Java Head (1934)
10/10
Old movie about international marriage
9 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
It is sad that Anna May Wong always has to die at the end of the movie but I loved the film. Very modern for 1934. Even though It had racist elements we all know that John Loder is her husband in the film.I did not like that it tells that us that international marriages are tragic. So this must mean that it can never work.If you are a Anna May Wong fan you will love the movie.I cried for Anna at the end.Her films do not get shown enough.Her aura is so regal.Interacial or international marriages are not new or a fad.I wish she had gotten the part of the wife in The Good Earth.I think it discouraged her from pressing on. I hope she knows that she has a lot of fans out here.I saw her in Shanghai Express as a child and I have never lost the feeling of wow who is she?
