and muddy tail

The story of this movie is not complicated. When I watched it, I was a little curious, how will this movie end?

The contradiction in the film is the conflict between the origin of the male protagonist and the origin (values) of the female protagonist. As the only child of a wealthy family, the male protagonist must inherit a huge family business (in fact, it has nothing to do with his personal will), and the female protagonist is a believer in free America. , which leaves one and only three possible endings:

1. The male protagonist compromises (the male protagonist's mother must also accept it), the male protagonist goes to the United States to live a middle-class life with the female protagonist, so that the male protagonist's huge family business is uninherited, this Zhang Wuji-style ending of not loving the country and the beauty Undoubtedly the most insulting IQ, every adult knows it's impossible.

2. The heroine compromised and came to Singapore as a wealthy wife, becoming the second Michelle Yeoh. This ending doesn't look very good, but it's actually very reasonable, and it can also reflect the helplessness of the adult world. Many people live as they hate.

3. The male and female lead break up. This is also a reasonable ending. Only a marriage of the right household is a happy one. This sentence modern people do not like to hear, but it is an objective fact. The male and female protagonists are not from the same world. Their background determines the future. It is not bad to be the other half who finds harmony.

Whether it's ending 2 or 3, I can accept it, but the director happened to come to ending 4. Michelle Yeoh accepted the heroine, then the hero proposed, then danced and sang and then happily ended. I was really confused. The core contradiction is whether Michelle Yeoh accepts the heroine? accepted and then what? Isn't it still faced with two options 1 and 2? Everyone is happy there P?

Does this director think that the family will have a good time with a little mud? Extremely superficial and disgusting.

Crazy Rich Asians quotes

  • Rachel Chu: Thanks for meeting me here.

    [Eleanor eyes the other two women at the mahjong table]

    Rachel Chu: Don't worry about them. They're half-deaf and they only speak Hokkien.

    [Long pause as Eleanor reluctantly settles into her seat]

    Rachel Chu: My mom taught me how to play. She told me mahjong would teach me important life skills: Negotiation. Strategy. Cooperation.

    Eleanor Young: You asked me here, I assume it's not for a mahjong lesson.

    [Shows her tiles]

    Eleanor Young: Pong.

    [Snidely remarks]

    Eleanor Young: My mother taught me too.

    Rachel Chu: I know Nick told you the truth about my mom, but you didn't like me the second I got here. Why is that?

    Eleanor Young: There is a Hokkien phrase 'kaki lang'. It means: our own kind of people, and you're not our own kind.

    Rachel Chu: Because I'm not rich? Because I didn't go to a British boarding school, or wasn't born into a wealthy family?

    Eleanor Young: You're a foreigner. American - and all Americans think about is their own happiness.

    Rachel Chu: Don't you want Nick to be happy?

    Eleanor Young: It's an illusion. We understand how to build things that last. Something you know nothing about.

    Rachel Chu: You don't know me.

    Eleanor Young: I know you're not what Nick needs.

    Rachel Chu: [pauses] Well he proposed to me yesterday.

    [pauses]

    Rachel Chu: He said he'd walk away from his family and from you for good.

    [pauses]

    Rachel Chu: Don't worry, I turned him down.

    Eleanor Young: [sighs] Only a fool folds a winning hand.

    Rachel Chu: Mm no. There's no winning. You made sure of that. 'Cause if Nick chose me, he would lose his family. And if he chose his family, he might spend the rest of his life resenting you.

    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.

    [Shows her tiles. Gets up. Walks to her mom, who turns and glares at Eleanor]

  • Astrid Young Teo: It was never my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you're not.
