The "Sexualized Oriental Woman"

In "Orientals" Robert Lee discusses the sexualized Oriental woman as "available and mute but proletarianized sexuality that mirrored the exoticized female long displayed in the Western literary tradition of Orientalism. If not contained by race, this image of female sexuality, uninhibited albeit coerced, threatened to undermine the image of the passionless True Woman as the moral center of the chaste and obedient social order" (89). What do the films such as "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" add to the American vision of the sexuality of Asian women? Do they reinforce this uninhibited, threatening image, or do they fight against it in some ways? And what do these films say about American women?
