From the Chop Suey Circuit to Box Office Champions

from Asian American Cinema Club · host Sarah Aie

In the 1930s, Hollywood moved on from silent film to enter its Golden Era with the invention of talkies. By the 1980s, a global box office business emerged and a military-cinema-industrial complex was established. Join us as we examine how political factors and social movements of the next five decades impacted the trends of Asian American representation. Chinese Summary (中文總結): 好莱坞在一九三十年代开始加声音道电影里。其实,这新概论导致了更少的机会在屏幕上看到亚裔美国人。电影没有以亚洲角色扮演亚洲演员,而是以黄脸白人演员为特色。比方说,在 The Good Earth 里,Anna May Wong 试镜当主角,可是制作公司让一个白女演员扮演这个亚洲角色。后来,从一九三十年代道一九五十年代后,Chop Suey Circuit,指的是遍布全美国的夜总会网络,主要代表了亚裔美国人在美国娱乐产业的参与。第二世界战也造成了很多反亚裔美国人种族主义,特别是日裔美国人。例如,Breakfast at Tiffany’s 也有一个白人演员扮演日语角色,但电影还是被美国授予了。在一九七十年代,越南战争发生了,又有增加在展示电影的数量里。虽然这增加导致了亚洲人的非人道化,但这年代也是亚裔美国人在好莱坞取得巨大成功的时期,因为许多有影响的亚洲电影就是在这时代被发布的,象 Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury。
