Stereotype

 

She is an aging businesswoman and the female warrior that wields a sword in Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. She turns Chinese morality and history upside down. And she starred as a sexy martial arts expert in the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. .
             There are many famous actresses in China. Why did the Hollywood director choose Michelle Yeoh? There are two reasons for it. First she is famous. Why is she famous in Hollywood? She was cast opposite Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond-epic Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). The second reason is Americans like her. Why do they like her? Michelle Yeoh is a unique beauty with mystical eyes, martial arts expertise, and a nasty roundhouse kick. Not only would she look stunning in an evening gown, but also she could beat the snot out of anyone who harassed her. All Hollywood directors know her as a female action star and the fact that she is beautiful makes her more memorable. Because of these, she has more chances than other Asian actresses.
             She was success in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In the year of 2001 Oscar award the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won four Oscar awards. Why did Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon win an Oscar award? What is the real appeal of the film for American viewers? How did this film make it big in Hollywood? Perhaps the film is appreciated because of the director, the theme of sword fighting and a unique love story twist. The female fighting scenes alone make this film worth seeing. What most viewers perhaps overlook is the fact that the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, features a leading woman that fights, as well as, or better than the men. .
             Another popular actress in film is Lucy Liu. She thought she could have a good development of movie in Hollywood because she was born in United States and she speaks fluent English. Liu was cast as one of the super trio of ass-kicking girls in the film, Charlie's Angels. The theme involves three women detectives with a mysterious boss, using martial arts and sex appeal to fight crime.
