PowerHouseCreatives Contest | My Movie Review Selection is LOVE !!

Thanks to @zord189, here I am once again with yet another submission for the @powerhousecreatives contest and it's Movie Review week. Any movie between 2013 to 2018. Now, how difficult could this be.. More like how difficult could it be to select a movie that I enjoy so much that I would critic it over and over again.

And my Movie Review selection goes to Crazy Rich Asians !

This movie plot is based upon the novel written by Kevin Kwan with 2 more other books by him called China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems. I think he's fame when sky high when the movie was announced to the world. An American 2018 movie staring top movie celebrities such as Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Dato Michelle Yeoh. The plot is all about an American-Chinese professor who travels to meet her boyfriend's family and is overly surprised to discover they are among the richest aristocrat in Singapore.

Before I start being a critic about this movie, you need to know that this film received numerous nominations from the 76th Golden Globe Awards, 24th Critics' Choice Awards and 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards. That's how popular this film was and not only in the American and British but most importantly in the Asia Pacific.

Being a citizen of the SEA countries, I had so much pride and honour to know that my country was apart of the destinations for the filming. The directors show the beauty of the places such as Penang, Langkawi & Kuala Lumpur in this film. Of course the highlight had to be in Singapore, showcasing the magnificently tall Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and even Newton Circus Food Court.

There's so many things that I enjoyed about the movie.

i) The multiple languages used in the movie
This shows that in this small country called Singapore and it's surrounding neighboring countries like Malaysia, multiple languages are used and there are mixtures of food and culture. Also proves to say that people are able to live peacefully although they come from different religions or beliefs.

ii) Beauty of the scenery
Just love where the entire movie was made. Both internal and external locations are picked well to suit the expectations of the story line. Especially when the location of Penang Street and Baba Nyonya Mansion House was featured. I just feel so patriotic !

iii) The selection of actors & actresses
Love them all especially Dato Michelle Yeoh. They couldn't have found a better image of a Women Tyrant for this role. Not that she is in person but her capability to portray the role is just amazing! Just as how she acted as Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese politician, diplomat, author, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate in the movie The Lady.

iv) We all love stories of handsome rich man falling for a mediocre girl

Sweeping her off the feet with First Class service from New York to Singapore
Staying in 5* Luxury Hotel
Asking for her hand in marriage in an economy class plane with everyone watching!

Alright, I'm a sucker for romance but it's because the story line is just so beautiful.
And YES ! I even bought the book so that I could read it on my own.
Not only that, I even brought Part Two of the Book.

Reality check.. Both books are still lying on the TV cabinet and I stare at it every night when I'm watching TV.. Telling myself that I'll read it tomorrow or the day after.
And yet, it's still lying there as it was from the first day I move into my home!

Perhaps, after this post, I shall finally take it out and read.. at least a few pages if not more :)
