Benjamin I.

I watched this movie before and it really made give me a venue to reflect of my own culture where women assigned with passive roles. The Chinese culture just like most Asian cultures attribute to women certain characteristics which are basically inferior to men. Of course, I observed lots of stereotypes in this movie.

The review of the movie in this essay is brief but concise, sharp and witty.
