love is fulfillment

"Complete" The highlight of Crazy Rich Asians should be the arrangement of the scene when the heroine's boyfriend's mother played mahjong with her. Whether it is the lines or the eyes of the actors, it should be the soul of the whole movie. I was melted there. I was moved and the dialogue was especially wonderful when the female lead asked the other party, "I knew from the moment I saw you why you didn't like me." The male lead's mother returned "Because you are not our own" - "Because I am not rich enough? No Went to an aristocratic school? Or didn't come from a wealthy family background?" - "It's not because you're a foreigner, you're an American, all Americans care about being happy" - "Don't you want your son to be happy? ——“That’s a very illusory thing. We know how to create eternal things. This kind of thing you don’t understand” ——“You don’t know me” ——“I only know that you are not his spouse” At this moment, the heroine She found a 7-of-a-kind card, but she put it in her hand and looked at the other party and said that the male protagonist proposed to her - "Yesterday Nike proposed to me, and he said he would leave the house and leave you forever, but don't worry, I have already Rejected him" The male protagonist's mother exhaled a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed—— "Only a fool would put a good card and don't want it." If you choose me, you will give up the whole family, but if you choose his family, he may hate you for the rest of his life." After saying this, it was as if she had put down her heavy heart and solemnly played the good card in her hand because she knew in her heart She had already made a choice, and the male protagonist's mother easily touched the card with her hand when others were about to draw the card, indicating that she wanted it, and then she still gracefully and calmly picked up the 7 of a kind and put it into her own deck and stepped back. The whole deck of cards appeared, Hu Pai looked up at the heroine—— "So you helped him make a choice?" The heroine has tears in her eyes at this moment - "I didn't leave because I was afraid or because I didn't think I was qualified, maybe it was me For the first time in my life I know my heart I really like Nike but I don't want him to lose his mother again so I just want you to know that one day he will marry a lucky girl you feel qualified When you play with your grandchildren and listen to the chirping of birds while watching the short-lived flowers bloomThat's all because I'm letting go of a poor girl raised by a single mother, an immigrant of insignificant class..." After the girl said this, she showed all her cards in relief and got up from the table. The scene was in a courtyard house. In the mahjong hall, I walked out of the poker table and came to the center of the patio. A woman stood next to her. She was the mother of the heroine. The girl wore a plain white cheongsam and took a step forward. The male protagonist's mother's reconciliation girl with two mothers hidden in her smile when she looked back and pulled up her mother's back when they left was soft and great, I really burst into tears when I saw it

Love takes many forms

The world is not only about love

But sincere and kind people

Always protect and leave a softness in my heart

Repair tough armor with this softness

Only this softness can often break those thick armors

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.
