TAIPEI 101: A TRAVELOGUE OF SYMPTOMS (SENSITIVE VERSION)

United States, 2004) Dir./Wtr.: James T. Wong

An Asian American encounters the semblant operations of Americanization on a pilgrimage to Taiwan. He discovers that Taipei 101 is currently the world' s tallest building in Taiwan's culture, and his own consciousness are indelibly marked by globalization, America, capitalism, and the transnational power of white men. Just as masks protect individuals from SARS, censored remarks shield the sensitive viewer from possibly politically incorrect offenses and symptoms.
