female awakening

The Joy Luck Club is really, really good. I feel that I have a thorough grasp of some elements of our traditional culture, and discuss this very sharp question: Integrating into another culture

. About the cultural conflicts faced by a group of Chinese-Americans in the early last century and the encounters and conflicts branded by an era. legend. When a group of women tried to integrate into American society, they encountered different problems; it was also a group of Chinese women's rethinking and awakening of obedience and individual consciousness, thinking about their life experiences. I think it is also a must-see for feminism.

Among this group of women, some people are willing to obey and assist their American husband, but the husband wants her to have his own opinions and quarrel with him. , resist marriage with wit; some people separate accounts from their husbands for all the details of their lives, every one, as small as an ice cream - what is their marriage, and what else is there in their marriage; They can escape the fate of being betrayed by their husbands; some people are expelled from big families and parted with their biological daughters.

The two little girls in the unforgettable film carry all the expectations of the two mothers - even if the mother argues that it is hope rather than expectation, I think this argument is ultimately weak. The two children became the target of the comparison between the two mothers, and the two children became the capital for their respective mothers to show off. A girl plays the piano, a girl plays chess, and they all end up being forced into disinterest. The last child said something: Since you are promoting the magazine with my photo on the cover, why don't you learn chess yourself? I especially liked the two girls part, maybe because of the sympathy aroused in the crowd of my life? Maybe it's because I've been feeling the generation gap so strongly lately—even though my dear parents didn't force me to be anything—even though I didn't.

Every woman in the film has an unfortunate past, the misfortune brought by the feudal family, the misfortune brought about by survival in the gap between Eastern and Western cultures, the misfortune brought about by gender inequality, and so on. Some of them stopped fighting—or some of them didn't know the concept of "resistance" at all; some of them had been fighting silently, but the results were not the same. different roads.

    I think there is a gap, maybe Americans or Chinese Americans can really understand this piece. The person who recommended me to watch before said that this film can be compared with Lee Ang's "Pushing Hands" and "Diet Men and Women". How could it be possible? The difference is too far. Ang Lee is invincible.

    Women's past and present lives, hidden sadness and pain. Wang Ying tried to tell the story softly, but it was a bit verbose. Secondly, the Chinese passages in the film, Chinese and Chinese are filled with a strong American flavor, and the perspectives are different, and it is still difficult to accurately restore.

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.
