No wonder there was a cultural warning. Polish–Palestinian actor Leon Thau in #yellowface.

Oh, thatʼs right, #yellowface in this one. Forgot about that.

You HAVE to make time to watch #BreakfastAtTiffanys, which despite the racist portrayal of #MickeyRooney in #YellowFace as Heartburn's (Holly GoLightly's) upstairs neighbor, is one of my fave movies of all time.

It's ranked 61st in one the AFI's list of 100 best movies ever made & the AFI later ranked the movie's theme song -- #MoonRiver at 4th of 109 mobies for the best song.

Nelio Biedermann – Lázár

In seinem zweiten Roman „Lázár“ entwirft Nelio Biedermann das unterkühlte Porträt einer wohlhabenden Familie, deren Glanz nach außen hin makellos scheint, während das Fundament längst Risse zeigt. Im Zentrum steht der junge Lazár, der in einer Welt des „Old Money“, strenger Konventionen und erdrückender Erwartungen aufwächst. Biedermann skizziert […]

I just re-watched the 1958 version of #TheQuietAmerican (starring Audey Murphy, an English actor whose name you'd never remember & an Italian actress in #YellowFace) which is set in #Indochina (aka #VietNam) in the 50's during the Vietnamese war vs the #French colonialist but is really about a #LoveTriange between an #American (who is probably a CIA -- then still probably known as the OSS -- agent, an English journalist & his Vietnamese mistress.

The film was remade in 2002 in a movie by the same name starring Michael Caine & Brendan Frazer. The 1958 movie is the better of the 2.

I have mixed feelings about this movie about 2 white men competing for an Asian woman, which reeks of the white male fetishization of Asian women but, if you strip away the inter-racial aspects of the film, it's mainly about what a man will do to save his relationship (including setting up his rival to be murdered) with the woman he loves.

I still give it a 6 out of 10 & own the DVDs of both versions.

I saw an earlier broadcast of #Yellowface on #PBS &, like others of Hwang's plays, I didn't like it. 🤷‍♂️

But #FrancisJue won a @TonyAward last night for his performance in the play on #Broadway (beating out #DanielDayKim who was nominated in another category) but I don't know what role Jue played because I turned off the show before he made an appearance.

So, I'll record the show again on 6/30 to take an actual look at Jue's performance.

Just a head’s up: You can watch the 2025 Broadway revival of the play “Yellowface”, which is nominated for 3 Tony Awards this year, for free on PBS (https://tinyurl.com/bdderr9w) and PBS Passport. It’s really moving, the performances are wonderful & it features #AANHPI talent

#bumblebees accidentally moved with some leaf compost here in Seattle, by in-laws.

Gentle critters; was able to scoop up entire assemblage on top of a double-handful of litter and put it all back in original location-- while the bees hovered along for the trip.

#YellowFace species? Not sure; IANAE. 🙂

Estoy leyendo Yellowface de R.F. Kuang y de verdad qué bien entiende el tema de Twitter y las bandadas de gente. #literaverso #bookstodon #Yellowface

#YellowFace is also playing across town from #MaybeHappyEnding and what contrast to how far we’ve come from the days of #MissSaigon.

I struggling to get into Yellow Face. About a third of the way in and this book doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The plot stagnated. I'm giving up, so I can pick up something else.

"Florence Pugh will play me. That girl from Crazy Rich Asians will play Athena."
This is such a brilliant little (almost throwaway) sentence in Yellowface.

R. F. Kuang sabe perfectamente lo que hace. "Amarilla" transmite a la perfección los temas de los que trata utilizando a June como narradora, un uso perfecto de un narrador no fiable al que se le escapan detalles entre líneas.

Igual la traducción del título se queda un poco corta en las connotaciones, "Amarilla" no llega a transmitir lo mismo que "Yellowface".

Miss Appropriation: my review of #Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang, a novel in which pretty much nobody's character appears in a good light. #Bookstodon

Yellowface is the Audible deal of the day, here in the UK anyway, and I give it the highest recommendation.
