,” the recent animated feature from DreamWorks and Pearl Studios that’s now on Netflix.
Taking the responsibility of representation seriously, Chou believes, is another benefit of hiring Asian American creatives to tell their own stories. On “Over the Moon,” she was adamant that every animated character in the film must be voiced by Asian actors and that the production would include these voices department-wide, from songwriting to animation.
“Being paid this way makes you feel that this is how much your contributions are worth,” Lim says of the situation. “It wasn’t about the money; it was about the industry and the system. What I make shouldn’t be dependent on the generosity of another white writer.” “In my opinion, writers of color aren’t given the equal opportunities to fail,” she continues. “When an Asian American show doesn’t do well, often the studio’s reaction would be ‘Oh well, it didn’t do well, because it was about Asians and people don’t care about them.’ White shows fail all the time, but their whiteness is never considered their reason for failure.”
So by this logic only white people should write stories about caucasians due to a lack of authenticity from creators of color? What applies to one, should apply to all. Denying ANY artist work based on their race & not their talent is racism. Period. DoBetter WhiteHateIsRacist
bkrewind The lesson I got from mulan is that women apparently need to have supernatural powers to be able to best men in combat, lame...
🙄 I remember when movies were entertaining. What an insufferable group of people.

nancywyuen Lulu says she doesn't mean that only Chinese ppl can write & direct the movie, but 3 paragraphs down, she says white ppl doing it in other movies loses the nuances of Chinese culture. So doesn't that mean she'd rather have Chinese ppl writing & directing the Lang movie after all?
Delusional
Sadly, it’s a fear made reality; and white filmmakers have repeatedly made the same mistakes. & embarrassing to continue seeing white directors/writers make white savior movies & films centered on Black, Indigenous, & BIPOC’s suffering then win awards for it 🥴🤮
Thanks for the shout out but I am Nancy Wang “Yuen” not Yeun. (Thanks steveyeun for being so famous lol).
The only thing Hollywood should stop using in Chinese culture film is the fucking CHI. Jesus, CHI is not something like a Bruce Lee mysterious power, it's more like an energy healing way of Chinese Medical.
What an a-hole Lim is.
No one asked for a sequel.
