Grace Lee

First of all, I preferred this movie much more than the Angela Shelton one. Because the Grace Lee movie doesn't just focus on Grace Lee, the filmmaker herself. This movie isn't like the previous one where all she says is this happened to me and just cries about it.

Grace Lee movie is great in a way that it doesn't focus on how a person is because of their name. This movie shows that you are not what your name describes but rather what you do and what you believe in. This movie is her journey in finding the different characteristics of Asian women that has the name Grace Lee, which is very common. Grace Lee beliefs are that the majority of the Grace Lee's are naiive, quiet, shy, asian, and very passive. However, through her journey she finds out that may be majority of them are like this, but they are like this for a choice and there are others Grace Lee who are wild, brave, and active. Like the Korean Lesbian activisit and that old lady who is a black activist movement. It is not only just Grace Lee's journey but also a journey where we find out that many sterotypes that are being used on asian american aren't always true.
