Review of Crazy Rich Asians (2018) by Rickythe13Th — 16 Aug 2018
There is so much beauty and information in this romantic comedy and family drama. The costumes and scenery were stunning.I received an education on the culture of Singapore,that made each shot more meaningful.
Representation is important. The fact that there aren't more films like this is astounding. There were things about it that were clearly tourism marketing for Singapore. What was happily missing was any sense that they were commodifying contemporary East Asian culture.
The romance of it all, is so needed right now. The love stories (bf/gf or mother/son) overshadow the glamour and movie magic. This movie is loaded with movie stars that deliver. I look forward to watching this movie in 10,15, 20 years.
