The film “gua sha”tells the story the life of an immigrant American family that came from Beijing: the 5-year-old Chinese child Dennis stomachaches and had a fever, so his grandfather use Chinese traditional way-gua sha-to treat him.However, Datong couple was accused of child abuse and then, one after another evidence of witnesses had made the couple in a trouble, because Western medicine can not simply understand this traditional Chinese therapies.In court, a series of debates came, a happy family shortly became so fragmented.All this reaction came from the large level of globalization ,which is cultural differences.Gua sha is a Chinese traditional treatment methods spread over two thousand years, of course, there will be some congestion in the body traces, but the body is good.In the film, Ta Tung said: “I love America!Here is my home!” Eight years of American life has made him confident that he was American.But no matter how he said, how fluent English he said, how American life he loves,his bones are rooted in traditional Chinese culture.For example, Dennis and a friend's son fight, he would give his son punishment in public,and he says“playing the curse of love is pain”.All this is known as “Democracy, rule of law, science,” which are the American political and the law can not understand.Contempt for his country's culture is actually the concept of an individual's culture and values in this kind of contempt.I had forgotten who said these words.Americans and Chinese people educate their children in a different way.The United States in this way, not to say desirable, but at least you can listen to the child's views and opinions.Although there is no independent civilian child ability, but he is conscious and has some ability to distinguish an independent entity.Even if they will not all believe the child, the child’s words can also be part of his reaction to judge his true condition.At this point,the movie did not reflect.The U.S.attorney hired by the prosecution in court described the “Journey to the West” in the Monkey: Ta Tung immigrant to the U.S.to prove violent: “They planted nine years of peaches, he did not say hello to fight with the owner they pick to eat, when people stop him, he does not only did not listen to discourage, but also fight and ruined people's Taoyuan.No Chinese people would stand such stupid words towards Chinese traditional culture!
Sino-us differences in performance of the film, but also expressed cultural assimilation, cultural fusion of a kind of yearning.Abram passed from Queensland Chinatown porcelain store, personal try ”gua sha“;From xu Datong get rid of shows, downstairs police, residents erupted with applause, from he climbed the ninth floor of the house, the house and the children of alarm welfare leadership congratulated him holy happiness, welcome home, audiences seem to see the westerners preached the Chinese and western cultural barriers, began to approach of traditional Chinese culture, and eventually conquered all human feelings.The end of the story is perfect, but also must not ignore the cultural difference side, which requires us to strengthen exchanges and communication, hope in the near future, a ”Datong" world really will appear in front of us!

Impressions of the film Gua Sha
Some time ago, I watched a movie called Guasha.It is a movie about the differences between American and Chinese culture.There’re a lot of conflicts in this movie, such as the criteria of abusing children, the using languages between the different generations, the ways of teaching children.Of course, the main one is Chinese traditional values and American ones.It is showed on three characters, Datong, his wife and Grandpa.Datong is the central character that the director chose to express the theme.His words, his actions, his thoughtway, all represent the Chinese traditional values.His wife are very well educated and wants only Engllish spoken in her home.As an old Chinese, Grandpa can accept the American values partly, but not to follow.Undoubtely, Iam feeling a lot from that movie.The most important is the Culture Shock.
第三篇:刮痧英文觀后感
“Scrape” is indeed a good film for us to see.When I was seeing the film, I was touched by its wonderful plot.The film narrates that the main character named Xu Datong came to America 8 years ago and he realized his American Dream.He has a successful career and a happy family, everything is going well.But one day, he was told that his son was maltreated by himself.The truth is that his son Denis has a fever and a stomachache, but his grandfather can’t understand the English instructions on the medicine bottle.Therefore, he uses the traditional Chinese medicine therapy “Guasha” to cure his grandson, which becomes the evidence of the father’s abuse to his son.And the traditional Chinese therapy “Guasha” seems to be the tool that is used to maltreat children in the eyes of foreigners.In China, scrape is a very normal thing for people to accept, and why it becomes so complicated and difficult for foreigners to acknowledge the traditional Chinese therapy.Facing with the new explanation of traditional Chinese culture and moral standard by prosecution lawyer, Xu Datong loses his mind and is hard to calm down.The judge announces to exploit his right of guardianship over his son.And he is not allowed to meet his son and he is very angry at the time of the scene.When the defense lawyer of the opposite talks about the role named “Monkey King”, we can see that many foreigners are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.Analyzing from the aspect of Chinese and Western’s thoughts, the
western countries are controlling the world with their strong economic and military strength, and they try to centralize unify the western model of the civilized world.Therefore, they start to smear and debase other civilization pattern.The western society is never research extensive and profound Chinese culture seriously and they don’t know more about the Chinese culture.As a result, foreigners are unable to understand “Guasha” in the movie.As we all know, thoughts of western people are more open than us, but they can’t accept the thing without any scientific proof.In the aspect of education, when the Chinese parents deal with the fight between two children, they will educate their own child firstly, while the western parents will respect the truth.So Xu Datong’s action to educate his son is seen as violence even abuse.The traditional Chinese notion is that parents give birth to their child and they have the right to educate them well, other people are with no right to interfere.However, parents are just legal guardian to their children in America, and they have no right to scold their kids and to say nothing of fight their children.Therefore, the Chinese notion of education is rather different from the western notion of education,Legally, America is a legal system country, law exists in the every corner and every dispute can be solved by the way of law.They emphasize on the truth and evidence.Finally, Xu Datong was announced
to leave his son, according to law, the court’s adjudication is right.But many Chinese people are unable to accept it, which we can see the difference between China and America.We have to acknowledge that American people emphasize personal rights;they use law and social institutions to limit people’s action, especially to the protection of juveniles.They think everyone is equal and has their own rights.We can learn something good from American law.In conclusion, cross-cultural communication may have some conflicts.In order to reach the agreement, we should learn to respect other different cultural customs in the process of cultural communicating.We need to have tolerant attitude, and eliminate national prejudice and adhere to the principle of equal culture.
第四篇:刮痧英文觀后感
Consideration about Gua Sha
The movie Gua Sha(The Treatment)is typical for showing explicitly the differences of culture and the way of thinking between countries as well as modern and tradition.It tells the story about Xu Datong, a video games designer in St.Louis.When his father visits from China, he performs Gua Sha(a Chinese traditional treatment)on his grandson, which leaves bright red marks on the skin and causes a lawsuit of child abuse.In the court, Datong loses his mind so that finally he loses custody of his son.Gua Sha is a treatment in traditional oriental medicine in which a wooden board repeatedly slides across the patient's acupuncture acupressure massage points.It works in similar principles like that of acupuncture acupressure massage.This method would inevitably leave bruise on the skin.Actually, the treatment of Gua Sha means to get rid of blocks and obstacles in the body and to make one healthy and sound.In the movie, it also means to break the differences of culture and the way to thinking between China and the United States.Apart from the culture distinctions, the way of thinking is also different between the two countries.The U.S.always pays more attention to logical thinking and the respect for an individual person, even if it’s just a kid and they always seem cold and indifferent to us Chinese.While in China, we value much the collectivism, which means we cherish and care our parents, our children, our families as well as others and even strangers.In the movie, there are cultural conflicts and cultural convergence going together.Datong is a name which means the same and harmony, and Datong is the father who is trying to integrate his Chinese cultural beliefs into his daily American reality.The conversations of this film are also a combination of Chinese and English, just like the world, a combination of Chinese culture and American culture, holding true things to the integration of both worlds.The movie also shows the eternal theme of love.The love between parents and children, couples, friends, and even strangers which we can see clearly from the last part of the movie when Datong succeeded in climbing to his home on the ninth floor, people who are watching as well as the policemen all applause and congratulate him.This is love which is eternal in the universal even if there are differences.What impresses me the most is the last scene, when on Christmas day,Datong, who misses his son so much, pretends to be Santa Claus climbing along the water pipe to his house on the ninth floor.I’m almost in tears when I see their family holding together no matter what obstacles they are facing.In the end, Chinese culture, like Gua Sha, can also be approved by the west gradually, which means the integration of different cultures and also means a world of Datong, a world of harmony.
第五篇:《刮痧》讀后感
《刮痧》觀后感
在美好的圣誕節氛圍中,一身圣誕老人打扮的許大同與簡寧和孩子抱在一起痛哭,看到這樣的情景,不禁讓人心酸。這樣的結局,可是我似乎總覺得缺少了一些東西。
在這部電影中,雖然強調的是文化沖突,可是我覺得更像是提醒我們要珍惜我們古老優美的文化,那是我們的根。外國人可以不理解,但是我們自己一定要把它當成傳家寶一樣珍惜。在我們這一代,中國文化的遺失問題已經迫在眉睫了。大家似乎都對中國古老悠久的文化沒有任何感覺了,不僅沒有了熱愛,更有甚者是覺得中國文化不屑一提。這是多么讓人痛心?!看到電影里那些外國人對中國文化的不屑,那種根本不屑去了解的覺得根本就很荒謬腐朽的態度,難道就不能激起我們對自己文化的珍惜?文化是民族的根,一個失去了自己文化的民族,就像一棵失去了根的大樹,即使再枝繁葉茂,也終究只會走向枯萎。
說到這,我就很想說說我的看法了。我覺得的確中國文化中有糟粕,可是哪國文化中沒有糟粕呢?我們那么多優美的古老文化的光芒難道不能掩蓋那些糟粕?顯然是能的??墒怯行┤司蛺勰梦覀兾幕械脑闫烧f事,從來就不看看我們的精華,片面的否定我們的文化。真是可氣!
在文化沖突中,有些人也總是傾向于外國文化。這真是讓人很無奈。比如教育孩子,許大同打了孩子就是為了給他朋友一個面子,當然不是贊同家長打孩子,可是我覺得外國人也必須要理解我們所表示的尊重,而不是只知道指責我們的打孩子。我很倔強的覺得我們的一些觀念是幾千年來產生的,是符合我們中國人的,沒必要盲目跟著外國人改變我們的觀點。就像是我們可以為了親情犧牲自己,我們可以感情用事,我很喜歡簡寧說的那句話:“因為他是中國人!”
再來看看我們的出國熱吧。當然我先要說我們不能一葉障目,不能因為文化的沖突就去全盤否定外國的文化,我們還是需要從外國文化中吸取精華,否則,全盤的否定只會讓歷史悲劇重新上演。但是,正如魯迅先生說的,吸取精華不是拿來主義,現在大家的出國都是為了吸取精華嗎?顯然不是。在一個盲目崇拜外國文化的環境中,大家開始因為自己對外國文化的崇拜或是環境的被迫紛紛選擇出國。這樣有意義嗎?最終只是造就了一堆海歸派,一個大家都是對之苦笑的名詞。
我們必須承認外國有些文化的先進,我們也需要學習,但我們學習的同時也需要理智。文化是在一定的背景中產生的,所以不是所有的先進文化我們都可以拿來用的。一味濫學濫用,只會打亂我們自己的文化。我在這里想強調的就是希望大家在學習和利用外國先進文化時都能理智一點。要相信我們自己的文化也是很優秀的?。】吹诫娪爸性S大同和簡寧的委屈,想想許大同領獎時的那句話“為留在美國而自豪”我真是覺得臉紅,不知道美國人看到這些想拼命留在美國的中國人是不是很可笑呢?有自己的國家,卻拼命留在外國,忍受著外國人的踐踏,真是何必呢。當然現實沒有我說的“踐踏”那么夸張,可是我覺得活在自己的國土難道不是一種幸福嗎?
最后誤會消除了,許大同一家三口團圓了,可是這樣的結局圓滿嗎?我始終不能忘記老人走的時候那番話,那個背影。都說養兒為防老,可是老人卻孤身一人回到了北京,一個人孤獨終老。當然我也知道許大同也不想這樣,可是事實就是老人自己顫巍巍的離開了美國,離開了自己這輩子可能再也見不到的最愛的孩子們。這份親情就這樣成了許大同美國夢的犧牲品。但愿現實不是這樣的殘酷!
