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.

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.

论电影《喜福会》中英汉礼貌用语的语用差异

论电影《喜福会》中英汉礼貌用语的语用差异

摘要:文章以电影《喜福会》为例,从跨文化交际的角度,对交谈时话题的选择、称呼语、谦虚与客套语,社交应酬等中出现的礼貌语用差异进行阐述,更深层次地理解礼貌用语在跨文化交际中的重要意义,从而提高跨文化交际的能力。

关键词:礼貌用语;语用差异;《喜福会》1.引言在跨文化交际中,礼貌用语成为不同文化背景下人们日常交际的一个重要环节,对人际关系的良好发展有着或不可缺的影响。

合适的礼貌用语往往能缩短人与人之间的距离,缓减紧张的气氛以及消除误会等,然而出现礼貌用语的语用失误时,迷茫、疑惑、冲突、误解等问题也会随之而来。

为了建立人与人之间的良好关系,应避免交际中不必要的误会和冲突,更应该掌握不同的文化,了解礼貌的用语,提高交际能力。

《喜福会》是一部典型的关于英汉文化冲突的电影,本文以它为例,从礼貌用语的语用差异角度来剖析英汉文化冲突所导致的交流障碍。

2.英汉礼貌用语的语用差异 2.1谦虚与客套语的不同贬低自己和尊重别人是最富有中国文化特色的礼貌现象。

中国人擅于发现别人身上的优点并对其赞美;当受到别人赞扬或祝贺时,往往会说一些自我贬低的谦虚话。

而英美人士则会用“Thank you!”来回答别人的赞美或祝贺。

电影《喜福会》中,有一个例子是这样的:在Armey (华裔)儿时,生活在中国,二房太太送给她一串珍珠作为见面礼。

Armey的母亲立即说:“二太太,你不要把这么贵重的东西给小孩子,她不配。

”说自己的孩子不配,对英语国家的人来说是很难理解的,因为他们在收到礼物时,一般会说“Thanks!”来表示感谢。

另一个例子是这样的:Waverly(华裔)邀请自己的男友Rich(美国人)来家里做客,在饭桌上,Waverly 的母亲Lindo(华裔)在端出自己的拿手菜时,贬低自己的菜烧得不好吃。

“This dish is not salty enough, no flavor, it’s too bad to eat, but please.”(这菜不够咸,没味道,不好吃,请包涵,我们得顺意吃一点)这就是典型的中国人自我否认的态度,如果是中国人在饭桌上听到主人这样谦虚的话语,会直呼自己从未吃过这么好吃的,称赞主人的手艺高超,然而作为从小在美国文化背景下的Rich全然不知Lindo的含意,直接在菜中加了酱油,造成了尴尬的局面。

“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。

《喜福会》电影英语作文母女关系的思考

《喜福会》电影英语作文母女关系的思考

《喜福会》电影英语作文母女关系的思考My Thoughts on the Mother and Daughter in "Happiness Reunion"I recently watched the movie "Happiness Reunion" with my family. It's a Chinese film about a mother named Arlina and her grown-up daughter named Molly. At first, I didn't think I would enjoy it since it's a drama and not an action or comedy movie. But I ended up really liking it, especially the relationship between Arlina and Molly.In the beginning, Arlina and Molly didn't get along very well at all. Molly was quite rude and disrespectful to her mom. She would roll her eyes when Arlina tried to give her advice. She didn't seem to care about her mom's feelings at all. I felt bad for Arlina because she clearly loved Molly very much but Molly took her for granted.My mom says the reason Molly acted that way is because she was going through a "rebellious phase" that many teenagers experience. They start to pull away from their parents and challenge their authority. I don't fully understand it since I'm not a teenager yet, but I've seen some of my older friends start acting differently towards their parents too.As the movie went on, some serious family issues came up that forced Arlina and Molly to work through their problems. Without giving away too much of the plot, there was a big argument where they finally expressed all their bottled-up emotions. It was an emotional scene that made me tear up.After that massive fight, Arlina and Molly slowly began repairing their bond. Molly realized how much sacrifices her single mother had made to raise her. And Arlina learned to give Molly more independence as a young adult. It wasn't an instant fix, but they made progress through open communication and compromise.By the end, their relationship seemed healthier and built on mutual understanding. Molly was more appreciative of her mom, while Arlina gave her daughter more space. It showed that even if a mother and daughter go through rocky times, their love can overcome it.What I took away from the film is that the mother-daughter relationship is incredibly important but also complicated. Daughters may sometimes feel their moms are nagging or overbearing. And moms may not realize their daughters are gradually becoming their own independent people. There can be clashes over lifestyle choices, careers, boyfriends, and more.However, the movie reminded me that no matter how frustrating your mom is at times, she ultimately wants what's best for you. She's coming from a place of love and concern, even if it doesn't seem that way in the heat of the moment. And from a mother's perspective, letting your little girl grow up and make her own decisions is one of the hardest parts of parenting.At the end of the day, Arlina and Molly were there for each other when times got tough. Their bond was strained but never fully broken because of their deep-rooted love and family ties. I think having role models like them makes me appreciate my own mom more. I should make an effort to see things from her perspective and not take her for granted.Watching "Happiness Reunion" gave me a small glimpse into the complexities of being a mother or a daughter. It's not all just sappy Mother's Day card sentiments. Real mothers and daughters go through very real ups and downs, joys and pains. What matters is sticking together through the hard times and reinforcing those family bonds.I may only be a kid, but this film taught me some mature lessons about the value of mother-daughter relationships. While I'm not going to stop throwing tantrums or acting immaturely for a while yet, I'll try to respect and cherish the specialconnection I have with my mom more often. After all, she's getting me through my own "happiness reunion" called childhood.。

《喜福会》英文观后感

《喜福会》英文观后感

《喜福会》英文观后感第一篇:《喜福会》英文观后感My views on The Joy Luck ClubI'm really touched after watching the movie.I enjoyed it very much and it made me have a deep thinking about women’s rights and their thoughts.The Joy Luck Club is about mothers trying to teach their daughters lessons, but the daughters do not understand.All four mothers went through hardships to learn this lesson when they were young and now they try to teach their daughters the right mix of American culture and Chinese principles.The daughters are unable to understand where their mothers are coming from and they just ignore them.In the movie the mothers can’t express the lessons that they learned as children, to their daughters because they don't understand;however finally they understand.When Lindo was only twelve, she was forced to move in with a neighbor's young son, Huang Tyan-yu, through the machinations of the village matchmaker.After some training for household duties through her in-laws, she and Tyan-yu married when she turned sixteen.She soon realized that her husband was just a little boy at heart and had no sexual interest in her.Lindo began to care for her husband as a brother, but her cruel mother-in-law expected Lindo to produce a grandson.She restricted most of Lindo's daily activities, eventually ordering her to remain on bed rest until she could conceive and deliver a child.However,Ying-Ying’s destiny are not like this.From a young age, Ying-Ying is told by her wealthy and conservative family that Chinese girls should be meek and gentle.This is especially difficult for her, she feels, because she is a Tiger character.She begins to develop a passivepersonality and repress her feelings as she grows up in Wuxi.Ying-Ying marries a charismatic man named Lin Xiao, not out of love, butbecause she believed it was her fate.Her husband is revealed to be abusive and openly has extramarital relationships with other women.When Ying-Ying discovers she is pregnant.She drowned her baby as a revengy to her husband.I was shocked after finish this part.So I serched the internet and found a few information about marrige in ancient China ,women’s status and divoce in nowadays.In the past, parents arranged marriages were very ually young people would have their spouse decided by their parents.Sometimes young people could only have the first look of their spouse at their wedding.It was also common thatsometimes an arranged marriage could be organized even before the child was born as long as parents from both families agreed.For centuries before the early 1900's, there was a prominent male domination in the country of China.Women were deprived of all rights and were present mainly to serve men.Women served as slaves, concubines, and prostitutes.Marriages were arranged, sometimes preparing a female from infancy to serve her future husband.This can be seen most effectively by the practice of foot binding.Beginning around the eleventh century, foot binding became a tradition.When a girl became three or four years of age her mother would tightly wrap her daughter's feet in bandages with her toes tucked under the soles.On top of this excruciating pain, the bandages would be tightened each day.If a woman's feet weren't bound she was considered unsuitable formarriage.In fact, it was preferred that the foot be around 3inches in length.However,in modern days, things have changed quite a lot.Free love prevails and lovers can choose to get married with whoever they love.Of course, in order to show their respect to their parents, formal agreement has still to be obtained prior to any proper marriage procedure.And there is no foot binding any more.The increasing population of males with white collar jobs and liberal marriage laws have both contributed to the rising divorce rate in China.More mature women in China are turning to dating agencies, looking for new mates, after their husband left them for females ten years younger.On the other hand, more men with high paying jobs find themselves surrounded by young paramours.China's liberal divorce laws have given women a chance to break free fromunhappy marriages or marriages that were arranged by their families.But today, it is often the man who is taking advantage of such laws to leave the marriage, once he finds himself in a comfortable financial situation, for a young lover tucked away somewhere.Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.So,we should still try our best to protect women’s right.第二篇:喜福会英文观后感My Reflection of The Joy Luck ClubI wonder that when seeing the name The Joy Luck Club most people would treat it as a story filled with happiness and love.In fact, besides love, it is also about the cultural conflicts between four daughters and their mothers.The film is based on the best seller by Amy Tan of the same name.It shows us the lives of four Chinese women who were immigrants to America during the 1950s.As a mother, each of them has a lot of problems with their daughter because of cultural conflicts.The misunderstanding of love between the mothers and their American-raised daughters,the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity touch every audience’s heart.Though I was also attracted by something with extensiveness——I want to talk about some points about the language.I had learnt that what are high context communication and low context communication and what is different between them.The former is one in which most of the information is internalized in a person, while very little in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message——we must guess what the real meaning of the words is;while the other is the opposite.Chinese just the stands for the former and English is the representative of the latter.An interesting scene in the movie just shows us this.When Waverly’s boyfriend Richie had a dinner with Waverly’s big Chinese family for the first time, he made some stupid mistakes.He brought his typical American habit when the they were eating and he couldn’t understan d what Lindo(Waverly’s mother)mean when she said “ He has an appetite”.When Lindo brought a dish which she was very proud of, as a Chinese, she still said some formulae that the dish was not salty enough and it was too bad to eat;that suggested that everyone around the table should speak highly of her dish after their first degustation;while Richie didn’t understand that Chinese all like to be modest and he criticized Lindo’s cooking, just saying what he thought in his mind directly.What Richie did led to a very embarrassing atmosphere in the dinner and made Lindo very disappointed anddisgraced.The misunderstanding of a different culture and a different language is the mainly reason causing the awkward occasion.If Richie had known what he had faced with was a group of people with different culture and saying a high contextlanguage, and had done some preparation for that different traditional Chinese dinner, he could have avoid to making so many foolish mistake.T o understand what a Chinese mean you could not just follow the superficial message transmitted by his words, instead, you should connect those words to his cultural background and the situation you are in.By appreciating the movie we could realize the culture of a people from their language.In this movie the cultural conflicts between the mothers’ traditional Chinese concept and the daughters’ up-to-date American concept are fully described by their dialogues and soliloquies.In conclusion, a language is really the mirror of a culture;and if we want to understand the marrow of a culture we could appreciate its language.第三篇:《喜福会》英文观后感My Appreciation of the Joy Luck ClubThe 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 eachother 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 sadexpression on Suyuan’s face indi cates 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 their 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.They 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, not along 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 otherexample 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 understand 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 know, 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 her 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 mistakesshe 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 Club 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.第四篇:喜福会英文观后感The Joy Luck ClubThe 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 daughtersintangibly 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 modernAmerican 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 int ersection 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 globalizationofmultinational culture blend of peaceful coexistence.阿梅,从中国大陆访问,回到美国就赶上了一个政党的成员都是她母亲的一生的朋友和他们的女儿时,她还活着。

喜福会4个故事简介[评电影《喜福会》中的母女冲突]

喜福会4个故事简介[评电影《喜福会》中的母女冲突]

喜福会4个故事简介[评电影《喜福会》中的母女冲突][关键词]文化差异;矛盾冲突;文化融合;《喜福会》谭恩美是血管里流着中国血的“土生土长”的美国人。

电影《喜福会》中有4对移民母女,母亲们来自20世纪40年代的旧中国,受尽屈辱和苦难,为摆脱苦海,她们千辛万苦来到美国。

虽然身在异国,她们却从来不曾忘记自己的中国传统文化,并试图用中国的传统文化去教育女儿们。

可出生并成长在美国的女儿们对中国的传统文化知之甚少,她们很难理解母亲的中华文化及其思维方式,常常与母亲发生矛盾冲突。

本文通过对《喜福会》中母女由冲突、理解到包容的过程的分析来看中西方文化差异。

一、母女的矛盾冲突(一)教育观的冲突中国是个异常重视教育的国家,“书中自有黄金屋” 是流传至今的教育理念。

这种理念充分体现在《喜福会》中的母亲身上。

在母亲们漂洋过海来到美国的途中,她们暗暗发誓:“ 到了美国,我要生个女儿,女儿会很像我;但是在美国,她不需仰仗丈夫的鼻息度日;在美国,将不会有人歧视她,因为我要让她讲一口流利漂亮的美国英语;她会应有尽有,不会烦恼和忧愁;她会理解我的一番苦心,我定要她变成一只比期望还好一百倍的漂亮天鹅!”因此到达美国后,母亲对女儿们寄予厚望,在彼此的相互攀比中把希望寄托在女儿身上。

例如,晶妹的母亲为了让她学钢琴,情愿免费为楼下退休的钢琴教师做清洁工,而且她省吃俭用为晶妹买了一架旧钢琴。

这体现了中国母亲望女成凤的信念:为了女儿的未来,再苦再累也心甘情愿。

而对母亲们所做的诸多牺牲,推崇自由和个性的女儿们无法理解。

相反的,女儿们感觉她们的个性受到了压制,失去了个人自由,所以她们通过种种方法进行反抗。

因而女儿们在面对母亲们的批评时,激烈地反击:“一味地批评意味着你们希望的就是失败。

”(二)婚姻观的冲突在电影中,母女在婚姻观上也表现出了不同。

在女儿们看来:婚姻纯属个人私事,任何人不能干涉,包括自己的父母;而在母亲传统的中国观念中,儿女的婚姻向来都是父母之命,媒妁之言,个人根本无权选择。

喜福会电影英文影评

喜福会电影英文影评

The Joy Luck Club, as stated in the movie's opening narrative, is a collection of four aging Chinese women bound together more by hope than joy or luck. The four women - Suyuan (Kieu Chinh), Lindo (Tsai Chin), Ying Ying (France Nuyen), and An Mei (Lisa Lu) - came to America many years ago to escape China's feudal society for the promise of the United States' democracy. Now, however, Suyuan has died and the three surviving members of the club invite her daughter June (Ming-Na Wen) to take her place. June belongs to the "new" generation, those of Chinese heritage who grew up speaking English and learning American customs. Also of roughly the same age are Waverly (Tamlyn Tomita), Lindo's daughter; Lena (Lauren Tom), Ying Ying's daughter; and Rose (Rosalind Chao), An Mei's daughter. The Joy Luck Club tells of the varied difficulties and tragedies involved in these mother/daughter relationships.Co-writer Ronald Bass (who, along with Amy Tan, adapted from Tan's novel) says that there are sixteen separate stories in The Joy Luck Club. Since I didn't count, I can't verify this statement, but it sounds about right. Taken as a whole, these vignettes combine to lend greater meaning to the whole. The Joy Luck Club is the sum total of its parts with common themes giving solid grounding and greater resonance to the overall film. As Bass comments, "I saw all the mothers' and daughters' stories as facets of the same experience. Put together, they formed a mosaic. That's the genius of the book, and if we cut it down to just a couple of stories it would be like any other movie."The stories are not related in such a manner as to seem pared down or truncated, nor is their presentation confusing, thanks to acleverly-orchestrated framing scene with the principal characters gathered together. However, it is apparent that a lot more could have been told, and we're left wondering about all that we didn't get to see. The characters are mostly well-developed, but it's tantalizing to consider how much fuller some of them could have been with a different plot structure.The Joy Luck Club is clearly - perhaps too clearly - an adaptation of a book. The dialogue is often too poetic to be real, and the story too clearly plotted to be acceptable as anything more than an imperfect reflection of the world we live in. The line between drama and melodrama is a fine one, and, while The Joy Luck Club most often successfully navigates the tightrope, there are times when it slips and comes across as heavy-handed. This film is no stranger to moments of manipulation.The characters are The Joy Luck Club's real strength. Many are played by more than one actor (as children then adults, for example), but all transitions are smooth and seamless. It's as easy to accept both a littlegirl and the beautiful, sophisticated-looking Tamlyn Tomita as Waverly, and that's because the characters transcend the performers portraying them.It's fascinating and satisfying the way the diverse threads are knitted together into a single tapestry. The Joy Luck Club's message is one of hope -- that catharsis and emotional fulfillment often come through tragedy. Sure, a lot of bad things happen during the course of this film, but at the end, the tears are of happiness and new beginnings, not loss.Thanks to the popularity of actors such as Jackie Chan ("Rush Hour 2"), Jet Li ("Kiss of the Dragon"), Chow Yun-fat ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), and Lucy Liu ("Charlie's Angels"), seeing Asian faces on the silver screen has become almost commonplace these days. However, not too long ago, Asian actors in Hollywood were usually relegated to playing unflattering bit parts, such as gang members, prostitutes, martial arts masters, enemy soldiers, or the 'token oriental'. At that time, crafting a drama with an all-Asian cast (with a Chinese director no less) was almost inconceivable. Yet in 1993, director Wayne Wang (best known for "Smoke" and "Chinese Box") and producer Oliver Stone ("Any Given Sunday") pulled it off by bringing Amy Tan's best-selling novel "The Joy Luck Club" to the big screen. And though the story is deeply entrenched in theAsian-American experience, "The Joy Luck Club" ends up transcending all races and cultures with its heartfelt examination of the special bond between mothers and their daughters.The 'Joy Luck Club' of the title refers to four women who immigrated from China to the United States long ago: An Mei (Lisa Lu), Ying Ying (France Nuyen), Lindo (Tsai Chin, heard recently in "Titan A.E."), and Suyuan (Kieu Chinh of "Riot in the Streets"). The story is framed by a large get-together of the extended families of the 'Joy Luck Club', although Suyuan has recently passed away. The reason for the celebration is the imminent departure of Suyuan's American-born daughter June (Ming-Na Wen, heard recently in "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within"), who is traveling to China to meet two half-sisters she has never met. Also in attendance are Lindo's daughter Waverly (Tamlyn Tomita, who starred in the "Babylon 5" pilot episode), Ying Ying's daughter Lena (Lauren Tom), and An Mei's daughter Rose (Rosalind Chao of "What Dreams May Come").As the film unfolds, a series of well-orchestrated flashbacks (sixteen in total) tell the stories of the 'Joy Luck Club' and their American-born daughters. Though these two generations grew up in different times and places, the former in a land where women were little more than chattel and the latter in an environment that encouraged personal freedom and the departure from tradition, their struggles have far more in common than not. In addition to telling how June's mother was forced to leave her twin daughters by a roadside in China, the audience gets a glimpse of how Lindo was once married to a ten-year old spoiled brat, the agonizing sacrifice of An Mei's mother (Vivian Wu of "The Last Emperor") to safeguard a better life for her daughter, and Ying Ying's act of vengeance against a philandering husband (Russell Wong of "Romeo Must Die"). All of their experiences in pre-revolutionary China have a direct bearing on the lives of their daughters, who end up re-learning the same agonizing lessons in modern-day America: Lena's broken marriage where activity-based costing runs amuck, the struggles of Waverly and June to please their mothers, and Rose's inability to ascertain her true self-worth."The Joy Luck Club" is not an easy film to sit through, as the lives of these women seem to have little joy or luck. However, despite the hardship, it is clear that there is something that the 'Joy Luck Club' has an abundance of: hope of a better life for their daughters. This is the common motivation that underlies all the vignettes, and even though the courageous acts of self-sacrifice are not always overt or well understood by the daughters, they remain powerful testaments to the unbreakable ties between a mother and her child.Though most of the vignettes are heartbreaking, there are moments of unexpected pleasure, such as how Lindo is able to outsmart her way out of her loveless marriage, the appalling table manners of Waverly's gwei lo fiancé (Christopher Rich), or the comic rel ief courtesy of June's deaf piano teacher. And even if you are not Chinese or even female, there are plenty of small moments that will resonate with anyone who has ever been a parent or child (which includes just about everyone), such as June's childhood battles with her mother over piano lessons, or how Lindo takes pleasure in bragging about Waverly's prowess in chess.The only criticism that can be leveled against "The Joy Luck Club" is the wavering quality of the acting and the scripted dialogue. At times, particularly in the scenes that take place in the modern day, the film seems to stumble with pretentious-sounding line delivery and overly flowery conversation. Thankfully, there is an underlying earnestness to the story, and coupled with Wang's skillful direction, these transgressions are forgivable.Though "The Joy Luck Club" ends in tears, they are not borne out of sadness. Instead, they are tears of joy as the torch of hope and the aspirations of a better life are passed on to a new generation. Likewise, despite the poignant material, "The Joy Luck Club" ends up being an uplifting film. Not only does it honor the sacrifices often made by one generation for the next, but it also offers a glimpse of the sort of connection we would all like to share with our parents.Most films these days are easy to describe because they fit into types such as love stories or thrilliers. But The Joy Luck Club, which was based on the novel written by Amy Tan, is different. It is a story about love and conflicts between four daughters and their mothers.The story is set in San Francisco in the recent past .It shows us the lives of four Chinese women who were new immigrants to Sanfrancisco during the 1950s. The four women acquaint themselves with each other by playing mahjong. They became closed friends because they had similar experiences and they called themselves the Joy Luck Club. As a mother, each of them has a lot of problems with their daughter.Obviously, the conflicts are caused by mothers’ and daughters’ generatio n gaps and growing backgrounds. The mothers grew up in China where there are many traditions and rules to follow. However, the daughters grew up in San Francisco and live in an American way. When their daughters grow up, they are expected to marry people that their mothers know and agree to. In this movie, the tender and complicated love between mothers and daughters certainly impressed me a lot. In my real life , I always have conflicts with my mother .Sometimes my mother think that I am too rebellious and disobedient, while I often complain that my mother does not understand me at all. After reading this book, I begin to think from my mother's stance,As the author says, “this is a novel for mothers, daughters, and those that love them.” It is a serious st ory and tells us many things about generation gap and culture barriers which every one of us will encounter. I would definitely recommend it.The Joy Luck Club is a movie based on the bestselling novel by Amy Tan of the same name. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. It combines the stories of mothers and daughters to tell one sincere story of friendship. It is one of the finest pieces of acting collaberations among an ensemble cast. It also combines foriegn film with American film in a way giving it a new style. This movie is almost ten years old. For me it never gets old and the stories are also fresh. I like the set up of the movie or the sequence rather, better than the book. It seemed to make more sense. It also has the movie and book on the same level of unique style and everlasting stories to go along with it. Many of the performances were powerful. Even those who only spoke the Chinese language in the film should have gotten awards for performances that made me laugh and cry. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to see an honestly good film without the Hollywood hype. Rent it, you won't regret it.Screenwriter Bass and novelist Tan have skilfully adapted her best-seller into a slick, complicated, overlong, saga about different generations of Asian women in the States.Four Chinese women meet each week at the Joy Luck (mah-jong) 俱乐部 in San Francisco. Their four daughters are well assimilated into US society and match the natives in theirconcern with trivial everyday problems. In stark contrast, the lives of the elderly women are intercut as they discuss and recall early hardships. Wang manages to control thenumerous strands, handle the talented cast and raise this weepie several notches above soap.。

喜福会作者谭恩美英文简介

Amy Tan (Chinese: 譚恩美; born February 19, 1952) is a Chinese American writer whose works explore mother-daughter relationships. In 1993, Tan's adaptation of her first novel, The Joy Luck Club, became a commercially successful film. The book has been translated into 35 languages.Tan has written several other bestselling novels, including The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter and Saving Fish From Drowning. She also wrote a collection of non-fiction essays entitled The Opposite of Fate: A Book of Musings. Her most recent novel Saving Fish From Drowning explores the tribulations experienced by a group of people who disappear while on an art expedition in the jungles of Burma. In addition to these, Tan has written two children's books: The Moon Lady (1992) and Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat (1994), which was turned into an animated series airing on PBS. She also appeared on PBS in a short spot encouraging children to write.Personal lifeAmy 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]Tan received her bachelor's and master's degrees in English and linguistics from San José State University, and later did doctoral linguistics studies at UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley.[4]She resides in Sausalito, California with her husband, Louis DeMattei, a lawyer whom she met on a blind date and married in 1974.Tan is a member of the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock band consisting of published writers, including Barbara Kingsolver, Matt Groening, Dave Barry, Kathi Kamen Goldmark, Sam Barry (Author), and Stephen King, among others.[5]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.。

《喜福会》电影英语作文母女关系的思考

《喜福会》电影英语作文母女关系的思考

《喜福会》电影英语作文母女关系的思考全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Special Bond Between Mothers and Daughters in the Movie "Joy Luck Club"Hi everyone! Today, I want to share with you my thoughts about the movie "Joy Luck Club" and the special bond between mothers and daughters. This movie is about the lives of four Chinese-American women and their relationships with their mothers. It taught me a lot about love, understanding, and the importance of family.The movie explores the challenges faced by both mothers and daughters as they try to connect with each other across generational and cultural gaps. It made me realize that even though we might sometimes have different opinions or ways of doing things, our mothers always have our best interests at heart. They want us to succeed and be happy in life.In the movie, we see how the mothers have their own dreams and aspirations, but they also want their daughters to have even better lives. They want us to learn from theirexperiences and avoid making the same mistakes they did. Sometimes, they may seem strict or demanding, but it is because they want us to grow up to be strong and independent individuals.One of the most touching moments in the movie is when the character June realizes that her mother, Suyuan, has been trying to connect with her all along. June discovers that her mother left behind a special gift for her, a jade pendant, which symbolizes her mother's love and hope for her. This scene made me realize that sometimes, we may not fully understand our mothers' intentions or the sacrifices they make for us, but their love is always there.Another important lesson I learned from the movie is the power of communication and understanding. Often, there are misunderstandings between mothers and daughters because they come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives. It is important for us to listen to each other, to try to see things from their point of view, and to have open and honest conversations. This can help bridge the gap between generations and strengthen the bond between mothers and daughters.The movie also taught me the importance of embracing our cultural heritage. In the movie, the mothers share their stories and traditions with their daughters, hoping to pass on their Chinese roots. It made me realize that our cultural heritage is something to be cherished and celebrated. It connects us to our past and shapes who we are today.In conclusion, the movie "Joy Luck Club" touched my heart and made me appreciate the special bond between mothers and daughters. It taught me about love, understanding, and the importance of family. I now understand that even though we may have different perspectives, our mothers always want what is best for us. It is important for us to communicate, listen, and embrace our cultural heritage. Let's cherish the love and wisdom that our mothers share with us, and remember to always be grateful for their presence in our lives.I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts about the movie "Joy Luck Club" and the special bond between mothers and daughters. Remember, our mothers are our greatest treasures!I hope you find this essay helpful!

Analysis of the causes of the conflict between mother and daughter from the Cultural Perspective In "the Joy Luck Club"电影《喜福会》向我们讲述了中国母亲与美国女儿人之间沟通障碍以及她们在东方信仰与西方价值观及传统文化与现代文明之间的争执。

母亲与女儿的交流障碍不仅仅反映出两代人之间的隔阂,更反映出一种文化差异。

母亲代表的逐渐消失的传统文化,女儿代表的则是日益壮大的新型文化;母亲们坚守着特殊的国家文化,她们想要传授一些中国文化给女儿们,但却以女儿们没有满足她们的期望而失落不已。

然而,女儿们在妈妈们的期望与美国的现实中打转,最终接受了主流文化,并且嘲笑和丢弃了以她们妈妈为代表的非主流文化,在这一系列冲突的过程中,她们不断地寻求自我和社会地位,并且努力去继承她们的文化价值。

母亲们努力去调解她们“中国式的过去”和“美国当代”,而女儿们也试着寻找着自主与忠于文化遗产之间的平衡点。

The movie "the Joy Luck Club" tells us communication obstacles between Chinese mother and American daughter and their belief in eastern and Western values and the dispute of traditional culture and modern civilization. Communication barriers between the mother and the daughter reflects not only the gap between two generations, but also reflects a cultural difference. The mother on behalf of the gradual disappearance ofthe traditional culture, the daughter is the representative of the newculture growing; mothers hold special national culture, they want to teachsome Chinese culture to the girls, but because the girls do not meet their expectations and disappointed. However, the daughters between the mothers about expectationsand American reality, finally accepted the mainstream culture, and ridiculed andrejected the non mainstream culture to their mother as the representative. In this seriesof conflicts, they continue to seek self and social status, and work hardto inherit their cultural value. Mothers try to mediate their "the past of China type" and "America contemporary", while the daughters try looking for autonomy and loyal to the balance between cultural heritage.2.1个人主义与集体主义对比2.1 the contrast of individualism and collectivism个人、集体主义是衡量文化变化的重要标尺,为人与人交流之间的文化异同提供了一个强有力的解说性框架。

喜福会电影英语观后感

喜福会电影英语观后感

喜福会电影英语观后感I recently watched the Chinese movie "喜福会" (Happiness) and it left a deep impression on me. The film tells the story of a family's struggles and triumphs in the face of adversity, and it explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of happiness. The movie is a beautiful portrayal of the human experience, and it left me feeling both moved and inspired.One of the most striking aspects of the film is its portrayal of the complexities of family dynamics. The central focus of the story is the relationship between a mother and her three daughters, and the film does an excellent job of capturing the intricacies of their interactions. The mother, played by the talented actress Zhao Shuzhen, is a strong and loving matriarch who has devoted her life to her daughters. Her unwavering dedication to her family is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices that parents make for their children.In addition to its exploration of family relationships, "喜福会" also delves into the theme of cultural identity. The film is set in the United States, and it follows the experiences of a Chinese immigrant family as they navigate the challenges of living in a foreign country. The cultural clash between the traditional values of the mother and the modern lifestyles of her daughters is a central conflict in the story, and it provides a thought-provoking commentary on the immigrant experience. As a viewer, I found myself reflecting on the complexities of cultural assimilation and the ways in which it can impact familial relationships.Furthermore, the film's exploration of the pursuit of happiness is both poignant and thought-provoking.

“即使我一言不发”——《喜福会》母女冲突与情深电影《喜福会》就像一棵树,四对母女的发展关系,又长成形状各异的枝权,错落有致又枝繁叶茂地在观众的观影过程中生长,构成一个奇瑰绚丽的影像世界。

片中用第一人称视角讲述了两代人———4位母亲和她们各自女儿的故事。

母亲均是来自中国大陆的第一代移民,她们固守中国传统文化,只能讲蹩脚的英语,与周围的美国生活格格不入;女儿们则生于美国长于美国,除了能讲一口流利的英语,还完全接受了美国的教育及生活方式,有些甚至嫁给了母亲眼中的“老外”。

时代、语言、经历和价值观的差异似乎是横在母女间难以逾越的鸿沟。

然而,由于爱的牵引,加之母亲的执著和女儿的努力,双方最终越过鸿沟,从不理解走向理解,从对抗走向接受。

从美国的情况看,华人在经历了漫长的磨难之后,开始在异域较为集中地居住和谋生,逐渐形成以唐人街为文化标识的华人区,其内部是同质的,而相对于外部则是异质的。

实际上,海外华人是将这种特殊的集聚地作为了文化缓冲地带。

他们作为少数族裔,在自己相对熟悉的文化环境中,在同乡、同族的协助中,可以获得更多的生存机会,找到某种文化归宿地和心灵的安全感,唤起共同的“集体记忆”。

但是,他们中的大多数人并不想一直住在唐人街,他们在争取机会,融入到美国的主流社会中。

然而不论他们的语言与举止和主流社会有多么接近,他们的眼睛和肤色决定了他们在这一社会必然处于的边缘地位,难以达到真正意义上的认同。

在美国,一张亚洲黄面孔很难被视为地道的“美国人”。

这是由一个庞大的社会机构及其话语形式造成的,这种命定的标签注定要戴在他们的身上,成为西方人眼中的“他者”。

认同(Identity)一词在英语中,有一致、身份、本体、正身、特性、同一性等含义,是民族和族裔研究中的重要概念。

移民由于他们生活环境的特殊性,使他们始终处于一种认同危机之中,自我与母国、自我与母体文化、自我与移居国文化之间的冲突使他们成为一群“流浪的缪斯”。

由于价值取向和文化立场的尴尬,使他们经常陷于漂泊并迷失方向,“我是谁?”成为他们永远的现在进行时。

You don't know, 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. 你不知道,你对我的影响力,你一句话,一个眼神,我就又像四岁 小孩子一样,哭着入睡,因为无论我做什么,都没办法让你高兴。 One day quit, next day play. Everything for you is this way. So smart, so esay, so fast. Not so esay anymore. 前一天退出,隔天又反悔,你以为凡事都这样,仗着聪明,就无往 不利,手到擒来。没那么简单了。

All of us like stairs, one step after another, going up, going down, but aways going the same way.
我们所有人都像阶梯,一阶跟着一阶,有上有下,永远重复着相同的宿 命。
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'm waiting like a tiger in the trees. Now ready to leap out and cut her spirit loose. 我所有的痛苦,我的遗憾,我把它们聚集在一起。我的女儿会听到我的 呼唤,即使我一言不发。她会爬上楼梯找到我。她会害怕,因为眼前一 片漆黑。但她内心会察觉,她的恐惧藏匿何处。她会知道我像一只守株 待兔的老虎,准备好释放她的灵魂。
