The differences between Chinese and western cultures

---from the movie “Gua Sha”

This term, I have taken an elective course on western culture and enjoy movies and airwaves, and watched many films, such as “Gua Sha”, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, “A Christmas Carol”,” Legally Blonde”, “The Proposal”,“Friends”,“Gone with the Wind”. But what impresses me most is the film “Gua Sha”, which English name is “The Treatment”.

Gua Sha is a movie about the difference between Chinese and American culture. The story happens in a Chinese family who lives in American. It mainly related the hero Xu Datong, who is a Chinese, had struggled for 8 years, tried hard to assimilate into American culture, and he as a video games designer in St. Louis had a great success and got his boss's approval and friendship. He and his wife, Jian Ning, son, Dennis, led a happy life in America. He also brought his father from china to live here together.

观后感一

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. 中文翻译: 刮痧是一部反映中美文化差异的电影。徐大同(孩子的爸爸)是圣路易斯的一位电子游戏设计师。他父亲从中国到美国看望孙子,并对孙子进行了刮痧(一种中国传统治疗的方法),哪些留在孙子皮肤上的刮痕被认为是虐待儿童的证据,并将大同告上了法庭。在法院上,由于大同没有证据(或无所是从),以至于他最后丢失对儿子的监护权。我觉得这一幕是令人震惊的,令中国观众发人深省的,但结局给人的印象最深。大同希望在圣诞节前

篇四 :《刮痧》观后感 英文

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 .

篇七 :刮痧英文观后感

“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.

篇八 :电影《刮痧》英文读后感

The movie, The Treatment, reveals several aspects of difference between Chinese culture and Western culture.

The first difference is the laws on child protection. Although Chinese laws about the interests and rights of children have been improved, it is not systematicallydiscuss the problem of child abuse. In America, however, if child have been found that he/she is threatened by domestic violence, related departments will take measures immediately. They will take the child to child protection agencies to prevent him/her from being abused and investigate whether parents had abused their child. If parents are found guilty of abusing their child, they will face not only being put into prison and losing their child custody.

The second difference is family education. In China, many parents think that,sometimes, it is inevasible to educate children by scolding and hitting. When child is naughty or making mistakes, instead of finding the reason and help the child to correct, parents’ first reaction is to ‘fix’ their child. While in America, no matter what kind of domestic violence, is not allowed, especially scolding and hitting child. In the movie, Da tong’s American boss not understood that Da tong hitting his son was show respect for him. It is the different logic and behavior custom between Chinese culture and Western culture.
