Its a battle of chinese and american culture and beliefs, thats all there is to it. Nick's mother has done nothing wrong. She was only out to protect nick's future. She wanted the best for nick. Rachel on the other hand has an american mindset where one is free to choose anything that will bring her happiness. So its a clash of culture. Neither is wrong nor right. Situations like this is typical when a chinese or korean or japanese wants to marry someone who is not the same nationality as them. Hence, the hokkien phrase Kai Ki Lang, marry our own to preserve the culture and traditions.

In the opening sequence, rachel didnt stand up when michelle yeoh's character walked in. Showed rachel as a true ABC, ignorant of asian tradition. No matter how angry you are with a person but if that person who is a senior to you, you must stand up. That is negative reflection on rachel's character

This movie to me she was doomed from the start, she only had Astrid and a handful that liked her. She never asked for the wealth, she just wanted a holiday but it was basically a nightmare imo. To me it gets to such point,normally there’s no chance of a relationship especially when she was betrayed being spied upon on her background.

This scene is so powerful. I love it. Walking away when yo have the upper hang, what one chooses to do. gosh. Beautiful!

Ok but like what about the other 2 poor ladies who just wanted to go, loosen up and play their favorite game only to be forced to listen to this dramatic conversation

One day I found a beautiful Mahjong set in the trash, looks complete, no idea how to play it.

Gosh… this scene is powerful!

Mumsy muyht is a hump wanka Mike hunt!

Where is the sequel?! Hollywood execs have left money on the table.

I'm just here to read the moves and hands exposed by Eleanor and Rachel. Rachel's lesson to Eleanor well explained through her experience.

To love is to sacrifice

Rachel's mom giving that look and her and Rachel holding hand while walking away is powerful. Rachel showed and proved to Eleanor that this is what she's lacking and will continue to lack if she continues down this path.

Just watched a video on how to play mojong. I understood everything. She needed the 8 to win but threw it away. Crazy

Constance Wu is not pretty enough to play that character.

Nhạc này hay nè 👻🌀

Chết mẹ rồi, vai này đâu phải tao đâu

Low class immigrant nobody lol. That’s how every single Chinese in Singapore started off not too long ago. What’s this dumb story on about

Chinese do not value education as much as youth, beauty and the right background in potential brides. That's why successful, educated women over 30 are called "left over" and not chosen in favour of younger women.

I just love Constance Wu’s wonderful acting in this key scene. And also, I like that the movie bravely featured Mahjong, knowing that an American viewership would have to understand its profound significance in the scene. But God bless you sister Wu. Xièxiè!

"you're a foreigner".... As her Chinese son has an English accent. Lmao

Powerful scene

My mom, who loved the book adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians, was very disappointed with this movie for the film's take on the book, but she did really loved Michelle Yeoh though.

And then imagine one of those partially deaf ladies looks at Eleanor and says "asshole"

To all the Western girls that end up falling for an Eastern man, we know that you are a unique girl exceptional to be honest, but back home there is a woman waiting for that boy child, having that man in her life may have been one and only reward for her existence because she gave birth to a male child. Please don't break Eastern homes for your maddening love. You can have another man after divorce or breakup but his mother won't find another son. Love to you for being so amazing, honest, unique and exceptional, that boy child is a reward, prize for an Easterner mother generally,her only reward and a very big one! . A humble request from an Easterner here..

I imagine if Nick due to his maddening love for Rachel could have one day schemed to kill (aka remove her family) Rachel's family - which was just one person - her mother. Which he didn't do proving he could have changed stands easily. Families in general don't support love relationships specially in Eastern cultures. I think what Rachel did was good. I don't recall the end (watched in 2022 on Amazon Prime) but in the scene she said she made her decision and left him for his family. She didn't want him to lose his mother once more. That was sentimental. Mothers are generally very close to their boy kid in eastern cultures. Nick was one such boy for sure..Also,a girlfriend or lover or wife can be replaced- there is always another one after divorce or breakup, but a mother can't be replaced

I think I like women like Rachel who with their education & money they earn or own, know they have a choice - choice to stick to a Nick, sick, rick or even lick someone (if she wanted to). I liked her character a lot as well as Nick's mother. She was doing what was done to her and she was taught well. I like that actress. Nick was good as well.❤❤

Just look at her mom's staring eyes. Daamnnn good!

❤

The silent understanding between the mothers at the end. “How dare you treat my child as anything less than she is.” ❤️

And then the poor, raised by a single mother, low class immigrant nobody turned out to be richer than Nick. HAHAHA

My aunt Cindy dressed like Eleanor and had the badass attitude. Miss her greatly!

this doesn't happen in irl lol

They could've made Rachel's hand reveal just a BIT more dramatic if she had West instead of North winds - 4:11 XD Also, Rachel draws her own winning tile before passing it to Eleanor. In mahjong that's called "zi mo", which yields a bonus for winning on your own. That may be a reference to her and her mom's self-made immigrant journey.

Rachel's mom pure gangsta.

A good way to visualise the game's outcome with a comparison is in a game of chess. You have a mate in 1, but you move your piece such that you force the opponent to checkmate yourself and lose the game. Your opponent won knowing you gave him the win, and they had no other options other than to win the game. This is without the symbolism behind the mahjong pieces, rules and even directions.

Best movie ever I see it 30 times 🎉❤❤❤

I'm Confused a bit what did Rachel mean when she said I know Nick told you the truth about my mom so did Nick already did a background check on her? And also does that mean Nick knew the whole time and didn't say anything to Rachel?

this scene is so well done. I mean, every frame, dialogue has all these cultural references that is just amazing.

This scene is just amazing overall, but that last bit where Rachel's mom looks at Eleanor and doesn't even speak, finally had me in tears. The pride in her eyes. Her victory over Elanor in that moment. She told her, silently, "this is the woman i raised. Me, a poor immigrant, unmarried, whatever you want to call me. Look at the person I MADE. Smart, kind, caring, not in it for money. The best your son will ever get." She said so much with just that look.

The glare from Rachel’s mom says everything. A true lioness.

wait ..it ENDS like that???? F THAT ALL TO HELL :(

that look from Rachel’s mom 🤯 everythinggggg

I love how those 2 aunties sitting down with them gave judgemental stares to Eleanor when Rachel was about to leave the table, they'd be like "ouuh bitch, you really messed up everything". They might be deaf and spoken Hokien, but their stares said everything.

It took me forever to understand the climax of this movie, and even though I don't know how to play Mahjong I totally get this now: Rachel had nothing! In wealth and in the game. And I just realized that this was a call back to the first scene in the movie where she was playing poker with TA Curtis and she had nothing then too! OMG I'm so smart lol!!

Both women are immaculate here. And lady Yeoh especially nuanced. No matter how many times I watch, waterworks. Masterclass.

I love how Rachel's mom was just like "next time i see you, b*tch, its on sight" 😂 without even saying a word

Her mom looks like a gem

She won mahjong game

I have no idea how to play that game, what happened?
