Crazy Rich Asians

Have you watch "Crazy Rich Asians" ? You have not? What's wrong with you? That's what we ask Jo (my colleague) the other day. Apparently she has not seen the most talked about movie. But why?

Well, she felt, what's the point of seeing some really rich Asians? If she wanted, she might as well stared at Jack Ma's picture ...lol....  Since comparing ourselves is part of being human. We'll end up doing just that & then feel miserable, & totally inadequate.

But it's just a movie, a comedy. We need to support Asian arts in Hollywood. Plus the author Kevin Kwan was our Ex-homeboy, a Singaporean! He has migrated she reminded us! But the movie is shot in Singapore, it gives us exposure to the world! Donald Trump & Kim Jong Un, was just here, so that's enough exposure. Hmmm...

She felt that this "Crazy Rich Asians "movie, is a one off thing. That explains why it took 25 years after Joy Luck Club for a movie like this to emerged. It's the trend now. First it was the Black Panther movie, comprising of an almost all black cast & now "Crazy Rich Asians " comprising of an all Asian cast. She has a point, but that's precisely why we need to support right?
