I didn't notice it before but you can see the tinge of disappointment in Michelle Yeoh's face when he says his grandmother taught him that. She later reveals that she had to leave Nick with grandma because she never approved of her. She wanted to teach her son these things but had to sacrifice that happiness to get the elder to be satisfied with her. Yet we also see that no matter how much Michelle Yeoh sacrifices it is never enough.
It's so ironic that she positioned Nick to inherit everything but Ah Ma never made him the sole heir, she didn't want people fighting over the family legacy.
The way even Eleanor gives a slight chuckle at the botox joke. These small details humanizes her, elevating her from the draconic matriarch/in-law trope, and makes us believe in the motherly-filial relationship between Nick and his mom.
What I like about this movie is: It is simply good. It is not a "let's make a movie with a majorily asian cast" movie, it is simply a very good movie that happens to have mainly asian actors.
Which is how any movie that is based around a different ethnicity to the country it’s being made by. Hollywood and western style cinema needs to learn that. Love this movie.
I think it would have been okay if one of the siblings had married a non-Asian, but then the movie might lose focus if that character became the 'voice of reason'. It would have been funny, though, if they (the white significant other) acted more Asian than the Asians, if that makes sense lol
That's the thing. It needs to be deliberate. Otherwise, they would just change the entire cast to white. If the title of this movie/book WASN'T CRAZY RICH ASIANS, I guarantee you they would have changed it to an entirely white cast. Well.. maybe they would have kept Gemma because then she would be the sexy exotic Asian romantic interest eye candy for the white protagonist.
I just adore this quiet little scene. Every line and every glance rings so true as an Asian American who spends time with relatives who grew up in the homeland. Another reason why to me, CRA is a genuine joy to watch.
As an Asian American, Rachel acts as I would when at a table with relatives who grew up in the homeland. Such realistic dialogue. And thank God for Nico Santos' comic relief, whose character as a funny cousin with high EQ is also very realistic.
Oh, it was tough at first when i was a little boy. Got the hang of it as time went by. It depends of family. I'm Singaporean Cantonese. So, hār gáo: sīew mái; séau zeng; fún chéong are all normal to our household. Minced shrimp & pork were the main filling. Kneading the dough, the flour must be the correct proportion against water. It was a family event. We could make over 300 dumplings in an hour. We'll chit-chat while doing all that.
I resisted watching this for a long time, but it was on TV the other day, and I couldn't stop watching lol. I can't believe I enjoyed it. It wasn't as superficial as the trailers made it seem.
This movie is eaons beyond most romantic comedies I've seen because it's infused with the importance of culture and tradition. Although Eleanor was not supposed to be too likable, I actually did understand her point of view, although she was wrong about Rachel, which she eventually realized. In this scene, you can see how this family, who is so rich, is gathered together, making their own food. Many, to not say most, American families of this stature and wealth would not be making their own food. They'd be too busy making money or engaging in some kind of individualistic, and maybe even self-centered and selfish activity. This was Eleanor's point. This was her fear in welcoming Rachel, and if Rachel hadn't been who she was, it might have been justified. Excellent movie and characters with substance. That's why this movie is so much more than it seems at first. It also moves beyond potential stereotypes about Asians by showcasing their rich culture. Beautiful.
I loved this movie , i get the female in this show most ,i understand Eleanorand how she aint actually a villainess but someone who has been there she simply knew what it will take from rachel .she wanted to preserve the family, working dad ,stay home mom , happy kids ,connected family rachel life in US ( not connect to family much ) ,she is a career women ( she wont stay at home ) and no mater how much she will want to rachel wont spend much time wih her kids if she keeps her job (lets be real ) . So she was realistic
She literally told Rachel she barely raised Nick at all because she had to give him to her mother in law to raise since she disapproved of Eleanor. So it's not like she spent lots of time with her kids or had a happy family life.
@@augustalavenderblue7353 as she said ,she wasn't the fav the amma was gonna make her life as miserable as she made Rachel, so would nicks life if he stayed with his mom no matter how he turns up the amma will never think of him as good enough so unless she was the one responsible for his uprising. Even if the gramma didn't ask for nick to be brought apon her hands it's quite usual act among some families to fav the first grand child (as nick), we traditionally spend time at our grandparents but some more than other those grew up to be the fav not cs the grandparents ask for them to be there but the result of growing accustom too along their already bestow upon statue of the first
@@thespacesbetweenstudio3346 Why are you bringing black people into it? Isnt there other races you can choose for your stupid a$$ conversations on diversity.

Keep black people out of your mouth! Thanks
You say that like you've single-handedly lived in every chinese singaporean household and made a record of how no one has ever made jiaozi at home. Which, BY THE WAY, isn't true because it's a common and traditional appetizer people make at home, especially with their family.

I'm Chinese Singaporean and we do make dumplings at home. Just because your family doesn't , doesn't mean all Chinese Singaporean families don't. What is rubbish about this scene though is the crazy rich people probably don't need to make their own meals...
It is actually quite sad to see this kind of phenomenon whereby the mistreated daughter in law became the mother in law herself and vent her previous frustrations,which is like some sort of a vicious cycle
Cool movie but with technical errors. If they are crazy rich, why travel first class. Private jet at the first travel scene to Singapore would have made more sense
1) Pretty sure their family owns the airline 2) He was trying his best to hide his wealth and flying private quite literally does the opposite 3) She wouldnt have accepted a private flight

Her character's name is Eleanor, by the way!
Oh, I knew lol.
That is sad.

@@Sthuthukile I must have missed that scene. Who ah ma put to inheritance?

Hollywood and western style cinema needs to learn that. Love this movie.
It’s a movie taking heavily from East Asian culture and family dynamics.
It is an East Asian Movie, adapted to Hollywood by dubbing it in English.

Gemma Chan is so gorgeous, man.
We all know the hottest person in this clip is Michelle Yeoh
I find the actress who played Rachel really pretty
@@saumyapathak5865yeah she’s wife material.
really? what about Astrid?
Imma have to say Gemma Chan.
Blinded by nostalgia

Dumpling making is a social event. It's much like tortellini-making, with family gathered around a table making little edible bundles
My favorite movie!

This was a fun bonding scene :D

Very enjoyable movie 🎬 This cast is just stunningly beautiful, and the location is gorgeous. I hope to go to Singapore someday

Cause rachel
Rich people are frugal, that's why they are rich.
1) Pretty sure their family owns the airline
2) He was trying his best to hide his wealth and flying private quite literally does the opposite
3) She wouldnt have accepted a private flight
Private jet for a 19 hour flight would only court disaster.
