It won’t be long until the highly anticipated movie “Crazy Rich Asians” will hit theaters. The film, based on the popular novel of the same name by Kevin Kwan, has generated widespread excitement, particularly among Asian Americans.
The movie follows the life of down-to-earth Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), who travels to Singapore with her long-time boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding) for a wedding, only to discover that Nick is like the “Prince Harry of Asia” hailing from one of Asia’s wealthiest families.
It’s the first Hollywood film in 25 years that feature Asian Americans in leading roles and has an all-Asian cast with actors from around the world. While the film is reminiscent of a typical “Meet the Parents” rom-com, “Crazy Rich Asians” shows Asians in a refreshing light.
