2022-01-16 08:02
Four pairs of mothers and daughters in the United States often open "The Joy Luck Club" together. They are Wu Suyuan, Gong Linda, Yingying, Xu Anmei from China and their daughters who were born and raised in the United States: Wu Meili, Violi, Lina, and Lu Silk. Among them, the four mothers are all "American mothers", all "immigrant mothers" from China to the United States, and all have "legendary" experiences in China. Wu Suyuan left China and fled to the United States during the Civil War. On the way, she lost a pair of beloved daughters, and she and her current husband have a young daughter, Wu Jingjing; Xu Anmei fled to the United States after witnessing her mother's suicide, and now has daughter Ruth; Gong Linda since She was sold to the Huang family as a child's daughter-in-law, and later unbearably tolerated the Huang family's abuse and fled the Huang family and went to the United States. Now she has a daughter, Violi. The daughters, due to the influence of subjective and objective factors such as themselves, mother, and social environment, they consciously or unconsciously identify with American culture, but they also have their own pains. Finally, Wu Meimei came to China to find her two half-sisters in place of her dead mother. With the encouragement of her mother, Lina finally divorced her husband and reorganized the family. Ruth rose up to resist but saved her marriage.

    The expression of the film is more of a drama, but the content is good, and the director is not a woman. But it can tell the life of a Chinese woman and the relationship between her daughter and her mother so well. Four lines and four generations of women almost contain all kinds of hardships that women have encountered in their lives.

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • June's Father: She thought: better not die next to my babies. Nobody saves babies with such bad luck. Who wants two babies with ghost mother following them? Very bad luck, very.

  • Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: [opening naration] The old woman remembered a swan she had bought many years ago in Shanghai for a foolish sum. "This bird", boasted the market vendor, "was once a duck that stretched its neck in hopes of becoming a goose. And now look, it is too beautiful to eat!" Then the woman and the swan sailed across an ocean many thousands of lei wide, stretching their necks toward America. On her journey, she cooed to the swan, "In America, I will have a daughter just like me. But over there, nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husbands belch. Over there, nobody will look down on her because I will make her speak only perfect American English. And over there, she will always be too full to swallow any sorrow. She will know my meaning because I will give her this swan, a creature that became more than what was hoped for." But when she arrived in the new country the immigration officials pulled the swan away from her, leaving the woman fluttering her arms and with only one swan feather for a memory. For a long time now, the women had wanted to give her daughter the single swan feather and tell her; "This feather may look worthless, but it comes from afar and carries with it all my good intentions."
