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.
