"How did she know it was Nick Young? She was staring at the back of his head!" ....clearly you don't understand quite how obsessed some fangirls can be.
He did not take 100 sins away for the best line in the movie and it was from Astrid. "It's not my job to make you feel like a man." BOOM, the real hook, line, and sinker.
Okay but the Asian information network is real and also scary. All it takes is "Hey you know Josh Lim? Violin UCLA Josh Lim? He's dating math olympiad Ashley Kim." And by the end of the day every Asian family in the area knows about it
That's not an information network..that's sharing specific information on someone obviously revealing the identity. I do however love the stereotypes you used.
Bryan Gosling a fictional character in a fictional story....the way they portrayed nick young in the book/movie would be analogous to how brad Pitt is in real life. So of course you wouldn’t know nick young despite being Singaporean because he isn’t real...
That church auntie bible study gossip circle was PRECISELY the way I've seen church bible studies go: random disconnected bits of verse, torn from context, and used to justify whatever the speaker wants to say.
Exactly what I was thinking. This guy actually sinned a movie because the writers put actual thought into making a metaphor/Easter Egg. He shamed a movie for having effort and creativity in its writing. Let that sink in.
@@ursaminor9780 he shamed movies for having long intros. It’s not like he’s actually critiquing the movie, he obviously just wants to make jokes, so why would he actually research that deep into Asian culture?
@@badabing9402 But what exactly is funny about that comment? Even if you’re unaware of the cultural accuracy behind it, it’s still a good metaphor, a clever comment when they could’ve just been reading any passage of the Bible in the background while the main conversation happened in the foreground. All his comment seemed to say was “I didn’t get the joke, and I made the ding sound. Laugh please.”
@@NeverGonnaVivYouUp Even without the cultural context, their chosen passages still work as a good metaphor. One which apparently went over the head of whoever wrote that line. You don’t need a social studies paper to get it, just a rudimentary understanding of the English language.

As a non-rich woman, I find Cinemasins’ take refreshing. The fact that she owns 14 apartment buildings means that the poor paid for her 1.2 million dollar earrings just so that they could have a roof over their heads. As for their relationship, a key difference between Astrid and Nick is Astrid’s passivity. Michael gets treated shabbily by the family (this is portrayed more explicitly in the book) and instead of standing up for him, Astrid merely hides her expensive clothes from him. We see it a little with Rachel and the fish too - Astrid helps Rachel, but she doesn’t stand up to the other women. The writers could have given her character development there, like they did with Nick, who initially buries his head in the sand but later stands up for Rachel. But they didn’t, and in light of that, Astrid’s moment of “triumph” falls as flat for me as it appears to do for CinemaSins. Especially now I know that in the book, Michael fakes cheating so that he can break up with Astrid while allowing her to save face.
He gives sin points for asians knowing nick from the back of his head. He clearly doesn't know the power of social medias with asians. Asian + Social media= Almighty
I actually think the subplot was an important part of the movie. They worked as foils to our protagonists to show that marrying rich doesn't always work. *shrugs*
The movie cut out all the nuance, though. In the book, the family treats Michael like unpaid tech support and there’s a scene where Michael calls out the fact that the Khoos are spending millions on one party while half the world is starving. And he fakes cheating so that the family will put all the blame on him for the breakup and not judge Astrid. He’s still not a perfect character by any means, but the movie made him into an out and out antagonist when he wasn’t meant to be.
Sure but the example in the beginning is so ridiculous. Like yea there are racist people. But the manager of a fancy hotel turning away obviously rich people with a reservation in the rain because they're Asian is a little unrealistic. Like I don't know how intolerant Britain was in the 90s to Asians but that's some cartoon level racism
Robert Frances Donovan Agree. The world is full of awful racists, and Jeremy was definitely a bit unfair to this movie, but that level of extreme discrimination at a fancy hotel just wouldn’t happen in Britain in the ‘90s.
@@robdon3472 y'all wake tf up it happens until now too. Ofc you wouldn't know🤦🏻♀️ don't take that as unrealistic yet not experiencing that kind of treatment
@@robdon3472 LOL I agree. Racism is real, a fact & will be an ongoing phenomenon till the end of time. Only, nobody knows it unless someone openly speaks rudely about it. These days, racism & discrimination are hidden but it will ALWAYS be there. Speaking of evolution.
It would never happen to anybody with enough money to reserve the Lancaster room. While Asians do experience discrimination, it's unlikely to have touched those with the wealth & status to buy respect.
Ok, I wouldn’t bring it up, except he sinned the movie so much for it that I’ve gotta call it out: That subplot with Astrid and Michael was one of the best elements of the movie, and CS here either deliberately misinterpreted it, or was a colossal dunce during any scene about it. The struggle of the subplot was not about Astrid being rich and learning to be happy. It was about Michael’s insecurities and how he unfairly blamed her for them. Astrid clearly loves Michael, as suggested by her buying him gifts and wanting to help him thrive. But Michael is focused on himself and his own discomforts, namely that he feels less of a man for bot being the breadwinner. Something he likely would never have considered about Astrid if HE were the breadwinner. Maybe people are shaming him for it (which we never actually see evidence of, btw). But rather than being vulnerable and seeking emotional affirmation from Astrid, or realizing anyone shaming him for having a hot rich wife who sincerely loves him for who he is can go fuck themselves, he gets bitter. He either talks about her family looking at him with scorn, rejects her help and gifts, or accepts them in a strained manner. All these acts make Astrid feel like a failure as a wife, since she can’t make him happy or do anything to fix his problems. He makes his insecurities Astrid’s fault. So much so that she actively hides her wealth because he’s made her think she’s flaunting it, rather than she’s just getting what she likes. Which again, I doubt he’d do if he were the richer spouse. Then there’s the affair. It’s unclear if this is real or a falsified cry for attention, but either way it’s inexcusable. He puts her through undue emotional turmoil because he doesn’t know how to handle his own insecurities, or properly communicate to them. It’d be one thing if it turned out Astrid had been ignoring him in favor of her career, but it’s constantly shown she still invests herself in him and their son. Astrid ultimately realizes his actions are not her fault. He’s made her feel ashamed of being successful, because he perceives it as a threat to his reputation. This is a guy who tried to unironically pass himself off as an “SJW” and reclaim the term in his Captain Marvel video. Yet he somehow took an entire sequence about a woman coming to terms with her wealth and status; realizing these were not insults to her husband’s masculinity and him thinking they did was his problem; and being confident in who she was; and all he got out of it was “Pfft, rich people problems, am I right?” News flash: someone being richer than you doesn’t give you a right to shame them. Nor does their money protect them from feeling the effects of a toxic, emotionally abusive partner.
i’m so confused why like every joke was a sin.? it’s a rom-com, and the whole point is the over-the-top ridiculousness of it all. there was plenty to talk about otherwise
this is just how his videos work. oftentimes he points out something dumb that a character said, make a joke, and add a sin. there’s also a lot of running gags on his channel where he adds a sin and it seems nonsensical if you haven’t seen his other videos. it’s just the structure of his videos. the sins are often more of a comedic thing than anything
Did you know China actually funds many Hollywood films, also it's based about population so one of the smallest minority groups tend to get equal representation to population size or less.
No it's really not. Asians are heavily represented in the world with in the confines of what is considered 1st world or industrialized entertainment. Blacks and Middle Easterns still aren't very well represented. But this leads to the fact that if anything, this movie shows that all these people were hired because they are Asian, not because they may of fit the part or been good actors. This is why forced diversity is stupid, because it's just more racism. What movies SHOULD do, unless the point of the movie is actually about the persons race or gender, they should just pick from a hat any race or gender for any character. Just make it random, no white washing, no quotas, no forced diversity that is picked. Race and gender make so little actual difference in life when you look at people and how similar they all are so why is it that in movies they definitely play to stereotypes? Can't people just be people, not their race or gender?
I am a woman and I don't like it. Luckily my other female friends are like me. If we need anything we just go quick and then go somewhere to eat or I will just go by myself. So it is just a personal thing. Not so much an all women or all men thing.
Thank you for pointing out that people in college right now ARE NOT MILLENNIALS! Half the people I hear complain about millennials are themselves millennials and it drives me crazy.
I mean, it depends, you can go to college or university when you're older But fewer people do, so ye you're right, except for 'mature students' in which case, the eldest student I ever met was in his 70s
Millennials are 1998 and earlier by most definitions, but others claim 2000, or 9/11/2001 to be the dividing point. So if you are 23, you are definitely a millennial. And juniors and seniors in college right now are still millenials.
@@KennyakaTI I would argue that the most important event dividing millennials from gen z is the creation of the iPhone. Millennials remember when a phone couldn't do everything, but gen z can't, which puts the dividing line somewhere around 2000-2003. It's not a matter of moving the goalposts. The issue is that people tried to make the millennial era too short from the beginning, encompassing less years that any previous generation, in order to make the end of the millennials line up with the beginning of the new millennium. A generation is normally about 20 years. 2000-2006 is what would make the millennial generation about as long as other generations. The question about the dividing line should be based on the most significant event which changed lifestyles. Some people point to the 9/11 attacks, but honestly, those didn't cause enough social change in my eyes, and the iPhone had a much more widespread and long-lasting impact on most individuals.
The accuracy of this movie tho omfg. The family groupchats, introduction to the extended family, hiding expensive shopping, bible study with the aunties and grandma, prejudice to non-asian in-laws, the ''Just because we're rich doesn't mean we can't do ordinary thing like making dumplings with family". This is all so true.
I'm glad that he points out the fact that Nick had a whole year to tell Rachel about his family/wealth/notoriety and then didn't. That bothered me a lot while watching the movie. I get that Nick probably didn't want to scare her or be taken advantage of but seriously? Pull your shit together and give her a heads up, would it have killed you or something?
I didn't see the movie, but the vibe of that idea says he doesn't actually trust her and has to put her through some kind of vetting process instead of giving her the benefit of the doubt that she's a decent person all on her own. Tsk tsk.
That's actually why in the book, Rachel hasn't completely forgiven him yet in the end. It took Nick and Rachel rebuilding their relationship again before he proposed to her again and she finally accepted. Nick and his mom were estranged for a while, and Rachel had to learn to trust Nick again.
Also he must have straight up lied because it definitely would have come up. I feel like in a one year relationship you get at least a general overview of a person’s life. Like has she never asked about his family?
You should read the book, the movie doesn't do it justice. Nick was raised NOT to show his wealth and lived an ordinary life abroad. He couldn't tell Rachel so much because he himself did not know the extent of his royalty. It's not an excuse but he was practically the only one oblivious to his family's wealth.
why? this movie is trash. plotline is unrealistic and all characters are jackasses except astrid and awkafina's character. nick is an asshole and rachel is a bimbo who never acts like an actual prof
I thought all their sins were super valid. I still enjoyed the movie, but all their sins were on point for me. That's rom-coms for ya. They're not always high-quality stuff but people love 'em anyway. It's sort of an oxymoron I guess? But it is what it is.
Luxan Jeya ofc the plotline is unrealistic (they’re rich) and the characters can seem like jackasses at first but I feel like they’ve gone through character development, especially the mom
Okay usually I’m a huge fan of cinema sins but a lot of things about this one rEALLY annoyed me. First of all, you completely discredited the racism shown towards the family which, in my mind, is an important part of the film. It shows how the Young family and many people of color are constantly overlooked even as successful people just because of the color of their skin. Second of all, Astrid’s storyline not only shows great symbolism as foil characters for Rachel and Nick, but it shows that Astrid can be her amazing self and own her womanhood wether or not her husband supports her. Third of all, you completely skipped over the most gorgeous scene of the entire movie. THE WEDDING!! The wedding was executed beautifully and gracefully and seeing Rachel as she was at the wedding talking to a literal princess was my FAVORITE SCENE OF THE ENTIRE MOVIE
In asia all phones have that loud shutter sound on the default camera. You cant turn it off. It's to prevent getting sneaky creeper pictures like up skirts.
Racists being racist up in here. Stereotyping in 2019? Come on internet. Look at me on my Chinese OEM phone shutting off my shutter sound. You know what phone doesn't let you shut your shutter sound off? iPhone. You have to mute your whole phone. There's no separate option to just turn off shutter sound.
in all fairness, the movie only did the bare minimum with Astrid's storyline. the books are 1/3 nick and rachel, 1/3 astrid. michael, charlie, and 1/3 eleanor
Karlo Gabriel and rightly so, because Astrid's storyline was so boring and hard to sympathize with. Kevin Kwan couldn't stop telling us how gorgeous, desirable, fashionable and privileged she is... The good thing about the books that the movie lacks in is that they dive pretty deep into the unique aspects of Singaporean culture from food, language and the education systems. But the thing that the movie does well and the books do not is the PLOT. The series originally starts off with being about Nick and Rachel then starts adding so many other characters that I don't have the opportunity to care about them at all. The book should focus mostly on Nick and Rachel's relationship .
6:19 remove that sin because *it the law to have the camera sound on. Since so many ppl in Asia record and take photos of others' secrets. Singapore made it a law and you can get fine.*
It’s true in Japan but he also mentioned how far away she was and he’s right it wouldn’t have been heard from that distance if such a law exists in Singapore too
No Name Passerby A god you’re dense. Non white people have experienced racism exactly of this nature which white people think is just a “cliche” and “doesn’t happen”.
No Name Passerby A they’re making life harder for the white men because they’re cis not because they are white. You and other white people will never understand what it feels like to be discriminated against because of *RACE*
Slowdayonthe MISSISSIPPI but it’s still wrong to say that racism is a cliche. Just because all white people aren’t racist and all other groups might have individuals who are racist does not make it okay to say white people being racist is cliche. Just cause one white person you know was not racist doesn’t mean all white people aren’t racist and that was based on the past which means racism was worse in the white community then than it is now
This movie was funny and visually interesting to watch, but I could never figure out what Rachel saw in Nick. Sure he seems generally friendly and fairly attractive, but he also spends most of the movie not thinking about her needs or emotional well being. No need to prep your girlfriend for dealing with your crazy and backstabbing relatives. If anything, the events of the movie should have resulted in Rachel seriously reassessing her life and coming to the conclusion that her boyfriend either a) didn't trust her or b) didn't think her emotional health mattered. Money or not, do you really want to marry a man child with no concept of consequences?
In rhe movie it reads as she can handle anything so she doesn't need my help. But still ugh stupid obvious miscommunication to pull the story along. (Like that is pretty accurate in relation to most real world problems but its not entertaining)
Well, in the book Rachel goes that route. She breaks up with Nick and he had to win her over again a year or so later. I wished that the movie took that same route. I was very disappointed when they did that cliche "chase the girl on the plane" scene.
Absolutely agree. Once it is clear that the relationship is serious enough to introduce her to his family, he should have prepared her for all the finesses of social life in his insanely rich and judgmental family. By the latest as soon as she agrees to travel to singapore with him. Not just throw her to the wolves and let his family walk all over her. To be fair, I wouldn't have started to date this man child in the first place.
Kirsten Paff I hate to be that person, but the books are a lot better than the movie. It leaves out a lot from the books and the books explain the slang and everything in hilarious annotations by the author and yeah. The books are better and are a lot funnier
“Yet another makeover montage... I’m just saying I’ve never really seen a guy do one” Um, excuse me but have you seen revolutionary cinematic masterpiece High School Musical 3? Thank you.
Cinemasins has an undeniable point around 9 minutes in: we see nothing of Nick and Rachel’s relationship. Not even close. The final scenes lose emotion drastically as a result. Also: predictable, narrow-viewed and crippled by an inability to utilise the diverse Singapore background.
Caleb Lim Agreed, flat, one dimensional characters that is so obviously tailored to fit with the plot rather than making them believable (example: Awkwafina playing the “bestie of the main character” role in a stereotypically obnoxious way). I wasn’t convinced by the main character’s “love” at any time throughout the movie, especially Nick’s weak presence and the main character’s lack of personality
@Miriam Svenson the point of this channel is for the observant and/or nitpicky to nod and agree with each other- not review films. Who the hell uses those emojis? I would have loved the movie if there was a few seconds of delay on the emoji input for realism or some thumbing around the keyboard. Realism can be cut if it gets in the way of pacing but being a comedy it would have been an awesome attention to detail.
It is a sad thing that we're in 2019 now and Asians are still being treated as the butt of jokes. Good thing they'll probably end up abandoning Hollywood completely now that China's even got blockbuster hits.
@@findthisrighthere9476 especially the part where Astrid puts those earrings on, because the relevance is that the initial Queen who wore them, wore them to her OWN coronation. The cultural symbolism is that Astrid is taking back control of her power, something that in Asian cultures is rare for a woman to do. That's the whole point of Astrid's earrings when she walks out on Michael.
I think they had deleted scenes where they showed her being good friends with her TA, and they just weren't put into the movie, hence him being good enough friends with her to be flown there on a whim :p
C.DatAZNguyoverthere I think he tries to get every movie to at least 100 (or so it seems I don’t actually watch all of his videos - this was in my recommended) and the wedding scene would’ve knocked off too many to be 100. The final result was only 101 sins.
@@multifandomismyhobi1533 Can someone please explain what exactly is so "amazing" about the wedding scene? I've watched the movie multiple times and I fail to see anything special about it whatsoever. It's a wedding scene. A very ostentatious one, but still a wedding scene.
In my university Chinese parents (including alumni's parents) have a huge mega-chat about everything that's going on and they know the news faster than me. You largely misunderstand Asian culture and the power of Chinese networking *cheers for profem points
It did happen in the book, but Astrid did it all by herself and stuffed it into a room I think (please don't at me in the comments, I haven't read the book in years) but in the movie there were definitely more maids, and a LOT more places to hide her things.
4:50 Asian joke about how our older family members always think we’re too skinny Q_Q y’all need to hire An Asian person to look over these sins my gawwwddd 🙃
It's a fact of life for Asians especially the ones that have to deal with westerners. I can't tell you how often my friends have had to explain themselves to people over and over. It's literally one stereotype after the next.
In most of the videos, the sins are 99% jokes and 1% actual critiques/plot holes. Its obvious that they’re going for comedy so its natural to have most of your sins be bullshit thats explained by the movie.
While I agree that the opening seems a little bit "out of place" for a rom-com and I didn't particularly care for it, I still disagree with this video that it was "unnecessary" and just a "cliche". Until, I saw this video and read the comments, I actually didn't think much of it. But when I did think more about it, I think of it as like an orange peel - it may not be what you want, but it serves a purpose and without it something would be lessened. And I don't think the person making this video thought about it too deeply. 1) If you look at it from the kids point of view, a lightning storm is scary so the tone would fit in with how those kids must be feeling. True it's not a "rom-com" feeling but it's more of a background set up thing. 2) For a couple of reasons, I find it funny that some white people get so "defensive" about the hotel manager being racist and accuse the film makers of a "cliche" and at the same time want non-white people to just "brush off that racist incident". 2a) The previous owner of the hotel was also white but didn't treat Michele Yeoh's character in a racist way. Maybe the previous owner is racist and hired that manager because they shared the same views, but we don't actually know enough about him to make that call. So judging the previous owner by his own behaviour, you can't accuse the film makers of portraying "every" white person as being racist. (Also none of the white students later in the movie were showing racist behaviours either.) 2b) The other reason I find it funny is that there are plenty of movies with white characters that aren't being portrayed as being racist. But how many movies are there where non-white people are not being portrayed by a stereotype. (Ok that is getting better now, but still...) It's ironic because in the past when there is only one Asian, Black or any other non-white character in a movie and they are being portrayed in a racist way, those same people would be quick to try to dismiss complaints about it. 2c) I also liked that some of the Asian characters were "jerks" - so not all of them are "perfect" and the decent ones balance out the "bad" ones and it's like "hey, what do you know, Asian people are just like other people as well - there's some good, some bad and a number of ones in between." 3) I think it also gives a glimpse of Michelle Yeoh's character's thought processes and why she doesn't like "foreigners". And how it reinforced to her how money can control things - that hotel manager treated her badly because he had "power" over her ... but after her husband bought the hotel, suddenly she has the power over the manager. If he wasn't racist and treated her decently, then he shouldn't be nervous/afraid when he learned that her husband had just bought the hotel. He wouldn't even let her use the phone and she had to go out in the rain to find a pay phone! 4) I also think this isn't just a "cliche" and it actually is an "interesting twist". A lot of movies take place in the US where non-white people are visible minorities. My parents immigrated here as kids so they basically mostly grew up in a "North American" culture and adopted to the culture here ... and yet they still faced racism just because of their skin colour and not how they acted. What Rachel's mother said later in the movie resonated with me. When she told her that they saw her as a "banana" - because she was "yellow on the outside, but white on the inside" seemed "true" to me. It's one thing to go to somewhere and be treated badly because you don't act like the majority of the people there do, but it's different when you are treated badly where you are some place where some "outsider" comes in and treats you badly. That is the case here - Hong Kong is composed mostly of Chinese people and the British are the minority there. But instead of trying to learn and understand the culture there and "fit in", they tried to push their own culture onto the people there. So that is why I think it's an interesting twist - because this isn't happening in a country that is predominantly white people. But the hotel manager, a white person goes to a country that isn't predominantly white and acts racist towards them because they aren't like him/white... and how many times have you seen that in a movie? Yeah, I guess it is a subtle difference that the person making the video didn't notice, but it is kind of slightly significant. 5) I will give the creator of this video some credit - if he wasn't so "flippant" about the opening scene, I might not have bothered to try to analyze the opening scene as much ... after all, I did go see the movie just because I heard that it was supposed to be a rom-com. (Actually the only reason why I'm even on here was because I was thinking about and wanted to see the wedding scene again and saw this link... otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered to comment about the movie.) 6) Oh, and I'm not going to go through all of the other "sins" but those "large subtitles" never bothered me - while my eyesight is fine, I do realize that for older people whose eyesight isn't as good that the larger font size for the titles might be helpful to them.
You said it! Everything I wanted to comment on and then some. But just one mistake, it was her bestie who referenced the banana not her mother. Unless her mother said so in another scene. An excuse to watch this movie again 😉 Thank you for taking the time to write ALL this. I definitely understand the opening scene now that you've explained. Enjoyed this movie, not all great moments but it was worth the watch. I'm definitely getting the book.✊🏾
Seriously, this is what I’ve been wanting to say, and this isn’t the first time people (not just white people, literally just people) have been triggered by the hotel scene. I ‘brush off’ so many racist incidents so often (some I’ve experienced myself, some I’ve observed) that now I just feel like I have to explain myself whenever someone blatantly assumes something about me based on my race or religion. Idk really, I can sympathize with both non-white people and white people now.

Well, I think they could phrase it better but rather than "racism is not a big deal", I think he is "sinning" the racism bit because it is a bit on the nose. Like, how often do we come across people in the service industry that acts like that? It may be because I am a bit sheltered and live in big cities all my life (and I do understand that anti-Asian sentiment is a big problem at the moment) but when I come across racism in my life it is a lot more subtle than that. It is a full on character establishment trope and Tropes Are Not Bad per se, but this is Cinema Sins where they point out tropes and call them "sins" to make content.

@@999SickBoy666 What do you mean? There def are sins in filmmaking. Cliches, poor editing, continuity errors, and bland/recycled main characters are huge sins that you want to avoid when making a movie, but some writers/directors are garbage abd don't care.
The subplot with Astrid and Michael was, in my opinion, meant to parallel Nick and Rachel's relationship, and show how it can go wrong. Michael, like Rachel, had a successful career, but was still way less rich than his spouse and was disliked by his in-laws for it. But while Rachel faced the stigma from her in-laws and proved that she was good enough for Nick, no matter what other people said, Michael was unable to do that. Instead, he was haunted by those insecurities which eventually destroyed his marriage. Astrid and Michael's relationship was meant to show what would have happened if Rachel had married Nick when he proposed the first time. She wouldn't have had the support of Nick's family and would have spiraled into the same issues that Michael had.
giving "sins" on an asian movie with western mindset. which is why this one strayed from the usual cinema sins. even asian socialites have cited that the movie is 80-ish accurate to their actual lifestyle.
You can tell he really loves this movie under his whole schtick and for that I appreciate you. Also the reason they talk about Astrid so much is because she and her husband’s evolving relationship is the central plot line for the first book, and the Joseph Gordon Levite knockoff was supposed to be in more scenes before they cut him out, and had been confirmed for an even bigger role in the next one

6:23 Sin 57 - Phones always make that shutter sound and usually in my experience it's annoyingly deep to turn it off because silent cameras lead to more upskirt shots. One of the reasons they make the sound in the first place is to let people know their picture is being taken.
@Elisa Castro no you seem to be missing my point and I might have flubbed my explanation. In all but one of the phones I've owned and maybe two of the phones I've tested this one belonging to other people. You literally can't turn off the shutter sound. You can change it but you can't turn it off. My point was that the shutter sound is "hardwired" into the phone camera software specifically because otherwise people can take up skirts or down blouse shots unawares. But since the shutter noise goes off all the time if you try to take a picture of someone without them knowing, they will hear the sound and the subject becomes aware a photo of them was taken.
I wonder about the prevalence of that, though. Every phone I have ever had always had the option to remove the shutter sound. That sound isn't there to prevent sneaky pictures (though it may do so), it is there because people like having a sound attached to actions. It's the same reason that pressing buttons are often accompanied by a tapping sound (that can also be turned off), because that audio confirmation that lines up with the action feels more natural to us.
@@SgtSupaman Nope, once you enter some countries in Asia the shutter sound is activated automatically and can not be turned off for the whole duration of the stay. This is the case in S. Korea and Japan, and maybe some other countries as far as I recall. Phones bought in Europe, the US and other countries that don't have this requirement can have their shutter sound turned off in countries that allow it - but phones bought on Asian grounds always have the shutter sound on, no matter what, even if you're in an European country, for example.
@@SgtSupaman Yep in Japan there is no way to turn off the shutter sound and it is kind of loud. The reason is exactly what the other person said. It is to prevent upskirt photos which was a huge issue. I've been to Japan several times and people were surprised that my camera didn't make a sound when I took photos. The lock is based on where you purchase the phone. So that is why my phone didn't make a sound in Japan.
Was that really the point of the movie though?? The bigger point was probably about how movie about a love story with an all-Asian cast could do as well as one with white people. It was relatable for Asians, but that's not because it was stereotyping them. Embracing and celebrating a culture for what it is is different from making offensive jokes about how Asians can't drive.

Meh. A man should make his girl feel like a queen. If they love each other, it should go both ways. But, to each his/her own
Why was she able to just take THEIR kid?
As a non-rich woman, I find Cinemasins’ take refreshing. The fact that she owns 14 apartment buildings means that the poor paid for her 1.2 million dollar earrings just so that they could have a roof over their heads.
As for their relationship, a key difference between Astrid and Nick is Astrid’s passivity. Michael gets treated shabbily by the family (this is portrayed more explicitly in the book) and instead of standing up for him, Astrid merely hides her expensive clothes from him. We see it a little with Rachel and the fish too - Astrid helps Rachel, but she doesn’t stand up to the other women. The writers could have given her character development there, like they did with Nick, who initially buries his head in the sand but later stands up for Rachel. But they didn’t, and in light of that, Astrid’s moment of “triumph” falls as flat for me as it appears to do for CinemaSins. Especially now I know that in the book, Michael fakes cheating so that he can break up with Astrid while allowing her to save face.
@@crystyxnit was hinted in the movie that he doesn’t spend time with their kid either way.
He gives sin points for asians knowing nick from the back of his head. He clearly doesn't know the power of social medias with asians.

plus the fact that they were able to find out who Rachel is was no exaggeration. I have friends who can do this within minutes, esp girls.
I actually think the subplot was an important part of the movie. They worked as foils to our protagonists to show that marrying rich doesn't always work. *shrugs*
Or that there's room for either person to f*** it up, whether they rich or poor
Or that it doesn't always turn out glamorous or happy.
@@arjunwali8386 they should've turn into a Drama rather than a movies, since they have limited time
The movie cut out all the nuance, though. In the book, the family treats Michael like unpaid tech support and there’s a scene where Michael calls out the fact that the Khoos are spending millions on one party while half the world is starving. And he fakes cheating so that the family will put all the blame on him for the breakup and not judge Astrid. He’s still not a perfect character by any means, but the movie made him into an out and out antagonist when he wasn’t meant to be.
Why dose he keep counting people being racist towards them a Cliché? It’s not. That’s what happens in the real world. 🙄
Sure but the example in the beginning is so ridiculous. Like yea there are racist people. But the manager of a fancy hotel turning away obviously rich people with a reservation in the rain because they're Asian is a little unrealistic. Like I don't know how intolerant Britain was in the 90s to Asians but that's some cartoon level racism
Robert Frances Donovan Agree. The world is full of awful racists, and Jeremy was definitely a bit unfair to this movie, but that level of extreme discrimination at a fancy hotel just wouldn’t happen in Britain in the ‘90s.
@@robdon3472 y'all wake tf up it happens until now too. Ofc you wouldn't know🤦🏻♀️ don't take that as unrealistic yet not experiencing that kind of treatment
@@robdon3472 LOL I agree. Racism is real, a fact & will be an ongoing phenomenon till the end of time. Only, nobody knows it unless someone openly speaks rudely about it. These days, racism & discrimination are hidden but it will ALWAYS be there. Speaking of evolution.
It would never happen to anybody with enough money to reserve the Lancaster room. While Asians do experience discrimination, it's unlikely to have touched those with the wealth & status to buy respect.
Ok, I wouldn’t bring it up, except he sinned the movie so much for it that I’ve gotta call it out: That subplot with Astrid and Michael was one of the best elements of the movie, and CS here either deliberately misinterpreted it, or was a colossal dunce during any scene about it.
The struggle of the subplot was not about Astrid being rich and learning to be happy. It was about Michael’s insecurities and how he unfairly blamed her for them.
Astrid clearly loves Michael, as suggested by her buying him gifts and wanting to help him thrive. But Michael is focused on himself and his own discomforts, namely that he feels less of a man for bot being the breadwinner. Something he likely would never have considered about Astrid if HE were the breadwinner. Maybe people are shaming him for it (which we never actually see evidence of, btw).
But rather than being vulnerable and seeking emotional affirmation from Astrid, or realizing anyone shaming him for having a hot rich wife who sincerely loves him for who he is can go fuck themselves, he gets bitter. He either talks about her family looking at him with scorn, rejects her help and gifts, or accepts them in a strained manner. All these acts make Astrid feel like a failure as a wife, since she can’t make him happy or do anything to fix his problems. He makes his insecurities Astrid’s fault. So much so that she actively hides her wealth because he’s made her think she’s flaunting it, rather than she’s just getting what she likes. Which again, I doubt he’d do if he were the richer spouse.
Then there’s the affair. It’s unclear if this is real or a falsified cry for attention, but either way it’s inexcusable. He puts her through undue emotional turmoil because he doesn’t know how to handle his own insecurities, or properly communicate to them. It’d be one thing if it turned out Astrid had been ignoring him in favor of her career, but it’s constantly shown she still invests herself in him and their son.
Astrid ultimately realizes his actions are not her fault. He’s made her feel ashamed of being successful, because he perceives it as a threat to his reputation.
This is a guy who tried to unironically pass himself off as an “SJW” and reclaim the term in his Captain Marvel video. Yet he somehow took an entire sequence about a woman coming to terms with her wealth and status; realizing these were not insults to her husband’s masculinity and him thinking they did was his problem; and being confident in who she was; and all he got out of it was “Pfft, rich people problems, am I right?”
News flash: someone being richer than you doesn’t give you a right to shame them. Nor does their money protect them from feeling the effects of a toxic, emotionally abusive partner.
Yes
AMEN

im glad that the asian community finally got some representment in hollywood outside of the traditional kung fu action role
Oh, but if they gave a Kung Fu role to someone else, then it would be whitewashing.
Did you know China actually funds many Hollywood films, also it's based about population so one of the smallest minority groups tend to get equal representation to population size or less.
@LocalToast That's very rude and racist.
No it's really not. Asians are heavily represented in the world with in the confines of what is considered 1st world or industrialized entertainment. Blacks and Middle Easterns still aren't very well represented. But this leads to the fact that if anything, this movie shows that all these people were hired because they are Asian, not because they may of fit the part or been good actors. This is why forced diversity is stupid, because it's just more racism.
What movies SHOULD do, unless the point of the movie is actually about the persons race or gender, they should just pick from a hat any race or gender for any character. Just make it random, no white washing, no quotas, no forced diversity that is picked.
Race and gender make so little actual difference in life when you look at people and how similar they all are so why is it that in movies they definitely play to stereotypes? Can't people just be people, not their race or gender?

Thank you for pointing out that people in college right now ARE NOT MILLENNIALS! Half the people I hear complain about millennials are themselves millennials and it drives me crazy.
I mean, it depends, you can go to college or university when you're older But fewer people do, so ye you're right, except for 'mature students' in which case, the eldest student I ever met was in his 70s
@Randy Keith No. Millenials are pretty much grown up. Your generation is right under that
Millennials are 1998 and earlier by most definitions, but others claim 2000, or 9/11/2001 to be the dividing point. So if you are 23, you are definitely a millennial. And juniors and seniors in college right now are still millenials.
@@I_like_pi_ the problem is people keep moving the goal post for millenials. When will people stop doing that. 2001 is definitely not a millennial.
@@KennyakaTI I would argue that the most important event dividing millennials from gen z is the creation of the iPhone. Millennials remember when a phone couldn't do everything, but gen z can't, which puts the dividing line somewhere around 2000-2003. It's not a matter of moving the goalposts. The issue is that people tried to make the millennial era too short from the beginning, encompassing less years that any previous generation, in order to make the end of the millennials line up with the beginning of the new millennium. A generation is normally about 20 years. 2000-2006 is what would make the millennial generation about as long as other generations. The question about the dividing line should be based on the most significant event which changed lifestyles. Some people point to the 9/11 attacks, but honestly, those didn't cause enough social change in my eyes, and the iPhone had a much more widespread and long-lasting impact on most individuals.

The accuracy of this movie tho omfg. The family groupchats, introduction to the extended family, hiding expensive shopping, bible study with the aunties and grandma, prejudice to non-asian in-laws, the ''Just because we're rich doesn't mean we can't do ordinary thing like making dumplings with family".

LifeofDOugh that’s just like your opinion man
Exactly! I'm like 3/4 of the way through book 2 and I cannot WAIT to see Astrid and Charlie end up together!!!
What is the movie title?
@Ayan UwU I'm interested
I'm glad that he points out the fact that Nick had a whole year to tell Rachel about his family/wealth/notoriety and then didn't. That bothered me a lot while watching the movie. I get that Nick probably didn't want to scare her or be taken advantage of but seriously? Pull your shit together and give her a heads up, would it have killed you or something?
I didn't see the movie, but the vibe of that idea says he doesn't actually trust her and has to put her through some kind of vetting process instead of giving her the benefit of the doubt that she's a decent person all on her own. Tsk tsk.
That's actually why in the book, Rachel hasn't completely forgiven him yet in the end. It took Nick and Rachel rebuilding their relationship again before he proposed to her again and she finally accepted. Nick and his mom were estranged for a while, and Rachel had to learn to trust Nick again.
Also he must have straight up lied because it definitely would have come up. I feel like in a one year relationship you get at least a general overview of a person’s life. Like has she never asked about his family?
I find it incredulous after one year of dating she had no inkling he was rich? where did they go to eat, where did he live, what did he drive?
You should read the book, the movie doesn't do it justice. Nick was raised NOT to show his wealth and lived an ordinary life abroad. He couldn't tell Rachel so much because he himself did not know the extent of his royalty. It's not an excuse but he was practically the only one oblivious to his family's wealth.
for the first time I'm a little annoyed with cinemasins.
Natalie Xu me too.
I'm sorry...this is the FIRST time?
why? this movie is trash. plotline is unrealistic and all characters are jackasses except astrid and awkafina's character. nick is an asshole and rachel is a bimbo who never acts like an actual prof
I thought all their sins were super valid. I still enjoyed the movie, but all their sins were on point for me. That's rom-coms for ya. They're not always high-quality stuff but people love 'em anyway. It's sort of an oxymoron I guess? But it is what it is.
Luxan Jeya ofc the plotline is unrealistic (they’re rich) and the characters can seem like jackasses at first but I feel like they’ve gone through character development, especially the mom
Does anyone else feel like cinema sins has drifted away from actually finding inconsistencies and cliches in movies to bashing on whatever is popular.
Yeah this clown is really reaching. I guess if you're desperate to find sin you can find it anywhere.
Yeah, they are desperate for views.
where is the lie?
They literally made an entire video about people not understanding sarcasm. You are a prime example of one such person.
It’s been that way for years
Okay usually I’m a huge fan of cinema sins but a lot of things about this one rEALLY annoyed me. First of all, you completely discredited the racism shown towards the family which, in my mind, is an important part of the film. It shows how the Young family and many people of color are constantly overlooked even as successful people just because of the color of their skin. Second of all, Astrid’s storyline not only shows great symbolism as foil characters for Rachel and Nick, but it shows that Astrid can be her amazing self and own her womanhood wether or not her husband supports her. Third of all, you completely skipped over the most gorgeous scene of the entire movie. THE WEDDING!! The wedding was executed beautifully and gracefully and seeing Rachel as she was at the wedding talking to a literal princess was my FAVORITE SCENE OF THE ENTIRE MOVIE

There are BOOKS? Plural? Oh Lord.
MrBo Jangles 3 of them, there’s a sequel to this movie coming out in like 2020
i also feel that the book focuses a lot on kitty pong as well
Karlo Gabriel
and rightly so, because Astrid's storyline was so boring and hard to sympathize with. Kevin Kwan couldn't stop telling us how gorgeous, desirable, fashionable and privileged she is... The good thing about the books that the movie lacks in is that they dive pretty deep into the unique aspects of Singaporean culture from food, language and the education systems. But the thing that the movie does well and the books do not is the PLOT. The series originally starts off with being about Nick and Rachel then starts adding so many other characters that I don't have the opportunity to care about them at all. The book should focus mostly on Nick and Rachel's relationship .
Honestly astrid's story is much more worth it. Hopefulky the sequel will focus more on her and her back story. I love her.
6:19 remove that sin because *it the law to have the camera sound on. Since so many ppl in Asia record and take photos of others' secrets. Singapore made it a law and you can get fine.*

This movie was funny and visually interesting to watch, but I could never figure out what Rachel saw in Nick. Sure he seems generally friendly and fairly attractive, but he also spends most of the movie not thinking about her needs or emotional well being. No need to prep your girlfriend for dealing with your crazy and backstabbing relatives. If anything, the events of the movie should have resulted in Rachel seriously reassessing her life and coming to the conclusion that her boyfriend either a) didn't trust her or b) didn't think her emotional health mattered. Money or not, do you really want to marry a man child with no concept of consequences?
In rhe movie it reads as she can handle anything so she doesn't need my help. But still ugh stupid obvious miscommunication to pull the story along. (Like that is pretty accurate in relation to most real world problems but its not entertaining)
Well, in the book Rachel goes that route. She breaks up with Nick and he had to win her over again a year or so later.
I wished that the movie took that same route. I was very disappointed when they did that cliche "chase the girl on the plane" scene.
Absolutely agree.
Once it is clear that the relationship is serious enough to introduce her to his family, he should have prepared her for all the finesses of social life in his insanely rich and judgmental family. By the latest as soon as she agrees to travel to singapore with him. Not just throw her to the wolves and let his family walk all over her.
To be fair, I wouldn't have started to date this man child in the first place.
Maybe Nick was testing her. Which would have still been awful!
Kirsten Paff I hate to be that person, but the books are a lot better than the movie. It leaves out a lot from the books and the books explain the slang and everything in hilarious annotations by the author and yeah. The books are better and are a lot funnier

Why? That was probably the best part of the movie for me!

I'm sorry WHAT did you just call Harry Shum Jr.
Emma Maxwell I’m still shocked
Discount Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Cuong Tran And it’s a great nickname
astrid has all my respect. god, she's like, the best character ever and didn't deserve what happened to her
The problem is she is so good as a character it makes her one dimensional
loved her and araminta
@@medd0ws yes because being a nice person makes you one dimensional
The Mahjong scene is truly amazing. I got goosebump.
I honestly loved this movie so much and saw no issue lol. Everything he complained about was little stuff that made sense to the plot
That’s the point of the channel. Lighten up.
but to me, I've grown up watching Asian movies so this movie is just average not "THE BEST"
Cinemasins has an undeniable point around 9 minutes in: we see nothing of Nick and Rachel’s relationship. Not even close. The final scenes lose emotion drastically as a result. Also: predictable, narrow-viewed and crippled by an inability to utilise the diverse Singapore background.
Caleb Lim Agreed, flat, one dimensional characters that is so obviously tailored to fit with the plot rather than making them believable (example: Awkwafina playing the “bestie of the main character” role in a stereotypically obnoxious way). I wasn’t convinced by the main character’s “love” at any time throughout the movie, especially Nick’s weak presence and the main character’s lack of personality
The poker scene was the stupidest part of this movie so I agree with him there but for the most part the movie was great
why no love for Astrid 😭😭
He hates Bucky too so don't expect him to have a good taste in characters... Astrid is great
Charles li i love astrid she’s a strong and wonderful woman
Because the screenwriters made her character flat by not exploring her flaws, from what I can see.
If you don’t like the movie just say that. You’re disliking things that are obviously there for movie purposes. Really, the fish and hook emojis?
He even criticized his own fave movies on this channel. He will nitpick even if he worships the movie he's reviewing. That's what he does
you must be new to this channel.
@Miriam Svenson the point of this channel is for the observant and/or nitpicky to nod and agree with each other- not review films.
Who the hell uses those emojis? I would have loved the movie if there was a few seconds of delay on the emoji input for realism or some thumbing around the keyboard. Realism can be cut if it gets in the way of pacing but being a comedy it would have been an awesome attention to detail.
that’s the whole point of this channel...
Lmao way to misunderstand the whole point
How dare you call Harry Shum Jr a discount Joseph Gordon Levit?!!?
It is a sad thing that we're in 2019 now and Asians are still being treated as the butt of jokes. Good thing they'll probably end up abandoning Hollywood completely now that China's even got blockbuster hits.
I came to the comments solely to express this.
yeah that was a white moment of white moments.
It's a joke! He's just some damn actor, one of thousands. Get a life!
The sin removals on this one were on point! Also, good find with the TA at the end!
Critical Reviews many were cultural misunderstanding
@@findthisrighthere9476 especially the part where Astrid puts those earrings on, because the relevance is that the initial Queen who wore them, wore them to her OWN coronation. The cultural symbolism is that Astrid is taking back control of her power, something that in Asian cultures is rare for a woman to do. That's the whole point of Astrid's earrings when she walks out on Michael.
I think they had deleted scenes where they showed her being good friends with her TA, and they just weren't put into the movie, hence him being good enough friends with her to be flown there on a whim :p
Jesus Christ loves you God bless and save you amen.
I think there should have been more sin removals tbh
Why Cinema Sins not SINema?
that is so genius!!
sweetieimdagirl because that would be like a double negative
joiedevivre90 No just change it to SINema, one word.
The fact that the channel name doesn’t include that pun in itself is a sin. -Ding!-
Because alliteration rolls off the tongue better and you don't have to see the spelling of the channel name to get it.
The best line (fight me on this people) in this movie is
“and we got Asian Ellen.”
yes i also loved when he screamed at them to eat the chicken nuggets 😂😂
The sins in this video felt more arbitrary than usual
Tazlina Rhetoric it honestly did
The actress playing his mom provided her own emerald ring for this movie. She definitely understands how to play the part of a mega rich Asian woman.
Surprised you didn't say anything about the wedding scene.
I'm guessing there was nothing to sin there, and he preferred to knock sins off for the Mahjong scene.
the sin counter would go back to zero because it's an amazing scene
C.DatAZNguyoverthere
I think he tries to get every movie to at least 100 (or so it seems I don’t actually watch all of his videos - this was in my recommended) and the wedding scene would’ve knocked off too many to be 100. The final result was only 101 sins.
@@multifandomismyhobi1533 Can someone please explain what exactly is so "amazing" about the wedding scene?
I've watched the movie multiple times and I fail to see anything special about it whatsoever.
It's a wedding scene. A very ostentatious one, but still a wedding scene.
I haven’t seen this movie in awhile and I also want to know why people are talking about him taking off sins for that scene as well
You’re sinning things about asian culture when you have limited/no understanding of many of its hidden social dynamics
Eric Lang Tbh, true.

Hide the expensive shopping is actually a thing 😂
It did happen in the book, but Astrid did it all by herself and stuffed it into a room I think (please don't at me in the comments, I haven't read the book in years) but in the movie there were definitely more maids, and a LOT more places to hide her things.

I don't think that's just an asian thing. My aunts say that about people in our family too. "you need to eat something, you're too skinny"

It's a fact of life for Asians especially the ones that have to deal with westerners. I can't tell you how often my friends have had to explain themselves to people over and over. It's literally one stereotype after the next.
@@eternalreign2313 True. I'm Italian. My mom does that to me too. Every time. Even when I tell her I gained weight.
Not gonna lie, a lot of the sins were bullshit. But hey thats me
In most of the videos, the sins are 99% jokes and 1% actual critiques/plot holes. Its obvious that they’re going for comedy so its natural to have most of your sins be bullshit thats explained by the movie.
Welcome to every video on this channel. Dudes a moron

4:40 I'm pretty sure she was feeding the dog not an infant
While I agree that the opening seems a little bit "out of place" for a rom-com and I didn't particularly care for it, I still disagree with this video that it was "unnecessary" and just a "cliche".
Until, I saw this video and read the comments, I actually didn't think much of it. But when I did think more about it, I think of it as like an orange peel - it may not be what you want, but it serves a purpose and without it something would be lessened. And I don't think the person making this video thought about it too deeply.
1) If you look at it from the kids point of view, a lightning storm is scary so the tone would fit in with how those kids must be feeling. True it's not a "rom-com" feeling but it's more of a background set up thing.
2) For a couple of reasons, I find it funny that some white people get so "defensive" about the hotel manager being racist and accuse the film makers of a "cliche" and at the same time want non-white people to just "brush off that racist incident".
2a) The previous owner of the hotel was also white but didn't treat Michele Yeoh's character in a racist way. Maybe the previous owner is racist and hired that manager because they shared the same views, but we don't actually know enough about him to make that call. So judging the previous owner by his own behaviour, you can't accuse the film makers of portraying "every" white person as being racist. (Also none of the white students later in the movie were showing racist behaviours either.)
2b) The other reason I find it funny is that there are plenty of movies with white characters that aren't being portrayed as being racist. But how many movies are there where non-white people are not being portrayed by a stereotype. (Ok that is getting better now, but still...) It's ironic because in the past when there is only one Asian, Black or any other non-white character in a movie and they are being portrayed in a racist way, those same people would be quick to try to dismiss complaints about it.
2c) I also liked that some of the Asian characters were "jerks" - so not all of them are "perfect" and the decent ones balance out the "bad" ones and it's like "hey, what do you know, Asian people are just like other people as well - there's some good, some bad and a number of ones in between."
3) I think it also gives a glimpse of Michelle Yeoh's character's thought processes and why she doesn't like "foreigners". And how it reinforced to her how money can control things - that hotel manager treated her badly because he had "power" over her ... but after her husband bought the hotel, suddenly she has the power over the manager. If he wasn't racist and treated her decently, then he shouldn't be nervous/afraid when he learned that her husband had just bought the hotel. He wouldn't even let her use the phone and she had to go out in the rain to find a pay phone!
4) I also think this isn't just a "cliche" and it actually is an "interesting twist". A lot of movies take place in the US where non-white people are visible minorities. My parents immigrated here as kids so they basically mostly grew up in a "North American" culture and adopted to the culture here ... and yet they still faced racism just because of their skin colour and not how they acted.
What Rachel's mother said later in the movie resonated with me. When she told her that they saw her as a "banana" - because she was "yellow on the outside, but white on the inside" seemed "true" to me.
It's one thing to go to somewhere and be treated badly because you don't act like the majority of the people there do, but it's different when you are treated badly where you are some place where some "outsider" comes in and treats you badly. That is the case here - Hong Kong is composed mostly of Chinese people and the British are the minority there. But instead of trying to learn and understand the culture there and "fit in", they tried to push their own culture onto the people there. So that is why I think it's an interesting twist - because this isn't happening in a country that is predominantly white people. But the hotel manager, a white person goes to a country that isn't predominantly white and acts racist towards them because they aren't like him/white... and how many times have you seen that in a movie? Yeah, I guess it is a subtle difference that the person making the video didn't notice, but it is kind of slightly significant.
5) I will give the creator of this video some credit - if he wasn't so "flippant" about the opening scene, I might not have bothered to try to analyze the opening scene as much ... after all, I did go see the movie just because I heard that it was supposed to be a rom-com. (Actually the only reason why I'm even on here was because I was thinking about and wanted to see the wedding scene again and saw this link... otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered to comment about the movie.)
6) Oh, and I'm not going to go through all of the other "sins" but those "large subtitles" never bothered me - while my eyesight is fine, I do realize that for older people whose eyesight isn't as good that the larger font size for the titles might be helpful to them.
You said it! Everything I wanted to comment on and then some. But just one mistake, it was her bestie who referenced the banana not her mother. Unless her mother said so in another scene. An excuse to watch this movie again 😉 Thank you for taking the time to write ALL this. I definitely understand the opening scene now that you've explained. Enjoyed this movie, not all great moments but it was worth the watch. I'm definitely getting the book.✊🏾
Seriously, this is what I’ve been wanting to say, and this isn’t the first time people (not just white people, literally just people) have been triggered by the hotel scene. I ‘brush off’ so many racist incidents so often (some I’ve experienced myself, some I’ve observed) that now I just feel like I have to explain myself whenever someone blatantly assumes something about me based on my race or religion. Idk really, I can sympathize with both non-white people and white people now.

i love cinema sins but this video just brushed off racism as “not a big deal” and it made me really uncomfortable
It’s clearly just a joke, it’s not like they don’t care about racism, rather they don’t care too much to not make jokes about it.
Well, I think they could phrase it better but rather than "racism is not a big deal", I think he is "sinning" the racism bit because it is a bit on the nose. Like, how often do we come across people in the service industry that acts like that? It may be because I am a bit sheltered and live in big cities all my life (and I do understand that anti-Asian sentiment is a big problem at the moment) but when I come across racism in my life it is a lot more subtle than that. It is a full on character establishment trope and Tropes Are Not Bad per se, but this is Cinema Sins where they point out tropes and call them "sins" to make content.
Don't you goddamn dare call Harry Shum Jr. "discount Joseph Gordon Levitt"!
Timothy Peng Harry Shum Jr is a discount Joseph Gordon Levitt :)

I think it's great when you sin continuity errors (9:31).
It may not be as fun or entertaining as pointing out some other absurd stuff, but a sin is a sin.
There's no such thing as a "sin" in film-making and, definitely, a continuity error is nothing but normal.
999SickBoy666 if you don’t believe in sins why did you click on the video?
@@999SickBoy666 What do you mean? There def are sins in filmmaking. Cliches, poor editing, continuity errors, and bland/recycled main characters are huge sins that you want to avoid when making a movie, but some writers/directors are garbage abd don't care.
No Movie is without Sin
Back when CinemaSins sinned continuity errors.
The subplot with Astrid and Michael was, in my opinion, meant to parallel Nick and Rachel's relationship, and show how it can go wrong. Michael, like Rachel, had a successful career, but was still way less rich than his spouse and was disliked by his in-laws for it. But while Rachel faced the stigma from her in-laws and proved that she was good enough for Nick, no matter what other people said, Michael was unable to do that. Instead, he was haunted by those insecurities which eventually destroyed his marriage. Astrid and Michael's relationship was meant to show what would have happened if Rachel had married Nick when he proposed the first time. She wouldn't have had the support of Nick's family and would have spiraled into the same issues that Michael had.
Thank you CinemaSins for watching another movie so I don't have to

Sin away, Jeremy!!!
I had to shut it off after twenty minutes, I just couldn't handle it. Simply awful.
giving "sins" on an asian movie with western mindset. which is why this one strayed from the usual cinema sins. even asian socialites have cited that the movie is 80-ish accurate to their actual lifestyle.
You can tell he really loves this movie under his whole schtick and for that I appreciate you.
Also the reason they talk about Astrid so much is because she and her husband’s evolving relationship is the central plot line for the first book, and the Joseph Gordon Levite knockoff was supposed to be in more scenes before they cut him out, and had been confirmed for an even bigger role in the next one
the fact that no sins were takin off for the actual wedding scene?! hello the most beautiful cinematography ever

6:23 Sin 57 - Phones always make that shutter sound and usually in my experience it's annoyingly deep to turn it off because silent cameras lead to more upskirt shots. One of the reasons they make the sound in the first place is to let people know their picture is being taken.
@Elisa Castro no you seem to be missing my point and I might have flubbed my explanation.
In all but one of the phones I've owned and maybe two of the phones I've tested this one belonging to other people. You literally can't turn off the shutter sound. You can change it but you can't turn it off.
My point was that the shutter sound is "hardwired" into the phone camera software specifically because otherwise people can take up skirts or down blouse shots unawares. But since the shutter noise goes off all the time if you try to take a picture of someone without them knowing, they will hear the sound and the subject becomes aware a photo of them was taken.
I wonder about the prevalence of that, though. Every phone I have ever had always had the option to remove the shutter sound. That sound isn't there to prevent sneaky pictures (though it may do so), it is there because people like having a sound attached to actions. It's the same reason that pressing buttons are often accompanied by a tapping sound (that can also be turned off), because that audio confirmation that lines up with the action feels more natural to us.
@@SgtSupaman Nope, once you enter some countries in Asia the shutter sound is activated automatically and can not be turned off for the whole duration of the stay. This is the case in S. Korea and Japan, and maybe some other countries as far as I recall. Phones bought in Europe, the US and other countries that don't have this requirement can have their shutter sound turned off in countries that allow it - but phones bought on Asian grounds always have the shutter sound on, no matter what, even if you're in an European country, for example.
@@SgtSupaman Yep in Japan there is no way to turn off the shutter sound and it is kind of loud. The reason is exactly what the other person said. It is to prevent upskirt photos which was a huge issue. I've been to Japan several times and people were surprised that my camera didn't make a sound when I took photos. The lock is based on where you purchase the phone. So that is why my phone didn't make a sound in Japan.
@@SgtSupaman In Korea, phones don't have the ability to turn off the shutter sound when taking photos because of the upskirt photos problem.
Movie tries to make points about prejudices based on ethnic stereotypes.
Then follows with a series of ethnic stereotypes.
And that is what we love about CinemasSins
Was that really the point of the movie though?? The bigger point was probably about how movie about a love story with an all-Asian cast could do as well as one with white people. It was relatable for Asians, but that's not because it was stereotyping them. Embracing and celebrating a culture for what it is is different from making offensive jokes about how Asians can't drive.
