    The deceased teacher Jiang Jing showed it to us at the time. There are too many things to talk about, feudal China, the awakening of free will, the communication between cultures, four stories told in one breath, strung together very carefully, jumping back and forth in flashbacks, really powerful script . But this actor is too sensational, he speaks Mandarin so funny and very...

    It is rare that a film that explores the conscious and mother-daughter relationship of women in the Chinese world, especially the proposition of mother-daughter relationship, has been missing from Chinese-language films for a long time. There are many flaws in the film, such as the Mandarin of the young Chinese actors, which is very creepy, but it is definitely worth watching. It is especially suitable for mother and daughter to watch together. After watching, hug and cry, it has a healing...

    "You don't know, you don't know the power you have over me." Daughter to mother//The (Chinese) mother-daughter relationship is so well written, not only (typically eastern) hoping for a son to become a dragon, or (after the western style) Modern) I wish she was happy, and also dealt with the tangled heredity of character (the devotion-type swallowing personality), the spiritual strength in the blood (the mother who committed suicide for her daughter). The ending sucks and...

    It is understandable that this work became popular in the American Empire back then. The original author, Amy Tan, is a second-generation immigrant of Chinese descent. The stories she wrote about the mother’s generation probably originated from the elders’ descriptions of old China. The West's curious imagination of China; and the story of the daughter's generation is based on her personal experience and what she saw and heard when she was growing...

    This is a group portrait of women, reflecting the changes of Chinese society and national character from the fate of four pairs of mother and daughter. But I have to say that although director Wang Ying is of Chinese descent, the things he shoots are completely for Westerners. Much of what is known about China's old society is limited to superficial and general knowledge, which of course may be attributed to Amy Tan, the original author of the novel. Wang Ying's control over the subject matter...

    At that time, when I was reading the novel, I wanted to cry, but it turned out to be exactly the same when watching the movie. The adaptation is very good, Yu Feihong, Wu Junmei and Zhou Caiqin act very well. This well-shot remark is very resonant, not only between first-generation immigrant mothers and daughters. On the one hand, it is true that both parents are a disaster (the movie is downplayed from the original), on the other hand, it is true that "mother never gives up the hopes for her...

    The female emotions in it have a strong sense of substitution, but the Chinese people in it are very plastic, and their accents in Chinese are also very inconsistent. The structure is actually quite loose, and they take turns to speak on the stage to explain their inner world, and the sense of film is very weak. I understand a little bit that Chen Danqing said he doesn't like watching movies about overseas Chinese life, there are too many stereotypes and imaginary...

    ①The film tells about the twists and turns in the lives of four women who immigrated to the United States on the eve of the Great Revolution, as well as the separation and conflict between them and their American-born daughters ②Women living in the old era have been arranged with their destiny since childhood, and their pain or happiness depends entirely on them ③History will not repeat, but it will rhyme, mothers who were born in Chinese society still use their own life experience to guide the...

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • Ying Ying: Losing him does not matter. It is you who will be found - and cherished.

  • An-Mei: It was an old tradition. Only the most dutiful of daughters would put her own flesh in a soup to save her mother's life. My mother did this with her whole heart even though my grandmother had disowned her. This is how a daughter honors her mother. The pain of the flesh is nothing. The pain you must forget. This is the most important sacrifice a daughter can make for her mother.
