female awakening

The Joy Luck Club is really, really good. I feel that I have a thorough grasp of some elements of our traditional culture, and discuss this very sharp question: Integrating into another culture

. About the cultural conflicts faced by a group of Chinese-Americans in the early last century and the encounters and conflicts branded by an era. legend. When a group of women tried to integrate into American society, they encountered different problems; it was also a group of Chinese women's rethinking and awakening of obedience and individual consciousness, thinking about their life experiences. I think it is also a must-see for feminism.

Among this group of women, some people are willing to obey and assist their American husband, but the husband wants her to have his own opinions and quarrel with him. , resist marriage with wit; some people separate accounts from their husbands for all the details of their lives, every one, as small as an ice cream - what is their marriage, and what else is there in their marriage; They can escape the fate of being betrayed by their husbands; some people are expelled from big families and parted with their biological daughters.

The two little girls in the unforgettable film carry all the expectations of the two mothers - even if the mother argues that it is hope rather than expectation, I think this argument is ultimately weak. The two children became the target of the comparison between the two mothers, and the two children became the capital for their respective mothers to show off. A girl plays the piano, a girl plays chess, and they all end up being forced into disinterest. The last child said something: Since you are promoting the magazine with my photo on the cover, why don't you learn chess yourself? I especially liked the two girls part, maybe because of the sympathy aroused in the crowd of my life? Maybe it's because I've been feeling the generation gap so strongly lately—even though my dear parents didn't force me to be anything—even though I didn't.

Every woman in the film has an unfortunate past, the misfortune brought by the feudal family, the misfortune brought about by survival in the gap between Eastern and Western cultures, the misfortune brought about by gender inequality, and so on. Some of them stopped fighting—or some of them didn't know the concept of "resistance" at all; some of them had been fighting silently, but the results were not the same. different roads.

    "All of us are like stairs, one step after another, going up and down, but all going the same way." "Everytime u hoped for something I couldn't deliver, it hurt. It hurt me, Mommy. And no matter what u hope for, I'll never be more than what I am. And u never see that, what I really am.」

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • June's Father: She thought: better not die next to my babies. Nobody saves babies with such bad luck. Who wants two babies with ghost mother following them? Very bad luck, very.

  • Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: [opening naration] The old woman remembered a swan she had bought many years ago in Shanghai for a foolish sum. "This bird", boasted the market vendor, "was once a duck that stretched its neck in hopes of becoming a goose. And now look, it is too beautiful to eat!" Then the woman and the swan sailed across an ocean many thousands of lei wide, stretching their necks toward America. On her journey, she cooed to the swan, "In America, I will have a daughter just like me. But over there, nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husbands belch. Over there, nobody will look down on her because I will make her speak only perfect American English. And over there, she will always be too full to swallow any sorrow. She will know my meaning because I will give her this swan, a creature that became more than what was hoped for." But when she arrived in the new country the immigration officials pulled the swan away from her, leaving the woman fluttering her arms and with only one swan feather for a memory. For a long time now, the women had wanted to give her daughter the single swan feather and tell her; "This feather may look worthless, but it comes from afar and carries with it all my good intentions."
