How can you copy the original work like this? Those shallow guesses about the lives of the previous generation can obviously be revised better. The old drama bones maintain their own style, and it is difficult to integrate with this drama. The family-based cultural conflict is the most difficult to film. After watching several films, I feel that it is blunt and incoherent, just like Chinese mothers and ABC daughters have difficulty...

It is obviously not enough to tell the story of four families and three generations in less than two and a half hours, and the switching between parts is not smooth enough. But just for the part shown in the film, it has been done well. Aunt Portman praised the soundtrack, it was a pity to miss "Mulan" because of her...

The hodgepodge has brought out all the typical characteristics of the Chinese people for a walk. Good and evil blend together, black and...

Finally watched this long-heard film, one can imagine its significance in 1993. The idea and script structure of the intergenerational group portrait of Chinese women are very good, but why is it like a large public service advertisement? Probably due to the old Chinese plot in the narration, influenced by the exaggeration of art, awkward lines, and exaggerated interpretation, it could not get rid of the taste of orientalism, and it had a strong sense of missionary intention (even if the real...

As an immigrant film, The Joy Luck Club omits the difficulties encountered by Chinese Americans. More focus is placed on the fetters of two generations of women, and each pair of mother and daughter is used as a parallel relationship to let the story tell the story. This multi-line narrative is handled a bit monotonously by the director, and the techniques are similar. The characters in the film are plump, the mother came from a decayed and outdated society, and the daughter grew up under the...

Wuxu. Love for a mother is somewhat idealized and overly glorified. To be honest, a story of goose feathers can offset a mother who bullied her daughter and everyone said, "maybe she was born this way"? The mother is so dissatisfied with her daughter that she has no courage to do anything. Is it just wishful thinking that the mother has passed on her love, so she can change the fact into love? no. The harm of the family is the harm. The mother's inability to do anything about her own life, the...

The real gentle and strong female power, the sharp and powerful cultural differences and generation gaps without the blade, Li An is too cowardly in comparison. The Joy Luck Club is full of top, real Chinese beauties, old and young. I watched it a long time ago, and I have forgotten it. Yesterday, I replayed it on TV and found out that Zhao Jialing's husband in the play is actually the purest male youth idol Andrew McCarthy in my mind. He has always been so...

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...

A large collection of powerful female stars, the stories of several generations of women are unfolded in a calm narrative, joys and sorrows are all strength, some stories and some feelings seem to be comprehended and understood only by the blood of the East. It's a pity that the transitions and transitions between the stories are a bit...

It feels very contrived and twisted. Watching these Chinese people speak English with a straight face is really alienating. The conflict between Chinese family ethics and Western freedom and independence, coupled with the legend of the author's grandma's young grandmother, completes the lyrical feminist epic to complete the identity positioning puzzle of Chinese women who have been struggling for many years. Simply put, it's...
