3 Reactions To Crazy Rich Asians — An Asian Mom Blogger’s Perspective
I finally got around to watching it…
So recently, my husband and I were able to get away and have a date night.
Oh just one of those things couples should do every now and then especially when they’re busy AF as parents).
The hype around Crazy Rich Asians got to me. As mentioned before, I’m not one of those people who fall prey to FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). But I had to support my Asian brothers and sisters to contribute to its success.
They (as in the media and the rest of the world) compare the bigness (is that even a word? I can’t think of another one at the moment) of this movie to Joy Luck Club which came out 25 years ago.
I saw that one when I was 7 or 8 and I fell asleep. I also didn’t understand why Chinese people spoke English in the movie since all the other movies I was watching at the time were Chinese movies. I’m planning to watch it again and maybe it’ll resonate with me more now.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed Crazy Rich Asians but mainly for its visually stunning scenes. I’ve always wanted to go to Singapore (foodie at heart) but this movie makes me want to book a ticket NOW!
