a symbol

I saw this movie in high school and was very impressed, especially when lena's mom went to her house and said the whole house was tilted like their love. When I watched the movie again later, I didn't seem to find such lines.

I read the book a while ago, so the movie has a more charismatic feel to it, it's the kind of orange I remember from a stove in a dark room. And this book, narrated by Amy Tan in that slow language, coupled with the love between mother and daughter, makes people feel even more warm. So I plan to watch the movie again.

Of course, the second time was not as exciting as the first time. I just feel that under the lens of Wang Ying, and in the context of the United States, it seems that "China" has completely become a symbol. It seems that in all the English-speaking films that reflect the Chinese people, the customs of China seem to have been reduced to some red, or the framework of music like the dancing of golden snakes, presumably to make those who have a cultural relationship with us. A world apart American's introduction to traditional Chinese culture. But from our point of view, it is a bit sad.

As far as the joy luck club is concerned, this movie seems to be more for Americans (of course, this is a successful Hollywood Chinese movie). In the book, June also says, The Joy Luck Club, was named simply, by her mom. A lot of Americans, including us when we see a group of moms like this, think: those moms are crazy. Yes, it's this special It is difficult to understand mothers who are under the environment and special treatment, because we are now more or less influenced by American culture, all the respect and honor in Chinese culture have been fought by the equality and autonomy of the United States. . However, whether it is a book or a movie, starting from june's slow tone, I will tell you that this is not a fast food. You must experience it carefully to know that Chinese culture is not represented by such colors and music. And it's so complex that it can only be shown in this form. It seems contradictory, but it doesn't seem sad anymore.

    The clash of cultures is reflected in the lives of four mother-daughter pairs in the film, who love each other deeply, in their own way, unaware that sometimes this love will hurt each other.

    At that time, when I was reading the novel, I wanted to cry, but it turned out to be exactly the same when watching the movie. The adaptation is very good, Yu Feihong, Wu Junmei and Zhou Caiqin act very well. This well-shot remark is very resonant, not only between first-generation immigrant mothers and daughters. On the one hand, it is true that both parents are a disaster (the movie is downplayed from the original), on the other hand, it is true that "mother never gives up the hopes for her daughter."

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • Ying Ying: All around this house I see the signs. My daughter looks but she does not see. This is a house that will break into pieces. It's not too late. All my pains, my regrets, I will gather them together. My daughter will hear me calling, even though I've said no words. She will climb the stairs to find me. She will be scared because at first her eyes will see nothing. She will feel in her heart this place where she hides her fears. She will know I am waiting like a tiger in the trees, now ready to leap out and cut her spirit loose.

  • Ying Ying: Losing him does not matter. It is you who will be found - and cherished.
