(entry not written by me. comments made do not reflect some sort of hidden agenda. this is just something of interest. k thx bye) This is a indie-flavah film currently released in theatres across the country. Not in Houston apparently. Better Luck Tomorrow

Better Luck Tomorrow is a visually frenetic, stylish and intellectually driven drama about a group of overzealous Asian American youth whose lives intertwine as they transform from school nerds to sociopaths. Better Luck Tomorrow explores the psyches of young Asian American youth of the Post Generation X era who seek to carve their own identities in communities that prefer to compartmentalize them. The representations of Asian Americans in film as well as stereotypes in reality have always polarized Asian Americans as model minority or violent gangster. These suffocating roles have left no choices in between for young Asian Americans to aspire to while holding onto their shifting and ever-changing cultural identity. Better Luck Tomorrow is neither restrained nor quiet, but very much loud, rude, controversial and non-apologetic. It will outrage many and prompt audiences to think. The film aggressively resists and defies all definitions and stereotypes of the Asian American film genre. The story of Better Luck Tomorrow is extremely relevant as we increasingly hear about violent eruptions by teenagers in quiet, suburban communities. It examines one specific instance of angst turned to violence, but exemplifies the larger issue of teen violence plaguing the country. This story is timely, important and must be told now.
