I remember quite clearly seeing the movie The Joy Luck Club for the first time. The strength of the 4 women who individually flee China in the 1940's left a huge impression on me. In the movie we follow these 4 women's desperate stuggles in China and their subsequent immmigration to America. The daughters of the 4 women, raised in America, are equally compelling. Cultures clash as generations clash! A very entertaining and thought provoking movie.

I have seen the movie "joy luck club" and it is such a great movie. It is about four women who migrated to America from China. The movie goes on as their offsprings get to learn about the four womens' struggles and it is great even up to a point of tear-shedding. I fully recomend it and I'm gonna be there to watch because i love watching it no matter how many times i've watched it

The Joy Luck Club is a great movie, but the book is much better. For those of you who have read and have really enjoyed Lucky Child, I highly recommend the Joy Luck Club as well. As mentioned in this post, it has very similar themes to Lucky Child, such as learning the value of family and adjusting to an extremely different cultural setting.
