| Sayonara | comment |
A 1957 drama film directed by Joshua Logan and starring Marlon Brando, Sayonara is the second most quintessential Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow film, after The World of Suzie Wong. It was adapted by screenwriter Paul Osborn from James Michener's 1954 novel of the same name.The film takes place in 1951 during The Korean War. Major Lloyd "Ace" Gruver (Brando), a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot stationed in Korea whose father is a four-star general and who is prejudiced against Asians, is irritated that many of his friends and associates are marrying Asian women (something that the Air Force, and the U.S. military as a whole, strongly disapproves of). Gruver is transferred to a desk job in Kobe, Japan under the command of his father's friend, Lt. General Webster (Kent Smith). He is also engaged to marry Webster's daughter, Eileen (Patricia Owens), but he doesn't seem to be particularly attracted to her. After reluctantly serving as best man at the wedding of his crew chief Joe Kelly (Red Buttons) to local woman Katsumi (Miyoshi Umeki), Gruver finds his prejudices challenged when he meets and falls in love with the beautiful Takarazuka actress and dancer Hana-ogi (Miiko Taka)...Earned Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Buttons) and Best Supporting Actress (Umeki)—the latter the first and only Asian performer to date to win said award. Ricardo Montalbán appears in Yellowface as Nakamura, while James Garner plays Marine captain Mike Bailey.Has absolutely nothing to do with 2015's contemplative film Sayonara by Kouji Fukada, set in a post-apocalyptic Japan. | |

Title Drop: The very last line in the movie. When reporters hound Gruver to comment on the backlash he is expecting from his superiors for marrying a Japanese woman, he answers, "Tell 'em I said 'Sayonara.'" | |

The Friends Who Never Hang: Hana-ogi says Fumiko (the girl Bailey regularly meets) is her best friend, and the only scenes they share together are when they're performing on stage or walking across the bridge with the other performers. | |

Career Versus Man: Hana-ogi is the star of an all-female musical theatre revue who is forbidden to marry - meaning she must see Lloyd in secret. She says that a girl would be dismissed if she were caught. The end implies that she'll try to do both; either forcing the revue she works for to let her marry Lloyd and continue performing, or move to America and perform there instead. | |

Artistic License – Military: Gruver is told he's being sent to Randolph Field. The field was renamed Randolph Air Base in 1948, three years before the movie takes place. Gruver is also said to be a West Point graduate, yet he wears his class ring on his right hand. West Point graduates always wear the ring on their left - as a mark of distinction. Junior officers are always expected to hold their salutes until returned by the senior officer. Likewise for an enlisted man saluting an officer of any rank. | |

Tsundere: Hana-ogi is a Type B, where she is initially cold and aloof towards Gruver whenever he visits her on the bridge. Yet on a day when he hides in the bushes, he can see her looking around for him, confirming she did have an interest. It's later said that she is still prejudiced towards Americans for the bombing of Kobe during World War II, meaning her attraction to him made her very conflicted. | |

Satellite Love Interest: We know very little about Katsumi as a person outside of her marriage to Joe - as she is still learning English. Her only act independent of him in the film is to be a fan of the Matsobayashi and introduce Lloyd to Hana-ogi (and vouch for his character). Averted with Hana-ogi though - who is a more developed character. | |

Crazy Cultural Comparison: The main plotlines involve more dramatic instances of Culture Clash, but there's a lighter scene early in the film, at the kabuki performance.

Rule of Symbolism: The couples enjoy a festival celebrating the Tanabata legend. Tanabata is about a pair of Star-Crossed Lovers separated by the river of the Milky Way - just as the US government plans to separate the men from their Japanese wives. Hana-ogi also takes Lloyd to see the Meoto Iwa - two rocks that were eventually joined by a rope in a makeshift marriage pact because it was logical that they be considered married after being together so long. Foreshadowing for how her and Lloyd will agree to stay together. | |

Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow | |
| Sayonara / int_9aebded4 | comment |
Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow: As noted in the introduction, one of the most iconic examples, as Gruver and Kelly both take up with Japanese women, who are both subservient to their men. Kelly however takes up more Japanese customs than Katsumi does American - and both are shown trying to learn the other's respective language (it's clear Kelly speaks more Japanese than Katsumi does English). Hana-ogi technically outranks Gruver, as she's a national celebrity and spends the first part of the film as the more dominant partner. It's in fact said that she's out of Gruver's league. There's the straighter example of Gruver's comrade Bailey's fling with a minor Matsobayashi performer Fumiko. And the film Gender Flips it by having Eileen - a respectable American twentysomething - pursuing the Kabuki star Nakamura. | |

At the end of that same scene, Mrs Webster tries to comfort her daughter being spurned for a Japanese performer. Eileen responds with: | |

Star-Crossed Lovers: Kelly and Katsumi - who face constant harassment from the military. They end up Together in Death. Gruver and Hana-ogi end up subverting the trope. | |

Together in Death | |
| Sayonara / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: One of the definitive cinematic examples, as Kelly and Katsumi are found in an embrace. | |

Old Maid | |
| Sayonara / int_ff2ceef1 | comment |
Old Maid: Hana-ogi says that when she gets too old to perform on stage, she will then become a tutor to the younger girls. When she discusses this fate later with Gruver, she says "do you think I want to be a lonely old woman who teaches dance?" | |

| Sayonara / int_ffaa675b | comment |
Asian Speekee Engrish: Averted when it comes to Katsumi. She's said to be learning English, so whenever she speaks it, she does so as realistically as someone who isn't used to. Also averted with Hana-ogi and Nakamura, who have perfect English. The latter was played by a Mexican actor putting on an accent, while the former's actress was second-generation from America, so that was how she spoke naturally. | |
