Crazy Rich Asians: the first all-Asian Hollywood film in 25 years.
Based on Kevin Kwan’s 2013 best-selling novel, the movie Crazy Rich Asians (1) _____ its inspiration from the writer’s elite upbringing in Singapore: his grandfather helped invent Chinese cure-all Tiger Balm, and as a kid Kevin bred exotic fish that now sell for up to $300,000 each. It is a story about a romantic relationship between two New York University professors. After dating for two years, Nick Young (Henry Golding) (2) _____ Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) to his native Singapore to meet his family. Once there, Rachel (3) _____ that Nick is the highly sought-after heir to an enormous fortune, and any prospect of a future with Rachel in it sparks jealousy, sabotage and bullying. The “crazy” wealth of Nick’s family is on an extreme scale: cruise ships with multiple pools, climate-controlled closets, and more private planes than cars. But the film’s exotic flowers and million-dollar gems have been eclipsed by a far weightier conversation. There is a lack of major Hollywood roles available to Asian-American actors. They are given less than 5% of speaking parts: either because the roles haven’t been written, or they are marginal.
