Hi! I have suggestion i hope you guys hear me can you react to new korean series called "BIG MOUTH" it's currently at ep 6 but promise every episode is so intense and well acted please checked it out 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏thank u 🥰
Hi three musketeers,
i also have suggestion..how about react to my country (MALAYSIA) horror movie " Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam" AND continue "Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam 2"...its posted on youtube
im so excited for the eeao one
I recommend pride and prejudice and zombies
37:42 She actually lost the game; the mom won. What Rachel showed was that she COULD HAVE won, but she gave the winning piece away so that the mom could take it and win. The mom thought she won on her own accord, but when Rachel revealed her hand, she realized she won through Rachel's sacrifice. Just a really great metaphor the movie included.
I think Rachel would had a better hand too, worth more the Elenore's, I think, I don't know HK or singpore rules, only Japanese riichi, she has all triplets and three of the triplets were concealed, it was hard for me to see it fully though.
there's a great article about this. after reading it, everytime i watched after was super amazing, the payoff never got old. the mom talked about 'you're not one of our kind' and the way she won was the method where you collect all of the same tile. also, the each side of the table is north west east and south, and rachel and eleanor are facing each other and rachel is sitting on the west, and eleanor is sitting on the east. also the choreography of the scene is flawless, the timing of when she places down the tile that allows eleanor to win.
Its also great that they recorded this kind of scene with a game that is "eastern" and like as a viewer "if you get it, you get it". I knew it signified something, but not what, when she held that specific tile and looked at it...
the selfless quality that Nick Mom saw in her for Nick was the thing she realized that Nick choose the right one
Idk how to explain it but after watching that scene I became really interested in mahjong again and started watching different variations of these two women playing. I used to play it on the computer when I was younger, but I don’t think it’s the same as actually experiencing it
As an Asian girl, I underestimated how much not seeing Asian women being the love interest affected me. This all asian cast without the story being about martial arts or "honor" really brought up how narrow of a lens we are seen as. Our culture is a part of us but it is not the main focus point, stories about us don't have to make that the story. How Mandarin was spoken without it being a "here we are authentic" market ploy was also great.
are you from Asia? are you American? if you care to share, I'm curious bc obviously western media is globally influential, so wondering if you were feeling the lack even if living in Asia. in america, i personally deeply knew of this lack.
pt 2: (i've heard of people from Asia talk about lack of Asian representation)
@@sc33h3o3 My story is a bit odd but I am from the one child policy of China and adopted by an Asian Latino father and afro latina mother. Growing up I consumed western and eastern media but I did fall into to mostly watching Korean and Chinese shows since they did have Asian women. However, the only complaint I had was that Asian media puts one kind of girl as a lead. The beauty standard emphasizes thinness.
I’m a black woman. Gen Xer and this is by far one of my FAVORITES! Truly fun and entertaining! Me and my girlfriend’s all ADORE this film! Seen it a zillion times❤
@@sc33h3o3 Yes..because us Asians don't really give a shit. But what the comment meant was...Watching this movie made me realise how narrow the western view on us is...because be for real....Most Asian based movies or either about kung-fu/martial arts....Or something about "honour" and traditions.
13:23 “there are a lot of children starving in America.”
The writers set it up like this to make a point that even first world countries like America have starving kids. Often times, western media mainly portray it to be Africa, but there are starving kids all over the world even in more privileged countries.
Loved your reactions!!
To me it was to show how their society looked down on America/Americans, like how many Americans view Africa as being a "less civilized" place. It was to set up the concept of Rachel not belonging in the Youngs company because she was American.
Obviously they r those that are so in their bubble that they dont know the homeless, orphan situation in america.
Oh yeah America has a real child hunger issue. But it's just not discussed. I didn't even know that our mother and infant death rate was so high until I took some training a couple of months ago.
@@firebrandsgirl I was confused by your statement until I looked it up. It's high among other first world countries, but not among the world. It's strange that it's so high tbh.
@@KartalaBreed not really weird, a lot of people in America live paycheck to paycheck
My favorite line ever in this movie, is from Queen Astrid "It's not my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you're not" 👏🏻👏🏻
Astrid's husband does not deserve her whatsoever she is way too sweet for that man
The fact that you three feel broke and "unloved" is so relatable after watching this kind of movie.
Here I was thinking us girls are the only ones sitting there after the credidts rolled, going - "wow you will never have this" :D
Love your reactions btw. Really entertaining.
Yes, we’re all broke & Nick* isn’t asking me out anytime soon! (*Keanu Reeves in my case) 😂
Everyone’s eyes instantly watering when Nick proposed on the plane 40:08😭 And I always cry when her mom walks in and she cries out for her. Sometimes we just need a hug from our mommy😭
I remember watching this film in cinemas when it came out I liked it it is one of the more enjoyable romance films of the past decade I appreciate that there is finally some representation of poc in a leading role in a romance film after decades of white leads in these roles again Hollywood should do more in general to showcase more diverse stories and representation in the future hopefully we see more love these movie reactions
Isn't it funny that Rom Coms are have a renaissance because they finally are telling POC and LGBTQ+ stories. The very people they were marginalizing?
have you watched dope local Chinese movies?
the book is better
FYI:
1. "You'll never be good enough" is a line that says it all about most Asian cultures. Marriage is considered as the union between two families so it's very important that who bring into the family has the same beliefs, principles, upbringing,etc. No matter how nice your in-laws are or how close you are to them, there will always be something different fomr the way you do things, so in Asian's perspective Eleanor is just giving her an advice.
2. THE RING is actually owned by the actress who played the mom, Michelle Yeoh. She was given a selection of rings to choose from but she said none represents "Eleanor's character"
3. At the end of the movie most viewers came to a conclusion that Astrid is "The Queen".
3 - 😩💯
41:15 That building is a hotel. It's the Marina Bay Sands. The design is inspired by deck of cards. The three towers are connected by a continuous lobby and a skypark which has gardens, restaurants, pool & observation deck 😊
its also expensive af
Just some context for the mah jong scene: The way to win is by making a whole set by either drawing randomly from the stack, or drawing from your opponent's discard pile. Nick's mom won when she drew the tile Rachel discarded. When Rachel reveals her hand, you'd realize that she would've won if she DIDN'T discard the last tile.
In this scene Rachel says "When he marries another lucky girl who is enough for you, [...] that it was because of me." The mom only won because Rachel gave up the tile.
Nick to Rachel “marry me”?
Bryce “YES!” 😂
I think everyone fell in love with Nick in this movie 😍
Great reaction! ♥️
the guy on the left's reaction is why I subscribed. definitely genuine, love how open he is about loving love. and I 100% hope and know he'll get his fairytale love like nick and rachel 😊 crazy rich asians is an all time fav romance love the reaction
love seeing other dudes get giddy over this movie the same way i did lol
seeing zuff so giddy over this movie is so funny lol
Yall reaction to nick proposing with his mom's ring tho 😭😭😭😭😭 lmaoooo
21:30 in East Asian culture family is bigger than individuality, so you hear a lot of times ppl calling each other by their full names (unless they’re close friends or family). For us (westerns) we have a last name cause our first names introduce ourselves. but in asian culture ppl’s “last names” are the beginning part of their full name. So in asia it would be “Chu Rachel” (in English) because family identity/legacy is more important. but in general last names (family names) hold more weight than your first name.
which is kind of relation to why nick’s mom was not for Rachel’s own “passion” aka her individuality > family
also, in Korean culture, family wouldn't ever say Eleanor, they would say "Nick's mom." reinforcing not her identity as an individual but her familial role
I love this movie. It was the first time I related so hard to a movie. You don't have to be crazy rich to understand the struggles behind an Asian upbringing. Some is culture related and some struggles we created for ourselves. Great movie to reflect on.
This made me so happy lol, you guys are all so endearing and sweet, you had me laughing and smiling throughout. Plus you make genuine, respectful and thoughtful points no matter what you're watching. I was sold on your channel pretty instantly after finding your Queen's Gambit reactions (which were awesome), and you continue to be a joy. So thanks for the smiles; keep it up :)
You all seem like such wholesome and conscious dudes. I've watched just about ever Crazy Rich Asians reaction out there but this one just hit different. Subscribed!
Seeing how much patreons have grown in the end just makes me feel :') for you guys. Definitely deserve all the supporters!
Ahhh thank you Denisse that honestly means so much ❤️❤️❤️
Such a pleasant surprise you all reacted to this!!! I looooved this movie immediately after the first watch and now it’s one of my comfort movies 🤣 beautiful, funny, emotional and very relatable when it comes to the clash of tradition families vs non traditional life
Absolutely love ya'lls videos. It is so nice seeing guys be real about enjoying a romantic flick.
Totally felt the comment about sitting alone at a table during a wedding.
" It is so nice seeing guys be real about enjoying a romantic flick."
It's nice to see at least one woman on earth, assuming authenticity, that won't MAKE FUN OF MEN FOR IT.
If women choose to sleep with emotional men, you'd have more men willing to share emotion.
You've trained us that emotions= no attention, no attention = no reproduction, so you're just breeding bad guys.
there is a lot of fascinating cultural context. unfortunately, traditionally, chinese women had very little control over their families save for one thing: their daughter-in-law. as a result, there was a lot of abuse from mothers to their daughters-in-law, and when those daughters-in-law grew up, they turned that abuse on the wives of their own sons. I believe i read about that in "The Chinese in America," which is an incredible read if you like history books.
yup i see it for myself, my next door neighbour is chinese...the daughter in laws of the oldest son would be almost like a slave in the family. She did everything in the house.
Yeah, it's like a messed up cycle of revenge. "My mother in law gave me a hard time so now that I can, I will do the same to you."
@@alexisx4368 like greek system hazing
I love how you guys get so invested in the romcoms, it’s so cute! You guys’ really love love!!
The "boat on the building" is called Marina Bay sands. It's an iconic building of Singapore along with the Singapore Flyer and raffles hotel. As someone who lived in Singapore, there really is lots to do and see. Honestly an amazing place with lots of heritage and culture.
Ok, Ok I’ll admit I’ve been one of those 81% not subscribed checking out your vids but I’ve now changed that. You guys pretty regularly react to movies I’ve seen so I can actually watch and enjoy your video (this is one of my favorite movies) and the three of you are so fun. I really appreciated the after watch discussion here too
Asian-American here (born in Asia, raised in the US, but went back regularly so way more in touch with culture/tradition than Rachel in the movie) - watched this when it came out with fellow Asian/AA friends who also understand/get the cultural references so watching ya'lls reaction was so interesting. Great pick!
Changi Airport in Singapore is insanely great, also the building at the end, i think it’s called Marina Bay Sands, there’s garden, hotel, and all of the amazing things in there, obv expensive but immaculate
The mother won actually because Rachel willingly gave her the upper hand it symbolizes how Rachel made a "sacrifice" for her despite the constant misconception that Rachel wouldn't be capable of putting her own desires aside for family throughout the movie
I'm so glad you guys liked this one! it's so fun and nice and just a good time. And that ring reveal! and ugh, that mahjong scene is everything and so layered!
keep the faith, fellas....your 'nick young' will appear in your life one day lol
1) This is one of my fave movies
2) I always love and appreciate how protective you three are of women (in every reaction) and definitely hope that you all find really great + meaninfgul relationships soon. :)
3) Michelle Yeoh (Nick's Mom) played the perfect villain. She's so big in movies but you should see Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
4) Astrid is a mood in this movie and quite possibly one of the most beautiful women ever.
5) Literally think everyone watching fell in love with Nick Young
Couldn't agree more with your entire comment.
Thing is we shouldn't see the mom as the villian as she is a victim of tradition by the Grandma too. Nobody is really the villian
Rich or poor, this happen all the time in every Asian.
My father's family don't like my mother back then until now. My father did is he build a house for us especially for my mother away from his family.
"I love the faithful men." Same! Best comment I think I've ever heard a man say in my lifetime.
This movie is based on the first book in a trilogy written by Kevin Kwan. Very entertaining books. The books go much more in depth, of course. Crazy Rich Asians was so successful, they were planning to make the two sequels; however, things were delayed and I have no idea what's happening. The second book is titled China Rich Girlfriend and the third is Rich People Problems.
15:02 this is THE question for awkwafina 😂😂😂
"I didn't know there was a city there" in the entire country of Singapore?? :'D
The sequel is gonna be CRAZY.. all the family secrets revealed
Bryce's reactions at Zuff's reactions 😂😂
omg the title 😭😭 “ broken & single” dont worry guys that special someone will find you soon enough!! 🥺
not so fun fact but in the book michael didn't actually cheat on astrid, he just made it seem like that so she would be the one to end it because he didn't want to do it himself
Wow. So even in the book, he’s still a coward. Maybe he just couldn’t bring himself to end things with Astrid.
wow i feel like that’s worse than in the movie lol
why are people on this post ruining the book for people like myself who haven't read it yet. another post gave a major reveal for the sequel. sigh
@@sc33h3o3 not really a major plot point, just confirming that he's an even bigger ahole in the book. and i started with "in the book" so you could've just not read the rest of the comment if you knew you wanted to read the books
@@sc33h3o3 To be fair, these books have been out for quite some time now.
Astrid is Gemma Chan, who stars in Eternals. She is, in my mind, one of the most beautiful women in the world.
what's inconceivable is she's in her mid-30's in this film, imagine how she probably was even more incredible in her teens/twenties
There is a book series for Crazy Rich Asians and since it did well at the BO there might be a sequel, I think her “real dad” is a billionaire which is ironic. The ring Rachel is wearing really belongs to the actress who plays the mom since they were short on props.
did you know that you just ruined the book* for everyone who didn't read it yet. delete or edit your comment, if you want to be mature about this. *and the movie which IS in the works...
Astrid is the queen! She dealt with the cheating coward so well!!! Go queen!!
She is absolutely brilliant
Haha the scene at the end is a real place! It's the Marina Bay Sands, that 3 towers connected by a ship above it is basically a hotel, a shopping mall, a casino, even a train station's in it! Definitely iconic in terms of architecture!
The ship/boat on top of marina bay sands is a rooftop pool. It's Absolutely amazing!! 💕💗
please let zuff do the intros more often. his thoughts and opinions have me giggling. you guys are so sweet
now i need A Walk to Remember 🥺❤️
There's gonna be a part 2
It's already been written but some of the actors got so famous that it's hard to get them all together because of other acting projects
Shang-chi
The Eternals ect.....
Awesome Reaction 👌
I fell in love with this movie again... Watching it with you guys 🥺
@41:19 , that is the Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's largest, if not largest, hotels in the city.
I love you Rob don't worry lmao. I love your reactions guys, hope you can watch romance movies more often!!
11:56 Zach/Zaph/Zuff (sorry I only spelled as how I hear it from different videos) is such a sweetheart. He looks extra handsome when he lights up with a big smile. ☺️
Oh yeah Gemma Chan is from "Humans", an underrated series about Artificial Intelligence becoming sentient before Westworld. And Araminta is from the Sci-Fi Hulu series "Devs" and Netflix sci-fi "Maniac" with Jonah Hill
No like I cried when that wedding scene happened. It was so pretty.
I like these guys! Fun, insightful, honest, positive reaction 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
omg this movie makes me think damn maybe true love DOES exist
This reaction was so fun, loved it 😄
somebody please get Zuff a girlfirend! he seems like the sweetest guy
I love how every once in while you guys pop up on my feed because you react to a fav movie of mine.
The only thing I didn’t like about this movie is that once they got there he should have prepared her more for what she was going to face so she wasn’t so blindsided, especially about the mom…”like my mom is really traditional and reserved” so maybe she wouldn’t go in for the big hug at first. I don’t know it just seems like there are some things he could have done to make it a little easier for her.
Y’all should’ve seen the post credit scene!!!
I love this movie! This was such a wholesome reaction I'm so glad I came across this channel
I'm also so glad she stopped by her friend's house before she went to that party because that's a real friend she hooked her up.
I fell out when you asked what accent was Aquafina using. 😅
A professional party planner reviewed the bachelor party and she said with enough money anything is possible
That "crazy" building is the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore! ❤️✨️
This reaction was so lovely and you guys seem such good and kind individuals. Keep up the amazing reactions!
OMG this is my first time watching one of your guys's video and i loved your reactions to this movie!!
Scott Pilgrim vs the World is another gem you guys should check out!
I remember first seeing this in theaters and remembered crying during the wedding scene and was just feeling every literal emotion during the movie and then the moment the airplane scene came on everyone in the theater Gasped when the reveal happened, it was such a twist and so beautiful at the same time. My goodness it made me cry more.
the part in the beginning where they were sending texts to everyone, shows how marites Asia is xD
the church is in a mall-ish type place (lots of fancy restaurants) and people get married there all the time. it used to be an orphanage and all girl's catholic school, and now the school board has 11 different schools in singapore (i went to one for a couple of years). also the building at the end is a building people go to all the time. if you know singaporeans, you can't escape the pics from the infinity pools with several bottles of soju
SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS . y’all r so fun
I love your reactions to this movie. The place in the last scene is at the rooftop of Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore.
zuff! why would u think you would never have a love like that?? im rooting for u lol dont worry it will definitely happen for you one day 😭🤣 you dont deserve anything less!
The towers "with the boat" are called the Marina Bay Sands. The video doesn't do them justice, irl they are absolutely monumental, breathtakingly big and glittering. I didn't get the opportunity to visit when I visited Singapore with my family back in 2017, but the whole city is absolutely immaculate. Though, the rigidity of their penal system and overall feeling of unease makes the UAE feel like a free country. Everything in Dubai may be is bigger but it's more human.
I was JUST searching for what to watch on here....and this new video popped up. i love you guysss
Love that you liked the movie. It is one of the movies that is on repeat every now and then. And yes, that building is a real one. It is named Marina Bay Sands Hotel located in Singapore (as some of the locations was shot in Malaysia also). The movie was considered an all asian (or at least asian descent) actors (except the one in US location for the support/extras).
As a Korean we Asians know how to party
Kris Aquino as Princess Intan. Philippines represent 🙌🏼
Singapore is amazing! I visited last summer and it’s so much better than going to a European country
I really liked the movie! We visited Warner Brothers studios recently on vacation, so of course I had to get my pic next to the famous wedding dress, and the little dress the main gal wore to her first party where she meets the grandma etc.
A Star is Born is an amazing movie to check out too!
I insisted on seeing this movie in theaters when it came out, and I'm so glad I did! I SOBBED during the wedding scene and didn't stop crying after that. The movie was such a great adaptation of the book because it added things, but did not take anything away from the story. In fact, I think I like the movie even better than the book. Also, at the end of the book, they don't get engaged, they just agree to continue to date. The second book was lots of fun and I'm excited to see the movie for it. They changed Astrid's story in the movie (for the better imo) so I wonder how they'll write it for the second movie.
Loved this movie and the reaction!! You guys are great!
I loved your reaction! So genuine and sincere.
The confusion over Aquafina's accent is taking me out lmaooo
The "boat" is a hotel called Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. That whole upper boat thing is a GIANT infinity pool bar. It's WILD.
Michael, Astrid's husband, could be seen as a dark mirror for Rachel and what she could become; he may have started off just like Rachel, and succumbed to the pressures of being in that family, especially for a man to not be the "breadwinner".
As far as Rachel's real father, she actually does meet him and his family in a later book!
Great reaction guys! Definitely deserve more subs.
i think this movie made everyone feel broke and single
I love LOVE Zach's authentic delight watching love stories. It really makes me laugh with joy. You three are all super special and I really look forward to the next thing we'll "watch together" hee hee.😁❤❤❤
That mahjong scene is THE BEST scene of a win.
I love your reaction to this movie...great post!
I was tearing up along with you guys :')
This is one of my favorite movies!!! I finally watched it not too long ago and then i watched 4 more times annoyed tf outta my mini!!! Hahaha
I really enjoyed this movie I thought it was really well done and that wedding is absolutely gorgeous I've never seen anything like that before it was beautiful.
There is a second (China Rich Girlfriend) and third (Rich People Problems) installment to this story but it is not made into a movie like the first one. The plot gets crazy just like this one. 😂
I’ve watched this movie so many times, its probably like top 5 for me for some reason 😭
i've seen it an embarrassing number of times lol. the payoff in the mahjongg scene followed by the ring reveal is just tooooo gratifying lol
