As a woman, I have always been interested in the subject of female consciousness. The film "The Joy Luck Club" explores the evolution of women's consciousness through four pairs of mother-daughter relationships, depicting the status of women's weak, and women's constant struggle for change. The women of old China and the women of the new era in the United States have stretched for more than half a century, or even nearly a century. Women are constantly looking for their place, from the oppressed and bullied old China, to the fact that women can participate in social affairs and men. The United States, which sits on an equal footing and is known as the most democratic and open in the world, can be said to be two heavens. This movie gives us the best stage to show the changing status of women and the evolution of personality and destiny. Have women found their true selves? From the appearance, the daughters no longer have the oppression of the patriarchy and husband power that mothers have to endure, but spiritually, women themselves are not far away from the restraints of themselves. From the blood relationship, from the slowly traced history, what the mothers hope is that their tragedies will not repeat themselves, but those traumas have penetrated into their bones. In the education of their daughters, they will treat those who are too high. Expectations, the over-sensitivity and self-esteem of the oppressed are all weighing on their daughters, and as a result, it creates a deep gap between mother and daughter, and her daughter’s incomplete personality. Aunt Lin Duo, played by Zhou Caiqin, is a bright, cheerful and straightforward mother. She escaped from an arranged marriage on her own since she was a child. After arriving in the United States, she placed high expectations on her daughter. Her daughter has a talent for playing chess and won the championship. After the photo was on the cover of the magazine, the excited mother took the child all the way to boast. The child didn’t like it, so the mother looked at each other coldly. When the child asked her for forgiveness and wanted to continue playing chess, she said, thinking It's not that simple to go down. This angry sentence dampens her daughter's self-confidence. From then on, she feels that the talent is far away from her, and the mother who has never won again, refuses to bow her head, destroys the child's confidence. Women’s resistance is reflected in this level of the family. Daughters are used as carriers. The result is trauma to their daughter’s growth. Not only will they fail to succeed, but women will further harm women. The goal is too clear to educate themselves. To impose on the daughter is a powerful force imposed on another independent soul. It deprives the soul of the independence of the education and cannot achieve its own goals. However, it creates a deep generation gap between the mother and daughter. The hearts of the daughters are in Distorted under deformed education and become spiritually weak, this is the harm of women to women. The mentally weak are the real weak. Looking back at the time when the mother was facing the oppression of the institutional society, they fought with their own ingenuity and successfully escaped from there and found freedom for themselves, while they were in their daughters The wounds caused in her heart made her daughters unable to find themselves. As a result, all four daughters took a detour, or their marriage was unfortunate, or they lost their goals in life. The reason they became "incomplete" people is because their personality is incomplete, distorted, and they have been living for others, or For the mother, or for the husband, but never thought of living according to their true wishes. The mothers later realized this kind of injury. Because of the high expectations or the impact of their own incomplete personality on their daughters, they reached out to their daughters and encouraged them. The daughter of an aunt, played by Lu Yan, won the love of a boy with a prominent family in the school, but after marriage, she gave up her studies and focused on her husband and family. Everything proceeded from the husband’s request until she lost her. Feelings, to get divorced, in the end, with the encouragement of her mother, she didn’t want to be her husband anymore, she told her true thoughts. Her cute self-consciousness helped her husband rediscover her, and they reconciled. Up. Another aunt’s daughter wants to live a strict AA life with her husband. This life is eroding her daughter’s dignity. The mother thinks of her own life, and Xunhuawen Liu’s husband scolds a bitch. The injury caused her to accidentally drown herself. Her child’s wounds never healed all her life. The mother told her daughter that you are worthy of being respected. After leaving him, her daughter found someone who cherished her and gained happiness. The relationship between mother and daughter is both contradictory and harmonious. In childhood, the high demands caused harm to the daughters. After adulthood, the mother used her life experience to unlock her daughter's happiness, help them to know themselves, understand themselves, and build confidence. Women and women eventually no longer oppose each other, but become partners. This is a good way to get rid of the status of the weak. Women should know how to respect themselves. Mothers tell their daughters this truth. Self-respect and self-love, and then you can love and be loved. If the status of the weak is set for themselves in advance, then they will not be able to get rid of it, and women’s struggle must first start with recognizing their own value. Realize that you are not weak, but equal. Only with such a healthy mentality can women be truly liberated. Compared with the pine nuts in "The Life of the Disgusted Pine Nuts", they have never lived for themselves in their entire lives. They are all for men, fathers or lovers. They even do not hesitate to behave themselves, make faces, be abused, and have no self-esteem. In other words, such a defeated female consciousness is inferior to the "Joy Luck Club" more than ten years ago, and it is also inexplicably acclaimed as a "god". "The Joy Luck Club" explores the evolution and struggle of female consciousness, and women discover their own value and stand up to live for themselves. The significance is not only for women, but for everybody.
