Year: 1934 Genre: Occult Rating: UR (Recommended: PG-13) Country: USA Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 2 minutes

Plot: The biracial daughter of a voodoo priestess returns home to exact revenge on a plantation owner.
Review: This film is a glimpse into the true evil of 1930s American racism and the manner in which Hollywood kept it alive. It is irredeemable, with every inch of it having been infected by antiblackness.
Overall Rating: 0/5
Tumblr media
Story: 0/5 - Though it is boring and barely coherent, its biggest sin is that it came from a place of pure hatred. It was clearly designed to reinforce the evil idea that white plantation owners were noble heroes and black people were lazy, stupid, evil predators.
Performances: 1.5/5 - Some performances are fine but generic, some are bad, and some are so offensive it's hard to watch.
Tumblr media
Cinematography: 2.5/5 - Almost entirely composed of boring medium and long shots.
Editing: 1.5/5 - Stilted and often abrupt.
Music: 2/5 - Generic.
Sets: 2.5/5 - It's all very cheap but some are sufficient enough.
Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 2/5 - Unmemorable costumes that don't change.
Trigger Warnings:
The entire story is propaganda designed to reinforce the idea that black people are dangerous and stupid, Voodoo is murderous devil worship, white southerners are pure heroes, and ending slavery was bad
A biracial lead character and a black character are both played by white actors--there isn't blackface make-up, but they are still performing blackface
Mild violence
Attempted rape (not graphic)
Real animal cruelty and murder (a snake is bludgeoned to death, an alligator is wrestled)

On Some Other Whitings and Others of Vaudeville
On Some Other Whitings and Others of Vaudeville
The title of this post is devised because its core subject is no apparent relation to either George Whiting or Jack Whiting, each of whom we have profiled, and it will concern not only songwriter Richard A. Whiting (1891-1938) but also many of his partners and relations who also figure in show biz history. The photo above is from the official Richard Whiting website. And if you do not know the…

“She used Wong’s biography, From Laundryman’s Daughter to Hollywood Legend by Graham Russell Gao Hodges, as a jumping-off point. But then Chazelle emailed her: The character would not be Anna May Wong, but would be inspired by her. She would be called Lady Fay Zhu.” ⠀ “𝙰 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚎, 𝚘𝚋𝚟𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚕𝚢, 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍,” 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝙻𝚒, 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚘𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚐𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝙻𝚒𝙻𝚒. “𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎, 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚏𝚎𝚕𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚜𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚞𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚕.” ⠀ Read more here (slight spoilers): https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/12/babylon-li-jun-li-interview-playing-anna-may-wong-onscreen-awards-insider ⠀ 🎭Fictionalized: Lady Fay Zhu is a character inspired by Anna May Wong. Lady Fay Zhu is a lesbian in this film. ⠀ “While there have been many rumors that Anna May Wong may have had affairs with women, none of these claims has ever been substantiated with much evidence. For example, I was able to confirm with Marlene Dietrich’s daughter that Marlene and AMW were never lovers. (Marlene was too busy with Josef von Sternberg, Maurice Chevalier, and Mercedes de Acosta anyway!) AMW’s romantic affairs that we do know about were with white, straight men—Tod Browning, Marshall Neilan, Constant Lambert, Eric Maschwitz (some of these, however, occurred when she was underage, so “romantic affair” is not the best term)—and are substantiated by third party observers. Of course, it’s possible that AMW was queer, but whether she ever expressed that identity remains unknown. She was also friends with many LGBTQ people who had to remain closeted, like Ramon Novarro, Judith Anderson, and Carl Van Vechten.” -Katie Gee Salisbury (@kayteesal), AMW biographer ⠀ That being said the performance of @lijunli is one of the highlights of the film. Keep in mind, it’s not biographical. #annamaywong #babylonmovie #lijunli #oldhollywood #1920s #tcm https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQkBEuMr3H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
