Yassssss #Repost @bingchen ・・・ Director @jonmchu said that Crazy Rich Asians is “more than just a movie—it’s a movement.” Many have posted about seeing the objectively historic film on August 15—a vital step for a people that have inherited stereotypes of docility. But posting is not enough. Saying you’ll show up is not enough. Talk is cheap—and incumbent systems only listen when you speak their language. This is a movement—but every movement needs its mafia. And we know that the old systems only speak Green. That's why 100+ of the nation’s creatives, founders, leaders and their organizations have rallied to buy out theatres to help secure a $20million+ opening. Some call it #GoldOpen. It rides on the strength of analogous movements like #BlackOutFriday that never rapped on unanswered doors; they built their own houses. So that the next time a moment arrives (on August 18th with @jennyhan and @lanacondor’s @toalltheboysnetflix; on August 24th with @aneeshchaganty and @johnthecho’s @searchingmovie; and every Wednesday at 4pm for @berniesu’s @Twitch show, @artificialnext) we show up again and again. Moments become movements because a dedicated few know that the only way to see the future is to wield it. We can swear we’ll show on August 15, or reserve our seats now. Because our reservations in this film—quite literally—will impact us for years to come. Also, it’s just super dope that so many Crazy Rich Asians IRL have banded together. #goldopen #crazyrichasiansIRL
