She Physically Turned Into A Blonde Woman!

This asian girl literally and physically and biologically just turned herself white But it came with a price Have you ever suffered the injustice of being a person of color in this world? Have you ever had someone tell you how impressed they are? How well you speak english without an accent? Or are you just tired of the way white folks look at you If you can't beat them Them I have some sad news. I'm not gonna run for prom queen You think olivia's racist and stupid so help me beat her for prom queen I have a whole plan Vote for me vote for me I've decided i'm gonna endorse one girl for prom queen someone we all want to be irregardless of prejudice I can see your black roots All right. No, this is not a real news story This is a movie a actual horror comedy Directed by amy wang featuring shirley chen who i've met briefly who also starred in dd Which another was another asian directed indie movie really good job But what do you guys think my first reaction was like hey this kind of has like get out vibes because it's kind of like body horror Uh, but it's a little bit comedic But then get out I will say actually wasn't as comedic as I think this one is this one's definitely a little bit more Clearly obviously satire and I understand that the movie get out was a totally ridiculous premise But now given all this transhumanism talk by peter teal and brian johnson pumping his body full of his young son's blood I don't know. It's actually not that far away from happening Anyways, I think that this concept by amy wang is really really interesting because it's kind of like something that we've talked about in The asian american sphere or just about identity in general for almost any minority by the way But kind of asians in particular about turning white like we all kind of know like there was an asian girl But less so the asian guy, but it was easier for the asian girl to kind of like bleach their hair Kind of act a certain way kind of put on makeup Maybe they happen to have like slightly more rounder eyes for an asian girl and they could almost from afar seem Like a blonde girl but now this movie really delves into that, you know that self hatred and that self shame that they have and you know, it really probably is to at the end of it all a a Love yourself type movie, but you know wrapped up in a very horrific Scene I decided to talk about this movie because I actually came across one of the clips on instagram now I don't know if they want this clip to be released, but I saw it on instagram I'm gonna play it and it's just a part of her meeting her parents as the blonde girl that she wanted to turn into Who are you? It's me. Sorry. Uh, you have wrong house. Sure wrong house, please dad. It's me. Hey mom You have a birthmark on your left thigh Your favorite dessert is the dried taro cake from down the street your favorite cd Asking me to make dumplings with you last week dad, we were writing a song here a few days ago mom Grandma took this to me one of us five We were sitting right there whenever you whenever you slice your hand open and we had to sew it up and you asked me To take over your cleaning duties. I had surgery to look like You're not my daughter When Are you guys at least like a little bit happy for me? Hey shout out to that blonde actress I mean, I don't know if she actually learned the chinese or they dubbed it for her But that wasn't bad in the comments a lot of people compare this to the movie substance which came out before Now that doesn't mean that amy wang was copying the movie substance I do think this whole like body shaming kind of concept has been around There's also this new series out about like this substance that makes people prettier So definitely this whole thing with the whole looks maxing and social media and everybody's at ig model It totally is in the zeitgeist. So i'm not surprised that there's uh similar concepts that come out I don't think she copied her because at the end of the day She was probably working on this movie a long long time ago. Let me say something about substance Okay, it features demi more i'm gonna play a quick clip One single injection Unlocks your dna and will release another version of yourself this is the substance bro Let me just be honest when I was like five years old and I saw a movie trailer for the movie striptease Featuring demi more I straight I turned I entered boyhood. All right, i'm serious Shout out to demi. I might have to watch substance just for the nostalgia factor Anyways in a interview with the director amy wang on joy sauce.com. She did say this thing that I thought was interesting She's from australia original. She's a chinese australian. She goes This entire film is really kind of an autobiography on my life And what I went through as a teenager and thoughts of emotions. I felt as a 16 year old and 17 year old girl That's where it all started. I grew up in sydney australia. I was an immigrant I couldn't speak a word of english when I moved to australia when I was seven and I really had to assimilate and integrate Myself into the culture. I definitely felt othered and throughout my life So the concept is grounded in that experience and my own personal experience of being asian australian So what I want to say is that this is something very relatable that a lot of people go through and particularly asian women because also one women beauty standards are on a whole nother level than men and I think we can all agree and there's a lot of factors to the reason why but It's a fact and then also being asian girls Often asian women have an easier time at least Going in and out of being fluid of being seen as non-asian. Like I always say that's a joke. This is a joke It's like if you got like a white frat party, right? And then you see like two asian girls enter every dudes are like, oh, yeah, dude more chicks, bro. Hell Yeah, and then if you see two asian dudes enter they're like why are there so many asian dudes here? Well all who brought all the asians, you know and and it just kind of goes to show you that like I think a lot of men and This relates to a lot of what we talk about on this channel that asian women are often caught Really in between of like yo, what do I want to be and it's not just being blonde and you know It could be on the other side. It could be just relating to other races as well But you know, we all know that this is a thing that's happened. And so i'm really glad That amy wang Made this movie and she's really like wants to spark this conversation about shame and beauty standards And it's not just and it's crazy because listen, let's be honest. Asian women got different beauty standards They can either they they got the got the asia beauty standards Like, you know the kind of k-pop idol j-pop idol move standards of being stick skinny and being like egg yo You know and then they also got the ones where oh they now in america. They feel pressure to to be blonde so, you know, I think there's a lot of uh body there's there's a lot of body issues basically and and I just think like You know, it's an interesting movie and yeah, you guys should watch it and I want to watch it Uh, even though like yeah parts of it like looked goofy in the clip, but that's because it is literally satire So it's not like trying to be like horror horror serious thriller all throughout is absolutely satire And I think that was a way to do it. So anyways guys slanted also reminds me Of this get out parody that me and david did uh many many years ago i'll play the clip. Oh Where's the Yep, where who are you? What are you doing? Get away from me with that thing, man Great what am I supposed to do with this? Hey, jeremy. Yeah, it's dad. I got a question for you. Where'd you nab this guy? I asked for a top player from the league Oh, yeah, he is from a league, huh? Which league would that be the badminton league? the six foot and under league the league of legends Jeremy i'm gonna be honest with you. Dad's a little p.o right now We're gonna talk about this later with mom. Okay All right. I'll talk to you later. Bye Are you gonna take my kidneys and sell them on the black market or something? No, no, no, no, no. No, what kind of low-class operation do you think this is? Oh I know what you're gonna do. You're gonna take that old rich white guy's brain and stick it into my younger fit exotic body, huh? No, no, no, there's gonna be no body switching today. I think my customer over there would be a little bit upset about that Oh wait Why not? What do you mean? You know, it's just like maybe it's not uh, you know, is it because i'm an asian guy? You know what? I don't want to have this conversation. Oh, okay. I get it. You don't think asian guys are cool enough to body snatch Well, i'll tell you this asians we're coming up we're super hot right now Not super hot, but we're warming up We got a lot of cool things going for us and guess what? We're doing a lot of things that people didn't expect us to do. Yeah, i'm right there with you, buddy You guys are doing good stuff I mean i've never come across a spicy tuna roll that I didn't like and my portfolio is heavily weighted in china and southeast asia and let me tell you before I met my wife, I did have a heavy asian phase but uh Listen, here's the deal this old guy over here. He's an old buick He just wants to slip into something more exciting and sporty like a mustang imagine if he paid all that money and the next day he woke up in a Camry what's wrong with camrys? Those are great cars to watch the rest of that parody click on the link down below But anyways, let me know what you guys think about this movie slanted It's a real movie it got written it got produced it touches on some real things It is supposed to be a horror body horror comedy Satire. All right, so slanted till next time guys I'm out. Peace
