Actually the movie is real
In fact, this movie is really real for Chinese, Asians, or Asians who grew up abroad, and it is not an exaggeration at all. Whether it's the characters, lines, scenes, things, lifestyles, or even the characters' thoughts, they can all resonate. No matter what the family conditions are, you can see...

I don't like [Crazy Rich Asians] at all, but it exploded in North America
When we were studying, our foreign teacher kindly recommended a small shop, claiming that there was "the best hamburger in Harbin".
When I entered the house, I saw that the boss was a foreign couple. Burger, a beef patty with lettuce and tomatoes.

The director team of this film, headed by Zhu Haowei, may have opened their minds and had some kind of friendship with Happy Twist, so that this film was put together with this year's "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Li Cha's Aunt" to form a trilogy. It doesn't violate the harmony; from the current point of view, this film is like an unclaimed abandoned baby. It is not made of Asians, nor rich people, nor rich Asians, but it can travel abroad. Crossing the sea set off a frenzy on the other side of the ocean, and, of course, it does not belong to the America where Hollywood is located, but instead opened a window of nothingness for Asians, a window for the West to "peep"; After the material aspect of money is displayed, the second half of the paragraph turns around again and begins to praise "noble love". It may not express material worship so blatantly and uncomfortable, but it also conveys in another way "with Money has everything"; and, in the past, no matter which film I heard "Sweet Honey" and "Full Moon Flower", I would feel that it was a kind of existence that complemented each other, but this time I deeply felt that it might be Teresa Teng and Zhou Xuan were most misunderstood.

In this film, it is not difficult to find a few traces of Chineseness in the matrix of Western modernity, but the dualistic setting of diaphoresis ruins the film. On the Yang family's side, the mix of Singapore's position in Asia and the West, and how its modernity has fermented, can be revealed at a glance. Rachel's background is the United States, which is known as a melting pot. When you touch it easily, doesn't the theme of Chinese diaspora and identity emerge? But this era doesn't have the ability or the mood to enjoy/make a film that explores mixed identities. In the face of identity violence, it is most convenient to escape to the fairy tale framework of the past. It is thankless to bother to compare and watch the distress and anxiety of being a Chinese. Anyway, in the process of globalization, the opposition between civilization and civilization disappeared early in the morning. Behind every individual is the nourishment of civilization delivered by the people of the world for you. Who can find their own authenticity? Expect the film to be written about by cultural studies/intercultural communication scholars.

Eleanor Young: [after a long pause] So you chose for him...
Rachel Chu: I'm not leaving because I'm scared, or because I think I'm not enough - because maybe for the first time in my life, I know I am.
[Choking back tears]
Rachel Chu: I just love Nick so much, I don't want him to lose his mom again. So I just wanted you to know: that one day - when he marries another lucky girl who is enough for you, and you're playing with your grandkids while the Tan Huas are blooming, and the birds are chirping - that it was because of me: a poor, raised by a single mother, low class, immigrant nobody.
