The fate of mother and daughter can only share half of each other's life Joy Luck Club 8/21/2020
Add this review. After several months, the impression has faded.
It seems that I have heard about this movie for a long time, and I hope to find time to read the book this year. The film is interspersed with the stories of several acquainted Chinese women in the United States and their daughters, who are relatively independent but superficially related to each other. At the end of the film, the youngest daughter and her half-sister meet in the crowd. Blood is thicker than water, which is touching.
The story of the daughter's generation told in the movie can be related more, and the estrangement and the two generations of mothers who experienced the difficulties and setbacks of the first-generation immigrants in the United States, and who are good for their daughters and want to retain the authority and pride of being a parent. The conflict is understandable, but the mothers' experiences in "Old China" before they crossed the ocean are more difficult to relate. After all, it's too long ago, basically when my grandmothers were young, that kind of China was already a big deal to me. very unfamiliar.
The delicate feelings between Asian women and mothers and daughters portrayed in the film are very real. They are harsh, cruel, and pay attention to the fact that superiors and subordinates cannot be "big or small". These do not blend in with other American environments experienced by children and appear not close. On the human side, there is also the mother's love and support when the little daughters inevitably encounter setbacks. When I was growing up, I also experienced all these incomprehensions, hatreds, and wanting to break free - fulfilling my wish, getting freedom, moving abroad after college, and in my tenth year this year - and then I realized that it seems that I really don't want to go back, Auntie It has been lost forever, the mother on the other end of the phone is really aging, and I have reached the age where I need to face up to whether I want to bring the next generation of children. The "young woman holding a goose" wandered in that time and space, trying to take root in a new continent in order to escape the suffering in history. The fate of mother and daughter can only share half of each other's life. When the fate is exhausted, and the remaining goose feather is held in the hands of the little daughter who has not experienced the baptism of life, can she understand? Where does this story start?
