电影刮痧英文观后感（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.

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”.

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 .

A Review of“The Treatment”

Movie“The Treatment”was directed by Zheng Xiaolong.Chinese famous actor Liang Jiahui was the hero,and his partner is Jiang Wenli.The story center on the difference between Chinese Culture and America Culture. And the main thread of the movie is the misconception about the“ Gua sha treatment”.It reflects the conflicts caused by the cultural differences between the east and west ,which lead chinese into all kinds of troubles,but finally,sincere and love solve all the affairs well. The movie is shocking and thought-provoking to me,indeed i really felt angry when i saw the scene that the American lawyer defame the classic——<Pilgrimage to the west> and the personification of justice Sun Wukong.China is a country with 5000 years of civilization,so no one could stand the insult to our culture.Xu of course gets irritated,but the patriotism be used by the lawyer.Xu finally lose the case,the judge announce that Xu was not allowed to meet with his son and deprive the his custody. Let us look the first scene at the begining of the movie:Xu Datong was rewarded because his achievement on game development.His family was perfection and his career was successful,“one day I will become one of you,a truly successful American,today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that”he said proudly. But not everything goes perfectly,at the dinner party,Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit his boss's son.Xu's boss of course could not understand the behaviour,but Xu said that he hit his son was to show the respect to his boss.And from the American's perspective,it was ridiculous,they thought that everyone is equal and hit children to show respect to others is totally inconceivable.

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.
