Uploaded By: FREEMAN November 12, 2018 at 12:02 PM. Director. Tech specs. Movie Reviews. A rallying cry for class warfare. Crazy Rich Asians is just wealth porn built around a middling rom-com. All I see is the suffering of the working classes and the corrupt decadence of the wealthy. The opening scene is downright absurd. As a Brit of Oriental descent, Britain's never been that racist as depicted, and certainly never in 1995. At worst, I could imagine the working class porters making a sneering racist remark under his breath, or when he thought he was out of earshot. The idea that a professor of economics isn't respected and admired is nonsense. Asians love elite education - Singapore was built by a Cambridge maths genius and their government still pays for lots of Singaporeans to study there. Professors certainly aren't broke and no strangers to mixing with high-net-worth individuals e.g. university donors. Not introducing yourself as an economics professor at NYU to a Princess that published a paper you want to discuss is bonkers. In fact, you're probably already met at a conference. No-one gets into Cambridge to study law just to quit because they got married. No-one. Focussing on only one ethnic group in Singapore is utterly unrealistic. Singapore is a nation of immigrants. Why would the mother have a problem with being immigrant such that Rachel would bring it up? 'Asian' only means Oriental in the USA. which is a problem for the non-US world. The real problem with the film is that it's really a film about Asian Americans, not Asians. Somewhat Taliban-ish. I'm all about women's beauty and power. Women's bodies are beautiful, natural and should be shown off because that is nature. Here we see none of that whatsoever. Even a scene on a ship the women's body are hidden. And none of them are fat either. Very anti nature and weird. Formulaic twaddle. Gosh, I wish someone would come up with a new formula for a so-called rom com. Pity the fools who had to watch this in the cinema because they are doing oriental girls. This turkey tries hard with some name cred. No spoilers here - follows the formula exactly and badly. Badly if you're the unfortunate viewer. There are faster ways to see oriental thin chicks (my local spa is full of them). Here's Where To Stream ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ If You Want To Watch It On Repeat. The best part of the romantic comedy revival is when it gets cold and dark outside, there are plenty of joyful romcoms to keep you warm on the inside. Netflix has plenty, from The Kissing Booth to To All The Boys I've Loved Before , but most can agree The Romcom Of 2018 was Crazy Rich Asians . By the time it was done in theaters, the film has grossed $174 million and scored two Golden Globe nominations. So, how does one watch the movie at home? Here's where to stream Crazy Rich Asians this winter, so you can enjoy the laughs over and over. In case you missed it, Crazy Rich Asians was nominated for both Best Comedy and Best Actress In a Musical or Comedy for lead Constance Wu, who plays Rachel Chu. Wu's nomination was history-making, as it's been over 44 years since an Asian woman has been nominated in this category. The last was Yvonne Elliman, who was nominated for her role in Jesus Christ, Superstar back in 1974. In all, only four women of Asian descent have ever been nominated in this category over the awards' 76-year history, the others being Miyoshi Umeki for 1961's Flower Drum Song and Machiko Kyo for 1956's The Teahouse of the August Moon . So, where to stream this history-making film that put romantic comedies back on the map? Crazy Rich Asians has been out on Digital HD since the beginning of November, which means it's available both for rent and purchase via all digital retailers. Those include the usual suspects of iTunes and Google Play, as well as Vudu, YouTube Rentals, and Amazon, plus newer places like Fandango Now and Microsoft Movies & TV. Also, the Disney-backed Movies Anywhere has it in their stores, which allows you to stream it to any number of digital devices, not just on the one you happen to be on when downloading. Sadly, Crazy Rich Asians is not on Netflix, and it's not clear if it will ever be, as the film is owned by Warner Brothers. Why does this matter? WarnerMedia announced back in October it was preparing to launch a streaming service, not unlike Disney+, starting in late 2019. To that end, again, not unlike Disney, it too will start to pull content from Netflix in preparation for launch, such as Friends , which is one of Warner Brothers' more valuable assets. It will be leaving Netflix at the end of next year. So, chances are Crazy Rich Asians will be held until the service launches in 2019. But this doesn't mean fans should wait to watch. Even though the film isn't streaming for free, the rental prices are low, and renting (or buying) the film via places like iTunes means one can access all of the bonus features, plus deleted scenes and the commentaries, which in this case are by director Jon M. Chu with Crazy Rich Asians novelist Kevin Kwan. Crazy Rich Asians (2018) Movie Review, Cast and Plot. Crazy Rich Asians is a 2018 American romantic comedy-drama.

Crazy Rich Asians cast Harry Shum Jr., and although he's sixth-billed in the credits, the actor barely appears in the movie - here's why. Mild SPOILERS for Crazy Rich Asians ahead. Jon M. Chu's Crazy Rich Asians movie cast Glee alum Harry Shum Jr. as Charlie Wu, and although he's sixth billed in the credits, the actor barely appears in the movie - here's why. Based on Kevin Kwan's novel of the same name, Crazy Rich Asians follows NYU professor Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding) to meet his family and attend his best friend's wedding. While in Singapore, Rachel also visits her college friend Peik Lin (Awkwafina) and meets much of Nick's extended family. However, while Nick's cousin Astrid (Gemma Chan) and second cousin Oliver (Nico Santos) take a liking to Rachel, Nick's mother Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh) is not impressed. The movie, which adapts much of Kwan's novel to the letter, also follows Astrid through her own relationship with her husband Michael Teo (Pierre Png). Working as a B-plot to Rachel and Nick's A-plot, Astrid learns Michael is cheating on her and eventually leaves him. The arc mirrors Rachel and Nick's own relationship since Michael's feelings of inadequacy compared to Astrid's family are part of the reason the marriage ends - at the same time Rachel is struggling to come to terms with not feeling like she can live up to Eleanor's standards. However, Crazy Rich Asians actually reduces much of Astrid and Michael's storyline from the book, and one major casualty of that is Charlie Wu, played by Harry Shum Jr. In Kwan's book, Charlie Wu and Astrid were engaged to be married when they were younger, but Astrid left him because her family didn't approve. She then went on to marry Michael, a former soldier and entrepreneur, but he never makes as much money as Astrid's family and feels insecure because of it. In the novel, Astrid reconnects with Charlie at Colin Khoo and Araminta Lee's wedding, and Charlie helps Astrid investigate her husband's infidelity by tracking down Michael's mistress. In Kwan's later novels - China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems - Charlie and Astrid get back together and build a new life. However, in Chu's film adaptation, fans don't get to any of Charlie and Astrid's relationship beyond a brief meeting in a mid-credits scene for Crazy Rich Asians . So, why was Shum Jr. cut from Crazy Rich Asians ? In an interview with EW , Chu explained that Charlie originally had a slightly larger role in the movie, appearing in a scene at Colin and Araminta's wedding where he danced with Astrid. In fact, that scene, which was eventually cut, appeared in the early trailers for Crazy Rich Asians , indicating it was filmed but removed from the film during the editing process. Chu explained the decision to cut Shum Jr's Charlie out of the main film: What we put in the movie was great — they actually dance together — and it was so awesome, and Harry’s so charming and so lovable. But the problem was, it made Astrid feel like she was leaving Michael for Charlie, and we didn’t have enough room to expand on the idea. We just had to stay focused. Ultimately it’s about her independence, so that scene was in there all the way until the very end. When we took it out, Astrid’s journey became stronger. It was about her, not about her finding love. Still, Shum Jr. does appear in the mid-credits scene for Crazy Rich Asians , where he and Astrid reconnect at the engagement party that serves as the final scene of the film proper. Chu said he hopes it serves as a tease for what may be explored in another film about these characters - that is, if he's given the chance. A follow-up will likely depend on how well the film does at the box office, though reviews for Crazy Rich Asians have been largely positive so far. If there is a sequel to Crazy Rich Asians , it seems likely Charlie and Astrid's relationship would be more of a focus, with her moving on from Michael and reconnecting with her former fiancé. Certainly with two books left of story to cover, Chu has more than enough material to work with for a potential sequel. But whether Crazy Rich Asians gets a follow-up, and how much would be dedicated to Shum Jr's Charlie and Chan's Astrid, remains to be seen. Did You Know “Crazy Rich Asians” Was Inspired By a Real Singaporean Family? Here’s Who They Are. Follow us on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest stories and updates daily. “Crazy Rich Asians” finally made its debut on the silver screen last week, and reviews are already pouring in. Critics seem to love it, even landing a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes upon its release! (Although it dropped to 93% after a week. Still a really good rating, though! ) If you’ve seen the trailer for the movie based on Kevin Kwan’s book of the same name, you’ll know that they weren’t joking about the “crazy rich” aspect of the film. Seriously, the outfits and locations look so extravagant, wei! Although it’s hard to believe anyone could be that rich, did you know that the story is actually loosely based on a real family? They got any single grandsons, ah? Asking for a friend. Well, according to Vulture, Crazy Rich Asians is inspired by Kevin Kwan’s own family. Like one of the protagonists, Nick Young (portrayed by Henry Golding in the movie), Kwan is also the product of three “crazy rich” families from Singapore – the Kwans, the Ohs, and the Hus. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Kwan revealed that he was born in Singapore but moved to the United States at the age of 12 to escape the scrutiny of Singaporean society. Here are just some of the most interesting things about Kwan’s family; 1. Kwan’s family tree dates back to the year 946. Source: kevin kwan via town & country. As Kwan notes in his piece for Town & Country, that he is the descendant of an old establishment family from Singapore with roots that date back to year 946. We can’t even brain how long ago that was! Three digits, wei! “Three families intermarried: mine, the Kwans; my grandmother’s, the Ohs; and my grandfather’s, the Hus, which made for a sprawling clan that helps inspire the stories in my novels and what you see onscreen in ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ .” 2. His great-grandfather founded OCBC Bank. Believe it or not, Kevin Kwan’s great-grandfather was actually the founding director of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC Bank), Singapore’s oldest bank. Founded 86 years ago in 1932, OCBC was the product of three banks – Chinese Commercial Bank, Ho Hong Bank, and Oversea-Chinese Bank – merging together. It soon expanded over the next few decades, becoming one of Southeast Asia’s biggest banks. 3. Everyone in Kwan’s family is English-educated. Source: kevin kwan via town & country. During his grandparents’ time in the 1920s, Kwan said that everyone in his family, like most elite Chinese families, were English-educated and often emulated the British. “As a child, I didn’t even realize I was Chinese. I was Singaporean, but my identity was wrapped up in the culture I was experiencing every day. For example, I didn’t know a word of Mandarin, and my parents didn’t either. I grew up with a posh English accent, and all my aunts sounded as if they came out of a Merchant Ivory movie. It’s a world that has all but disappeared.” 4. His great aunt and uncle lived in an estate that belonged to the Sultan of Johor. Source: kevin kwan via town & country. Kwan’s great aunt Margaret Kwan, and her husband, his great uncle Dr Hu Tsai Kuen, lived in one of Singapore’s grandest homes. The estate had previously belonged to the Sultan of Johor. He writes, “There’s this idea that Asian people lived in these houses with lots of antiques and brocade, but when this house was built, in the 1920s, its furnishings reflected the height of fashion.” 5. Kwan’s great uncle helped invent Tiger Balm. Source: kevin kwan via town & country. If you think having your family be behind one big brand is insane, try two! Tiger balm is a staple ointment in every Asian household, but did you know that one of its inventors was also part of Kevin Kwan’s family? Some might know the story of its founders, brothers Aw Boon Haw (“Gentle Tiger”) and Aw Boon Par (“Gentle Leopard”), formulated an analgesic balm from their father’s recipes and in 1924, produced Tiger Balm (which was named after Boon Haw). However, others might not know that Kwan’s great uncle, Tsai Kuen, was also part of the process, and helped invent the formula for Tiger Balm, too! So, that’s just a mere glimpse into the luxurious life of Kevin Kwan’s family. It really is hard to imagine how different life must be for them! Read Kevin Kwan’s full story about his family here!
