It's a film worth a 10/10

I would say that the rate here is definitely under appreciated.

It's a super captivating, moving and sincere movie. It is truly a masterpiece at portraying the intergenerational and intercultural conflict. But at the same time, the movie also resonates with many universal emotions and dreams.

The stories are quite relateble. I cried several times while watching this movie cause the issues are just so real for me. My favorite part is when Rose waking up, finding her value and shouting out in the rain. The journey for one to truly value himself/herself is always hard.

I would HIGHLY recommend this movie to any girl who asking for movie recommendations!

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.
