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. April 6, 2008
Touching Epic
I love this move!! I have watched it several times over the years and each time I watch it,I am struck by how relevant it is and how I identify differently with the characters given where I am in my life at the time. This moves is one of my top 10 favorites. February 26, 2008
Stories of a Lifetime.
I am in love with the beauty of this film. I love seeing the relationships between each mother and daughter. How the mothers tried so hard to make their daughters a certain way, to have a better life, and the daughters reacting negatively to it. I love see all the stories, even though a lot are heartwrenching. It's well acted and the musical score is beautiful. A warm, tearjerking movie. February 22, 2008
A Story that understands women
Joy Luck Club is a story about women: mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, mother and daughter in-lawas.
The characters are rich and full of flaws as well as strengths.
More, the storyline is truly interesting and engrossing. The relationship between each other and each friend rings true and ironic as only real life can be.
I loved when Waverly told her mother how unfair it was that she had so much power over her.
Mothers of teenagers and adults forget that no matter how old our children get, not only will they always remain our "babies"...we will always be their first love and their first shelter against the world.
