The Joy Luck Club movie plot

2022-01-16 08:02
Four pairs of mothers and daughters in the United States often open "The Joy Luck Club" together. They are Wu Suyuan, Gong Linda, Yingying, Xu Anmei from China and their daughters who were born and raised in the United States: Wu Meili, Violi, Lina, and Lu Silk. Among them, the four mothers are all "American mothers", all "immigrant mothers" from China to the United States, and all have "legendary" experiences in China. Wu Suyuan left China and fled to the United States during the Civil War. On the way, she lost a pair of beloved daughters, and she and her current husband have a young daughter, Wu Jingjing; Xu Anmei fled to the United States after witnessing her mother's suicide, and now has daughter Ruth; Gong Linda since She was sold to the Huang family as a child's daughter-in-law, and later unbearably tolerated the Huang family's abuse and fled the Huang family and went to the United States. Now she has a daughter, Violi. The daughters, due to the influence of subjective and objective factors such as themselves, mother, and social environment, they consciously or unconsciously identify with American culture, but they also have their own pains. Finally, Wu Meimei came to China to find her two half-sisters in place of her dead mother. With the encouragement of her mother, Lina finally divorced her husband and reorganized the family. Ruth rose up to resist but saved her marriage.

    There are so many things in this movie that it is impossible to finish it in a few words. The gap between mother and daughter is a topic, women’s attitude towards affairs is a topic, and tradition and modernity are also topics. But I still feel that it has a negative impact on "China". All four mothers have had tragic experiences, such as those unique to "China", affecting their lives and four daughters. The resilience of a person can be humble or humble.

    Listening to ABC and reciting Chinese lines is really terrible, but the most terrible thing is the extreme obsession with the East. Every woman in Amy Tan's works is destined and inherited, and everyone is a product of an unfortunate system. Abandoning these cultural conflicts, I feel that the whole movie is quite good-looking. It is a female drama with four sets of stories and eight protagonists in N time and space, but I can't help but make up for the reaction of the face blindness when watching this film, haha

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."
