Love this description. We heart the Daniels!

So true 🥲❤️

Wah, as a Chinese living now in Netherlands, I feel so happy that this movie resonate with not just Chinese community

@TravelerPat I think this is partially what Stephanie was trying to get at- because of the homogeneity of the people who had a platform to tell stories, it was easy for people like me (the child of Asian immigrants) with a difference experience attribute my experience to being "othered." But as people who look like me get to tell their stories and hear that people from _all_ walks of life relate to those stories, it breaks down the race-based barriers & prejudgments we've developed. Lol- I've definitely used the parents from Everybody Loves Raymond to describe my parents' marriage, but I couldn't relate to their dynamic with Raymond.

@TravelerPat Clearly, you have a lot of opinions about this movie, but overall, you seem to be missing a simple point. Asians ARE different, yet we are the same. So what do you propose? No Asian representation in mainstream entertainment? Sure, this movie could have been about a white family...as SO many other movies are. The fact that it wasn't, is part of what is remarkable here. Your own sensitivities and insecurities may be blinding you to this. I'm not a psychologist, so I may be wrong, but after reading all that you wrote, and having grown up here in southern California, watching television and movies since the mid-70s, as an Asian-American, I can tell you that WE NEED more Joy Luck Clubs, Crazy Rich Asians and Everything Everywhere All At Onces. CHANGE can only happen when there IS change. To your point about reinforcing stereotypes...This happens organically and naturally within our OWN cultures! The fact that Evelyn says "Your getting fat" is a cultural stereotype because there is truth, but not only in Asian cultures. Read the other comments here. Part of what makes this movie resonate with so many, is it goes beyond Asian culture, which Michelle Yeoh states, and she's right! There situations and dynamics which this movie addresses that go beyond Asian culture that are cross-cultural and more universal. I can think of one situation that I thought of while watching the movie and asked "laundromat...ok, that's stereotypical. I know many situations where a family of one ethnicity runs a business not typically associated with their ethnic group. For example, if the family business was a bakery, car wash, or something that wasn't so historically stereotypical as a Chinese family owning a restaurant or laundromat....but anyway, again, that's missing the big-picture, main point I stated above. Anyway, just thought I'd respond and share my perspective.

I just thought that it would've been interesting also, if the family business was a BAGLE shop! 😂

Yes. Why representation matters!

And being a great story WHILE AND (partly) BECAUSE it‘s an asian, immigrant and queer story.

Yes she is a bonafied star!

Having watched the movie just two days ago and several interviews with the actor, I believe that his pure and intentional demeanor is genuine and natural. He exudes extreme gratitude, having endured a long period of rejection and thirst. His authenticity and sincerity are remarkable and inspiring. I sincerely hope that his career continues to flourish, and that he remains true to his character. I have a strong feeling that his essence will persevere, and that he will continue to impress audiences with his authenticity and talent.
