Crazy Rich Asians is a story that follows the main character, Rachel Chu. Rachel is a professor at NYU, who lives a normal middle-class life. Rachel’s boyfriend, Nick, is from Singapore and is invited to go back to Singapore to attend his best friend’s wedding along with Rachel. What Rachel doesn’t know is that Nick belongs to one of the wealthiest families in Singapore. When they arrive, Rachel is submerged in a life of luxury and elegance. Rachel has to fight the expectations of high society and the judgments of Nick’s family, especially his mother, Eleanor, who does not approve of Rachel and Nick’s relationship. As the movie goes on, we can explore the expectations of high society and the pressure that is put on different people. We can even see Rachel creating her own insecurities based on society’s standards and questioning her position in her boyfriend’s life. Rachel, as an outsider, faces judgment because of her background as a Chinese-American who is not as connected with her culture. As a woman, we can see Rachel is considered an unfit woman for the luxury life and unable to meet expectations, while Nick, as a man, gets to live life as a wealthy, successful man free of judgment. This movie can help us understand the pressure society puts on us. We can analyze more deeply the double standards we are expected to meet as a part of society. We can understand the importance of being ourselves and finding out who we are, so when we are faced with the occasion of someone having high standards, we won’t be affected by it or have thoughts that may create insecurities.
