I haven&#8217;t read any think pieces on\u00a0Crazy Rich Asians yet. I promised myself that I would resist temptation. Quell the urge to click through headlines and instead, show solidarity by double-tapping posts and scrolling on. The goal, however naive\u2014purist, even\u2014was to walk into the theater without outside opinion informing mine. I didn&#8217;t even know that this could happen. That I&#8217;d been waiting all my life for something so monumental. All I did know was that it was imperative to buy an advanced ticket before opening weekend. I pre-ordered one (for Thursday, yesterday) with just an inkling of the storyline\u00a0(gathered only from promo pics and the few chapters I was able to finish in anticipation). And while it&#8217;s easy to write this off as blind support for the sake of, well, blind support, this simple act isn&#8217;t the same as voting for Candidate X of Party Y just because she&#8217;s a woman from Party Y. Buying a ticket meant that I would count, and that hopefully,\u00a0Crazy Rich Asians would count, too. That we\u2014spoiler alert!\u00a0I&#8217;m a second-gen Taiwanese-American\u2014have been waiting 25 years to see Asians who weren&#8217;t reincarnated of this\u00a0portrayal&hellip;","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/crazy-rich-asians-movie-book-review.gif"}
