The Unloved, Part 112: Paint Your Wagon

Yes, I know it was just April 1st, but your eyes do not deceive you. It's about time for a spirited defense of "Paint Your Wagon." 

The famously derided musical was one of the films that helped kill the entire genre for about 25 years. I understand America's hunger was for grit and realism, but I also don't understand how this enormous, obscene object hasn't won more converts over the intervening decades. So take a deep dive with me back into the world of Josh Logan's career-ending farce.

Victim/Suspect

The cultural reckoning of #MeToo has made everyone more aware of the common horror of sexual assault (more than 460,000 annually in America, according to the Department of Justice) and, in turn, the damage of a false accusation. But it has always been about taking each instance on a case-by-case basis, even when the media takes a traumatic story to the tribunal of public opinion.   Nancy Schwartzman ’s harrowing documentary “Victim/Suspect” wades into tricky waters to ultimately make a vital point. By focusing on young victims who were then arrested for making false accusations, the film is an urgent reminder of the nuance with which each sexual assault case must be handled, starting with the authorities. As the eye-opening journalism within this movie proves, young women like Emma, Nikki, and Diyanie were intimidated by police during overlong depositions and pushed into recanting their statements. Their hope of finding safety and justice ended with them in handcuffs....

Disney Version of American Born Chinese Entertains Even as It Dilutes Its Source

Before Asian representation in American blockbuster entertainment like “ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ” and “ Crazy Rich Asians ,” Gene Luen Yang’s 2006 YA graphic novel American Born Chinese was one of the very few works of media that existed in a once barren media landscape. The book discussed the complexities of growing up Asian in America, covering self-acceptance, assimilation, racial identity, and breaking down racial stereotypes, all while riffing on Wu Cheng'en’s “ Journey to the West .” The Disney+ television adaptation of “American Born Chinese” attempts the same feats as Yang’s novel but doesn’t quite have the same impact. Developed by “Bob’s Burgers'' writer/producer Kelvin Yu , the series centers on Jin Wang (Ben Wang), a second-gen Chinese American teenager in suburban California who wants to lead an ‘American’ life.
