Why is there always some white anglo dude playing the role of hero throughout time in the Asian culture? There always seems to be a Samurai Warrior Legend who is clearly caucasian. How does that happen? It’s way more lame than the asian women like white guys whine, not that there is anything wrong with that, I don’t care who likes who, so I’ll get back to the movie thing.
Enter the Ninja, Karate Kid, Last Samurai to name a few, Heck even Richard Gere became a sorta hero in Tibet and it wasn’t in a movie role! He is now banned from China.
Anyway, we put white heroes in Asian centric films so we (caucasians) have something to aspire to. Someday, I’m gonna be a fighting master with incredible courage and rescue some Asian people. I guess it’s only fair though, Jackie Chan keeps cleaning up messes in the USA.
Maybe there is something to this outsider hero business. Usually someone on the outside has a clearer view of what’s going on, maybe we all need an outsider to join our cause, to be our hero. OK, I’m over it. I have no issues with this move issue any longer. And I’m going to keep an eye out for my hero of another ethnicity.
