al-jazeera those are the headlines in the meantime the strain as the next thanks for your time. unless we have new generations growing up to understand that all the nations that ship with another. soon there will be nothing left and will suffer primatologist conservationist dr jane goodall told to al-jazeera. hi i'm sorry i can't. today crazy rich asians is the first major hollywood film with an all ages old callused in twenty five years now does this make it a watershed moment for representation to get your thoughts all call made it out alive you can chat and back not to be in the street. march we've been dating for

over a year now and i think it's time that my beautiful girlfriend. about us take another country. like queen singapore collins what do you want to see my family i hardly going to think about them every time i bring them up to meet his parents as well and he has to send them money think about it think that texans are first. all right so your families are comfortable that is exactly what a super rich person would. crazy rich asians tells the fictional story of rachel chu a native new yorker who flies to singapore to meet her boyfriend's family and the reason doesn't exactly go smoothly and the film is being lauded by some as an important moment for representation because it tackles the complexities of what it means to be asian american but some critics point out it shines a spotlight on asian american weapons while ignoring asian groups and joining us to

discuss this is brad jenkins he's the executive producer at funny or die in los angeles the way she's a sociologist and author of real inequality hollywood actors and racism and in new york kimberly yom she's the asian voices editor for the huffington post so welcome everyone to this stream i want to start on my laptop with a tweet because of course this is a conversation that is going viral online e.-v. here. i find homes which is romantic comedies cheesy but i watch crazy went to asians to support an all asian cast and for the first five minutes i bawled nothing to do with the storyline it was just seeing asians portrayed in so many different ways other than kong flu fighter or tech girl with dyed hair sidekick brad this person cried for the first five minutes i will full disclosure i cried several times during the. first five minutes i will say but this clearly spoke to

be can you relate to that i kind of you know one of these guys who actually likes some like the one guy in the audience of nothing but women so i can relate. and i felt the same way there was something. really touching about seeing your face up on screen but in so many different ways not just the one stock character the one goofy nerd it's everything it's the leading man and it's the bad boy it's the hot leading it's the villain everyone was. asian and it took twenty five years for this to happen. it was a special moment and it was interesting bawling again i want to plug my man card here i found myself crying a few times in this film and i think that it speaks about it speaks to a hunger for us to see ourselves reflected and i think that's why you're seeing it feel like a movement as opposed to just some movie scene once you spent a lot of time looking at representation in hollywood particularly the lack of

representation so when you see a film like this do incredibly well what's the backstory what is it telling us about where hollywood is right now and where that isn't the representation of asian americans for instance you know so historically asian americans have been under represented and yet asian americans are some of the highest internet streaming service users they also have been going to movies at higher rates than their population and so it's kind of crazy that hollywood hasn't capitalized on this and also the you know their interest in the asian market and asian americans are certainly really trying to to be able to bridge that to asia and be america and so i think that the success of this film allows for a whole new generation of asian american actors to then get roles to be able to

launch their careers which does happen with your look like twenty five years ago we still see the daughters in playing big roles in hollywood like me and so i think that that's why this movie the success of this movie is so significant. kimberly to kimberly let me just show you a model who can be if you're on twitter you will know who clearly is kimberly i am we just go down here i just want to amaze people with what a tweet can do tweets right here under twenty two thousand re tweets three hundred eighty five thousand likes and it goes on and i don't know why because completion stories like this one where nine years old you attend ballet cab someone tells you that another girl hates you she thinks your eyes are an ugly shape you don't have the vocabulary to describe why that's a hurtful but now you hate your distinctly asian face you don't want to be chinese anymore so many people around the world said yes that's me too i understand i get that a new wrote that after seeing

a wrong com. you know blaine. i think you know kind of going back to what brad brought up before when you know our faces our stories are so absent from the landscape and suddenly you see it up there and you see you know not it's not just one asian token asian character there's a diversity of personalities there's a diversity of types of asians i mean it's much more true to what we see in the real world we're not all these nerdy sidekick whatevers we're a lot of different personalities and so seeing that kind of for the first time on screen was a very emotional thing for me and i think when we talk about representation there's this whole other side to it which is a little bit neglected which is you know why it actually matters and you know we say that representation matters but there are real world consequences and so you know for me and this is really the true story about the tweets is you know

the reason why the whole thing was so. you know impact hole was because if you don't grow up with these stories and you're only references to your own race are these kind of racist incidents then then you do end up being kind of a self-hatred for your culture and i think that's a lot of the reason why it went viral is because a lot of people can relate to that. so we can claim that it's important for self it's important for self representation but also what kimberly tweeted all these people making fun of her they're not seeing any asian americans or asian faces in positive roles right so crazy which shows so many different kinds of beautiful asian men so many different kinds of beautiful women in there in a variety of roles that aren't stereo typical that also has an impact on how others see us you know we can't talk about this movie without talking about the criticism

of who exactly was represented some may see this movie as a love letter to singapore and that is what justin says in this week here i've been to singapore around national days several years ago and while it is see no centric it's not an excuse for this film to ignore the presence of the country's other groups this is the same reason why minorities in the u.s. are upset about the lack of representation so we have a piece here from someone who sent us a video comment the title is crazy rich asians is not a radical win for representation i was born in singapore and currently lives in australia and this is what she talks about on the limits of representation. when we're talking about asians it's a movie. that one that mocked itself as a great moment a representation of us from right now do something it is not just a one time to begin with and this movie creates chinese people of singapore minorities in singapore on to represent them very well very much and in this movie

we are seen in service positions to the chinese eat a thing of the opening got some of them and this is a problem clinching that this movie is selling itself. when i see it what i see is all of the people who have been dismissed in singapore to begin with and now these movies doing so on a global is the and it's not representation it's not representation for everyone the idea is still the same it's not representing all show. yeah i mean look we are i think take a step back i think we all agree we're in the ice age of american representation is taking us twenty five years to get to this point. this movie was based on a book it was based on a story and you're not going to represent every culture every asian american group in one story. we wish that we could i think as storytellers include everyone but this was set in a very specific family in

a very specific time and unfortunately i think it's actually a good thing i'll take it that i think it's a good thing that even with an incredible representative film like this that we can still be critical that we can still not be one hundred percent satisfied there were characters in the film that didn't have lines there are races in the film that were not included. but it's our first film right and so. i think as the director john and the screenwriter adele they talk a little bit about this being the opening of the door the opening of the door for other stories and other representations to be told so it's not going to be perfect not. everyone is going to be represented. but it's a start i like i said it's our film you all knew all of that even now it's in your film you have ownership you've seen it many times you've seen this film i've seen three or four times now right now you can see the director.

well i have to say that the first time i saw the film i had all these critiques in my head and i did notice exactly what that about tweeter are about that video said seek guards being the only dark skin and then there are like i think it was kind of scared of and i immediately cringed i thought oh my god this is this should be like because you know this is exactly what we're afraid of and i remember talking whispering it to people who have other isms here and when you think about it you think that was racist and and people did it and yet we still supported the film so i think it's ok to feel mixed you know to feel all sorts of feelings right you're feeling joy you're feeling you're feeling sadness you're also feeling maybe. not being able to tell all the stories and especially being insensitive to some groups and i think i think it's it's really healthy to be able to have all these conversations so that we can finally actually say what how do we want ourselves to

be represented and in defense of the director there the guards the gurka guards were in the book and in fact there and stations and notes about the guards and provided history of why they wore what they wore and so you can include all of that context in a film. there are a lot of things that made in the film there are a lot of things that were inserted in the film to sort of embellish and flush out characters so you know would it have been better if they just kept those characters out entirely maybe it's a choice that you sort of have to make but i think that again the larger issue here i think is it's. such a huge moment for asians to have this film for it to be so successful and i think the fact that we're hungry for more is good i think that hopefully it inspires young south asians to write their own stories and get their movies made so i think that you know again this is it's the ice age. we're getting there are they going to

we're not going to get there you know in one movie or a bit later what i mean is that.
