I will get right to the point by saying that Better Luck Tomorrow was the most messed up film that I have ever seen in my life. I will admit that some of the acting was good, but man that climax and ending was just messed up for me. To be fair though I don’t know if I could have made this better than it is now.
After the film ended some people may have heard me say, “That’s how the movie ends”?!
This film reminds me of another film by the name of American Hustle. The differences lie with the fact that this is based off of some true events, the mob is involved, and there were a lot of characters I didn’t like. The similarity with Better Luck Tomorrow is the fact that both films have a messed up storyline.
I wish there were more films that could depict Asian Americans, but not in a stereotypical negative way.
Donald Duk by Chin is a very good book that dives deep into the theme of identity. One graphic novel that this text is similar to is American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. It’s a very good graphic novel that covers three stories while keeping in tact with the identity theme.

The colors that Takucki Fuji used in his paintings brought out the mood very well.
I guess his paintings also acted as a diary because he was showing what was happening inside of the relocation camp.
Does anybody know what the little clay models represented? There were two that looked like faces while the others were just tiny little animals or turtles.
I’m not sure if anyone saw this, but at the art museum there was an exhibit next to the front desk. In that room there were two paintings that depicted asian artifacts from a Westerner’s point of view. I thought it was really interesting.
