A real Japanese or Chinese or Korean should sue Adachi, just as native Americans sued a football team for using "Redskins". Why would any “asian”use the title “Slanted Screen”? A real Japanese or Chinese or Korean should sue Adachi, just as native Americans sued a football team for using “Redskins”.

You're lucky that you're in the Bay Area where they did that "double feature." I thought THE SLANTED SCREEN was also quite good. It's great to see more recent documentaries about Asians in the media. Quite a lot has happened since the late 90s. And I got tired of seeing SLAYING THE DRAGON (1988) over and over again in my Asian American Studies classes. Glad you caught it.

It brought up a lot of films I've known about but haven't seen and now have a desire to watch. There was one quote by B.D.Wong I'd like to write an entire post about, and will save it for a future article. The other surprising thing about watching it, was that it was followed immediately with a screening of the <a href="http://www.slantedscreen.com/" rel="nofollow">"The Slanted Screen: Asian Men in Film and Television"</a>, the 2006 documentary by Jeff Adachi @Joz: I fixed the post to read “Asians in cinema”
