The Chinese translation of the title is really funny and
makes people think it's a comedy.
I read part of it in a college class, and when I saw the reprint on Weibo, I started looking for him to read it again.

Slow shots, slow stories, but the mother-daughter friendship leaps onto the screen. I seem to feel the material scarcity of that era again. The movie is very real. Every shot has its meaning and can evoke people's memories. The film does not focus on the differences between China and the United States, but an expression of mother-daughter bond, a growing awareness of women's rights. The previous story really makes people want to fuck it! We will see the influence of the conservative, feudal and backward thinking of people under the old system on people, and see patriarchy. What we will see later is that women also have the right to love, they also have their value, and they also have to believe in themselves. worth, have the power to believe yourself and insist on it!

above all, family love is still great, mother-daughter friendship is also great, know what you want, and fight for it! and I believe it, we all will make it!

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • Rose: You're not taking my house, you're not taking my daughter, you're not taking any part of me, because you don't know who I am. I died sixty years ago. I ate opium and I died for my daughter's sake. Now get out of my house!

  • Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: I'm just sorry that you got stuck with such a loser, that I've always been so disappointing.

    Suyuan: What you mean disappoint? Piano?

    Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: Everything: my grades, my job, not getting married, everything you expected of me.

    Suyuan: Not expect anything! Never expect! Only hope! Only hoping best for you. That's not wrong, to hope.

    Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: No? Well, it hurts, because every time you hoped for something I couldn't deliver, it hurt. It hurt me, Mommy. And no matter what you hope for, I'll never be more than what I am. And you never see that, what I really am.
