The Asian community in Western countries has long been subjected to derogatory and stereotypical portrayals in mainstream media, such as the labels of yellow peril and model minority, which are constructed based on the Orientalism ideology, resulting in ongoing discrimination and marginalization. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a surge in hate crimes and violence against Asians in Western countries. Tragically, some have politicized the pandemic, using it as an excuse to justify discrimination based on geographical origin. Cinema representations are inevitably impacted by ideologies based on societal issues. From Anna May Wong to Parasite, there has been an increase in Asian voices that allows Asians to actively express themselves and escape the racial tropes created by mainstream media. Recently, a film entitled Everything Everywhere All at Once spotlights a Chinese immigrant family in the United States and blends science-fiction, comedy, and action into the story. This film is going to be used as a case study to highlight the reconfiguration of Asian female characters and the defiance of dominant mainstream narratives. Through the lens of the current social context, this paper aims to examine the influence of Orientalism and the stereotypical portrayals it has oppressed onto Asian Americans, especially females, and how this oppression is reflected through mainstream Asian American females' portrayals, and implied their dilemma regarding their identities.
