The Joy Luck Club, 1 point, well, besides "The Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", there is another film that makes people uncomfortable to watch. I thought it was a film similar to a folk culture and historical article, but it didn't work. I think it is the pity and obscenity that Western values ​​have for the East. Simply put, it is the East that was pieced together by the second generation of Chinese Americans from the words of the previous generation, combined with their own life trajectories. Chinese customs and culture, see The disgusting sentiments like "mainlanders can't afford tea eggs" are either pretentious or contrived. They smell like Chinese mothers in foreign daughters, or Chinese in the eyes of ghosts. It is better to say that imagined Chinese culture is Regarding the malicious speculation of the Chinese, the American emperors would like to see it anyway, women also like to see themselves oppressed, and the Chinese people are more willing to express how difficult the road they have experienced to succeed, it’s good, fuck you, get rid of these, just from the narrative skills It doesn't look good from the top, the preaching is serious, the narrative is monotonous and boring, the memories are all in the same direction, and the unfolding is like repeated reading, and the narrative can't recognize who is who. Almost every character is annoying, or the annoying kind of annoying. The movie is really awesome at this level. Chinese mothers persecute their children, Chinese families are bullying their daughters-in-law, and Chinese children are eager to be themselves. If I get stuck, I can go to yours. As a film that purely caters to Americanization, I estimate that it will be such an audience trend. Americans think the Chinese are stupid after watching it, and the Chinese think the director is stupid after watching it. The generation of Chinese people think, oh, this is China, this is what I have said, it's good, the Chinese people's little knowledge is more terrible than the ghosts who don't understand at all
