Before Crazy Rich Asians or Always be my Maybe, there was The Joy Luck Club in 1993. Not many mainstream American movies before it and for a long time afterward had a majority Asian American cast. Some Asian Americans really disliked the movie after it came out, but recently it seems to have had a revival, with the 25th anniversary of its release being celebrated at 2019 CAAMfest. In addition, Gold House is sponsoring online discussion with author Amy Tan and the cast of the movie at 6 PM Pacific Time on June 9th, 2020. To RSVP, go to Gold House’s Event Facebook page.
Gold House, from their web site:
Gold House is a nonprofit collective of diverse leaders dedicated to forging stronger relationships that empower Asians to have more authentic, more successful, and healthier lives to, in turn, advance all of society.
You might know them from their Gold Open efforts to make sure that Asian American movies like Crazy Rich Asians and Searching have strong openings.
