a symbol

I saw this movie in high school and was very impressed, especially when lena's mom went to her house and said the whole house was tilted like their love. When I watched the movie again later, I didn't seem to find such lines.

I read the book a while ago, so the movie has a more charismatic feel to it, it's the kind of orange I remember from a stove in a dark room. And this book, narrated by Amy Tan in that slow language, coupled with the love between mother and daughter, makes people feel even more warm. So I plan to watch the movie again.

Of course, the second time was not as exciting as the first time. I just feel that under the lens of Wang Ying, and in the context of the United States, it seems that "China" has completely become a symbol. It seems that in all the English-speaking films that reflect the Chinese people, the customs of China seem to have been reduced to some red, or the framework of music like the dancing of golden snakes, presumably to make those who have a cultural relationship with us. A world apart American's introduction to traditional Chinese culture. But from our point of view, it is a bit sad.

As far as the joy luck club is concerned, this movie seems to be more for Americans (of course, this is a successful Hollywood Chinese movie). In the book, June also says, The Joy Luck Club, was named simply, by her mom. A lot of Americans, including us when we see a group of moms like this, think: those moms are crazy. Yes, it's this special It is difficult to understand mothers who are under the environment and special treatment, because we are now more or less influenced by American culture, all the respect and honor in Chinese culture have been fought by the equality and autonomy of the United States. . However, whether it is a book or a movie, starting from june's slow tone, I will tell you that this is not a fast food. You must experience it carefully to know that Chinese culture is not represented by such colors and music. And it's so complex that it can only be shown in this form. It seems contradictory, but it doesn't seem sad anymore.

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."
