 One of the Best! July 27, 2008
The Joy Luck Club is such a great find. A chic flic! This movies leaves you crying and smiling and engulfed in thesse womens lifes. Worth sitting down and watching. Great rainy day movie.
It will make you laugh, cry and sometimes both! June 18, 2008
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!
From one generation to the next June 12, 2008
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!
A Mother's Wish Fulfilled May 22, 2008
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.
Thought provoking..... April 20, 2008
Do you know what your worth as a human is? This video explores just that in a generational line. Brilliant movie. I watch is often.
