Everyone is happy for rising actor GQ Qi – the network, his mother, his best friend – everyone except GQ himself. He is stuck playing an offensive stereotype on a television sitcom, and the day he decides to speak up for himself on set, the executive producer fires him. Struggling to pick up the pieces, he starts dating A-list casting director Rachel. Love and work become intertwined. Their relationship survives the protestations of GQ’s mother and best friend, but starts to show strain as it becomes clear that GQ is unable to land another acting gig. As pressures from work, love and family come to a head, GQ must confront the hard question: How much of himself will he compromise for career success?
A Leading Man評論(4)
“一個領導人”說明了亞裔美國人必須定期面對的竹林天花板的掙扎,特別是在好萊塢,這是社會其他部分的說明,就像一個人的社交生活。我不是電影評論家,但我確實發現所有演員都表現得非常逼真,到了我覺得GQ Qi(主角)似乎感覺到的角色。這可能是因為Steven J. Kung能夠捕捉到亞裔美國人的部分經歷,這讓我想起了自己的經歷。
然而,雖然我確實覺得這部電影在描述好萊塢對亞裔美國人的待遇方面略有重複,但我還記得,這部電影是相同的,因為Bamboo Ceiling似乎是電影的焦點。更具體地說,刻板印像是亞裔美國人被定型為屈從和冷漠的想法,導致你的普通美國人(他們可能只通過電視和好萊塢鏡頭曝光某些種族)認為亞裔美國男人不具吸引力,領導人。總而言之,這部電影很高興看到,我絕對建議你看看“一個領導人”。四顆星。
