Gemma Chan is just stunning. That voice is everything.
BriFill
ehhhh, what's up with her cheek bones? they look like filled in...sorry
After sometimes, her cheek bones remind me of jigsaw.
can't agree with u any more. She is the unique one Among all the actors and I was really fascinated by her voice and clear pronunciation.
Chia-Li Sung that’s what real cheekbones look like dude maybe it’s bc that’s so rare nowadays that u think they look weird
Just Gemma :) th-cam.com/video/rVd2Mc3QscE/w-d-xo.html
5:22 "There's nobody doing martial arts, there's nobody fleeing villages. We just get to be awesome people." Boom.. Mic drop!
PERIOODTT
@@periodt_5290 True, except they are crazy rich.
Gemma is really so suitable for the part of Astrid. She is stunningly beautiful like Astrid in the book.
mhm! and she has that effortless air of class and just seems very kind, like astrid
I've watched asian films and dramas in my lifetime, but felt surprised by how emotional it was to see this film.
Gemma Chan is absolutely gorgeous. What an attractive woman with class and elegance. I'd marry her if I could.
Rain-Man Ritz but you cant because you’re trash.
+Fred Eye How am I trash? What did I do?
to think that she's an Oxford graduate as well as a lawyer. simply magnificent woman
Fred Eye - Damn you're a salty fool. Get that negativity out here man
damn you need to get laid
Being white, I went to see this film today. Hoping I could learn more about the Asian culture. This film was more than that, it was an important lesson for all that are in the business or those aspiring to be in the business. It's not the location, it's not the ethnicity. What will and has made this film successful so far is the universal need for acceptance, no matter the race. This film wraps up this universal theme in an Asian land, but the story can be told anywhere, with anyone. And that's the point. Good stories are universal, they speak to us all - Crazy Rich Asians does that and more.
Go see this film.
Kristopher K ❤️❤️ Can’t wait to watch it this week. It’s screening in Malaysia from 22nd August. Proud of my fellow Malaysian actors Michelle and Henry. Also to the rest of the casts....
Great words. It's true that a good story will speak to everyone.
+Thomas Chung What the fuck is wrong with you?
why do you have to start with "Being white". what does it matter. you trying too hard. forget the race thing. Your last line is what really matters. "Good stories are universal, they speak to us all - Crazy Rich Asians does that and more."
zacktam big facts it was good that he was like there’s more than the movie but I feel like the Asian ethnicity was very important to there not a lot of movies that focus on Asians this movie also shows how theres diversity in film industry so u shouldn’t just say that u just sound like some racist white kid that’s jealous over the success of the movie smh
Just saw this movie. And wow was is great. Not just a great movie with talented directing, acting and humor, but also the representation of asians on the big screen hit home for me.
I cried and I never cry in non-animated movies. Representation felt like that missing something I didn't know was taken from me. I'm 18 and am so glad to be alive to have seen this happen.
Okay but I just randomly started crying when Gemma said “Look on screen, how many of those faces look like us?”
This movie was hilarious and romantic. I could watch it over and over again.
Gemma's approach to diversity is breathtaking, she is aware of this film bringing Asian diversity, but she also brings up diversity amongst different minorities. She is such a gem!!
I'm in tears after watching this. I grew up in Malaysia and I miss my home so much. This is the first time I've seen Malaysians starring in a movie like this and I'm so proud
The words of these people are so true and relevant to Asian American lives. We face prejudice and racial hardships on an everyday basis. But with the release of this movie, Asians, and minorities in general, can finally receive the same treatment as other people. The movie is honestly inspiring and I praise the work of these people.
OMG. you guys seriously got me all emotional.
IM FROM IPOH MALAYSIA TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO PROUD HAHAHAHA
The way the world is going, this movie could be the peak of Asian representation in Hollywood
I love Astrid! Really like someone i wanna be when i grow up! AND HER ACCENT OMG I'M IN LOVE
Constance Wu is the BEST! Everyone i know was expecting to see another “Jessica Huang” like character from her, but we all loved her as Rachael instead...what a wonderful character actress!
My question for a long time, why Asians are not given a chance to a big stage? I mean Internationally? Hope this will be the beginning same as in music industry. Too many talented Asians both actors and singers.
cause all our parents want us to be adoctor or lawyer lol
@@봄본-v1i like korean dramas very famous worldwidee for quite sometimes now. I just hate to watch. You need to watch while reading english sub at the same time crying non stop, too tragic and I hate it 😱 Asians people are very dramatic and emotional, theyre crazy about drama and love story. I guess this will be the beginning of Asian movies. There will be a butthurt like this movie where they complain and asking where is the brown? means Indian cast.
@@shawnduong3838 oh yeah every Asian parents focus on that.
we tend to go for careers with huge annual salaries. Asians are rarely on the spot light. Some are considered extremely lucky. Im asian btw
Why no indonesian????
I have over 50 cousins and siblings, only 5 of us don't have a doctorate or working towards one.
I cant wait anymore!!!!!! Its 20 more hours to go.... argh! I be in the movie house to watch these Asians first hour tomorrow morning!
This movie really resonated with me. I was born in Canada but my parents came from China. I have never been more eager to go see a movie and feel that this makes being Asian kind of neat. At least until the next “ pro diversity” movie event comes around!
THIS MADE ME CRY. THANK YOU! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD TO BE ASIAN, BUT NOW IM EVEN MORE PROUD!
Hella ya, this makes me PROUDER to be an Asian American. Movie was great. 👊🏼
I first saw this movie from my hospital bed and was happy to see a Hollywood Movie with a total Asian cast about life in Asia. The family structure in Asia is much stronger than in America and I can say this because I am Japanese American who is married to a Japanese citizen. The family first ideal is important to all families and does not depend upon social status or material status. I think that most Americans do not understand this until they return to their homeland.
I saw the movie tonight. Loved it! I’m Caucasian (shouldn’t matter) and what I saw tonight was a fun, romantic, funny movie with wonderful characters. There was music in Chinese - didn’t care (in fact enjoyed it ). The were occasional subtitles - didn't care. The movie was an all Asian cast - didn’t care. What I did care about was that the movie I was watching had a great story, something that touched the heart, great film making, characters I could indentffy with cause who can’t identify with love, family, and being an outsider at some point in their lives? I’m very happy that the movie is doing well ‘cause maybe that’s a sign others don’t care either.
Ax Martel can you explain what part of what I wrote implied self hate? It’s interesting to me that some would interpret it that way because I’m not aware of any self hate. Since I like learning new things and pride myself in trying to understand other perspectives I’d be interested if you could share what it was led you to conclude this. Also, the name is French and very common. It’s the male spelling. Female is Denise.
Denis B I also really enjoyed it
@Ax Martel I think when Denis said he doesn't care, it wasn't that he devalued Asians. But that he didn't let the Asian cast treat the movie any different
Denis B are you from Caucasus region? Are you Azeri, Georgian or Armenian? If not then you are not Caucasian
Exactly I'm Chinese and I saw the movie not for the Asian cast but because I saw the trailer and it was quite Interesting to see the beauty of Singapore and of course the story. I also saw monster in law with jane fonda( but her character was too fake )and jumping the groom with Paula patton. Those are the white and black version of this movie. The three of them are special in their own way and many people don't care about the ethnicity of the cast..my crush is terrence Howard and he's Chinese/Italian and not so fit either ah ah
I'm so proud of this movie as it really reflects how much Asians all over the world wants this to happen! My tears keep flowing when at the end Eleanor played by Michelle Yeoh was the one that made this movie what it is, his embodiment of the "Asian values" that only we know is part of our culture..the remaining cast are all amazing!! I will have to watch it again and again for sure
I only knew about Michelle Yeoh,Awkafina and Constance Wu .... Michelle is a big star .... This is movie is so awesome .... Breaking stereotypes about Asian Americans
A huge plus that the film itself is magnificent. I watched it twice and enjoyed it thoroughly. Props to the cast and crew.
THIS IS OUR TIME #ASIANSNEVERDIE
I loved this movie. My boys loved the movie and they are 8 and 12! It was beautifully written. The actors messages were poignant, we do need more movies like this in American culture. Embracing all cultures to show the world for what it is, diverse.
The movie was intriguing, funny, cinematically beautiful, the wedding scene was the most amazing wedding scene I’ve ever seen. The message of acceptance despite cultural boundaries. I hope it wins awards. It was just hands down a wonderful movie.
Awkwafina is my favorite character in the movie
I love Gemma!!
as a 22 year old white female, I must say that I feel bad for being one of those people who never noticed the lack of asian actors/actresses in movies/series. so this makes me feel even worse to hear all of these talented people say how it efected them emotionaly to make this movie as there was such a lack of them in their younger days. I as a person wish there would be more movies/series of any kind with asian actors/actresses for people of every age, but especially the young ones who can find someone in a movie/series they can relate to. so from the bottom of my heart, I hope that this movies opens doors for more movies of such kind or any kind really with an all asian cast. truly you don't understand the privilege you have until you hear someone else speak of their experience. (please pardon my english if there is any mistakes, english is not my native language.)
Being a Filipino American, born in the Philippines, grew up in Tokyo for my first ten years and back to the Philippines until I finished medical school, identity was never a problem to me. I saw Japanese actors on TV on NHK, Filipino actors in movies and TV, having the Filipino channel in my house in Indiana seeing Filipino films day in and day out, and American films on weekend being Asian american is a non issue being a first generation American. My identity as citizen of the world was ingrained in my DNA from birth because I have a half Filipino half Chinese father who was a lawyer and a diplomat, a mother who was a pharmacist from a prominent political family in the Philippines, having international classmates from the get go(kindergarten), I was acutely aware that people were diverse and proud of who they were and where they came from. Interned in New York and trained in the deep south, I did occasionally encountered racism but I will just raise my eyebrow and pity them and think how unfortunate they are for creating a small world for themselves instead of embracing the diversity of our world, different cultures, races, traditions and belief systems. At the end of the day we are all human who love and get hurt, who reaches for the stars with our own dreams and aspirations and yet remain accepting of who we are.
I saw the movie. I love the fact that Kris Aquino was Princess Intan. Very classy, very intelligent actress in the Philippines. Born Kristina Bernadette Cojuanco Aquino, she is the youngest daughter of the late Philippine President Corazon Aquino and the slain Philippine senator Benigno Aquino and sister to former President Benigno S. Aquino III.I hope she gets more roles from Hollywood as the current administration has exerted efforts on the Philippine entertainment industry to close doors on her for political reasons.
God Bless the Asian Union (A.U.)
KUMUSTA
Robin the correct term is "KAMUSTA" and the correct reply is "MABUTI, SALAMAT" which means I'm well, thanks.
I too come from a multicultural background, grew up in 3 cultures, & speak multiple languages. We may not struggle with cultural identity, & can glide smoothly across different worlds, but there are many Asian Americans (or Asian Australians, BBC or CBC) who never felt seen or represented. This movie means a lot to them & I'm happy they finally got what their souls craved.
Selamat po for the background information on Kris Aquino, even though it was just a cameo.
They did not close the doors on her though, she left abs after her brother’s term because of the plane scandal. She has every right to come back to showbiz. She even had a new movie. Lol
Just amazing! Crazy Rich Asians was fantastic and the theater was packed on opening day when I saw it.
I saw the movie today and I couldn't help it when I saw Gemma. A true definition of class
I cannot wait to see more inclusive films like crazy rich asians. I hope the rest of the industry is realizing the kind of power and money inclusive films can bring in.
Debating if I should go see CRA again tmr. It’s still in theaters in Macau, China. Major girl crush on Gemma Chan! Whew! Take my breath away! 🇬🇧 I wish I were British or even American, sadly I’m just canadian :’(
Beautiful! I love this movie so much!
Just watched this movie......Great movie. Great acting. I am a movie buff and appreciate good acting. If the movie holds my interest, then it matters not to me what their ethnicity is. This was a damn good movie....So there!!
Definitely grew up on Hmong Dubbed Chinese films 😍 Kdrama and Thai Lakorn so I never grew up feeling left out, but I’m glad Hollywood and the rest of the world is seeing more and more asians ❤️❤️❤️
Just brilliant, sharing this far and wide!!
Me: Almost on the brink of tears...
The movie was entertaining, it reminded me of how it was growing up in a large family. Calling everyone aunties and uncles. Sitting on the family table with all eyes on you and being asked what do you want to do with your life.
If I'm not mistaken, Gemma plays Astrid Leong Teo, not Young Teo
omg Quintessa is in CRA
Gemma Chan would be all you need for a ASMR video... omg there's a perfect amount of classy and beauty
AYEEE BAY AREA
I watched it today and it was so good!! Highly recommend it😄..I feel so proud of my asian background.
P.s- Now i have to read the book cause i can't get over it😂
Well i wish there are more asian... Like indians, malay or any other.
wonderful video
Im originally from Melbourne as well. Chris Pang is my idol
very touching!
Don't complain, "be the change that you want in this world." This movie, the actors, and creators embody this
This film is amazing
Ever since Michelle Yeoh became a Star Trek Captain, i asked my other trekkie geek friends to see this movie. They didnt care that it was romantic comedy, as hardcore trekkies, we support actors their other works. She is Captain Georgieou to us.
Wow, this is the best interview for CRA. Has most of the characters from the movie
Went and saw this film with my wife and mom yesterday. It was great! Better than I expected.
God Michelle yeoh is so beautiful and graceful
d best romantic movie's !
Cannot wait for the sequel. I hope the same cast again.
Yes, Chris Pang from Melbourne !!!!! Yay....from a Melbournian.
michael yeoh, has a movie produced about a Asian chef
@LosAngelesTimes Gemma Chan's Character's Name is Astrid LEONG - TEO. lol
stunning!
GEMMA CHAN TRANCE BROUGHT ME HERE!!!!
Gemma ❤️
At last, a good film about Asians without kung-fu kicks, car chases.
this cast
Woahh .. alot of Malaysians
New Zealand Asians represent! I'm loving this movie!
Gemma is really smart
Amazing movie I totally loved I want a sequel the wedding of Nick Yeoung and Rachael Chu Pleaseeeeeee❤️
Relatable....
Crazy Rich Asians is a good start but there has to be continuation. If the next big Asian Hollywood film is going to be in 2035 then that would be a problem. Smaller Asian films are out like Awkwafina's The Farewell and Ali Wong's Always Be
My Maybe so Asians are decently represented with smaller films. Most likely the next big blockbuster Asian film might very well be Crazy Rich Asians 2.
Great movie! I love this! Representation matters!
It doesn't.
So serious and then Ronnie gave this gem. 5:15
RIGHT?!?! 😃
YEAH bro i frickin cried so much ah
The best movie🌹👍
I wonder why they didn’t cast Lucy Liu for this movie. She will be a great addition to this movie.
feel crazy strong energy.
Can I just say how different Sonoya Mizuno is from the movie? Wow
I m from Hong Kong, China.
With a Chinese accent
Nico Santos and Awkafina are hilarious in the movie!!!!
All Asian cast of characters in a movie that hasn’t been done before....cough in Asia cough, cough.
💯💯💯💯
I CRIED!!!!!
OMG gemma chan and henry goulding should be in the next james bond.
Awesome movie!
Notice how all of them were so successful as lawyers or doctors before they were even actors. A testament to our asian culture. I’m proud to be asian American.
Haha. Gotta be a doctor or lawyer engineer as a back up first. I was watching this choreographer, popper, who was amazing. Haha he was a mechanical engineer major in college.
Too bad the fellas can't say the same. can't even say close to the same.
Gemma is such a class act. She is amazing!
Sébastien Lafontaine shut the fuck up
Omg Gemma Chan is a queen
right?!?!? she is fucking royalty!!
Mega Mijit you sound jealous!!! Gemma Chan is a Queen to this girl She is beautiful, she exudes a soft classy sophisticated yet intelligent young woman, very attractive qualities.
i sound jealous?!? i AM jealous!! shes fucking gorgeous, intelligent, and everything im not LOL
@ianmann64 *IS A GOOD MOVIE?*
She is exquisite!
Yes! The film features asian characters, but asians from all across the globe. I was amazed watching the actors in the film. Amazing diversity.
Clarke.and.Coffee Fantastic measure of success. People from all these DIFFERENT countries, cultures, ethnicities, races ceding their actual diversity for the Asian label. Remind me of all the Europeans immigrating to the US now they are all just called "white".
It is odd that such a term is now used so often to apply to so many people. And seeing the "what's your ethnicity" question on tests tickles weird sometimes. As for Asians ceding to the label, what's wrong with that? No recognition or some recognition for a film where multiple attempts were made to change the lead character to a non-asian face to "appeal to an American audience". Small stepping stones in Hollywood. This is a video attempting to reach a wider audience than exclusive groups. They could have listed every nationality in the title, but it'd be huge. And one does not have to be Chinese as the character's role to understand the film's themes of identity and family really. I went to see the film and it's a fun romcom with additional themes threaded throughout. Not perfect, but fun.
@@OhayoMacchiato Think of it in terms of the negative stigma of "white pride". A diverse accumulation of European descendants took on this label and now they are shamed for even mentioning wanting to be proud of it. It's a Hollywood movie and Hollywood movies regardless of who is in it find their way into international theaters anyway, setting box office records of international viewership. If we wanted to support diversity, we would promote foreign-sponsored and produced films, not the patching together of "people who we can't tell apart" ascending in the Anglophone hegemony.
you mean overseas chinese?
😂. South Asians/Southeast Asians etc????
How can someone be as pretty and classy as Gemma Chan!
everybody did law or pre-med or economics to please their asian parents before pursuing their own dream. i understand that pressure so well. i started doing genetics as a major until i changed it after 2 years to pursue film.
I am an Asian European and I think that so many Asians has waited for this moment. No matter if the film will flop or be a success I just hope this will cause a flood of Asian representation in movies/series/tv shows in the future to come!
@Ax Martel bullshit, i was born here. Lived here all my life and think and talk and paid taxes sometime even more than the ones who has european "dna"
Chu-Kwong Ip What nation.
@@polishherowitoldpilecki5521 Nederland.
Chu-Kwong Ip Your as European as any other Dutch citizen. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍👍👍
@Ax Martel he said he's Asian European not only European like Chinese American!!!! I disagree with you..you will never be Chinese but if you are born in China you will think as Chinese more than European because you will spend your life there..your friends and colleagues will be Chinese and you will probably marry to a Chinese like most of my cousins and I did.. so since you are not an immigrant kid don't talk about something that you don't know!
Gemma's acting and beauty is out of this world. So classy!!
Gemma chan is exactly how I imagined astrid would sound and looks like in my head while reading the book. I haven't watch the movie yet so I should go and hurry watch
Wow I keep hearing people cry at the end of this movie. Must be a good story.
