See her again in the light and shadow

"The Joy Luck Club", I once saw an excerpt from it in my intensive textbook when I went to college. A year ago, in the classic English book of Guotu, I read the first chapter of this novel again. It was also a year ago that someone recommended Amy Tan’s work for me. But unfortunately, I haven't watched the whole picture until my friend recommended this movie, and until last night I spent nearly four hours watching this old Hollywood movie.

It's not a long time since I shed tears because of a movie. In the past, when I was still writing a blog, I always said to the kid who loves to watch movies and write film reviews, you are just looking for an illusion. Watching movies is just looking for another self. Perhaps, in the light and shadow, there is that little coveted extraordinary you, perhaps, in the light and shadow, you have seen the dream that you have been pursuing in your childhood; or, in the light and shadow, there is nostalgia for you that has never been noticed. What you are looking for in the light and shadow is what you are looking for in this world. They are beyond your reach in this world. Deep in your heart, hidden in a green grassland, with the first touch of your life, they are the softest and most inhumane. It belongs to me completely.

Have been watching a movie. Either because life is so boring or because I am really too tired and don't want to push myself into the blind corner of words, combing my own logic and thoughts over and over again. However, there are fewer and fewer movies that can resonate.

Watching old movies is another expression of my nostalgia? But, you have to believe that I am writing this, not a film review, but suddenly sent it with feelings. It turns out that I can still feel the visual impact of some words.

Aunt Anmei asked her daughter who is about to divorce, how much can you share?

The daughter answered her, what are you talking about?

Anmei told her that I was discussing your value.

value? The remote pain in my heart was awakened by the moment.

An Mei told her mother's story to her daughter, telling her that you are like my mother. You didn't know your value until the moment she died, but it was too late.

When An Mei’s mother died lying in tears on the gorgeous but icy bed, she whispered to An Mei, I would rather wash away my cowardice with my own death in exchange for the strength of my daughter. After her death, An Meishu yelled. Sixty years later, An Mei's daughter was in the rain and finally learned how to roar, and finally dared to boldly say to the man she loves, get out of my house.

"I once said that my love is nothing but yours is precious. That's nonsense. I am no different from you. You can't take anything from me, whether it's a house or a daughter..."

Those roars , Shaking in my heart.

"My love is no different from your love. Really, I have never valued myself, kept paying silently and enduring silently, and then I hope that one day you can see all this and buy a gift for you, just like saying, I'm sorry , Please accept. You can't see other people's giving and love. It's not your fault. It's that I have always taken myself too seriously." The

ignorant and unknown girl interprets her grievances and sadness in the movie. Maybe, I haven't yelled yet, just like now, I always have to use other people's words to interpret my own value. When others say that I can't, I really become conscientious, like a frightened bird. To please others' love by ignoring my own feelings, what do I get today, respect or sincerity? Is there any? I should be torturing myself instead of always asking, why can’t others see my true heart?

People are spoiled children. If you don't say it, who will understand that you also have feelings? Who would believe that this child will also be sad, and those sharp words will hurt her. If you don't try, how can you know that you must not be able to do it? Who said that self-confidence should be given by others?

A girl who is ignorant and unknown, you have to learn to be strong, just like the girl who likes glass beads, distinguish between true and false, and, for this world, you must give out your own roar at the right time, because you have been silent for too long.

  • 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.
