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 of this type of Chinese and foreign cultural conflict is obviously not as good as that of Ang Lee. As far as this film is concerned, it is too sensational. The performances of the older generation of actors are also significantly better than those of the younger generation of women, and the narration of the four stories is blunt. Of course Westerners might like to watch it because they don't know anything about China.

As an immigrant film, The Joy Luck Club omits the difficulties encountered by Chinese Americans. More focus is placed on the fetters of two generations of women, and each pair of mother and daughter is used as a parallel relationship to let the story tell the story. This multi-line narrative is handled a bit monotonously by the director, and the techniques are similar. The characters in the film are plump, the mother came from a decayed and outdated society, and the daughter grew up under the influence of her mother. The two complement each other, conflict and reconciliation. Although this is a female-themed film, in a patriarchal society, men feel everywhere, even if they don't appear on camera much. PS: Some of the lines sound a little lumpy, and if the actor who plays the Chinese character speaks more fluent Mandarin, it may be more involved. (3/5)
