We watched the Joy Luck CLub. Which I found to be amazing. The story surrounds four women who all have daughters. It starts off with the daughter of one mother who had past away. And she question why her mother brought her up the way she did. Making her involved in the Asian Community, since they now lived in the United States. Why she wanted her to be so popular so she could brag to her friends about her.
     The movie is so significant. I feel like I can use the term, "like mother like daughter." Each woman went over the past life they had in China. Some better than others. Some didn't get the chance to be with their mothers, and some were left behind in arranged marriages they did not want to take part in. By the end of their flashback you could see the despair on the women faces as they remembered hard times in China. One woman going through phases where she wouldn't talk or eat, she would just stare at the ceiling remembering the harsh marriage she had and actually killing the only son she had birth. Though she seems much happier in their marriage now that she is in America, she still thinks about the hardship and regrets that decision.
     The mothers try so hard to give their daughters the life they didn't have. I think because the girls are so accustom to American way would be the reason they rebel and don't really want to take part in what they think is the Chinese life, but if only they really knew what their mothers suffered and experienced in China. I really like the movie because you saw the lives of both the mother and the daughters. Though the mothers pressured the girls into marrying someone they saw fit, in the end they just really wanted for them to be happy.
