求《喜福会》的英文介绍

The film The Joy Luck Club is adapted from a best-seller written by Amy Tan. The film name, “The Joy Luck Club” actually is a party’s name in this story. This party was started by four Chinese female immigrations when they came to San Francisco in 1949. They often get together at this club to share their happiness and sadness with each other. In this film, the four mothers and their daughters tell the stories about their past experience. These interwoven stories present the cultural misunderstandings between the Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters. The mothers can not accept the daughters’ completely westernized life style. And the daughters are not satisfied with their Chinese born mothers when their life was interfered. Though they love each other very much, they could not remove the emotional barriers easily. The mothers are eager to dispel the misunderstandings and help their daughters when they get into trouble. Gradually they find a useful way to communicate with the daughters. That is to tell their Chinese stories to the daughters. With the mothers’ helps and encouragements, the daughters are courageous to face the difficulties and accept the Chinese culture. Eventually, the Chinese immigrant mothers and the American-raised daughters understand each other.
