Fresh Off The Boat Movie

My four films are 1. Black-ish, about an upper-middle class black family who live the all American Dream, start from nothing and becoming successful, and about the pros and cons they face because of their race. 2. Fresh off the Boat is about a family that are new to Florida and how the steps they take to be an all American family. 3. Charmed, which is about three sister; Phoebe, Piper, and Prue Halliwell who discover they are witches and use their powers to save the world on a daily basis. 4. Grease is a musical set in the fifties about teen’s who fall in love during the summer but unknowingly go to the same school, while being from to completely different groups. These teens change themselves so they can be together. Each of these films represent

The orientalism presents its self when the family start to socialize with their peers. In their new setting they present themselves as proper and and traditional as westerners perceive the Asian culture. In a more recent episode that aired the mother came home and complained to her husband about the house always being messy and wanting a little help once in a while, the husband takes this as the wife wanting a maid. So he gets her one as a gift. But as soon as she sees the maid she is immediately insulted by the gesture and explains to her husband that she doesn’t need a tutor in how to clean. Meanwhile the two oldest children were dealing with issues themselves. Both boys were starting a new year at middle school, while this year was the last for Eddie, it was the first year for Emery. The new school scared Emery but Eddie was there to offer him guidance and ease, but not in the way Emery thought. Eddie had told lies about what was acceptable for him to participate in due to his religion/culture. These lies included; sitting in the back of the classroom so his distance will show his honor and respect of the sanctity that is marriage, or that they couldn’t have any locker with the number four because in their culture the number sounds like death. All these lies push Emery to his boiling point and the truth come out when he wasn’t allowed to

One of the main stereotypes the film Grease reinforces are gender roles, and that would be that all men should be rich and successful, if they want to be worthy of any women’s attention. This stereotype is reinforced by the female roles in this movie. Which state that a woman needs a strong and wealthy man to keep herself satisfied, as if she’s not capable to care for herself, for example this stereotype is mentioned early on in the movie by the song Summer Nights, one of the lines says “Tell me more, tell me more. Like does he have a car?... How much doe did he spend?” this song also states that women should be content with holding hands and falling in love “He got friendly holding my hand, he was sweet just turned eighteen.” This song also states what a man’s main goal should be while out with a woman, “she got friendly down in the sand; well she was good you know what I mean.” There is even a bit of action hero/damsel in distress, “she swam by me she got a cramp, he ran by me got my suit damp, I saved her life she nearly drowned, he showed off splashing around. If during anytime a man or a women got confused as to what their roles would be in society, Grease clears it right
