The Joy Luck Club (a movie review)

I was pleased with the product. The movie is a classic and can relate to all aspects of life. It is not only a 'chick flick', but I think a movie for all ages and likes of people. Perhaps reading the book would be an interesting treat to compare it with the film.

It will make you laugh, cry and sometimes both!

It's a sad fact of life that most of us never take the time to get to know the people who made it possible for us be here. Parents, for many of us, remain an enigma. Their lives, before we came into the world, are all to often shrouded in a mist does not rise while they are alive. A mist that all to often becomes permanantly impenatrable after they have left this world. For the young women in this movie this is not to be the case. Because of the circumstances of thier lives these mothers will reveal thier secrets to thier daughters. The daughters will learn the wisdom of thier mothers and find that they learn much about themselves in the process. This movie will pull every emotion out of you and leave you feeling tired, but better for the journey. It will leave you with wisdom by which to judge, and perhaps change, your lives. Give it to someone you love and then share the experience with them. I did and I'm glad!

A Mother's Wish Fulfilled

The Joy Luck Club, based on Amy Tan's bestselling novel, is a powerful drama about four Chinese-American families that endures sorrow and painful moments. Ming-Na gives a great performance as June, the daughter of a deceased Chinese immigrant who found out she has twin sisters. Rosalind Chao, Lauren Tom and Tamlyn Tomita were also great in their respective roles. The only part of the film that really got me emotionally, was the young girl drowned her infant son in a flashback. This movie should have won an Oscar for best picture.

From one generation to the next

Yes, it's a girly movie, but who says guys don't have the same problems? It's not enough that many mothers and daughters have communication issues but add cultural differences on top of it and you've got a collision waiting to happen!

The mothers grew up in the old country and each have a unique and heartfelt story to tell. The mother's were survivors and were able to escape the life they were born into and found new lives for themselves. Who says baggage doesn't follow you and the next geneartion?

The American born daughters clash with their mothers growing up but finally have the heart to heart talk with their mothers that can finally unite them. A little communication can go a long way!
