This is not a movie about Chinese people, but a movie about Chinese stories, do you know the difference? I don't know why it is so wishful thinking to denigrate the values ​​that this movie exports and its presentation. You said that the plot of feeling uncomfortable is not obscenity, but the image of a large number of Chinese people in the eyes of Westerners every day. They are Chinese, Chinese American, and Chinese from other countries. The film is called "Super Rich Asia" "People", may I ask, does the Chinese represent the whole of Asia? In other words, it is rare that this film can tell such a vulgar story so briskly, the rhythm is very good, and the handling of some scenes is also very good!

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.
