WARRIOR – Season 3, Episode 6 – There is No Future in People’s Ways

—NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED— A piece of history that happened after 1870’s, which the show is set in. The Chinese has ported into Germany during this time and have built their community. With WWII happening, the Chinese was unaffected unless their ideologies were brought to light. After Pearl Harbour, the Gestapo arrested Chinese Germans and Chinese nationals, putting them into concentration camps which led to torture, assault and slavery. I haven’t brought a piece of history to these reviews since Season 2, Episode 9.

Also in honor of Bruce Lee’s 50th Anniversary, it was good to see his daughter Shannon, finally having a role in the show, she helped put together. Bringing her father’s vision on the screen and […]

WARRIOR – Season 3: Episode 4 – Where Do We Belong in this World

Slight segue as I was watching this episode. “Joy Ride” just released and after watching it, it’s good to have representation but it dropped the ball on the storytelling. Last night after watching the film with a friend, he stated that one character should have been the main focus over the other because it was one Asian character instantly becoming friends with another Asian character. Something felt off and it was the instant that the one character came into an all white neighborhood. That made me realize that should have been the story. The character Lolo has a full Chinese family. They enter into the new neighborhood and a white family just adopted Audrey and want them to be friends. Before I go further, much respect to Adele Lim and the rest of the cast and crew for making the film, I don’t know what went on behind the scenes […]
