Shang-Chi Marvel Simu Liu Marvel Studios
Shang-Chi is number ONE at the box-office for the THIRD week in a row! It's made over $300 MILLION worldwide. What a feat in this covid era for any movie, let alone an ASIAN-LED one!
I personally am feeling so inspired from watching Shang-Chi!! I don’t think I’ve ever understood what (Asian) representation feels like until I watched this movie. Being born in and raised in the US, as an Asian-American, I didn’t feel like I belonged. I spent a lot of my childhood living a double life – quiet and reserved at school, and felt much more at home in a Chinese school.
I've trained in Wushu since I was 7 but it wasn’t until I watched Mulan that I got the courage to show people who I really was. I never want my children to feel that way! I love how Shang-Chi the movie represented all of those groups, North American-born Chinese, overseas Chinese, and Asian immigrants as a whole. The characters were so relatable – from the nods to taking off our shoes, to getting scolded about getting married to our most filial friends, to getting scolded about our job choices – and it showed how there is actually someone like me in the writers’ room.
Cheers also for including Indian Americans as Asian-Americans because they are. The action scenes were phenomenal and you could tell the cast really poured their heart into training and preparing for performance. And finally, in the end credits, seeing the first Asian superhero actually stand beside Mr. Wong, Captain Marvel and Dr. Bruce Banner aka The Hulk, just made me realize that, oh man, this is real. This actually happened. Let’s keep these Asian-led blockbusters coming!!
尚氣與十環傳奇已經連續三週票房第一！全球票房收入超過 3 億美元。在新冠病毒的時間點還能有這樣的票房對任何電影來說都是一項壯舉，更不用說是以亞洲文化為主題電影了！
尚氣這部電影讓我受到了很多啟發！！在我看了這部電影之前，我感覺我從來都不知道（亞洲）被再現在大螢幕上的感覺。我在美國出生和長大，作為亞裔美國人，我時常找不到歸屬感。我的童年有很大部分時間都過著雙重生活——在學校安靜又拘謹，而到了中文學校才有家的感覺。我從 7 歲開始練習武術，但直到看到《花木蘭》，我才鼓起勇氣向其他人展現真正的自我。我不希望我的孩子在未來也有這樣的經歷！我喜歡這部電影《尚氣》的原因不只是因為好看，它也代表了所有以下這些群體，北美出生的華人、海外華人和整個亞洲移民。這些角色是如此的具有象徵意義，可以產生共鳴——從點頭到脫鞋、因為嫁給我們最孝順的朋友而被責罵、甚至是被質疑我們的工作選擇——這看得出編劇裡居然也有像我這樣的人，我也為電影將印度裔美國人納入亞裔美國人的一員感到開心。動作場面真的非常壯觀！你可以看出演員們真的全身心地投入到訓練和準備中。最後，可以看到第一個亞洲超級英雄站在王先生、驚奇隊長和布班納博士（綠巨人）旁邊，讓我意識到，天啊，這是真的嗎？我不是在做夢吧。我相信未來一定有更多亞洲文化主導題材的電影！！！
