Trailer for the 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Aug 27, 2018 5:03 PM UTC  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Aug 27, 2018 5:03 PM UTC While [Chrissy Teigen](http://time.com/5312445/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-donate-to-aclu-for-donald-trump-birthday/) is well-known for her sassy and [honest humor on social media](http://time.com/5318564/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-arthur-meme-trolling/), the model and cookbook author kept the same candor while opening up about the emotional moments she had while watching [_Crazy Rich Asians_](http://time.com/5378619/crazy-rich-asians-box-office/)with her family. Teigen took to her Instagram on Sunday to share the touching moment she had while watching the hit romantic comedy with daughter Luna and [husband John Legend](http://time.com/5233865/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-relationship-timeline/), detailing how important it was for not only her, but her daughter to see characters that looked like them on-screen. In her caption, Teigen, who wrote of her “Asian American upbringing,” elaborated on why the film meant so much to her. “You never know how much you miss being represented on screen until you actually see what it’s like to be represented,” Teigen wrote. “And represented by all different types of characters with all different types of personalities, just like any other great movie.” See Teigen’s full post below. ## Transcript March, we've been dating for over a year now, and I think it's about time people met my beautiful girlfriend. What about us taking an adventure East? Like Queens? Singapore, Collin's wedding, don't you want to meet my family? I hardly know anything about them. Every time I bring them up, he changes the subject. Maybe his parents are poor and he has to send them money. They'll take our bags and get you checked into first class. We can't afford this. So your family is rich? We're comfortable. That is exactly what a super rich person would say. [ MUSIC ] 1. 2 million. [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] The Nick you're dating Danny is Nick Young. Yeah, you guys know them or something? Hells, yeah, they're just the biggest developers in all of Singapore. Damn, Rachel, it's like the Asian bachelor. These people aren't just rich. They're crazy rich. You really should have told me that you're the Prince William of Asia. That's ridiculous. I'm much more of a Harry. [ LAUGH ] Mom, this is Rachel Chu. She just thinks you're some unrefined banana. No, no, no. Those are for your fingers. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside. I chose to raise a family For me it was a privilege, but for you yu may think it's old fashion. Don't you want Nick to be happy? I know you're not what Nick needs. She's like trying to play a game of chicken woth me thinking Im gonna swove like a chicken. But you can't swove, you're gonna roll up and be like Buff buff ****. > Okay maybe like not as good as [ MUSIC ] I met a girl I fell in love and I wanna marry her. You're Nicholas Young and you're untouchable. But Rachel's not. Have you prepped Rachel to face the rules? You know I'm back, like I never left. I really admire you. It takes guts, coming all the way over here, facing Nick's family. I know this much. You will never be enough. [ SOUND ] You know, it's about time someone stood up to Auntie Elena. Well you, not me. God, she can't know I was ever here. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] Ever sInce I could remember my family has been my whole life. Rachel. Rachel. If Nick chose me he would lose his family and if he chose his family He might spend the rest of his life resenting you. You nasty, you kinda nasty, you got nastier.
