    White penis in my historical East Asian films -- no thank you bai

    spicyobsession:

    It’s official: white people can time-travel and teleport themselves to locations where the chances of running into one of their lily-white asses are ZERO. Like my Asian movies. Case in point?

    THE LAST SAMURAI - what the hell is Tom Cruise doing in late 1800s Japan, stealing Ken Watanabe’s thunder? 

    MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA - yeah, the author of the book is a white dude with a serious fetish-boner for Japanese culture, but still: none of the major characters with names were white. And then, out of nowhere in the film

    The fuck is this cracka doing here?

    Still not convinced? Don’t worry, I got more.

    SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN - Again, no white characters in the book. None. Zilch. Then the film adaption comes out and what do we have?

    I get it. Hugh Jackman’s a total babe, but the book didn’t take place in modern-day society. That shit went down from 1820-1900 in CHINA. CHINAAAAAA. Then Hollywood waves its gigantic whitewashing hands and POOF! Look, a white man. 

    FLOWERS OF WAR - imdb provides this very helpful summary for one of China’s most expensive-to-produce films to date:

    “A Westerner finds refuge with a group of women in a church during Japan’s rape of Nanking in 1937. Posing as a priest, he attempts to lead the women to safety.”

    SERIOUSLY?! 

    OUT.

    GET THE FUCK OUT.

    OUT OF MY HOUSE. 

    NOW.
