In recent years, Asian and Asian American cinema has been taking over the world. From Crazy Rich Asians to Parasite to Chloe Zhao's most recent Oscar win, it feels like watershed moment for Asian representation in Hollywood. But, this success didn't come out of nowhere. Join us as we look back at the most successful Asian American entertainers of the 19th and 20th century, and attempt to answer the question: When did Asian American cinema really begin?

Chinese Summary (中文總結): 在美国的好莱坞,很少会看到亚裔美国人演主角在电影和电视剧里,但是亚裔美国人还是在摄影圈里有一个很丰富的历史。而且,在十九世纪末,Chang 和 Eng Bunker 是两个很有名的亚裔表演者。因为他们两个是连体双胞胎,很多人从很多不同地方在美国会去看他们的表演。最终,他们退休的时候,一段时间以来,是美国最富的男人们。除了Chang 和 Eng Bunker,在一九三十年代以前,只有Anna May Wong 和 Sessue Hayakawa 在好莱坞留下了很重的印象,还被授予了好莱坞星。Anna May Wong 的表现在 “The Gallery of Madame Liu Tsong” 把她变成了美国第一个亚裔美国人在一部美国电视剧里演主角。Sessue Hayakawa最有名的电影叫 “The Bridge on the River Kwai“,因为他赢了 Academy Award 最佳男配角奖。在这播客系列里,我们希望你们能学到亚裔美国人的印象在世界的电影圈里,也能听到许多故事你们从来都不知道。最后,我们希望这播客系列也可以扩散你们了解亚裔美国人的经历。
