I'm familiar with the rules of mah jongg. The version they are playing is like gin rummy, but with those tiles. You have to have a certain combo of runs (sequential numbers), 3 or 4 of a kind, etc. So in that scene where Rachel and Eleanor are playing each other, Rachel had a winning hand, but due to her game theory background she knew the last tile that she picked up would give her the win and that it was also the tile Eleanor needed to win as well. Rachel gave up the tile when she placed it down and Eleanor took it. When Rachel showed her hand, she was showing Eleanor, I had the chance to win everything, but I'm giving you the win of this tile as well as having your son back. In Rachel's monologue she is letting Eleanor know that it came at the cost of her acknowledging that the "win" was given to her by a poor girl, both in game and reality.
Nick's job is actually associate history professor, if I remember correctly. The reason Rachel never figures out he has money is because he chooses to live in a one bedroom apartment. He even ests most of his meals in the cafeteria. And never buys truly expensive things. Looking back after she funds out, she realised that all though there are no labels on his clothes, everything is very well tailored. In the end, the only Nick's mom comes around is because of who Rachel is😂
Loved this reaction! When Peik Ling used the word banana to describe Rachel, banana is often a term used to describe Chinese Americans. Yellow on the outside, but white on the inside.
Yep. Grew up in a semi rural middle class suburb outside of LA, so I had friends from various groups. And yep, this is what they were called by their family who lived in the ethnic parts of The City. And they would get called Oreo, Banana, Coconut, Apple, etc. The White kids were either called worse or nothing and ignored. It is Wild. Three of my Asian friends told me about the hierarchy within the Asian community, like how Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are at the top and it goes down from there. And two of them were Chinese with relatives in Hong Kong and how without saying anything or dressing different, they were Immediately pegged as American/Western. My Korean friend said it's true for his family, too. When I told some of my other friends this, they said it happens to them when they go to visit in their family's country, too. I'm like, Dang
God I love this movie. And I love how they represented asian culture and traditions. And the chemistry between the leading couple is so believable and wholesome . And ofcourse the icon Michelle yeoh slays in this role 🙌
Hi Cory! I’m from Singapore and available just fyi. Anyways, I have a friend who actually is extremely wealthy I feel like a peasant next to her even though my family is financially okay by Singapore standards. She lives in a gated community where the 1 percenters live that has mansions, condos, restaurants, boutiques and every amenity imaginable. She lives in a condo and drives a golf cart to her parent’s mansion for dinner every evening. They have a yacht in their backyard. We once watched crazy rich asians in her parents home theatre and she turned to me and said, “I wish I lived like that.” and I was like, bitch you better be joking. Her family is extremely humble and nice too
@@JT-cm9dipretty much! Being “rich” in Singapore would mean you’d be able to afford a landed property (not enough land= expensive) or a condominium with luxury amenities, both which cost millions. Alternatively, some are able to afford historical buildings (look up Singapore colonials and shophouses), much like nyc pre war buildings(?) which is what my family lives in. However there are the CRAZY rich which is what my friend is. Look up “Sentosa Cove” and you’ll probably be able to see the kind of properties and the cost to live in that gated community.
@@JT-cm9dipretty much. Being rich in Singapore would look like owning landed property (land scarcity= expensive) or a luxury condo, taking prime location into consideration both which would cost millions of dollars. Alternatively, some chose to live in historical buildings (look up Singapore colonials and shophouses) which is what I live in. That would be the equivalent of prewar buildings in nyc(?). The CRAZY rich live in this gated community called Sentosa Cove and you can look up the properties and the cost to live there.
Rachel LOSES the mahjong game so Eleanor could win. From what I understand Rachel and Eleanor needed the same winning tile, and Rachel had it. Rachel knew this and instead of keeping it for herself, she gave it away, knowing Eleanor would take it. It's such a badass move and its to show Eleanor that she was wrong about her, and that she is willing to give up her passion (Nick) so that he could be happy and not have to turn his back on his family.
please watch Everything Everywhere All At Once, it’s such a good movie with nick’s mom (Michelle Yeoh) as the main character, such a crazy good movie with action and comedy and some deep tear jerking stuff especially if you teared up at this one
That "boat hotel" is Marina Bay Sands. It's very popular and has an infinity pool on top, which is probably its biggest selling point. We stayed there once for our trip and during that visit, we mostly stayed at the hotel and enjoyed ourselves lmao. I don't remember it being that expensive back then, but it probably became much more expensive now, especially after this movie.
Yeh, MBS is amazing, I love their pool, I visited in 2017, and it was pricey, but now in 2024, it's stupid expensive, I was thinking of visiting again.
I saw this movie a few days ago and it only shows how we need fun rom-coms. A very well cast movie. P.S. Cory gets everyone’s approval, I’m sure Edit: Cory said “I’ll take either.” LMAOOOOO
My mom watched this once and begged me to watch it too, at first I was skeptical because it appeared to be just a typical cheesy romance. I was glad I watched it though! I loved so many characters
this movie shows you how subtle the asian household games are they are not just outright rude like the lawyer girl who was talking to rachel or evn the mom they just gaslight you and make you feel awful in a very very polite way
Interesting easter egg: Rachel's mom mentions how blue is meant for mourning, and later in the movie you can see Astrid wearing blue when they bury the fish in the sand to indicate her mourning for both the fish and the death of her relationship with Michael
Notice how ingenious the costume design is. During the scene when Rachel was shopping, her mother told her that strips are for funerals. Fast forward to the bachelorette scent and Astrid was wearing stripes while they bury the dead fish, and metaphorically burying her marriage as well.
1: astrid is an angel and i would both die and kill for her. "it's not my job to make you feel like a man. I cant make you something you're not" WOOO 2: the wedding scene where she starts walking down the aisle in the water and kina grannis is singing is the first time i've ever heard a movie theater gasp in awe from sheer beauty, and i saw all 3 lotr in theaters 3: idr the particulars but the majhong hand wasnt just a better hand, she's showing that she had the better hand AND she gave eleanor the piece she needed to "win" (the M shaped one)
one of the best movies😍, the scenery down to the plot goes to show and intake of different varieties of family and aspects and most can relate to it had important messages and one can deal and rachel had nothing to prove or show she genuinely loved nick and genuine love and acceptance is all Rachel wanted. Please watch hangover the series Ken Jeong who nick says he loved in the beginning he's in it, pure comedy and light.
I am very particular with romcoms, mostly because I spent most of my teenage years and 20s reading romance novels and know what makes a good romantic story. This film is my favorite in the genre since When Harry Met Sally.
@@kathyastrom1315 yes! I think growing up with when harry met sally, sleepless in Seattle, pretty in pink I am also very particular with rom coms. Even the new Sydney Sweeney movie anyone but you, people said was the best rom com and I just simply didn’t agree. Nothing against the movie but it wasn’t classic rom com worthy. This one however is amazing!!!
This movie is definitely cute but I feel like there are plenty of recent rom coms that are just as cute. It's not that hard to make a rom com that is heartwarming enough
14:45 - "So that's how they perceive Nick's family. Nick and, clearly, Colin and [...] - they're all just, like, down-to-earth." Oh, yeah, Nick's family is TOTALLY down to earth. 🤣
haha as a fellow singaporean myself, its true that some people are filthy rich. but a majority of us do live comfortably in the middle class and it is a struggle sometimes to keep up with the inflating costs in singapore. of course, theres more to us than just being rich in money. We are rich in race, culture and identity which makes our country greatly different from others. I bet none of you knew that just a few decades ago, Singapore was poor in every aspect with no resources and weak after the Japanese occupation. But we rose from that and achieved prosperity and religious harmony. I encourage you to visit Singapore when you get the chance, the diversity and culture here is beyond your imagination.
Singapore is a case study in capitalism run amok, overlain with a fascist state controlling every tiny thing to keep their perfect image outside the country.
The movie was intentionally made on a lower budget than it could have been precisely because the screenwriter Kevin Kwan, who also wrote the book it's based on, wanted to show Hollywood that Asian-American studios could be commercially viable. The budget was so low that Michelle Yeoh (Eleanor) loaned the emerald ring from her own collection. In what is probably a coincidence, Crazy Rich Asians and Black Panther both came out in 2018. While they are very different films, both put marginalized communities in the spotlight in major release Hollywood films.
Lol the Mother didn’t approve cuz of her speech at the end . The Grandma found out that Rachel Dad is apparently a tycoon in china or something and she is his only heir and Rachel dad is like 5 times richer than Nick family.
Nick is amazing when it comes to Asian, specially South-Asian standards! Indian here - and you will be surprised how tethered to their mothers Indian men can be - to an extent that they control the whole marriage lol! It is like the umbilical cord never gets cut off😅
Michelle Yeoh is in her early 60s but when she was doing StarTrek Discovery over some years ago, she was doing her combat stunts and can still kick ass.
People who are really rich aren't typically jackasses because their lives don't revolve around how much money they have (they have so much of it). While nouveau riche people, like celebs (you know, millionaires), wear their money on their sleeves and try really hard to make their wealth noticable, because in some way their wealth is fleeting. In asian cultures, nouveau riche will care about how much money your family has. The really rich people care about what your ancestors did for the country, bloodlines, purity (yes, it sounds crazy), etc...
Constance Wu, i never really realized it before but she is the girl in crazy rich asia?! I watched her in Fresh Off The Boat, as Jessica the strict mother lol
Michael’s and Astrid’s relationship was wayyyyyy more fucked in the books. He was faking the affair to get an emotional response outta her cause he’s always had an inferiority complex. (Not helped at all by Astrid’s brothers) Her ex-fiancé comes back invests in the husband’s company, it goes to his head. And then when the divorce he puts a camera in their kids stuff and tries to use the footage to get full custody.
He did under prepare her. Like ofc i know that he might not want to say youre 1% rich to a partner you havent married yet but still... he essentially fed her to the wolves.
I understand your reactions on the side-family's comments about Rachel's appearance and their preference about who their son should marry, as an Asian that's just daily conversation haha. Yes it may seem harsh and it does not always hit us the right way but it is the usual way an asian household/gatherings are. The bluntess comes with being asian hahaha. Well as far as i know from culture and personal experience.
The guys are underestimating how judgmental and condescending Asian women (from Asia) can be...especially mothers xD Rachel did NOT make a lukewarm impression. It was terrible haha. Asians can say nice things while judging you harshly. Think Southern niceness but dialled up to a ten and extremely subtle.
The mom totally knew that she was just like her. I think that was half the reason she was so harsh. She was testing if she had what it takes to live in this rash cruel judgemental society bc she was in the exact situation and it was really hard for her. So I think she was testing both of them and their love for each other. If they could survive her, they can survive all the haters, basically
8:19 The thing is, rich people from asia (old money rich) they dont usually flaunt their money. Its not that they're lying, its just that, in a sense its how they were brought up, and its not that alien to them (the perks/lifestyle). Now, the new money rich ppl is a topic for another day lol!😂
8:17 I mean yeah, you are right, but they were dating over a year and not telling your girlfriend or boyfriend anything about your family is insane (at least to me)
Y'all, Singapore is The place to have a hangout or move to when you feel the Western countries are taking too much of your money through taxes. It's why Johnny Depp left France (other than his divorce). He said France always had their hands in his pockets and he bailed. Plus, he's an Anglophile. But it's the top reason wealthy people leave America now. And one of the places they flee to is Singapore. I can't remember his name (Sergei? something), but the guy who was involved in the creation of Facebook and sued Zuckerberg for his share of the billions made from it, got his money, packed his wallet, and moved to Singapore. Don't know if he's still there, but if I recall, he gave an interview and said he researched places to go, tried Singapore, and loved it because it was The best place to be wealthy, live a great lifestyle, and have your money left alone for the most part. It's ostensibly the new Hong Kong, which was a huge destination for wealthy people for the same reason, but Hong Kong had this East-West appeal due to all the time it was a part of the British Empire. But when it went back to China at the turn of the last century, the majority of the wealthy Hong Kong people packed their businesses, money, and well educated families and ran as fast as they could go. They naturally went to North America and Europe, but a good number of them went to Singapore, which is filled with Chinese people who speak English and other European languages. I think someone told me Taiwan is also a place they fled to, just not in the same numbers. From what I'm told, China has Shanghai as their wealth zone and hoped to keep Hong Kong, but no one was buying their promises and bailed. Not sure if the people who stayed regret it or not, but I kinda fell out of that topic after a while and moved on to others. But, it's extremely fascinating. There's a guy who's a TH-camr who's family came to America from Vietnam and struggled Here. He did well in school and set out to get rich in NY. The lifestyle was crazy and he eventually got burned out from the rat race and fast competitive living from having so much money. So, he took off to Singapore for a vacation, realized he was happy there, came back to quit his job, pack up, and say goodbye to his family, and moved there. He made a whole video about it and it's excellent. Eventually, his parents moved there with him and he's not planning on coming back anytime soon because he says it's calmer and psychologically better there. I found his video while on a kick watching videos of different people who left America and moved to other countries. I ended up watching mostly videos about them moving to Asia because they tend to be Far happier than other places. It's incredibly insightful and fun. You guys should Definitely check out those videos. I'll post the one with the Vietnamese guy if I find it again. Btw, great video as always

American term is "Mama's BOy" , normally taken as quite the insult, given the idiotic toxic masculinity here.

Michelle Yeoh is in her early 60s but when she was doing StarTrek Discovery over some years ago, she was doing her combat stunts and can still kick ass.
This movie made me realize how boring my life is but also how nice it would be to be rich 😂
The way I screamed! AAAAAAH this moment is mine 😂
This is my confort movie. I even walked down the aisle to the same song 😅
This is the best airplane movie to ever exist!
Book 2 is legit really good ☺️
People who are really rich aren't typically jackasses because their lives don't revolve around how much money they have (they have so much of it).

In asian cultures, nouveau riche will care about how much money your family has. The really rich people care about what your ancestors did for the country, bloodlines, purity (yes, it sounds crazy), etc...
That is not how it ends in the book. It's a trilogy by the way. I hope they make the 2nd book into a movie soon.
One of the best movies ever and definitely the best airplane movie
The actor that played the cheating husband, Pierre Png, said that his character didn’t cheat if u read the novel.
Constance Wu, i never really realized it before but she is the girl in crazy rich asia?! I watched her in Fresh Off The Boat, as Jessica the strict mother lol
I couldnt have clicked faster!

8:19 The thing is, rich people from asia (old money rich) they dont usually flaunt their money. Its not that they're lying, its just that, in a sense its how they were brought up, and its not that alien to them (the perks/lifestyle). Now, the new money rich ppl is a topic for another day lol!😂
You guys should do pride and prejudice!!!
Best part is that ring is actually Michelle Yeoh's real ring lol
i wish they'd make the other books into movies too😭
I think they might, because it kinda left us at a cliffhanger in the movie.
@@CarWashReviews-Ethan idk, it’s been so many years since this movie. They’ll need a new cast😂
i think there being no dad was symbolic to absent rich billionare dads and how this makes the mother even more burdened with responsibilities
I haven't been in a mall or an airport in America as nice as the ones I've been in in Asia (or maybe Im just in the wrong part of America lmao)
8:17 I mean yeah, you are right, but they were dating over a year and not telling your girlfriend or boyfriend anything about your family is insane (at least to me)
Finally 🤩
PLEASEEEE react to Nobody Wants This
Cory, I dont think you should be announcing that you're ready to marry into wealth. You're about to have the internet lining up.
The Conjuring
Y'all, Singapore is The place to have a hangout or move to when you feel the Western countries are taking too much of your money through taxes.
It's why Johnny Depp left France (other than his divorce).
He said France always had their hands in his pockets and he bailed. Plus, he's an Anglophile. But it's the top reason wealthy people leave America now. And one of the places they flee to is Singapore.
I can't remember his name (Sergei? something), but the guy who was involved in the creation of Facebook and sued Zuckerberg for his share of the billions made from it, got his money, packed his wallet, and moved to Singapore.
Don't know if he's still there, but if I recall, he gave an interview and said he researched places to go, tried Singapore, and loved it because it was The best place to be wealthy, live a great lifestyle, and have your money left alone for the most part.
It's ostensibly the new Hong Kong, which was a huge destination for wealthy people for the same reason, but Hong Kong had this East-West appeal due to all the time it was a part of the British Empire.
But when it went back to China at the turn of the last century, the majority of the wealthy Hong Kong people packed their businesses, money, and well educated families and ran as fast as they could go.
They naturally went to North America and Europe, but a good number of them went to Singapore, which is filled with Chinese people who speak English and other European languages.
I think someone told me Taiwan is also a place they fled to, just not in the same numbers.
From what I'm told, China has Shanghai as their wealth zone and hoped to keep Hong Kong, but no one was buying their promises and bailed.
Not sure if the people who stayed regret it or not, but I kinda fell out of that topic after a while and moved on to others. But, it's extremely fascinating.
There's a guy who's a TH-camr who's family came to America from Vietnam and struggled Here. He did well in school and set out to get rich in NY.
The lifestyle was crazy and he eventually got burned out from the rat race and fast competitive living from having so much money. So, he took off to Singapore for a vacation, realized he was happy there, came back to quit his job, pack up, and say goodbye to his family, and moved there.
He made a whole video about it and it's excellent. Eventually, his parents moved there with him and he's not planning on coming back anytime soon because he says it's calmer and psychologically better there.
I found his video while on a kick watching videos of different people who left America and moved to other countries. I ended up watching mostly videos about them moving to Asia because they tend to be Far happier than other places.
It's incredibly insightful and fun. You guys should Definitely check out those videos. I'll post the one with the Vietnamese guy if I find it again.
Btw, great video as always
Cory just gave A Hot girl/boy Billionaire Singaporean hope
