Amy said in the PowerPoint, Bruce Lee was one of the first Asian actors in Hollywood to film independently. The reason Bruce Lee’s film reached success was due to his denial of side roles Hollywood offered and the Hong Kong independent film he decided to produce “Enter the Dragon”. The film became so successful in Hong Kong that Hollywood called Bruce back and asked that he direct his own Hollywood Film. As Liu states in Of  Myths Of Men  “...going commercial while staying principled is the only way for Asian American cinema to win space in an industry that, at present, is disinclined to acknowledge it...

Pen 15

        Pen15 is a cringe comedy series created by Maya Erks and Anna Konkle who play younger versions of themselves in the seventh grade. As they journey through their first year in middle school, they quickly realize it is not as expected. Maya struggles to fit in being called UGIS as well as having little control over her autonomy. While Maya is seen repressing some of her Japanese side, her mother encourages her to embrace it when insisting on the bowl cut. Instead, Maya actively denies this reality and pushes herself to create a new identity in return letting family and friends down.      I thought Pen15 did a nice job tackling the details of sexual exploration and alienation. This is the first middle school series I have witnessed that openly talks about masturbation. I feel that Maya  uses masterbation as a way to take control of her autonomy. She is both trying to fit in and stand out while also choosing which parts of herself are mos...
