Synopsis
From critical indie darlings like Chan Is Missing to epic Hollywood favorites like Marvel's Shang-Chi to beloved works from overseas like Parasite, The Golden Screen is a look back at big-screen works featuring Asian images that inspired, inflamed, and enraptured audiences across a century of cinema, beginning with 1915's silent classic The Cheat and continuing through to the Daniels' 2022 breakout Everything Everywhere All at Once. Packed with vintage photos, original artwork, one-of-a-kind conversations with Asian America's leading performers and filmmakers, and nostalgic reflections from dozens of leading Asian American commentators, this unique collection reminds us how deeply movies shape society and identity-and how much representation matters, then and now., In 2018, the critical and financial success of Crazy Rich Asians ignited new fires in Hollywood to create and back Asian-centric stories. Since then, the number of movies featuring Asian Americans, either in front or behind the camera, has boomed and ushered in a new era of filmmaking. But many films, like The Joy Luck Club in 1993, paved the way for Asian American-led films before Crazy Rich Asians and to today. The Golden Screen is an in-depth look at those films, and the factors that played into their success. The Golden Screen includes commentary and conversations from Hollywood's most visible faces, such as Simu Liu, Lulu Wang, Daniel Dae Kim, Janet Yang, Ronny Chieng, Alice Wu, and Ken Jeong. See the movies that inspired today's modern stars to enter moviemaking, and how they're paying it forward to the next wave of creators.Featuring beautiful, original artwork from nine esteemed Asian illustrators, including: Toma Nguyen, barbarian flower, Jun Cen, Cryssy Cheung, Cliff Chiang, Yu-Ming Huang, JiYeun Kang, Ashraf Omar, and Zi Xu.A beautiful keepsake and collection of over 100 photographs and original art, The Golden Screen is perfect for movie and history fans alike, and reaffirms the importance of the Asian American film canon, and all the people involved, in an increasingly diverse Hollywood., From a New York Times bestselling author, this groundbreaking book celebrates and examines the history of Asian Americans on the big screen, exploring how iconic films have shaped Hollywood, representation, and American culture.
