Crazy Rich Asians, and Crazy Classes

The movie "Crazy Rich Asians" Directed by Jon M. Chu, is a movie about Rachel Chu, who is the daughter of a Chinese immigrant, who is dating Nick Young who, to her knowledge, is just as normal as her. On the flight to Singapore to meet Nicks parents, Rachel finds out that Nick isn't very normal at all. She finds out that his family is treated like Royalty in Singapore. Although the movie can be seen as just a simple romantic comedy movie, there is another, deeper meaning behind the film.

The movie can be identified as satire because of how it criticizes the different social and economic statuses. The movie starts with Rachel and Nick on a date with Rachel not really knowing much about Nicks family. Later in the movie when Rachel gets the chance to meet his family, she ends up trying really hard to get them to like her, because its Nicks family, as well as the fact that they are treated like royalty.
The movie is satire because although it doesn't seem like it, it criticizes the social classes, primarily the higher social class, for being too pretentious and unfair to the lower classes. The movie portrays the higher class as having huge pointless parties, having people doing pointless things for you, and buying useless items while also making it seem like they have more culture than the lower class. Later in the movie, the lower class is portrayed when Rachel is talking with Nicks mom after she exposed her for being the lowest of low classes because of Rachels moms story, which she didn't even know the details about. While talking/playing a classic Chinese game with Nicks mom, Rachel is able to show her that she was wrong about her.
