Rewatched #RogersAndHammerstein's #TheFlowerDrumSong (1961) again yesterday.
Many #AsianAmericans, like me, have a love/hate relationship with this movie because of all of the #Asian & #Chinese stereotypes that it portrays & because most of the actors in the film weren't even Chinese.
The film is also pretty misogynistic & gender limiting too which is consistent with the times.
That said, I remember when how excited my mother & the Chinese community in #SFChinatown were when the movie was released because it was the 1st time that the Chinese were portrayed in the film with anything close to our reality & because it was the 1st & only film (until #TheJoyLuckClub (1993) in which the cast was almost entirely #Asian. . . .
It's nonetheless an important film to watch in terms of understanding how Asians are under represented in American media.
The Wiki synopsis of the film is pretty good & worth reading if you have any interest in the film & Asian American media.

@progressiveartist I don't know that any of us #readers "need to" read anything in particular but there are a lot of amazing stories based in south Asia and north Asia. Many that I've read have focussed on the diasporas. #TheJoyLuckClub by #AmyTan was one of the books that started me on my Asian journey (literally since I eventually moved to Việt Nam, twice). #AmitavGhosh is another writer that I've read a great deal of. #TheKiteRunner, by #KhaledHosseini. There are so many.
