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.

Finished #Yellowface! Entertaining but not exactly life changing. I think it's a solid 6.5/10
Would recommend overall
Tonight I couldn't resist grabbing a copy of #Yellowface at Relay while waiting to board the plane.
I've almost finished the book!
It's really entertaining and easy to read, I understand why it's become so popular
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. 🙂

Ohhhh yes. Yes yes yes. This was VERY good. Even with all the uncomfy feels.
#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.
