I didn't mind the movie so much that it did play on very old old hollywood stereotypes of Asian men. We have to understand Hollywood is a social propaganda machine thats here to brainwash and correct us on our social behavior. We are brainwashed and mind controlled by movies since we are little. Example we are taught that black men can't date white women, and often times we are taught from movie Black men are the Criminals of our society and we need to watch out for them.
the same kinda thing has occurred to Asian men we are good at math and we can do your math homework while the while characters Party and have wild sex, and we so socially retarded we can never date get with any girls (yes I know the most populated people in the world, yet hollywood believes they can't date and mate at all) if you study the history of cinema this horrific thing hollywood has done to minorities was started pretty much the first images were put on film. Its a little shocking we are in the year 2011 and little has changed.
In the movie Green Hornet all I can do is laugh at the irony that Jay Chou a multimillionaire in Asia, the Justin Timberlake of asia has trouble getting with a old hag like Cameron Diaz, who looked like she was almost 50. In Asian girls would literally shave their heads just to spend 5 mins with Jay. And I was embarrassed for the writers, that part of the film seemed inept and lacking, that part of the movie just seemed so out of place and awkward.
but in my opinion I don't feel Green Hornet was as negative as other films in recent times IE The Hangover. Because Green Hornet is sort of a HOMAGE a tribute of older concepts and old times, for example it would be like making a 1830's film of the south and seeing African Americans as slaves, OFFENSIVE YES, but true to the time very much so. Well Green Hornet was in many ways a movie set in an earlier time, LOOK at the CAR Black Beauty a 1964 Impala? (you guys can double check my research on that) And Britt doesn't even get a Gun to use, he has a gas gun which looked like it was made in the 50's.
So the best way I can defend this movie is that its made from source material of an earlier time, and we are all familiar with what the roles were. Obviously if Hollywood made an 2011 Original Brand New Super Hero show/movie with similar themes and stereotypes , the audience has more of a right to be offended.
