喜福會

期待放颱風假,可是太陽大到皮膚曬疼了說.
有颱風假可放嗎???
晚一點,大哥說:如果待會風雨大,可以提早走^^
呵呵.. 但大哥這麼說,我們反而自治了,
隔著鋼筋水泥強看外頭的風雨,
好像沒有想像中的大 加上星期五的事情多
我們還是留到原本下班的時間才離開..

趁著颱風天跟JOAN去吃SHAPUSHAPU
從昨晚熬夜看的喜福會到山童歲月之我的理想
再轉到朋友小孩的教育問題最後以如何安頓"心"結尾.

((喜福會))
看過幾次覺得有點沉悶的電影,
片片段段的記憶 以前未曾把這部電影看完
在夜闌人靜清醒的晚上 這電影看起來格外有感觸..

A描述一家三代女人的價值觀,故事開始:女兒的異國婚姻亮紅燈,正鬧離婚.
The American Husband expected wife to have her own life/own opinions. For husband, different opinions are fine, arguments are okay, these are communication. The wife thought that she should live/do for her husband because these are for her husband, the one she love the most. However, the husband is not used to this Chinese family Model. He can't stand anymore.....

The daughter met her mother. The mother listened to daughter's story and is very upset. She saw grandma's image from daughter. The mother knows what she wants and will speak out for herself since she was young after the grandmother died for her. When mother has a daughter, she tried to raise girl with American way.Unfortunately, Grandma's soul is growing in duaghter's body.

B. this story is about a failure daughter & A+ mother. The mother is always good no matter what she did. On the contract, the duaghter is alwasy a Loser in her mother eyes. She was failure in Scoring, playing piano, being a single old lady, and being a freelancer. Compared to how good her mother is, she is totally a Loser. Duaghter thought mother doesn't know her at all. Mother's expectation is always hard to reach. However,the mother defensed: I know who you are & I see the best part of you, you're a person with good heart! That's what I saw into you. I am not setting expectation but I am hoping....

Even though they live in American, they still encouter traditional Chinese problem: The conflict between parents and kids!

Theme of this film is being yourself. Trying to tell us that we're independent individual. No matter where we are, we chinese always prisoned in our traditional. Living in parents expectation. Living for others but not living up for yourself. So, just be yourself! Love yourself!
