This is a film studies course analyzing the box office hit Crazy Rich Asians, a film which has received its fair share of both praise and criticism. Expanding on the existent popular critique of the film for its focus on a wealthy minority of East Asians that directs attention away from the plight of Asian minorities and those in poverty, this class will explore the cultural norms implicitly and explicitly endorsed by the film. The main question this class will attempt to answer is whether the film supports and/or promotes an ideal of upper class morality within East Asian communities, not only in itself failing to represent poor Asian communities but also generating a cultural attachment and valorization of the idea of being like a crazy rich Asian. We will attempt to do so by looking at specific scenes from the movie, surveying the field of responses people have about the film, talking through anecdotal experiences, and using theoretical lenses to package all of this qualitative data.
