There’s something endlessly rewatchable about this movie.
In the mahjong scene, Rachel actually lost, but she did so intentionally. You'll see that she was holding the one piece (basically symbolizing Nick) that she could have won with, but then gave it to Eleanor to let her win instead with the complete set (get her son back and be a happy family again), and that their conversation was essentially a verbal representation of the game they were playing. Also, I found it interesting that Rachel mentioned in her class that in poker people don't always bet to win, but are betting not to lose. In this case, Rachel was not betting to win against Eleanor, she was betting not to lose to Eleanor for losing her son.
Can we just talk how perfect Gemma Chan is as Astrid? Most people say that Michelle Yeoh was the best part of the movie which I can agree, she stole the show by A LOT but Chan's appearance really stole my heart. She captured Astrid's humility and kind heart so perfect even just for one minute in her introduction. Chan is exactly the Astrid I remember from the books, no one can play it better than her
Fun fact: The emerald ring is actually part of Michelle Yeoh’s own personal collection. The film had gotten a different ring to be used, but she didn’t think it was the right ring for the film. She later came back with one of her own, and it was used in the film.
Fun Fact: Coldplay was initially refused for the "Yellow" song to be used and covered for the movie. Until the filmmaker, Jon Chu sent a letter to Coldplay and explain that the word "Yellow" have a negative connotation for him and Asian people, until Jon Chu listen to the song and falling in love with the song. Finally Coldplay give the permission.
I've seen this movie quite a few times now, but I just realized Astrid was wearing blue and white, which Rachel's mom said was for Chinese funerals, while they buried the fish at the bachelorette party. What a fun detail. Edit: Not a fun detail for the fish.
Fun fact: Kris Aquino is the actress who plays Princess Intan. She is a very famous tv host and actress in the Philippines. Her father was a senator and was assassinated during the Marcos regime in the Philippines. Her father’s death catapulted her mother into politics and was voted as the first female president in the Philippines. She’s from a long line of Filipino politicians that dates back to the Philippines Revolution.
Fun Fact : Multiple studios had a bidding war on the book's rights with Netflix being so close to getting it, offering an artistic freedom, a greenlighted trilogy, and a huge, seven-figure-minimum paydays for each stakeholder, upfront. But at the end, the book author, Kevin Kwan and the film's director, Jon M. Chu selected Warner Bros. for the cultural impact of a wide theatrical release. Which makes me happy to hear because romcoms at the time of this release weren't really that huge in theaters so it was a breath of fresh air to see audience supporting this movie in theaters and put romcom in a good way again
"There are children starving in America." I can't believe I forgot that line. Too true and too funny. Lmao
