Statement (Intention)

What I did for the project was totally different from the proposal in which I planned to make a supercut of people’s over-exaggerated reaction after tasting the dishes in an animation Cooking Master Boy. Yet the project guidelines require us to create something meaningful so I first thought about relating those melodramatic reactions to fast food ads where hamburgers appear extremely tempting but not at all in reality… However, after talking to one of our TA, Kevin, last Thursday (Oct. 6th), we came up with the idea about gross American Chinese Food because it would not be very compatible to combine animation with real life ads while gross American Chinese Food is a good representative of culture remixes. Later on, a more “brilliant” idea occurred to me. Why should the theme be “gross”? Thus, the statement is:

My personal experience tells me that American Chinese Food is good to eat, but they are not real. Therefore, as a Chinese who is proud of the nation’s abundant cuisine culture, I feel obliged to clarify that most Chinese Food that Americans eat/like is not authentic or does not even exist in China.
