"Crazy Asian Rich Man" skillfully uses the cast of the all-China class, which is a natural topic in Hollywood movies. Because it is not common for Americans to shoot Asian stories, the differences from different cultural backgrounds have greatly attracted the audience.
But as it turns out, the cultural breakthrough of the film didn't hit the point, and it was still looking at the eastern culture from the standpoint of westerners. To put it bluntly, the artistic expression of the whole film is not transparent enough, or even neither fish nor fowl.
meaning
The film Crazy Asian Rich is adapted from the global bestseller Crazy Asian Rich by a Singaporean writer. However, after the second adaptation in Hollywood, the film presents a westernized oriental civilization, and family consciousness, food tradition and social etiquette all have the shadow of foreign culture. It is not a pure oriental expression, but more about telling Asian stories based on white people's thinking.
The core character in the original book is the heroine Rachel, but the core of the story in the film is the Yang family. In the movie, Cinderella stepped into the rich family. Because of the natural class gap between the two families, she was rejected by her boyfriend's family, even vilified and humiliated. But the power of love kept her from giving up Nicholas. Rachel chose to face up to her doubts and constantly solve difficulties, and finally conquered her unruly mother-in-law and won the recognition of her boyfriend's family.
