The Joy Luck Club

The original intention of "The Joy Luck Club" was directed at Yu Feihong. I accidentally read the "Thirteen Invitations" that interviewed Yu Feihong. "Thirteen Invitations" can be regarded as a relatively unpopular talk show, but there are still many controversies about it. Various opinions collided with it and I did not give it an untimely and highly consumer character similar to "embarrassing public knowledge". There may be unknowingly improper considerations, but without the editing, it is still a rare clear stream. The program interface is a bit old, but life, simple and real. The moment Yu Feihong appeared in the camera stunned me for an instant. An extremely intellectual, orderly and charming woman, with a sense of calmness and depth washed by years, what she said was about mediocrity, character, beauty and despair. You can inadvertently see the magnificent waves behind Yu Feihong’s calm appearance. She is a woman who is close to the limit and longs for independence. From the inside out~ The Joy Luck Club has been mentioned repeatedly in the show, out of instinct, I These two more hours are given at the end of the week.

Thirteen Invitations, Feihong Yu

This is a film that is really made for women. It contains too many things about love, about law, about letters, and about truth. When I finished watching it, the lights in the bedroom were already turned off. The film reviews were written ten hours later, not so much. Anxious, after passing the quietest buffer of a night, I should be able to think a little more. I really like that the screen first cut into the title with swan feathers, but also directly used the soft and beautiful sound to release the main line of the whole movie-"The old woman remembers that she spent a lot of money to buy a swan in Shanghai many years ago." This beast …'The market goose vendor bragged,' craned your neck and looked forward to turning the goose. You see, it is so beautiful that it makes people unbearable.” Then the woman carried the goose across the ocean and headed to the United States with expectation. Journey In the middle, she told Swan that I would have a daughter like mine in the United States, where she does not need to rely on her husband to breathe her life; no one will look down upon her because she will speak fluent English; she will have no food and clothing. Worry, don’t have to bear the humiliation; she will understand my pains, because I will give her this life-saving swan. But when she arrived in the new country, the immigration officials took her goose, the woman waved her arms in panic, leaving only I got a feather as a souvenir. Now, a long time later, this woman wants to give her daughter this feather and tell her that although the feather is not valuable, it comes from a distant country and has been carrying my expectations."

No one has never seen Andersen’s ugly duckling, right? The swan is endowed with connotations like "beauty", "growth" and "transformation". The four Chinese mothers in the United States in the film are all the products of despair after the suppression of the old China. Yes, the product-the relationship between "ideas" and "products" seems to be very popular. They have no time to examine their own. Life, deprived of ideas by the times, froze alive. The elderly Yingying sat in the completely white space, the white curtains were blown messy, the expressionless silence and dullness on Yingying's loose skin

The young Yingying was played by Yu Feihong. She went from being green, feminine, and shy to her husband taking a strange woman home, and righteously declared that her wife was the title of a "prostitute" in his eyes. She smashed her At the moment when the plate was broken, I thought there would be blood on the screen, I thought the beast-like man would feel a little bit guilty, but it turned out that the man's reprimand and Yingying picked up the fragments with her hands and hugged them. There was no room and temperature of despair in her arms, until she killed her own child by herself. The daughter Lena born in the United States also has the indelible tolerance. In a coffin-like home, with a 5-5 relationship between husband and wife, Yingying stands in the only light-transmitting cubic meter of her daughter’s room, like a soulless creature. , She said to her daughter: "Do you know you can be cherished?"

From the screen feedback to the psychological stimulation, the human nature that was squeezed by women in the liberation era is like a puppet that can be manipulated at will, and it will not be painful when dismembered. At that time, fate was a shackle, and you had no way to seek one. The way of liberation, the only thing left in the age is the gloominess or the brilliance that others can see. The movie is very interesting and it seems a bit joking. The perspective of mahjong may be related to the writer being a Chinese-American female writer. This seems to be the most common way for Chinese middle-aged and elderly women to relax. All the thoughts are the most suitable for the occasion. The way in which the women talk, they conceal each other's pretentious pride. The story originally told the story of Suyuan and her daughter June, who died in the play. Suyuan was afraid that her death would leave the twin daughters with the names of their deceased mothers on their backs and leave them under a messy tree in the messy China at the time. . The despair of not knowing that I will survive has become an expectation for my youngest daughter June. Let her practice piano, use her daughter to advertise herself, to pretend to be strong. It reminds me that when I was learning Guzheng, I was very young, and I practiced with tears. When I was playing piano, my family was open-minded, there was no persecution, and it was just what I wanted.

In the United States at that time, in such a social circle where a group of Chinese people lived, laughed and cursed, on the surface, the calmness of coping was revealed, but the cracks and mottled were also uncovered. It is exactly what Lindo (Lindo) wanted to remember when she was holding a magazine with her daughter's cover when she won the prize at the Waverly chess tournament. The inferiority of an oriental woman wanted to remember With a little bit of dignity, Lin Duo, a young girl, was a child bride-in-law in a big family. The mother-in-law beat her day after day, she couldn't help but blamed her, and finally surrendered to the girl's wisdom and ancestral superstition. Lindo took out the knife and cut his own clothes, and rubbed his hair in the mirror. With a little ghostly micro expression, all he wanted was Masnou's lowest level of freedom.

There is also An Mei. Her mother worked as the fourth concubine in a big family, and finally gave herself a righteous position by swallowing opium, giving An Mei a rare right to be respected. The scene is very similar to "Raise the Red Lantern". The icy coldness of every glance is full of unknown cruelty and loss. Daughter Rose has also penetrated the same mirror-like reflection, losing herself a little bit, without her own thoughts, to In the scene of the last rainy day, he expressed his own value to the white man.

They are all swan feathers, white and pure, with a cherished weight that they don't know, and they are easily blown away by the wind. I didn’t look at this film with a very rational and academic perspective, but as a photo-like conjecture. As a girl’s most direct point of view, the self-esteem, self-love and self-confidence that must and can be maintained, from the American perspective. After reading the stories of four living mothers and American daughters, they knew that life was like a dream. They listened and watched. After waking up from the dream, they wanted to understand what had happened.

    Exorbitant, first of all, this film does not have any structure, it is that everyone's perspective flashes back and cuts (accompanied by various narrations), which is a failure, because it is unable to integrate the expression into a story through details; secondly, the director's vision of China in the old society It is taken for granted, knowing what he is going to say, there is really no need to touch things beyond personal experience and lack of in-depth understanding; in the end, even Chinese lines in Mandarin are super plastic.

    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 rude.

  • Suyuan: That bad crab, only you tried to take it. Everybody else want best quality. You, your thinking different. Waverly took best-quality crab. You took worst, because you have best-quality heart. You have style no one can teach. Must be born this way. I see you.

  • Rose: I *like* being tragic, Ma. I learned it from you.
