Five Asian-American Movies That Exist
<p>In an ideal world, I wouldn’t give a shit about <em>Crazy Rich Asians</em>. I’d be hazily drifting through post-collegiate underemployment, rereading Murakami novels and halfheartedly attempting to quit drinking coffee, until around noon when I get a headache and make myself three cups and stay up till two in the morning reading Wikipedia articles about ethnic cleansing.</p>
<p>But alas, I am an Asian-American with free time and an internet connection and Hollywood hasn’t made a movie with an all-Asian cast since <em>The Joy Luck Club </em>25 years ago, so I’ve spent the past week or so reading about <em>Crazy Rich Asians </em>and<em> </em>watching it with my mom, who hated it and said it was 荒诞, which <a href="https://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/en/%E8%8D%92%E8%AF%9E" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Google Translate</a> tells me means “absurd” or “fantastical.”</p>
