喜福会英语读后感

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.

喜福会英文读后感

reading the novel is not the first time of my knowing the joy luck club . when i watched the film , the meaning of the title , the theme of the novel , the reason for the arrangement of stories from four mothers and their daughters and other important things were all unknown to me . but i knew that was my type for it is about feelings between mothers and daughters , and especially chinese speaking eglish .

amy tan , a chinese american writer , is the author of the book in which she explors the mother-daughter relationships . originally , the relationships between mother and daughter seem to be quite complex in a family but in amy tan's work , it is perfectly typical for its portrayal of conflicts between the traditional chinese mothers speaking shabby english and the open wholly americanized daughters who just wear a chinese face but speak fluent english . i never think it is richly dramatical , and instead these kinds of conflicts , in fact , truly ecists in many chinese immigrants' family . the novel is written impressively and deeply especially , i think , in understanding of mothers' love for their daughters for reasons that the previous experience of her with her mother provided the basis for her novel . it is said that the exprience of anthor is similar to that of jingmei woo . maybe , the novel implies the deep and complex feelings of auther for her mother and her closest relatives in china .

it gives me a greatly deep impression that the book is begun with feathers from a thousand li away . it penetrates the mothers' hope and love for their daughters through a swan's feather . through the old woman's words "in america i will have a daughter just like me. but over there nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husband's belch. over there nobody will look down on her, because i will make her speak only perfect american english. and over there she will always be too full to swallow any sorrow! she will know my meaning, because i will give her this swan—a creature that became more than what was hoped for." and the mothers' former tragic sufferings , we will find that all the mothers are in hope of their daughters never suffering from their sufferings . and the mothers waited, year after year, for the day , they could tell their daughters it is their hope through a feather of the swan in perfect american english . at first , it is a little difficult to understand the reason for these words . however , through the whole novel , in fact , you will find the old woman represents the four mothers , the feather of swan embodies the hope of mothers for their daughters . these sentences show implicitly the feelings of author and her understandings for mothers . in fact , in the joy luck club , the feather indeed is gained by jingmei woo . and from the beginning to the end ,the feather has been existing .

only if one high-quality novel , like a perfect verse , needs you spending much time reading once more , you will understand something . i thought that the novel is loosely plotted and is in disorder . but the fact verifies that i am wrong . through the whole story , the novel begins with the death of jingmei's mother and ends in jingmei visiting china to see the twin-half sisters whom her mother had been forced to abandon when the japanese attacked china many years ago . what's more , in detail , the stories of four mothers and four daughters have relative connections in theme about love between them and the mothers' hope for their daughters . and the theme shows the comflicts and harmonization between different cultures .then i think why the author titled the novel " joy luck club " . i am puzzled by it and the purpose of writer . the name of club made mention of by jingmei's mother . and the author directly titling the novel the name of their meeting implies her feelings for her mother . i can guess that the title originated from a kind of hope or belief . according to mothers' former sufferings , they were not happy . even at the present , all of them hides the previous tragic experiences . maybe , the club is a place where they can pretend to be happy or avoid the past memory or worries or even the shock of culture .

reading the novel is as we are reading our life and then think our past , present and futere . especially , the conflict between waverly jang and her mother impresses me most . waverly is a woman who is quite independent-mined and intelligent , but her mother's constant criticism is terribly annoying . she once had a gift for international chess.however , when she realized her mother taking advantage of her achievement and talent to show off in public , especially to the strangers , she felt terribly ashamed and annoyed . she shouted to " you can not make me " . from then on , her mother felt cold at waverly and were particularabout her favorite things . in fact , i think waverly felt sacred subconsciously at letting her mother down and something that she did was aimed at flattering her mother . when waverly brought her boyfriend , rich , to her families , her mother just smiled but she still was particular about rich's appearance , having many spots on his face . description about the conflicts of manners between chinese tradition and american notions has given me a greatly deep impression and quite interesting . these words of " and then he had helped himself to big portions of the shrimp and snow peas , not realizing he should have taken only a polite spoonful, until everybody had had a morsel . " vividly express the american character of being casual which counts as discourtesy in china . the part of rich criticizing her mother's cooking is quite funny and impressive . our chinese habit of making disparaging remarks seems to be extremely common . being modest and avoiding showing off are parts of chinese traditional manners . her mother complaining about " this dish not salty enough , no flavor " , in fact , was a cue to eat some and proclaim it it the best she had ever made . but the rich did not understand . from the following description of her mother being horrified , i judged that her mother was strongly objective against rich and even their marriage . waverly also had such an opinion . but i am wrong and from their conversation i understand something more important . mother is the only one that understands their daughters or sons in the world.and none of the mothers do not love their children . and the heaty conversattion can make a strong bridge between the different generation or even the peonple from the different cultures . i find that if you would not like to tell your hearty words out , others are not able to know what you are and what you think . people each have different opinions about the same things . waverly had thought that her mother disapproved of her marriage and hated her rich . however , her mother's meaningful words surprised waverly and even me . just be particular about who i really care for and love. it occured to me that whoever we hurt is always who we really love for reasons that others would not care for our complaint . yes , who will care for those who you do not love ? the answer is known by us fron the beginning to the end . it is the love for waverly that her mother has been showing her . waverly , a wholly americanized girl , never trully knew her mother and was ignorant of the love for her . indeed , the language and the culture did make a great difference in the exchange of feelings , which is a terribly high barrier between waverly and her mother , also between other three mothers and their daughters . but love and understandings , finally will prevail over others .

personally , through the whole novel , the conflict between mothers and daughters , virtually , is that of the cultures between the east and the west . mothers represent the classic, traditional chinese culture but the daughters are the symbol of just , free , open and modern american one , which are two kinds of contradictory elements . however , through the whole novel , it is easier to find that finally they can understand each other and be in harmony . when jing-mei saw her twin-half sisters , she was surprised at this kind of familiarity . "and now i also see what part of me is chinese. it is so obvious. it is my family. it is in our blood. after all these years, it can finally be let go. " shows that jing-mei understood her mother's stubbornness and love and was struck by mother's greatness . the resolution of the contradiction shows that the cultures of the east and the west can be in harmony with each other .

简爱读后感英语

jane eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. after we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, jane eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:

we remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

we remember her pursuit of justice. it’s like a companion with the goodness. but still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

we remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. in her opinion, everyone is the same at the god’s feet. though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.

we also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

when we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.

actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. and some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when miss ingram met jane eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. but as the little governess had said: ‘do you think, because i am poor, obscure, plain, and little, i am soulless and heartless? you think wrong!’ this is the idea of equality in jane eyre’s mind. god hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, god gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.

in my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no more. for a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as kahill gibran has said, that ‘beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’。 i can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.

her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.

喜福会读后感（一）

一直以来很少有机会看电影。这次完整地看了一部荣获柏林电影节银熊奖的《喜福会》，让我深受感染，华裔导演与演员，也可算是中国式的好莱坞片吧。

影片讲述了四对母女的命运与生活，纯真的自我心理剖析让听了很了然。四个苦命的中国女人在国内历经磨难分别去美国，再跟美国人创造的第二次婚姻后又有了各自的女儿。恰好，四个女人也成了多年的朋友，各自情谊都很深，影片开始真正切入主体是母亲对各自女儿谈起早年的时光，悲惨的命运，吃人的礼教，薄薄的人情，不公正的婚姻，赤裸裸的封建压迫与惨昧的性，把整个近代中国社会刻画得淋漓尽致。总之，个个故事都是悲喜交加，从母亲的母亲再到婆家的家史，从逃沦的岁月到安逸的晚年，从中国的重庆到美国的旧金山，画面不停地在两地之间转换，故事也一个比一个更惨，更出人意料，把整个人的心都和剧中人物连接了起来，这她们担心，为她们惋惜，为中国的过去悲哀，也为人性感到惨淡，剧中的光线也跟周围环境谐调的很好，明就亮的出奇，像一面镜子，暗时凄凉可怕，病态的中国也许就是这样吧！

这四个母亲都是在中国出生成长的，在中国遭到不平等待遇，有的是公婆家的劣待，有的是娘家的排斥，有的是亲丈夫的暴力对待，在这样一个大黑锅下容易使人的性格变质，温柔的也会变为严酷的，渐渐地，她们觉得自己不适合这个时代，这个环境，于是走上了逃亡与流浪之路，从中国一直漂到美国，再也不回中国，把自己的后半辈寄托在他乡，把自己的生命延续到了异乡。她们不能让自己的后代重蹈自己的前辙，于是当她们的女儿长大成人时，母亲对女儿的婚姻格外观注，生怕女儿会走错。母亲毕竟走过坎坷比女儿多，于是第二段故事就出来了。女儿的不幸与母亲的担忧构成了一网他乡的浪清，更是对资本主义社会加以揭露，人情与金钱，善恶与美丑，挚热与冷漠，从面构勒出现代社会的不幸，现代人之间的沟壑，这种不幸的生活遭遇达到一定程度就会爆发的资本主义社会的弊端，终究会穿过极限，整个影片也加以预示，最后在一片亲人的眼泪中结束了影片。

这是一部生活性戏剧，揭露性十分强烈的影片。

喜福会读后感（二）

飞鸿早期的片子看得不多，多半都是从这里的视频中看个片段。出於各种原因，对大多数角色印象不深。今天看了喜福会，终於看到了飞鸿表演里程上的闪光点。

盈盈这个角色本身并不讨喜，却有着很多挖掘和发挥的空间。飞鸿也仅仅出演了她的青年时代，在我看到的飞鸿为数不多的片段中（也许已是她所有的出场次数了），她将盈盈几个不同阶段的心态表现得淋漓尽致：少女情怀的朦胧和克制，（顺便提一下，她的少女装扮十分清丽，惊艳！）遭遇激情时的幸福与盲目，接受婚姻不幸后更为复杂的心理：克忍，反抗，直至麻木和绝望。在对白不多的情况下，飞鸿用她的眼神，表情和肢体语言将这一系列的变化刻划得丝丝入扣，令人赞叹。飞鸿在校时能演到这个水平，实在可以让现在很多所谓的大腕明星们汗颜。再说一下这部片子里飞鸿的造型，这里并没有仅仅从唯美的角度出发，有些造型乍看之下还难以接受，但十分吻合人物的阶段状态。

认识飞鸿是从王纯开始。的确她成功地塑造了一个前所未有的第三者形像，我个人认为也可以说是后无来者，之后徐静蕾和苏瑾的同类形像毫无新意，乏善可陈，这个问题已经有人讨论过，在此不加赘述。但是，"王纯"的成功有一多半存在于飞鸿本人和角色的相似度，气质，个性，处世态度等等的接近使得飞鸿事半功倍。难怪飞鸿在看了剧本之后自己要求将角色从夏小雪换为王纯。换句话说，在<牵手>里，飞鸿用的是本色表演。而对盈盈的塑造上则大为不同，盈盈的生活年代，人生阅历，知识层面都与飞鸿本人的无法相提并论。飞鸿能将与她本人反差以及角色自身反差极大的人物演绎得入木三分，证明了她的表演功力。

然而自<牵手>之后，飞鸿没有能够接到什么能够与前两者媲美的作品。所拍电视作品中的角色缺乏表演上的突破口，人物类型大同小异，现代片中清一色的白领成功女性，感情生活中有些起伏，如此而已。古装片中全部为经历坎坷的绝色美女，其实和现代片是换汤不换药，只不过古时无白领，反正她没演过生活在底层的平庸人物。偶尔人物性格略有差异，实在不值一提。飞鸿有时也会出现拿捏不准，表演过火的情况。多数时候我认为这些人物是对飞鸿表演的浪费。

作为一个专业演员，应该能够演绎人生百态，而不是千人一面。同时演员这个职业有自己的特殊性，它要求好的从业人员有较高的综合素质：观察能力，模仿能力，自身的爆发力，以及文化艺术修养，各方面知识的积累。当下许多影视明星仅凭着一些外在的东西来吸引公众的注意力，而忽略了他们最应该做的事情。在这方面，我更欣赏容貌虽不出众，但是表演功力深厚的演员，如奚美娟，斯琴高娃，王刚，焦晃等老演员。

作为她的影迷，我希望已经具备了良好的自身条件和素质的飞鸿能够有进一步提高，做颗影坛的常青树，我也希望能够更多的看到飞鸿演绎出的象盈盈这样或者比她更好的角色。

喜福会读后感（三）

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。
