The Joy Luck Club The film Joy Luck Club directed by Wayne Wang, portrays the lives of four mothers and daughters. All four mothers shared difficult lives while growing up in China according to Chinese culture where they would be submissive to a man or devoid of hope. They later had to flee to America in the 1940s to re-establish a better life. Unlike their daughters who have a better chance of happiness because they grew up in America, so they basically became Americanized and didn't adapt to their Chinese culture. But the mothers, witnessing the same traits of their lives in their daughters, decided to break the silence and share their stories. They wanted to show their daughters the values of self-esteem and having a spirit. Joy Luck Club was created by Suyuan Woo when she returned to China. Club June didn't marry, but her mother wasn't upset about it, but it occurred to her that it was because most of the other daughters were married and she wasn't. After her mother's death, it was hard for her, for example, a scene where all the mothers and daughters were taking a photo, June didn't want to be part of it but she was asked to do it. But on the other hand Waverly married twice, the first marriage was to a Chinese man with whom she had a daughter. Waverly claimed that she wasn't happy and that the only reason she did it was to please her mother and she felt like she still wasn't happy. Waverly's second marriage was to a white man named Rich. Waverly felt that her mother would be disappointed in her, so it took her some time to break the news of their marriage. One day at the hair salon Suyuan finally admits to Waverly that she didn't have a problem with Rich. June and Waverly just wanted to please their mothers as best they could
