第二篇:the joy luck club读后感

Reflection of the joy luck club

The move The joy luck club, adapted from the novel of the same name title by American born Chinese famous writer, Amy Tan, deeply shocked me for its moving story. It tells us about the different life experience of four pairs of Chinese mother and daughter living in America. The title conveys some signs of luck and joy to us, while the movie, also tells some unpleasant parts—— quarrel, sorrow, disappointment, hardship etc. It reminds me a Chinese old saying——Every family has its cupboard.

The joy luck club illustrates a lot of topics, like culture and generation gap, struggling of women in the past and present society and the incredible bond of families etc, which one of them should I emphasize here——the misunderstanding between mother and daughter.

The part of this movie impressed me most is the conversation between Lingdo Jong and her daughter Vivily in the beauty salon. Tomorrow is Vivily’s wedding, but her mummy are hurt by her words. They have different ideas about mother’s hair style in wedding. Vivily thought her mother’s hair style is outdated, while mother reckon her daughter are embarrassed because of her obsolete and never cared about her advice. After a bitter quarrel, Vivily said some truth she never tell her mother that indeed she just cares too much about her mother’s attitude, even one word, one sight or one expression from her. Also, the mother let her daughter know who she was and all her press to Vivily

comes from her love!

It reminds me of my own experiments. I used to discussed intensively with my mother about this. But for now, as I grew, I prefer communication and understanding. Sometimes, our misunderstanding to the families hurt both sides. We are ashamed to express love and inner thoughts. We are stubborn and don’t explain anything. As far as I am concern, it is all because of unawareness of communication to the people we love. After overcome the obstacle of mind, we will have more joy and happiness in our family!

The four mothers are all native-born Chinese. They had the different background, experiences, and the characters. But the same, they all experienced the rough memory.For the four daughters, they were all born in the American, and this life is the American style, so they always have the conflicts with their mothers. And because they have the Chinese look, sometimes they were treated special. In the movie, the mothers all had the dream. They went to the America and wanted their children can have a new life different with theirs. They want their daughter far away the war, no one look down on them because they have a normal accent of American, and, the most important, they want their daughters can live a good life. But the fact doesn’t like what they image, because every land has the conflict and the painful on it.

And there are many conflict of different of cultures showed in the movie. For example, at the beginning of the movie, mother Lindo makes a comparison of Chinese mahjong and Judaic mahjong. And because Waverly’s boy friend

doesn’t know the table manners of Chinese, Lindo is very angry.

This movie tells a story between the first generation immigrants and second generation immigrants of Chinese-American, as well as the history of struggle of them. And the movie is worth watching.
