Gook: Okay, I wanted to avoid as much as possible going into the signifiers of each character. First, I want to say that this ending was THE WORST, but only at first. Don’t get me wrong, I get the reasoning and even more "the work” that questions the society from Kamila’s passing. However, this cinematic cliffhanger right at the edge of the examination of the implicit socio-normative ethics that mystifying Asian American experiences left me flaming mad. This movie was done in 2017, but I’m still screaming “C’mon” at the end of this movie because there is just so much conversation to be had after the ending. Both the theme and plot are just left to the imagination and it ticks me off. This is definitely hyper-attentive and (probably) unfair of me. Anyway, the main discussion here that runs the message of the movie is this “Myth of the Model Minority” and the African American communities. Essentially, that Asian Americans face both racist and stereotypical prejudice for an arbitrary standard of success and social mobility. In other words, American Asians are targeted for notions of achievement as a "social status” in American. Both using racism against and to justify exclusion of other minority groups even when the status doesn’t exist (i.e the myth behind the "myth of the model minority”). Kamilla is just black girl magic, that is all. In all seriousness, the way that violence effect communities of color is so painful to see on screen. We are just with Afro-futurism at the end of this movie and I’m just like……..sure, I guess that works, maybe?  Also, Imma just throw this out there. It’s definitely fuck Mr. Kim bro!!!!
