reputation was a beautiful album and I love it and I listen it to it ALL THE TIME and I can’t even deal with knowing that Taylor thought it wasn’t good enough, fuck all those award shows that aren’t FAN voted. reputation was beautiful. It showed me parts of myself that I was trying to ignore and told me to face them head on and to become stronger. And then Lover. SERIOUSLY. Lover has put me back together and let me open my heart to even the idea of Love, when before I avoided it at all costs. Taylor Swift is literally growing, breaking, healing, teaching, and loving ALL OF us and I just I need her to know that her music has done that for me since I was 14 and I LOVE HER SO MUCH

“This is the big reveal that’s mirrored in the game of mahjong. Rachel draws a tile in mahjong. It’s a set-building game; it’s very much like poker, so you can draw a card that gives you the win. So Rachel draws the win, but instead of winning, she lets Eleanor have [the winning tile], and so that mirrors the dialogue because what she tells Eleanor in that moment is, ‘Your son has proposed to me, but because I don’t want him to lose his relationship with his mother, I am going to say no and in the future, when he marries someone you think is appropriate, you’re going to remember that that’s because of me.” ~ Bourree Lam, journalist

Crazy Rich Asians (2018), dir. Jon M. Chu

It’s better than that. She’s a game theory expert, and knows better than to play a lose/lose hand. She explicitly says that to her students in the opening scene of the movie. This is Rachel using her professional expertise in her personal life, and turning a lose/lose situation into a win/win by not playing a game based on fear. It’s paying off the very first thing we ever learned about her as the climax of the story.

The script for Crazy Rich Asians has the kind of scriptwriting tightness only the very best romcoms have, like Top Hat, How to Steal a Million, and While You Were Sleeping. Except it understands racism and misogyny better than those films do, for obvious reasons, so it juggles even more balls, with even more skill.

It’s really well written, and should be taught at film school, stat.
