  刮痧观后感英文版 篇1

  1、Gua Sha is a movie about the differences between American and Chinese culture. Xu datong is 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. I think this scene is shocking and thought-provoking to most of the Chinese audiences. But the most impressing scene to me is the ending. Datong wants to see his son in Christmas eve, he has to climb a pipe to the ninth floor which his son lives. I think the pipe is not only a pipe, but also a gap, a deep gap between American and 5000-year Chinese culture. He wants to climb over the gap and he will never succeed, perhaps no Chinese people really could succeed.

  2、Guasha is really a depressive movie. It depresses me much more than Crash. Crash talks about the racial discrimination, a serious issues, while this talks about culture shock, not so serious, maybe. However, it shocks me more.

  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 two characters, Datong and his father.

  Grandpa is a Chinese traditional highbrow; he can accept the American values partly, but not to follow. At last, he chose to leave. He went back to Peking. Between two families, one is his country, another is his own family including his son with American dream, he chose the former. For an old Chinese, I think it’s a good choice. Also, Guasha is done by grandpa which is the main clue of the movie.

  Datong is the central character. His words, his actions, his thoughtway, all represent the Chinese traditional values. He is the typical that the director chose to exprethe theme. All conflicts are focus on him. On him, you see the Culture Shock.

  The line that impresses me most is ” Because he is Chinese.” After ma-ki-ng so many conflicts, the director tells us the reason of all. It hits the nail on the head. Here, the director forces you to face the reality of this society, in that melting pot, Culture Shock can be a big problem. I’m happy that the director is a Chinese, so , we can safely conclude that we Chinese are no longer as numb as Luxun described in his novels. However, what he can do is just shows us the truth, not the method to solve the problem.

  I’ve well understood the culture shock since I live with Yao. It confuses me why there should be such a big gap between two Chinese. Especially when that gap is totally different from those between you and me or him and her. Sometimes we just argued for some ” common sense” in Guangdong which she completely can’t accept. Different families’ settings , different regional traditions, and of course, different characters, perhaps are the reasons for this gap. However, we can do nothing with this gap but get accustomed to it.

  In all, I don’t like this genre of movie which uses the cruel facts to criticize the society. It’s so cruel and depressive that you almost lose the hope to our society and have no bravery to face the truth. Anyway, it makes us tough, too.

  刮痧观后感英文版 篇3

  When I first saw this film’s name ,I considered it as a movie that told us something about Chinese traditional therapy treatment. However , after the movie , I realized guasha was just a symbol of the difference between Chinese culture and western culture , and there were many aspects we should have a deep consideration .

  At the beginning of the film , Xu Datong slaps his son Denis on his face before the crowd , because Denis hit the son of Xu’s son and Xu just want to show the respect to his boss Quinlan , that time Quinlan feels puzzled and says“what a Chinese logic”. Of course , an American can never know a Chinese logic of interpersonal relationship which has been prolonged more than 2000 years . Chinese can wronged their children in order to maintain friendships and leader-member relation ,while American think everyone is equal and free .

  In addition , they can also never understand Chinese hit their children because of loving them . In America , people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law-beating children or leave them alone is illegal , but a Chinese old proverb says “ Spare the rod , spoil the child” .

  Another scene which makes me deliberate is that the lawyer vilifies Sun Wukong in A Journey to the West as a symbol of

  barbarism and violence in the court ,then Datong is eaged and then rushes to fight the lawyer . We all can know the reason ,because Sun Wukong is a hero on behalf of justice , representing Chinese traditional values and virtues .

  Guasha Treatment tells us that the key to avoid the conflict of different cultures is mutual understanding and tolerance.

  It’s about assimilation into American culture, and not assimilation in an ”International” city, like SF or NY or LA or Chicago, but St. Louis, MO(actually shot there).Really great acting, interesting story.

  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, and the story begins here, when the visiting grandpa who does not speak any English used this traditional practice to treat the grandson when both son and daughter-in-law were at work.

  Sadly, in US, this is a story that repeats itself many times in the area where many oriental immigrants lives and all of these are due to simple misunderstanding between cultures.Gua Sha: Step-by-Step, by Arya Nielsen.If an acupuncturist is trained in Classical Chinese medicine, they will do this technique in their practice for pain, and for acute or chronic illness.

  刮痧观后感英文版 篇5

  Chinese immigrants struggle to hold onto their American dream after the husband's father(Xu Zhu)comes for a visit from mainland China and gives a si-mp-le Chinese Medicine therapy called Gua Sha to his grandson.

  Da Tong(Tony Leung Ka Fai)is the father who is trying to integrate his Chinese cultural beliefs into his daily American reality, especially when dealing with his bo(Hollis Huston)and best friend, who is too quick to believe the worst about Da Tong's treatment of his son, Dennis. Da Tong's failures show his confusion about the differences between his original Chinese culture and his new American home. Even within his family there is conflict because Grandfather can't speak English and is excluded from many conversations because Mother(Wenli Jiang)wants only English spoken in her home for the benefit of her American born son. Da Tong and his wife are very well educated and understand that their child's best chances for succein America, and for him not to experience the same troubles they've had during the past 8 years, are to speak without an accent. They even go so far as to insist the boy use a fork and knife instead of chopsticks, even when it's obvious they are still eating Chinese style food, served in the normal way: communal dishes for the food and smaller, individual rice bowls for each person. Mother seems a bit inflexible in her insistence on being as American as possible, while Da Tong's cultural leanings are just as strongly Chinese, although not by conscious choice.

  Da Tong's love for his son is tested severely when Da Tong tries to balance it against respect for his boss. When Da Tong's son hits his boss' son, Da Tong insists on an apology that seems

  unnecessary and makes Da Tong look stubborn and uncaring. Da Tong gives his boy a light rap on the head when he refuses to apologize and the boy cries to his mother that the reason he hit his playmate was that the other boy called Da Tong stupid, one of many examples of doing the wrong thing to protect your family.

  The conflict arising from doing the wrong thing out of love or respect for one's family or closest friends continues throughout the movie, and every way Da Tong turns, he finds failure and encounters both obvious and subtle forms of anti-Chinese racism.Even Chinese folklore about the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong, that Da Tong incorporates into a video game he designed is used to provoke his pride when he's vulnerable and fearing for the loof his son. Da Tong is misunderstood by everyone, family, friend, and foe, even though he has only the best intentions, and he carries the responsibility quite heavily, ma-ki-ng one wrong turn after another.

  Gua Sha (Motivational model yuedu.shows how a person's cultural beliefs are so deeply set within oneself that it is usually impossible to examine why you do most anything, from how you dreand talk to whom you love and respect and how you show it. The invisible nature of one's cultural beliefs also makes it difficult to impossible to explain yourself to others when questioned. Da Tong experiences an excruciatingly painful and difficult struggle while trying to protect his son, an ordeal that forces him to examine the validity of some of the most vital things he thought he knew about his identity, his Chinese culture, and the new American world he'd chosen as his home.

  The movie showed me how normal it is for people to look for ways that their culture is superior to others' and how the misunderstandings arising from different cultural perspectives can seem very large, but can be nullified with si-mp-le, 2-sided explanations when people are willing to listen.

  It appears this film is not readily available in the USA, but it's the best I've seen at highlighting the differences between American and Chinese culture. Parts of the movie's dialog are only in Chinese and I've yet to find a DVD with English subtitles, although it's easy to get the gist of what's going on during those short passages. The credits are a combination of Chinese and English, holding true to the integration of both worlds. I've noticed some important roles are not credited here on IMDb, such as Judge Horowitz, who was played by Alexander Barton.

  “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.

  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.

  刮痧观后感英文版 篇8

  The Differences between Chinese and Western Cultures

  ----From the movie “Gua Sha”

  1 Introduction

  Gua Sha is a movie about the differences between American and Chinese culture. The story takes place in St. Louis. Xu Datong has been to the United States for eight years. He is a successful game-designer with a happy family. One day, his son Dennis is sick. The grandpa uses the Chinese traditional therapy named Gua Sha to help him which leaves bright red marks on the skin. And then, Dennis is left at home alone and he has an accident. He is sent to the hospital so the doctor sees the scar on his back. The doctor doubts if the child is abused at home. In the court, every witness and testimony make Datong lose the custody of his son. Then, it makes Datong break up families and he loses his friends and job. Finally, Datong climbs up the pipe to the ninth floor which his family live to see his son on Christmas Eve. At the same time, his friend John tells them that he can live with his family and the court has learned Gua Sha.

  The film reflects many differences between American and Chinese cultures, including the legal system, ethical standards, the traditional Chinese medicine theory and many other issues.

  2 The Differences between Chinese and Western Cultures

  2.1 The difference in the legal system

  In America, parents shouldn’t leave their child alone and can’t abuse the child. If they break the law, they may be taken to the police station. What’s more, their children will be separated from them. Children are protected by laws. In the film, the family gets in this trouble. But the rule doesn’t work in China. In China, parents have the right to beat them when children don’t obey their words.

  From the movie, Datong slaps Dennis because he wants Dennis to apologize to Paul but Dennis refuses. Paul’s father can’t understand him at all. However, Datong says that it is to show his respect to him and give him face. Chinese think that the child is their private property. He is my son so he is mine. I can beat him because he does not obey my words. But in America, every one is equal, including parents and children. In American’s eyes, it is illegal to beat someone. Parents seldom decide something for their children. They want their children to fight for themselves.

  1

  2.2 The difference in ethical standards

  Chinese pay more attention to the whole and we think that everyone should devote himself to the family. In traditional Chinese culture, filial piety is one of the most important things. In the film, we can see that Datong admits that he does Gua Sha to his son. He doesn’t want his father to worry about Dennis so he tells his father nothing. He takes Dennis out of the welfare centre to meet with his father who will go back to Chinese. However, American values themselves. They are educated with independent spirit. They do not have strong feelings with their family.

  There are also many differences in the views on friendship. Stewad and Bennet discuss American friends: "Although Americans keep many friendly and unofficial ties, but they rarely make those deep. At the same time, when People choose friends, they also make it separate from others." However, it is different in China. We want to have several close friends. And as a friend of mine, you should help me to do many things without a return. When Datong’s boss in the court admits that Datong has beaten his son, Datong thinks he is my friend but he betrays me. And the boss believes that he just says the truth. Integrity is an important virtue in America. American won’t tell a lie even though he is your friend.

  2.3 The difference in the views on the traditional Chinese medicine theory

  We can see it from the origin of different cultures. The philosophy of China and America are different. The western people prefer rationalism while the Chinese like exploring the relationship between the nature and human. In the court, Datong tells them what Gua Sha is. But nobody can understand him. Even his lawyer finds it too difficult to understand.

  3 Conclusion

  The film reflects many differences between American and Chinese cultures. At the same time, it also expresses cultural assimilation. In the movie, the American man Queensland searches for a clinic to try Gua Sha. We can see that American is willing to learn Chinese cultures. The film has a happy ending, but it also ignores some cultural differences. I hope one day we might not be damaged by cultural differences and the world would be a “datong” world.

  Charlie from the "Rain Man" brings out the hospital until the beginning of "Rain Man" returned to the hospital is the film's central narrative paragraphs, occupy the entire film is 2 / 3 over. This progreis the procemore like road-mode, and this car is a big important paragraph of the props and bearing. The film also made a conscious decision to use other modes of transport instead of cars to complete the film "family" theme of the portrait. When Charlie prepared with "Rain Man" on the airplane, "Rain Man" showed extreme panic and anxiety, and enumerated in the previous periods crash. In no way Charlie circumstances had promised to "Rain Man" take automotive requirements. At this point, and directing were reached to extend the use of narrative time and space vehicles, and create a relatively broad narrative environment.

  The whole car is the bearing of the incident, the theme is the cornerstone of good play. In the two-person trip to the middle of a "Rain Man" suddenly reminded of his underpants, he was required to return to the Charlie designated places to buy designated underpants. This has been a strange burn up his brother Charles at this time the dilemma. Abnormal helplehe angrily left the car, walked alone one person complained loudly, when he can look back again, my brother has not the car, but to sell his underpants that direction going. At that moment, the car empty, represented the brothers emotion and the way of thinking on the alienation and difficult to communicate, so俩人have left their places of spiritual exchange - automotive, suddenly created a separation empty art results. When Charlie and later, "Rain Man" won large amounts of money in the casino after playing and traveling together when Suzanne, the atmosphere is warm, because the narrow space in this car represents the soul of communication between the brothers, let them at the same time bathed in golden sunlight, the spring water fountain also like the ease of mind and a cheerful background music and exciting dance issued轻捷crisper, and drop people droplets sound. In these two areas, car apparently served as a "family" of communication sites, was a sharp contrast, and the plot laid a foundation for further development.

  Apart from the car, also used in the film, such as the telephone, television, such as the product of modern science and technology to social reality of the state of some of the hidden side of refraction, and have a certain amount of social satire role.

And past performance of "non-normal" film, the film "Rain Man" Apart from congenital disability, but also has some "normal people" do not have some talent. In the movie, the director repeatedly demonstrated his interest and the unique digital extraordinary memory capacity, and intensified this individual acts, the leading clues, the entire narrative become an important motive exists. The film also uses its own characteristics that created a special effects comedy and drama tension. From a certain perspective, "Rain Man" films of this role is the focus of the entire drama. Tablets comedy links, the motives for contradictions in his possession were to be embodied. If Charles and Suzanne se-x, the unknown rational Raymund enter their room, and Suzanne and together up.

  刮痧观后感英文版 篇10

  Last week, I’ve watch the film named GUA SHA. Actually, GUA SHA has another professional form as skin scraping. But I think it was not correctly enough. GUA SHA is a traditional medical treatment. The main function is to accelerate blood circulation. It has a good effect on hypertension, heatstroke and so on. Once upon a time, our ancestors had told us generation by generation. We all believed its influence.

  The story of this film happened in America. The hero, Datong Xu, an Chinese people made a great succeand realized his American dream. He said, he loved America and America is an place filled with opportunities in a victory meeting. But an unfortunate thing came to him. One day, his five-year-old child called Denis got a fever. The grandpa can’t understand the English introductions on the drugs. So he did GUA SHA for Denis. Unexpectedly it became the evidence for child abuse. Datong Xu was accused of child abuse. On the court, one after another witnetestified his bad behavior to his child. He can’t explain clearly about GUA SHA. In the face of so many distorted allegations, he became crazy. Meantime, he was deprived of Denis’s custody. He was forbidden to meet Denis. His father decided to return to China. Everything changed. He lost his harmonious family, his trust friends, his perfect job. He lost everything. He was forced to live in the slum. In the slum, the couple hugged and cried together.

  At Christmas, he missed his son very much. Then he pretended as Santa Claus to see his son secretly. The guide didn’t let him in. He climbed the water tube. At that time, police came. He can see Denis. He succeeded at last.

  The film reflects the cultural shock in foreign country. Finally the hero overcame the obstacles through his endeavor. It deeply impressed me that the difficulty we must face in the foreign country, because of the distinguished culture. Only more munication we make, leproblems it may appears. It is a long way for us to go. We should put it in mind.

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. I think this scene is shocking and thought-provoking to most of the Chinese audiences. But the most impressing scene to me is the ending. Datong wants to see his son in Christmas eve, he has to climb a pipe to the ninth floor which his son lives. I think the pipe is not only a pipe, but also a gap, a deep gap between American and 5000-year Chinese culture. He wancts to climb over the gap and he will never succeed, perhaps no Chinese people really could succeed.
