喜福会英文观后感ReviewsonTheJoyLuckClub——电影《喜福会》英文影评、观后感Reviews on The Joy Luck Club——"This feather may look worthless... but it comes from afar and carries with it... all my good intentions."At the very beginning of the movie, it tells a story about an old woman who bought a swan for a foolish sum and brought it to America. This story was mentioned three times in total in this movie, which is connected to June and her mother. This story also reflected "the best quality hope " that June's mother gave to her.SUMMARY OF THE MOVIEMother No.1: SuyuanDaughter No.1: JuneDuring wartime, Suyuan was forced to migrate to Chongqing, carrying her loved twin babies. Take her miserable fate into consideration, Suyuan abandoned both of her babies and keep on escaping. Surprisingly she was survived, and her heart was broken. Her babies were also rescued by someone else.June hasn't started a family yet. After knowing her two uterine sisters were still alive, she decided to go to China to meet them.Mother No.2: LinduoDaughter No.2: WaverlyWhen Linduo was 4, she was engaged with a younger fat boy in a rich family. She couldn't bear the insults so she designed a lie to escape from the house. After that, she got a ticket to Shanghai. Waverly is genius in plying chess and she thought whatever she did, she couldn't get her mother's pleasure. Yet, her marriage to a foreigner is an exception, and misunderstanding between them was also dissolved.Mother No.3: YingyingDaughter No.3: LenaWhen Yingying was 16, she fall in love with a very handsome man and became pregnant before they got married. Their marriage was a failure, and she had no choice but kill her baby in order to "take away the only thing that she shears with her polygamous husband.Lena also had an unsuccessful marriage, she and her husband count every bill in completely detail, they take "fifty-fifty" policy. After being enlightened by her mother, she knew what to do.Mother No.4: AnmeiDaughter No.4: RoseAnmei's mother was raped by a man of wealth and was forced to be the man's fourth wife. Although her family members didn't trust her explains and evicted her from the house, she still loves her old ill mother and cut her own flesh to cure her dying mother.Rose got married with a boss owing a big wine chateau, however, all things she had done to her husband didn't pay off ---her husband's dishonesty drove their marriage to breakdown even had had a lovely daughter.Suyuan, Linduo, Yingying and Anmei, those four Chinese woman's story is the highlight of the movie. They were all insulted and maltreated by Chinese old feudalism in the old society. In order to lead a happy life, they moved to America to build up a new family. Thankfully, their daughters' life are not too bad as theirs and they speak fluent American English.The movie presents the four daughters' personal life, and then lead us to the four ladies' gloomy experience skillfully. Playing mahjong, reading the letter and gathering at the banquet are also the dispensable parts.There are a few points that impressed me:Firstly—the story behind the swan feather. The feather is an embodiment of the hope that Suyan delivered to June, and the hope also represented June' two twin sister. Secondly—fluent American English spoken by those several old Chinese woman and their yellow skin daughters. Fluent American English represented that the four ladies has live in America for many years and they have been accustomed to the American lifestyle. Thirdly—layouts in the four ladies' house and the garments they four wear. There are many antique stuffs with Chinese style scattering in the house. The clothes were also typical in Chinese style.At the end of the movie, June met her two twin sisters, she told them that their mother had already dead, and they burst into tears, simultaneously, so do I.The four ladies migrated from China to America, and brought their cultural background to there anddelivered it to their daughters. It was their mothers' tough experience that taught the girls to learn to be strong and excellent in their own life.(All the contents are written by myself, not derive from the Internet)四川农业大学英语系周记民2016.6.26。
喜福会 The Joy luck club 剧情和影评(英文)
Plot（情节回顾）在电影开头有一段剧情，就是钢琴回忆那一段，我们在这里简要提一下：在小时候微莉总是下棋冠军而June却在钢琴竞赛中失利。
June以为从此他就不用弹琴了，谁知道。
然后她被迫去弹琴，June提到她希望是那个死去的双胞胎。
这样就好了但是母亲说：It’s too late to change母亲甲（林多阿姨LinDo）1、她五岁那年，在母亲、媒婆和大户人家的共同协商下，订给了这大户人家作媳妇。
她仍跟母亲住在一起，但从此母亲用着「你是别人家的人」来对待她.诸如提醒她：「别吃那么快，人家会不要你！」......处处不忘提醒着，她已不再是母亲家的人。
母亲说，不是不再爱她，只是不敢对已经不属于自己的人有任何奢望。
她越是长成亭亭玉立，母女俩越是经常泪眼婆娑、对看无语。
2、终于，到了她得要离去的日子。
送往婆家的前一天，母亲跟她说：「你耳朵比我大，将来一定比我有福气。
以后不管发生什么事，绝对不要忘了你自己是谁。
」次日清晨，婆家派人来接她。
父母全家行李都打包好了，只等把她送走，便立刻启程南下找生路去。
母亲说：「你已经够幸运的了。
」的意思是:的确，这种穷人家的女儿，多少是根本养不大、或者早就卖掉不知死活了呢！她好歹是跟着母亲，又正正当当被送进婆家的——虽然根本不知道自己到底是嫁给了谁！3、结婚那天，她披着红头纱等丈夫进来。
等待自己的命运的那一刻，她决定一辈子记住母亲跟她说的话：「永远不要忘记自己是谁！」她嫁给了比自己小很多的小男生，结婚当夜就拿蜥蜴吓她，他又正值讨厌女生的年龄，因此不准她睡床上。
但她后来因此糟了殃。
她在婆家的身份地位，是用肚皮里生不生的出儿子来决定的。
她无法让小男生对她有任何欲念，她当然不可能受孕，她因此被婆婆三天两头的打骂。
4、最后，她用了精明的伎俩，让自己脱身。
她无意间听到女仆跟拉车夫的对谈，知道这可怜的女仆从拉车夫受了孕，车夫却抵赖不认。
她便利用婆婆迷信祖宗的弱点，告诉婆婆整桩婚姻都是错的，是媒婆贪钱的结果，祖宗中意的媳妇是那女仆，而且还让她受了传宗接代的种。
喜福会英文观后感
喜福会英文观后感喜福会英文观后感The first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant things—conflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other. The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, “You can’t make me!” Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words.This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did. I didn’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what thei r children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. The y can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear.Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, nota long a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter.The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understan d why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinks that her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating.I am deeply moved by this scene:Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, “You don't kn ow, you don't know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I'm four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you.” And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in he r eyes, “Now, you make me happy.” Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness.Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them.Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shout at the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness.View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Clu b may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation.。
英语作文喜福会观后感
英语作文喜福会观后感Reflections on the Joy Luck Club.The Joy Luck Club, a film directed by Wayne Wang and adapted from Amy Tan's eponymous novel, is a profound exploration of the complexities of mother-daughter relationships set against the backdrop of Chinese immigrant families in San Francisco. The film weaves together four separate narratives, each focusing on a unique mother-daughter duo, highlighting their shared pasts, present conflicts, and the search for understanding and acceptance.What struck me most about the film was its authenticity. The portrayal of Chinese culture, traditions, and the immigrant experience was both realistic and heartfelt. The film did not shy away from the challenges and difficulties that immigrants face, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and the struggle to fit in. At the same time,it celebrated the resilience and strength that thesefamilies draw from their shared history and traditions.The mother-daughter relationships at the center of the film were complex and multi-layered. Each character had their own unique personality, dreams, and ambitions, which often collided with those of their mothers. The film did not offer simple solutions or happy endings to these conflicts, but instead left the audience with a sense of realism and the understanding that these are ongoing processes of growth and understanding.One of the most poignant moments in the film was the scene where the mothers gather to play mahjong and share their stories. This scene not only provided a window into their pasts and the challenges they faced as immigrants but also highlighted the strength of female bonds and the importance of passing down wisdom and traditions from generation to generation. It was a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength that comes from maintaining one's culture and heritage, even in the face of adversity.The film also did an excellent job of exploring the theme of identity. Both the mothers and daughters struggledwith finding their place in the world, balancing their Chinese heritage with their American identities. This struggle was not just external, but also internal, as each character grappled with their own self-perception and the expectations of others. The film encouraged the audience to question their own identities and the role of culture and tradition in shaping them.The Joy Luck Club is a film that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. It reminds us of the importance of family, the power of female bonds, and the complexity of identity. It encourages us to embrace our own histories and cultures, while also seeking to understand and accept those who are different from us. The film left me with a sense of hope and optimism that, despite our differences, we can all find common ground and understanding if we are willing to listen and learn from each other.In conclusion, The Joy Luck Club is a film that deserves to be seen and discussed. It is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and theimportance of understanding and acceptance. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of family relationships, the immigrant experience, and the search for identity.。

“joy”or “join”---- culture shock between the east and the westThe joy luck of club is the title of this novel. It is also held by Suyuan, Jingmei’s mother, to gather 4 families immigrated to America in 1949. What is the purpose of holding such a party each week? The answer is to be joyful as the name of party------ the joy luck club. 4 old ladies always play maijiang and tell funny stories in the party. Everyone here tries his or her best to pretend to be happy. However, deeply inside their hearts, all of them have their own sorrows.What makes them unhappy? Those pains are caused not only by their lives in old China but also by the misunderstanding of their own America-born daughters. So I think the name of the book is ironic.How come daughters do not understand their mothers? It is caused by culture shock between the east and the west.“3 obedience and 4 virtues”vs. Individual freedomIn Chinese tradition, wives must follow her own parents, husbands and parents-in-low. They are not allowed to have their own idea and have no right to choose their own life. If they do not obey the rules, they will be considered to be a bad woman. This point is shown in the first part of the book------- 4 mothers’sad lives in old China. Although they have escaped from China, they also have Chinese traditional characters.However, in America, children have equal rights with their parents. They can choose their own life in the way of they like. It is not difficult to understand why American-born daughters cannot like the way of their mothers educate them.Take Waverly for example. Lindo asks her daughter to play chess and take part in a contest. After winning the game, Lindo boasts her daughter’s prize to others. Waverly can not understand this way and even hate this. She wrangles with her mother. In her view, it is her own honor. And it is none business of her mother. She asks her mother that if she wants to show off, wins the game by herself.Mothers would like a daughter to obey their wills while daughters would like to be free and independent.Criticism Vs. EncouragementChinese parents express their love to children through criticism. On the contrary, the American people show affection through encouragement.For example, Suyuan always compares her daughter Jingmei with Waverly. She always puts out Jingmei’s bad points. These things make jingmei unhappy. She believes that her mother wants to control her and likes Waverly more than her. In order to show resistance to her mother, she decides not to play the piano that her mother tries her best to let her learn.Suyuan wants her daughter to became a swan, which represents her hope. She left fromChina for seeking a better way to live and finding a new lifestyle for women. She intent to let her daughter have been respected by others instead of being a Chinese traditional woman. However she fails. The failure is indicated at the beginning of the book. When su yuan arrived in America the immigration officials pulls her swan away from her, leaving the women fluttering her arms and with only one swan feather for a memory.It is a tragedy to Jingmei as she really has a talent for playing the piano. She does not realize it until her mother died. The treason for this tragedy is misunderstanding between 2 generations in different cultures.Chinese vs. EnglishThe linguistic barrier exists between each mother and their children. The children alsys complains their mothers’bad English mixed with Chinese words. They think their mothers are stupid while mothers think children know nothing. It shows that there is lack of communication between 2 generations.All of these show culture shock between the east and the west.At the end of the book, this situation is changed. Jingmei can understand her mother’s love; Lindo accepts Waverly’s husband who is a foreigner that she dislikes; Lena approves her value to her American husband after her mother’s advice…daughters starts to understand their mothers and the west can understand the east.Now I realize another meaning of the joy luck club. “Joy”stands for “join”It is a link between the 2 generations. In the party daughters and mothers have meals and communicate together. It is also the link between the east and the west. Mothers show Chinese dishes here and play Chinese traditional game---- maijiang. And all different colors friends gather here. It signs conciliatory of these 2 cultures.用一桌“三缺一”的麻将，牵出数个女子人生的悲欢离合，小说《喜福会》起首就不凡。
