福会》所讲述的是四位华人移民妇女和她们国的儿女各自之间的故事。小说的题目《喜》原是母亲们打麻将的聚会。这些妇女移居美国已有几十年,但她们仍念念不忘从小受过的传统教育,恪守着中国几千年来渗透于妇女血液之中、几乎已成为天性的封建男权的思想。她们共同的理想就是要严格教育、管束自己的女儿,使她们能逃脱自己这一辈女人的命运,成为她们眼中幸福的女人。然而,对于母亲的管束,女儿们则以各自不同的方式一味反抗,在这个种族、阶级、性别不平等的美国社会里,两代女性上演了一出由相互争斗到殊途同归、相互认同的悲喜剧。在这出悲喜剧中,给人留下印象最深的不是人物口中道出的事情,而是那些她们无法启口、无法触及、讳莫如深的事情,是沉默背后的东西。在这里,沉默已经变成了一个象征,它那巨大的毁灭性力量摧毁着女性赖以生存的自尊、自信和勇气,使她们在沉重的压抑之中丧失生存的能力。然而一旦打破沉默,这毁灭性的力量就会立刻消失,被压抑已久的人性就将得到复苏,平衡和谐的关系就会得到恢复。《喜福会》中母女们的悲欢故事大部分都是以沉默和打破沉默这条主线编织起来的。
例如在吴苏圆和吴晶梅这对母女之间,许多年的时间就是在沉默中度过的。母亲在女儿童年时曾坚决而“狠心”地以做清洁工为代价让女儿有机会去学习钢琴,希望把她塑造成一个有别于自己、能为白人社会所接受的高雅女性。而女儿却“不懂事”地一味反抗母亲的意志、母权的统治。在一次华人社区举办的少年天才表演比赛上,女儿演奏得一塌糊涂,让争强好胜的母亲当着亲朋好友丢尽了脸面。回到家里,女儿满以为母亲要朝她大发雷霆。然而,这时的母亲却一反常态地平静如水,缄口不语,脸上一副“毫无内容”的麻木表情,沉默得令人恐惧。没有受到训斥的女儿的表现同样令人吃惊:面对母亲的沉默她的反应既不是吃惊,也不是轻松,更不是害怕,而是“失望”!因为这样她就没有办法“也朝她(母亲)大喊大叫,把心中的痛苦哭出来,摔回到她身上去”。在这里,沉默就像长在母女心中的一块恶性肿瘤,把双方都折磨得痛苦不堪。这件事情过去之后的很多年里,它一直是母女之间不敢提及的禁忌话题。女儿再也不弹琴了,母亲也不坚持让她弹了。琴盖锁住了女儿的痛苦,同时也锁住了母亲的希望。沉默中女儿长大了,母亲也衰老了。沉默的结果是“母亲和我(晶梅)从未互相理解过。我们相互翻译对方的意思,我听到的内容似乎总比她说的少,而母亲听到的却总比我说的多”。相互间的沉默和误解持续了很多年。在女儿过三十岁生日之时,母亲把这架闲置了多年的钢琴作为生日礼物送给了女儿,但这已经是母亲临终的愿望了。当女儿再次打开琴盖,弹起往日觉得很难的一支曲子时,她竟惊奇地发现这首曲子并不像她想象的那样难了。母女之间的这些无言的行动象征着沉默的被打破和两代人之间最终的理解与谅解。然而,代价毕竟太大了。它牺牲掉了母亲一生对女儿的期望和女儿半生的欢乐,并在女儿的心灵上留下了永远无法愈合的伤疤。至此,我们不难看出沉默所蕴藏的巨大的破坏力。 值得我们注意的第二个例子是莹映·圣克莱尔和莉娜·圣克莱尔这对母女之间的故事。她们的沉默已经不仅仅是话语的消失,而是整个人的消失,是对自我的不断贬低和最终的抹杀。这是男权社会中女性终极的悲哀。可叹的是当母亲的一代已经失去了自我之后,女儿又在不知不觉中重复着母亲的故事,尽管她曾经是那么激烈地反抗过母亲的意志。故事的一开始作者就以母亲的口吻写道: 许多年来我总是把嘴巴闭得紧紧的,不让自己的愿望流露出来。因为我沉默得太久,女儿已经听不到我的声音。她坐在她那豪华的游泳池旁,听到的唯一的声音就是她那索尼牌随身听中发出的声音和她那身材高大无比的丈夫(的声音)…… 这么多年来我总是把自己隐蔽起来,像个小小的影子般跑来跑去,这样就没有人能抓得到我。我的动作是那么的隐蔽,以至于女儿对我都熟视无睹。她所看到的就是她的购物单,她的记帐本和她那张整齐的桌子上摆着的扭曲的烟灰缸。 我想告诉她(女儿)的只有这句话:我们俩人都已经消失了。没人能看见我们,我们也看不见别人;没人能听到我们的声音,我们也听不到别人的声音。没有人认识我们。(Tan,1993:64) 正如这位母亲的这段内心独白所描述的,她为了掩饰自己屈辱而辛酸的过去——无情的丈夫另觅新欢,腹内的婴儿被她为报复丈夫而狠心地杀掉,独自逃出家庭,寻找生路——在受尽了生活的折磨之后她变成了一只“老虎”,一个“看不见的幽灵”,一个能未卜先知、看穿一切、预测一切灾难的女巫般的人物。(这样的女预言家或女巫般的人物在美国少数民族女作家的作品中也常见,如托尼·莫瑞森、爱丽斯·沃克等人的作品中的母亲形象,这一点也非常耐人寻味)。尽管她后来碰到并嫁给了善待她但却不了解她的美国丈夫,随他移居美国,离开了恶梦般萦绕在她心中的故乡和过去发生的一切,但此时的她已经沉默得太久,失去了生命力: 我怎能不爱这个人呢(她的美国丈夫)?但这是一种幽灵般的爱。明明双手紧紧地搂住了他,却根本没有碰到他;明明一碗满满的米饭摆在眼前,却一点胃口都没有,我不知道什么是饿,也不晓得什么是饱。(Tan,1993:286) 而正是这样一个沉默了半生,感情、精神上几近麻木、死亡的母亲在看到女儿面对的不幸婚姻时,却出于母爱的本能果断地打破了自己的沉默: 我要用这尖锐的痛去穿透女儿厚厚的皮,把她体内的“虎气”也释放出来。她必定会反抗。因为这是老虎的天性。但我终究会战胜她,把我的精神输入她的体内。这就是母亲爱女儿的爱法。(Tan,1993:286) 母亲为了拯救女儿准备采取行动了,那么女儿呢?这位听着索尼牌随身听,喝着可口可乐,在母亲眼中只知道物质享受的新一代华人妇女的命运又是怎样的呢?她的故事远没有母亲的那么一清二楚、黑白分明。她自认为在学业、智力、工作能力等各方面都能与丈夫平分秋色,甚至在某些方面胜他一筹:是她出主意协助丈夫创办了他们自己的建筑设计公司。因此她认为无论从哪个角度来说她都“应该得到这样一个丈夫”。而事实上她的婚姻,以至于她的整个生活都在美国式的“帐目均摊”的貌似平等的游戏规则下悄无声息地松动着、瓦解着。她在游戏之中竟渐渐忘记了游戏最初的目的,失去了是非观念和自我意识,到最后甚至幻想以经济上的忍让与多付出来换取丈夫的感情。失败的结果使她完全丧失了自尊和自信。面对男权的威慑,她深深地感到了自身的嬴弱和无助,变得束手无策,哑口无言: 我开始哭泣,我知道这是哈罗德一贯讨厌的。我一哭他就会不舒服,发脾气。他认为我这是在耍手腕儿。可我真的忍不住,因为我意识到自己根本就不清楚这场争吵最初的起因了。我是想让哈罗德站在我一边吗?是想少付一些那一人一半的费用吗?我真是想结束俩人之间这种凡事都算得一清二楚的生活方式吗?即使真的那样,我们不还是会照样在心里算这些帐吗?那样我不就会觉得更糟糕,更不公平吗?…… 这些想法全不对头,全讲不通,我一样也说不准,整个人都陷入了绝望。(Tan,1993:180) 莉娜提出的实在是个令人困惑而又发人深思的问题。的确,女权主义最初的目的是要在政治、经济、社会地位等方面争取男女平等。用在我国流行了很长时间的一句话来说,女性的解放很大程度上就意味着“男女同工同酬”。我们姑且不谈这个理想是否已经实现。就算是真的已经实现,女性就真的从此能与男性平分秋色了吗?莉娜的故事就是对这个问题最好的回答。锱铢必究的形式上的平等掩盖了问题的实质,那就是更隐藏、更根深蒂固的男权主义思维定式和人们早已习焉不察的男权观念。莉娜对这令她有苦难言的男权观念的沉默与忍让把她推入了一个无言、无奈、无望的境地。一段婚姻葬送在“男女平等”的生活方式之下,这难道不是对某些人头脑中的“平等”概念具有讽刺意味的新阐释吗?可以断言,女性的这种沉默才是女权主义者和全社会更应备加关注的现象。在这里,“分摊帐目”变成了一个意味深长的讽刺,一个在更广阔的背景下具有实际意义的暗喻。 在《喜福会》中,沉默的主题似乎无处不在,但又仿佛是作者在漫不经心中流露出来的。书中的女性不仅是沉默的受害者,也是将沉默锻造成一把锋利无比的剑去互相伤害的杀手。小说中的琳多和魏芙丽这对母女就是最典型的代表。女儿魏芙丽少年时代很有下棋的天赋,每逢与人对弈都犹如有神人在暗中相助,无往而不胜。她在学校和市、州级的比赛中都捧回过奖杯,这令做母亲的颇为自豪。她走在街上,逢人便拿出登有女儿照片的杂志封面向人炫耀。这引起了女儿的反感。争吵之后,母亲一连几天缄口不语,对女儿下棋的事情不闻不问。最后,女儿沉不住气了,主动与母亲讲和,又继续参加比赛。然而,奇怪的是从此以后她身上的那股神奇的力量不见了。她一输再输,直到最后不得不放弃了下棋,从一个天才的棋手变成了个“普通人”。这不能不说是一种超现实的描写。女儿身上神奇的力量自然是母亲所赋予的,而母亲的沉默竟永远地夺去了她的天赋。在母亲的眼中,女儿的生活是透明的,一切都逃不出她的眼睛。但是,当女儿带着她参观自己新布置的住所,希望间接地告诉她自己已再婚的消息,并迫切希望得到她的首肯与祝福时,母亲却作出一副充耳不闻、事不关己的样子,或者顾左右而言它,或者干脆不予理睬,把女儿悬在了沉默的半空中,使她受到了比来自话语更加深重的伤害。对这一点女儿有着切肤的体会:“我妈妈懂得怎样让人痛苦,这种痛苦比任何其他形式的痛苦都更加深重”。这位母亲能让“白色变成黑色,黑色变成白色”,让女儿经过精心调整、自以为满不错的新生活——包括新婚的丈夫、自己的女儿与新继父之间和谐的关系、丈夫送她的贵重礼物裘皮大衣、精心布置的家;一切的一切都变得一无是处、毫无价值可言。母亲利用沉默这把利剑把女儿戳得鲜血淋漓、体无完肤,而更可悲的是女儿从母亲身上继承来的那不可救药的心理情结(非要得到别人的肯定才能生活得心安理得)。一个非要不可,一个执意不给,这场不见硝烟的沉默战争使母亲和女儿都身心交瘁,伤痕累累,在双方感情上造成了本不该有的深深的伤害。一天,当女儿下定决心要去找母亲说个清楚时,她才在母亲睡熟的时候霍然发现,自己那强大的“敌人”原来不过是一个毫无攻击力,甚至是不堪一击的老妇人,这是多少年来她第一次发现母亲的真实面孔。经过一番母女间推心置腹的交谈。女儿终于认识到: 真的,我终于懂了,不是懂了她刚才所说的话,而是那些原本就是真实的事情。 我明白了自己一直是为何而战的:是为自己,一个被吓坏了的孩子,一个老早以前就逃到了一个自认为安全的地方躲起来的孩子。我躲在这看不见的掩体后边,心里很清楚对面藏着的是什么:是她从侧面可能发起的攻击、她的那些秘密武器,还有她那洞察我一切弱点的高超本领。然而,就在我把头伸出掩体,向外窥视的那一瞬间,我终于发现了那里的一切:那是一个用铁锅当盔甲,用毛衣针作利剑的老妇人,一个因久等女儿的邀请而不得,正在变得脾气暴躁的老妇人。(Tan,1993:204) 这是一段多么形象、生动的描述!母女间多年感情、心灵上相互间的沉默给对方造成了难以弥补的创伤。而这沉默一经打破,战争的阴影也随之散去了,取而代之的是两代女性之间可贵的重新认识和相互理解,是女性的觉醒。她们终于认识到,在一个“种族、性别歧视的世界里,女性之间应该成为朋友,成为同盟”。对于书中的两代女性来讲,要想相互破译对方的真实思想——那些掩盖在各种形式的沉默之下的真实思想是件非常艰难的事情。但无论怎样,她们都以各自的方式打破了令人窒息的沉默,年轻一代的女性从母亲身上汲取了精神的营养与力量,以积极乐观的态度面对新的生活。这正是小说的结尾处吴晶梅在母亲去世之后代表母亲去大陆寻找她失散多年的双胞胎姐姐一幕所象征的。三姐妹在母亲的故土上终于搂在一起,多年的归乡之梦、母女和姐妹团圆之梦都随着沉默的打破而实现了。这是让人多么欣喜的一幕! 谭恩美是华裔女作家中的第二代,她与王玉雪(Jade Snow Wang)和汤婷婷这些年长于她的华人女作家一样,沿袭了母女关系这一写作题材。她们都各自从自己母亲的身上汲取了写作灵感和素材。这正是其成功的原因之一。在她们的作品中,“母亲的苛求所代表的就是男性的苛求”,是男权社会渗透于她们意识深层的自我贬低、自我排斥、自我抹杀的传统观念,是一种可怕的集体无意识。在这样的观念之下,她们自然永远无法达到母亲的要求,也无法正视原本的自我。无论她们怎样努力改变自己,以何种标准改变自己,其结果却总是更多的失败和更大的痛苦。这是一些华人女性最大的悲哀。从这个意义上说,《喜福会》给我们的启示之一就是:在美国,所谓的多元文化,也就是亚文化与主流文化保持一致的新格局,从本质上来说不过是一场掩人耳目的把戏,是对亚文化的同化和心理侵略的掩盖。那么,与其他少数民族的女性一样,华裔女性只有重新找回原本的自我,打破文化的沉默和性别的沉默,按照自己的方式自尊、自信、自主地面对生活,才能最终进入“喜与福”的境界。 最后,再让我们回到本文开头提出的一个问题:在看到了作者通过她的16位女性人物一一讲述的那些埋在她们心底的故事,了解了她们深深的沉默背后的心曲,对那些我们曾经那么习以为常、司空见惯的问题作出了新的思考之后,无论你是男性还是女性,身处西方还是东方,你还能把这部小说当作一块轻松可口的小点心来消化吗?这里,我们不禁又想起了海明威那著名的冰山理论,我想它在这里也同样适用:如果人的话语世界占他整个世界的十分之三,那么有谁因此就能忽视那冰面之下十分之七的沉默世界的力量呢?

导演是一美国长大的中国儿.呵呵~我想,小说里面大部故事是她了,或者说学来了.因为小说中那几位妈妈所碰到呢男人,全部都是男权社会下的典型男性写照.当然不是说所有的男人都是这个样子,大确实是一个普遍的问题.影片中的几位母亲都为自己的地位做出了一个正确的抉择,移民美国.当她们走出自己过去的生活,过去的阴影,她们开始期望她们的女儿也有一个幸福的婚姻,幸福的结局.当然,这些女儿们都开始了自己的全新的美国梦.虽然,妈妈们仍然带有中国一些比较保守的传统想法,可是也接受了女儿们的开放.而影片中我不喜欢的部分则是,有几位母亲,为了自己的生活,放弃了自己的孩子,那么幼小的生命.如果我作为一个母亲,是绝对不能原谅自己的.孩子是自己的,自己的生活也是自己的.那么,既然决定了要这个孩子,就不能放弃.她们也许是没有选择,可是她们却也不用选择死亡.有时这个社会很残酷,但是总的来说它在进步.进步中的牺牲品又肯定不在少数.美国相对国内,它很进步,因为它已经经历过了这个特殊的历史时期.他们曾经也有非常严重的男权问题,现在也有只不过不那么严重.当然,一个社会的进步,法制建设要紧密相关,我们需要看到的就是像故事里的那些女孩儿一样,为自己的生活说一句话,为自己的生活选择一个最好的答案.求《喜福会》英文版影评!!!
Growing up was never easy. Growing up would be anything but easy if you came all the way from China to America Based on Amy Tan's novel, The Joy Luck Club deals with four different stories about women growing up in China. Each story contains a mother, and a daughter, who usually have different kinds of relationships with each other.The Joy Luck Club doesn't waste our time with unnecessary build-up or scenes that delay the moments of drama. The four stories (actually divided into eight: one for the daughter and one for the mother) are short, so we don't have to watch an over-drawn introduction to the characters and settings. This is a good thing.What else makes The Joy Luck Club so successful is the wonderful and moving dialogue! Amy Tan definitely gave the book her fullest when writing it. What's the most moving line in the whole movie? Who knows? The only flaw is that the movie is too confusing! It's hard to remember the characters and tell them apart from each other. That's pretty much the only thing that got me down.The Joy Luck Club is a work of art. If you haven't seen it, go and watch it today!IMDB

My Reflection of The Joy Luck Club I wonder that when seeing the name The Joy Luck Club most people would treat it as a story filled with happiness and love. In fact, besides love, it is also about the cultural conflicts between four daughters and their mothers. The film is based on the best seller by Amy Tan of the same name. It shows us the lives of four Chinese women who were immigrants to America during the 1950s. As a mother, each of them has a lot of problems with their daughter because of cultural conflicts. The misunderstanding of love between the mothers and their American-raised daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity touch every audiences heart. Though I was also attracted by something with extensiveness——I want to talk about some points about the language. I had learnt that what are high context communication and low context communication and what is different between them. The former is one in which most of the information is internalized in a person, while very little in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message——we must guess what the real meaning of the words is; while the other is the opposite. Chinese just the stands for the former and English is the representative of the latter. An interesting scene in the movie just shows us this. When Waverly’s boyfriend Richie had a dinner with Waverly’s big Chinese family for the first time, he made some stupid mistakes. He brought his typical American habit when the they were eating and he couldn’t understand what Lindo( Waverly’s mother) mean when she said He has an appetite”. When Lindo brought a dish which she was very proud of, as a Chinese, she still said some formulae that the dish was not salty enough and it was too bad to eat; that suggested that everyone around the table should speak highly of her dish after their first degustation; while Richie didn’t understand that Chinese all like to be modest and he criticized Lindo’s cooking, just saying what he thought in his mind directly. What Richie did led to a very embarrassing atmosphere in the dinner and made Lindo very disappointed anddisgraced. The misunderstanding of a different culture and a different language is the mainly reason causing the awkward occasion. If Richie had known what he had faced with was a group of people with different culture and saying a high context language, and had done some preparation for that different traditional Chinese dinner, he could have avoid to making so many foolish mistake. To understand what a Chinese mean you could not just follow the superficial message transmitted by his words, instead, you should connect those words to his cultural background and the situation you are in. By appreciating the movie we could realize the culture of a people from their language. In this movie the cultural conflicts between the mothers’ traditional Chinese concept and the daughters’ up-to-date American concept are fully described by their dialogues and soliloquies. In conclusion, a language is really the mirror of a culture; and if we want to understand the marrow of a culture we could appreciate its language. 本回答被网友采纳如何写《喜福会》的英语影评?
The first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant things—conflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other. The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, You can’t make me!” Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words. This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did. I didn’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear. Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter. The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinks that her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating. I am deeply moved by this scene: Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, “You don't know, you don't know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I'm four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you.” And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, “Now, you make me happy.” Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness. Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them. Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shout at the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness. View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Club may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation. 本回答被网友采纳求joy luck club 介绍 影评
喜福会 The Joy Luck Club 剧情简介 · · · · · 影片美的四对华女为中心,分别描述她们几庭在近百年来的遭遇,从而对比出中国女性从受尽辛酸屈辱的祖母辈逐渐成长为具有独立人格和经济地位的新一代女性。 主要情节是温明娜饰演的琼原来跟母亲有很深的误会,但当她代替已去世的母亲回中国大陆探望两个当年在抗战逃难时被遗弃的姊姊时,却深深感受到上一代的苦难和割断不了的亲情。================喜福会是四个异国女性定期聚会、打牌的活动,慢慢就成了彼此倾诉心声的场所,她们都已经定居大洋彼岸多年,伴着时光的流逝,皱纹和白发已经慢慢涌现。她们在渐渐老去,老到无力再抗争自己的命运和生活,心里却依然记挂着曾经纠结的往事,她们希望自己的故事在后一代的身上传承下去,那些故事源自那个古老的国度,那是她们的故土,也是她们心灵栖息的地方。 我喜欢这部电影,不单单是因为它的细腻,更在乎的是其中绵延而出的史诗感,它不是那种荡气回肠的快意,而是弥漫于心底久久不散的一种共鸣。这是一个东方人的故事,手法却是西化,即使拍到中国望族的府第,也没有那种曲径通幽的纵深,而几近是一种平面化的书写,片中的几位女性,或出身高贵,或出身低微,心中的角落里总藏着一段故事。编导用不断的倒叙、插叙的手法回眸时光,并逐一揭开谜底,抖落出时间的灰烬,这是一段女性挣扎叛逆的历史,也是一首写给女人的抒情长诗。 谭恩美的这个故事有明显的经线和纬线,经线是地域、国别、语言、文化,纬线是时间、年轮、代沟、记忆。这些经纬线纵横交错,编织出的一个东方色彩、西方气质的画卷,围绕不同文化的理解总是有些“割裂”的,《喜福会》也更像是一个给西方人观看的“东方电影”,如同李安的《推手》或者《喜宴》,让人觉察到文化碰撞的那点点星火。事实上没有什么比文化上的割裂更有力,所以片中的四个新生代女人比她们的母亲更加独立、更加叛逆,她们操着一口流利的英文,处在一个自由的国度,过着自己选择的生活,到头来暮然回首却发现自己仍然是弱者。 女人是这个社会的第二性,不管是旧社会的妇女,还是新时代的女性,都逃不掉一种附属品的地位。民国时代的她们受尽了屈辱,或卖身为奴,或嫁做小妾,或摊上一个风流成性的老公,过的都是凄惨的生活,导演用大量的俯、仰镜头来表示这种地位上的差别,摄影机下的女性总是处于一种被俯视的角度,那是她们的脆弱、无奈和疯狂;处于仰视镜头下的,依稀是那些男人,那些代表正统的家族长辈,那些象征权威的祖宗灵牌。到了现代的时空,女性解放自我,社会仍然固守着传统的法则,女人和男人收入差距太大,AA制就显得太过牵强和难熬,还有女人有幸嫁入豪门,等待她的仍然是被抛弃的命运。Tags:喜福会电影,求电影《喜福会》的影评,求《喜福会》英文版影评!
