As the first Hollywood studio film in twenty-five years to feature an all-Asian cast since The Joy Luck Club, Jon M. Chiu's Crazy Rich Asians exceeded expectations, broke box office records, and quickly greenlit both a sequel and several film and TV projects involving Asian Americans. The large crowds of Asian Americans that bought out entire theaters and posted selfies also marked the film as a seminal cultural moment for a community that has long felt invisible, on and off screen. At the same time, the film's representation of privileged Asian life--portrayed by a diasporic Asian cast--has sparked a flurry of think-pieces, social media debates, and dinner table conversations about the burdens and blemishes of the film's representation. What do Terps have to say about the celebrations, critiques, and issues generated by Crazy Rich Asians? Hear an all-Asian American panel comprised of a professor, staff member, graduate student, and undergraduate student address this question and more--and add your voice to the conversation. Moderated by Dr. Terry K Park. Co-sponsored by the Asian American Studies Program and the Asian American Student Union.Please RSVP here.
