      The Arabian Nights under the aesthetics of Hollywood in the 20th century can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard with a mysterious yearning for Asia. It is impossible to understand that the Mongolian prince that the Americans were implying at that time was actually the appearance of the Qing Dynasty, with a bit of prejudice and discrimination. (ps: Great respect to Anna May Wong, although she's not a likable character in this...
