...Research....
Media Representations
Who is being represented? "Japanese women" The text i have chosen is- The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, within this movie apart from showing the racing and tuned up carz, there are the Japanese girls which particularly men will focus upon.
In what way? Well looking at the movie overall, i mean like all the girls at night which are there at the races, are the girls from school. They are shown as if they are themselves in day, but a completely different person at night. Looking at them in that way, i think they are shown in a negative way, coz not all Japanese women can be like them, but here in the movie they've shown, what i think is reality.
By whom?
Why is the subject being represented in this way?
Is the representation fair and accurate?
What opportunities exist for self-representation by the subject?

...Introduction...
Im going to look at the Rep of Japanese Women, with a close reference to The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Tokyo Drift the 3rd Sequel was set in Japan, unlike the other two in America. Apart from the Underground Racing and the tuned up carz, Tokyo Drift give the men a range of Japanese Girls who are there for Sexual desires, they are seen as Sex objects.
"What i think i want to prove is that, is this the accurate representation of Japanese/Asian Girls or not."
