The movie "The Joy Luck Club" is a superb work written by Chinese-American writer Amy Tan and directed by Chinese-American director Wang Ying. The actors' wonderful performances, scene changes, theme expression, plot design, etc. are all very exquisite. ,Recommended.
The "Joy Luck Club" is a weekly gathering of four women who immigrated to the United States and their families for mahjong, meals, and exchanges. Judging from their dress, manners, and home decorations, they should have entered or are about to enter the United States. In the middle class, others are envious, and they are very satisfied, and everything is very warm. Although the film does not show the struggles of the four women in the United States, they are able to get to this point, and they cannot help but think deeply: if there is no external environment and factors such as independence, equality, rule of law, diversity, friendship, tolerance, etc., their American A dream is probably always a dream.
The four women and their daughters are lucky, thousands of times more fortunate than their mother or grandmother. If they hadn't left the old China to go to the United States, I'm afraid that what awaited them would not be the middle class, but death. The four women have their own misfortunes: one was forced to be separated from his twin daughters during the war, and was burdened with emotional debts like Mount Tai in his life; ; A husband who dedicated his youth to his husband but was scolded by him as a "bitter" all day long; a daughter who became a fourth concubine and suffered countless scorns and insults.
I haven't been to the United States, and I haven't experienced their independence, democracy, equality, freedom, love, etc., so I can't compare the new China with it. But I still have an indirect understanding of the social phenomenon of "man cannibalism" in old China, especially the women of old China, who were not alone at all, even worse than some things. "The Joy Luck Club" better expresses the tragic fate of women in old China who are inferior to things, life is inferior to death, and the happy life that American society brings to them.
