Compare Contrast Joy Luck Club book and movie
Amy Tan was the writer of the novel, The Joy Luck Club. ... The movie version of the book portrayed the same concept as well, with a few differences. There were many differences between The Joy Luck Club book and movie. ... The first difference is that in the movie, the story takes off from Jing-Mei Woos going away party. ... In the book however, the story starts out with Jing-Mei talking about taking her mothers (Suyuan) place at the mah jong table. ... In the movie, it seems like it is Jing-Mei saying those words, when in the book, it is Suyuan saying those words to her daughter. In doing so, it looks over the mother-daughter relationship that is so prevalent in this book. I think that the director of the movie did that as to cut down on confusion. ... Instead of the two they have in the book, or in Jing-Meis case, four. I think the main reason of this is because some of the stories overlap and if the director was to include all of them, the movie would be way too long. By cutting the book in half, the movie was a reasonable length. ... In the book, a matchmaker had come and arranged her marriage to Tyan-yu.
