The 2017 American tv series "Good Doctor," starring Freddie Highmore, has recently come under fire.
Freddie Hammer plays the protagonist as autistic Sean Murphy. Although he is not very sociable, he is honest and frank and charismatic. He suffered from scholar syndrome and had a very unpleasant childhood, and later became a doctor who served the people.
The show's producer is South Korean actor Daniel Dae Kim, who said in a recent interview that when he first conceived the show, he intended to hire Asian-American actors as male lead actors.
However, another producer, David Shore, joined the team, who was worried that the use of Asian actors would not achieve the expected ratings, so they finally reached an agreement to invite Freddie Haimore as the male lead.
At present, the prevalence of the Asian-American anti-racial discrimination movement in the United States has also made many people criticize "Good Doctor", many white Americans believe that they believe that the drama has cultural encroachment and cultural possession, adding Korean film and television works to the stories of white people, occupying a weak culture, and the lead actor Freddie Haimore has also been attacked.
I think these Americans are also too fake, why didn't you say it at that time, what hindsight?
And I think Chinese culture, Japanese culture, Korean culture is not a weak culture now, when the Confucius Institute, Japanese cuisine, Korean stars have global influence today, China, Japan and Korean culture I think is not a weak culture, learning and imitating Chinese, Japanese and Korean culture I think it is not a cultural appropriation.
It's funny, I think these American keyboard men are really idle, "empathy" all day long to make subjective assumptions about the minds of Asians, and describe people in Asian countries as stingy.
In fact, when Katy Perry wears a kimono, spicy chicken sings "Chun-Li", and LOUIS VUITTON improves the design of the cheongsam, most people in Asia are partying and hoping to invite more American stars to travel and exchange in Asia.
Only white Americans are idle and stand up to criticize the cultural appropriation of these stars.
Although the remake of the Korean drama "Good Doctor" and the replacement of the position of Asian actor to the white person is some unfair to the Asian star, but far from what cultural appropriation, to attack you American Hollywood prejudice, do not say that the people in the Asian region are so stingy, in fact, the three Asian countries are still very confident in their own culture, and I will not be angry when they are imitated by foreign countries and used.
And what does it have to do with the male protagonist Freddie Highmore, who just takes a job and plays a play, but also criticizes others.
I'm really angry, in fact, I grew up watching Reddy Haymore, and his previous role in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is indeed a classic.
In 2007, he participated in the movie "Sonic Dream", and in 2013, he participated in the thriller American drama "Prelude to Horror", which are excellent works.
I think he won the role in "Good Doctor" by virtue of his strength,
Every day I see keyboard men on the Internet throw dirty water on such excellent people, and I really hate keyboard guys on the Internet.
But when I learned that Reddy Haymore was 29 years old this year, my heart was still shocked, and that cute little boy was almost thirty years old!
