A Chinese-American Self-Orgasm Movie

As we all know, Zhu Haowei likes to make such strange movies...

The opening paragraph of Michelle Yeoh is very beautiful, but the plot at the beginning also reflects the emptiness of the film's connotation and the very clichéd values ​​it expresses.

The lady is really beautiful. Her mother looks like the monkey version of Wu Junru, how could she find such an ugly actor!

Teacher Lu Yan is so beautiful that I cry.

So why do all their family speak English? The inexplicable Chinese soundtrack... In addition to madly showing the life of the so-called Rich Asians, in fact, what the film wants to express most is the attraction of American characteristics to Asians. Didn't the male protagonist say to the female protagonist: "You and I grew up with me. The girls I've seen are different." You must know that the male protagonist's setting has grown up in Asia since he was a child. There is a line in the middle, the male protagonist said to his grandmother: "This is my girlfriend" and turned into "This is my good friend"... The poor Chinese of the male and female protagonists is also drunk. The roles of the male protagonist's gay cousin and the female protagonist's schoolmate are quite interesting. The only one of these actors who can speak Chinese well is Lu Yan. Wedding night incense, can you believe it?

The design of the scene is really good, the manor's manor, the house where the short-lived flowers are placed, the grand staircase of their house...especially the wedding scene, it is really a very modern Chinese-style decoration. There is a scene where grandma talks to Richel in the bamboo forest, which is too beautiful, like a dream.

The last scene is really gorgeous and beautiful, although I don't know what building it is (the roofs of the three buildings are connected together).

The problem with this movie is that these people are so perfect that one can't fault them at all. The plot is too weak to be called unreasonable at all, but it simply doesn't make sense.

But in other words, the repercussions of this film in the United States may be precisely because Americans' understanding of it is indeed different from ours. As another Hollywood all-Asian cast for more than 20 years, it is indeed also A historic step has been taken.

I also look forward to seeing more Stories of Asians internationally.

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.
