The Review of The Joy Luck Club The Joy Luck Club refers to four women who immigrated from China to the United States long ago and the complicated relationship between their first generation American born daughters. I think this movie conveys strong feminist ideals. In this movie, both mothers and daughters discover their sense of self-worth in their different ways after suffering the pain. As they are traditional female in the society, they have to break with tradition, and seek the way to their fate instead of passive waiting. In old China, arranged marriage was very common and none of women could escape from it. A woman’s social status sometimes depended on the gender of her baby. But in this movies we can see feminist awake, for instant, Lindo escaped from an arranged marriage in which she was unable to make choices for herself. In my opinion, Lindo is the intelligence and strength of the female characters clearly represents the strong women of feminism. She was ill treated by her new family and had very few rights and freedoms. To my surprised, she didn’t surrender. She thought that she was an independent person planned to escape the marriage. Through her strength,determination and intelligence she was able to escape to a better and free life. Lindo' s story clearly represents the ideas of feminism and independence. On the other hand, I totally understand that a successful marriage must be consisted of independence, respect, understanding and freedom. I am also thankful that I am a modern woman who needn’t go through the hardship like the women in old China. As a female, I am also interested in Feminism. From my perspective, sexual discrimination does exist even today. The society expects different of men and women. Women are always considered to be sweet, considerate and thoughtful. On the contrary, men should be aggressive and brave. A majority of women may have the concept that I can’t do that because I am not a man and I am not as strong as men. Some folks take it for granted that men can make outstanding construction and women accept men’s ideas. To certain degree, this movie change the way I view women. It encourages women to fight against bravely irrational tradition. I totally agree the idea that being a wife and a mother should not be the only role a woman plays in the world. Women contribute a lot to society and family and we deserve recognition.
