I'm always on the look out for American films that actually acknowledge that
there are more than two races in America.Unfortunately, while YELLOW does
in fact feature Korean Americans, it fails in too many ways.The title
itself is an in-your-face attempt to say "Hey!! THIS is
Asian-Americanism!!!"The characters seem to have been created to fulfill
the film maker's desire to represent Korean Americans.That's a trap that a
lot of films about ethnic minorities fall into, but sometimes with skilled
writing that purpose can be fulfilled while still creating characters that
seem real.Not so in this case, and in fact, they characters and story
don't give you any genuine feel for the issues facing Korean Americans
anyway.No point in taking the actors to task for their performances... the
finest thespians couldn't make these character's motivations tangible.The
story suffers from the "dummy-plot" syndrome.... there would be no story if
the characters weren't stupid.The story drifts aimlessly from one
contrived event to another.It eventually reaches such levels of
ridiculousness that you're wondering if the film maker just added scenes in
because it would be fun to shoot.That all being said... Chris Chan Lee
might have a good film in him.At times he displays a good visual sense.
Maybe if he was working with a writer who could craft a convincing story
with genuine emotion.But unfortunately, YELLOW is a film worth watching
only if you're writing a term paper on Asian American film.
