剧情介绍
From the outside, Philly based Korean American adoptee and fitness model Kevin Tae-jin Kreider seems to have it all, Looks, Muscles, Chutzpah, Confidence and Charisma. He has a popular Instagram and vlog and has modeled around the world for the likes of Men's Health, Gillette and Abercrombie and Fitch. Yet since childhood, he has always felt ugly and second best as an Asian male in America. THE UGLY MODEL examines the paradox of a handsome male model who feels ashamed, ugly and emasculated because of his Asian ethnicity in America. Why does Kevin still choose to be a male model where validation is based on physical appearance and his ethnicity defines his marketability? Is he a masochist for beating his head against the glass ceiling or is Beauty truly in the eye of the Beholder?

AAIFF 18, @Asia Society. 谁也说不清自信和美这两种东西是外露,可以修饰,还是自内而外去发改变的。好多家人朋友说,即使猛男对自己的怀疑别人都看得到。有多少是种族审美,有多少是self-loathing,影片大概讲了80%的清楚,很不错了。猛男在影片最后说,如果从来一次,一点都不会改变自己。本来就是,haters will hate,整了双眼皮,练出一身肌肉,不喜欢你的人还是会找一大堆借口来搪塞你。
