So many grotesque people.


I wonder if Singapore is really filled with so many disgusting people as all this movie portrays. It seems to be as if these Singaporeans are desperately seeking identity while being soaked in the wealth, toys, system and culture of the west. Perhaps that is the point of the movie which makes them so crazy and disgusting.

Stop wondering and get your ass on a plane.

75% of the supporting cast was despicable I agree, but that's everywhere dude. Here in America, we put them in the White House. :)

2020 sure proved that!

Money and wealth corrupt. The Rachel character and her Mom are the working class heroes of this film. The rich Singaporeans are decadent, petty, bitter, and/or crazy villains.

I doubt I'd like the filthy rich bastards of any other country much more th jan I like those fictional people.

reply

Yet they aren't working class. They are normal middle class leaning towards the upper middle. I guess most rich are decadent, petty, bitter and crazy villains.

Rachel is a college professor and her mom a realtor. That is not working class!

reply

Ah, you haven't see what a college professor makes these days. Blue collar workers make much more money (of course, they're doing something useful, so it makes sense they'd get paid more).

Almost all of the women in this movie were indeed one-dimensional, and inexplicably carried themselves like hoity-toity prostitutes.

reply

Women? The men were absolutely messed up too. But it has become socially acceptable and politically correct for men to behave so badly so they aren't held to as high a standard as women.

I wanted so much for somebody to punch Eddie. His wife came close a couple of times. If I was Michael I would have taken him aside and told him of he disrespects me again with that "Toy soldier" crap I will rearrange his face.

It is true 2/3 of the characters seem to have an agenda that is not very nice. Very few of the characters are well rounded at all. Just gold diggers, users and jerks.

Amanda is a waste of time because she has no chance with Nick. Breaking up Nick and Rachel will still do her no good.
