喜福会 英文观后感

The Joy Luck Club

The Joy Luck Club is one of the my favourite movies, it begins with the main character Ah muir, just returning to the United States from the mainland visit, caught up with a party whose members are all her mother’s lifetime friends and their daughters when mother was still alive. Ah muir is playing mahjong with aunts, sitting in the seat which was her mother’s before. All the four people on the table, with different characters, have their own pains and struggling stories behind. Aunt Lin’s smartness and strongness let herself get rid of the identity as a child bride, striving to today's position; Aunt yingying has unbearable memories in the past, so she hopes her daughter will be bravely being herself; Aunt Anmei was influenced by his mother, knowing to make voices in front of the fate of unfair; While ah muir's mother, because of the war, got apart from her little children accidentally. Four women are all surviving from the poor, getting through trails and tribulations.They don't want their own daughter to repeat their tragedies.

But four daughters intangibly went through their life in a very similar way as their mother’s. They couldn’t understand mothers’ hard cares, feeling confused, painful. As they mature, just know their mother's well-meaning.

If the mothers in "The joy luck club" represent the traditional Chinese culture, then the group of girls are the representations of modern

American civilization. The attention of author, can say to break the long-standing "center" and "edge" the opposite mode, behind the surface cultural conflict, reaches a deeper cultural identity.

America is such a white culture that is dominant, multicultural society, How Chinese immigrants bear the fine tradition of the Chinese culture, and absorb the essence of American culture, so as to construct something that belongs to this group of cultural identity is always the concern of many Chinese writers. Amy tan is one of those observers to the super borders with multicultural insight. Both novel and movie "the joy luck club" ,through the intersection of heterogeneous culture, provide for readers and viewers a net which consists of different nations and the dialogues between different cultures. “The joy luck club "expresses not only the young generation chase for the rootless memory, also is not only the confusion and the struggle of ethnic Chinese that being in such a cultural identity dilemma, but through the expectation of the fusion of two kinds of culture, expressed the Chinese people are reluctant to abandon and hide the Chinese cultural identity in order to servilely cater to the mainstream culture or in order to squeeze into the mainstream American society, nor to stick to Chinese culture to fight against with the wishes of the white mainstream culture. The film conveys one argue that to downplay cultural identity defined, and to eliminate the culture antipathy.So as to achieve the globalization of

multinational culture blend of peaceful coexistence.

如果母亲在“喜福会”代表了中国传统文化,和该组织的女孩是美国现代文明的表现。作者的关注,可以说打破长期以来的“中心”和“边缘”相反的模式,表面背后的文化冲突,达到更深层次的文化认同。

美国是这样一个白人文化占主导地位,多元文化的社会,中国移民如何承担中华文化的优良传统,并吸收美国文化的精髓,从而建构属于这个群体的文化身份的东西总是许多中国作家的关注。谭恩美是超国界的观察家与多元文化的洞察力。小说和电影,“喜福会”,通过异质文化的交汇,为读者和观众净,由不同的国家,不同的文化之间的对话,空间和时间。“喜福会”不仅表达了年轻一代追求的记忆飘没有根,也不仅是华人的混乱和斗争,在这种文化认同困境,但期望的两种文化的融合,表达了中国人民不愿意放弃和隐藏中国文化认同为了servilely迎合主流文化或以挤进美国主流社会,也不坚持华夏中国的文化来对抗白人主流文化的意愿。这部电影传达了一个认为淡化文化身份的定义,消除文化的反感,从而达到和平共处的全球化跨国文化的融合。

Personal life

Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California to Chinese immigrants John Tan, an electrical engineer and Baptist minister, and Daisy, who was forced to leave her three daughters from a previous marriage behind in Shanghai. This incident provided the basis for Tan's first novel, 1989 New York Times bestseller The Joy Luck Club.[1]

Amy is the middle child and only daughter among Daisy and John Tan's three children. In the late 1960s Amy's sixteen-year-old brother Peter died of a brain tumor. Within a year of Peter's death, Amy's father died of the same disease. After these family tragedies, Daisy moved Amy and her younger brother John Jr. to Switzerland, where Amy finished high school.[2] During this period, Amy learned about her mother's former marriage to an abusive man in China, and of their four children, including three

daughters and a son who died as a toddler. In 1987 Amy traveled with Daisy to China. There, Amy finally met her three half-sisters.[3]

The Joy Luck Club (1989) is a best-selling novel written by Amy Tan. It focuses on four Chinese American immigrant families in San Francisco, California who start a club known as "the Joy Luck Club," playing the Chinese game of mahjong for money while feasting on a variety of foods. The book is structured somewhat like a mahjong game, with four parts divided into four sections to create sixteen chapters. The three mothers and four daughters (one mother, Suyuan Woo, dies before the novel opens) share stories about their lives in the form of vignettes. Each part is preceded by a parable relating to the game.

In 1993, the novel was adapted into a feature film directed by Wayne Wang. The screenplay was written by the author Amy Tan along with Ronald Bass. The novel was also adapted into a play which premiered at Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York.

Sagwa is the name of a cat in the children's book Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat by author Amy Tan. Sagwa's popularity with children prompted an educational animated series of the same name on PBS Kids. In the series, which is set circa 1900 during the Qing Dynasty, Sagwa has fun in her day-to-day life while learning and teaching valuable life lessons. The show is notable for its setting and messages about familial obligations and loyalty.
