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.
One day, Dennis was stomachache, the grandpa used the Chinese traditional therapy to help him to scrapping, named Gua Sha, which leaves bright red marks on the skin. And then, once Dennis had an accident and went to the hospital, the doctor saw that the scar on his back, he doubts if the children was abused at home, so he called the American children protection center, so it causes a lawsuit of child abuse. Thereby, this happy family happened a series of unfortunate.
At the hearing, whatever Xu Datong explained to the judge and the plaintiff about Gua Sha, the Americans always misunderstood. The opposing lawyer distorted the Chinese classics” Xi You Ji”, and his boss point out he had hit his son on the victory meeting, these all made Datong angry very much, scolding on the spot. In the court, Datong loses his mind so that finally he loses custody of his son. Because of the cultural difference, the father faces misunderstanding in the eyes of American. Thus, it made Datong break up families, and later he resigned, lost his friend and job.
Later his father found the truth, went to explain that was him to Gua Sha for Dennis, not Datong, to Datong’s first counsel for the defense, John, along, and decided to leave America. At the airport, the old man want to saw his grandson, so Datong went to the welfare- house secretly to bring Dennis to the airport to see his grandpa off. On their way back, the police found Datong took Dennis, Datong and Dennis played jokes with the followed up police cars……
John went to Chinese personally to experience the Chinese traditional treatment--“Gua Sha”, and hurried back to America to tell the accuser and the judge about his experience in it, and ask them to annul Datong’s result of sentence.
In the film’s last, Datong for the sake of seeing his son on Christmas Eve, he climbed up the pipe to the ninth floor which his son lives in Santa Claus dress. At last, John sent thejudiciaries rescind durance in time. And Datong climbed into the house, stayed with his families together again. The end is perfect. “Gua Sha” is known by the American law. The family gets together at last. But the cultural difference between countries leaves us thought-provoking. 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.
The film “Gua Sha” is based on a Chinese traditional treatment which is not well-known by most foreigners. Indeed, Gua Sha is a treatment in traditional oriental medicine, In Asia it is usually done with a coin, Chinese soup spoon, slice of water buffalo horn, or even a slice of ginger. It need repeatedly scrape some acupoint in the patient's skin to treat the patient’s illness. It’s very useful treatment for patient.
Gua Sha is a movie about the differences between Chinese Culture and Western Culture. In American law, parents shouldn’t leave child alone and can’t ill-treat their own children. If they break this law, parent may be taken to the police station, or what’s worse, their children will be separated from them. However, the family in the film gets in this trouble. These laws are good for children’s growing-up, but the rules don’t work in China. In China, parents have duties to look after their kids, including beat them the moment children don’t obey their words. In American, it’s illegal, children are protected by laws.
What’s more, the Americans don’t understand the Chinese traditional culture, often misinterpret, and even ignore it, so it results in many unfair for Chinese.
The film has deep impression to me. I’m not only proud of the extensive and profound Chinese culture, but also moved for the Chinese original ethical concept. In the movie, it embodied that Datong was so filial to his father everywhere, for example, for father get a green card, he admitted that was him to Gua Sha for his son, asked his wife not to tell the thing about Dennis’s law case to the old man to avoid his worried…… And the heart between Datong and Jian Ning was very deep, though they quarreled many times for Dennis’s case. The husband’s
wohlwollen to his wife, he chose to separate to let his wife to stay with Dennis, and the wife’s care for the family, do the housework after work, look after the old and the young in the family……The most impressing scene to me is the ending. Datong wants to see his son to climb a pipe to the ninth floor, despite his danger. Datong, the grandpa and Jian Ning, their love to Dennis, was deeply moved to everyone. The film reflects the kind to each other and loves each other in a traditional Chinese family, giving expression to the great of Chinese spirit.
篇二：刮痧观后感
《刮痧》体现的中美文化差异
《刮痧》这部电影讲述的是由刮痧疗法而引起的，华人在美国一系列的矛盾冲突，反映了中美文化的差异。
许大同在美国八年已经取得了一定的成就，事业有成、家庭幸福，后来也把父亲接到美国生活。一次，许大同的儿子丹尼斯发烧肚子痛，爷爷刚来到美国，对药品的说明书也不懂，便使用中国流传已久的刮痧疗法给孙子治病，这便是整个故事的导火线了。后来丹尼斯因为意外而受伤，在医院就诊的时候医生发现了他背部因为刮痧留下来的痕迹，怀疑许大同虐待儿子，便通知了儿童福利局，对丹尼斯进行了监护。后面就是许大同与妻子漫长地夺回儿子的抚养权的过程了。 刮痧在中国人的眼中，也算得上一种很正常治疗手法了。但在当时美国人的眼中，这是完全没法理解的事，因为西方人都要讲究实实在在的科学依据。但在中国很多医疗是很难直接用科学来解释的。当大同向别人解释什么是“刮痧”时，连法官都觉得很荒谬，这些不解与误会正是因为中国与美国之间的文化差异。所以对于我们的积极的中国文化，我们也应该对外发扬，让外国人知道这些中国文化的重要性。
电影里面还有很多值得我们去思考的，除了文化上的差异，还有在意识上和观念上也存在着巨大的差异。许大同说他爱美国，说那里是他的家，但他毕竟是在中国出生的，骨子里的中国传统文化已经根斯蒂固，这让他的思维方式没办法做出改变。就比如他在朋友面前体罚自己的孩子，并说是“打是疼骂是爱”；当上司无法理解他而认为他不可理喻时，他随口就说出了“道不同不相为谋”；还有在护士指控他在接产时说“保大人”的时候，他也说出了“留得青山在，不怕没柴烧”的话。可见他的中国传统文化已经在他的思维中根深蒂固了，所以美国人很难理解他的想法与做法，而认为不可理喻，这让他在也受到各种的阻碍。
在影片的后面部分，还是有很多很感人的镜头的。许大同的父亲找到大同的律师朋友，尽管不能用语言来交流，但他很努力地用比划来告诉律师说给丹尼斯刮痧的是他。后来律师自己也去体验了刮痧，他也明白了刮痧这一种疗法。在圣诞节的夜晚，许大同不可以靠近家人，但他对于家人的那份情感，他扮演了圣诞老人爬上了自家的窗户，有惊无险，终于与家人团聚，结局打动了观众。
《刮痧》表现出来的是中国与美国之间的文化差异而导致的冲突，这种文化差异的冲突以后还是会长久的存在的，重要的不是去改变它，而是去理解它。影片也用了很多镜头了表现人与人之间的相互理解。只要有爱，遇到的困难都可以迎刃而解的。
篇三：电影《刮痧》观后感
电影《刮痧》观后感
在经济正逐渐走向全球化的今天，各国间的交流越来越密切，不同领域间的文化也在不断的碰撞融合。然而在不同的文化背景下，由于对来自不同文化领域的人与事的不够了解，总是容易导致许些矛盾的产生。电影《刮痧》就向我们着展示了这样一个由于中西文化差异而引起的一系列事件。
这部电影给我的感触很深，它告诉了我们在出国热流行起来后，中西方文化的交流越来越频繁。然而由于双方文化的差异发生了些不和谐的碰撞，产生了很多矛盾。电影里的故事发生在21世纪初的美国，这是个正处在很多中国年轻人想要出国寻梦的年代。然而由于中西方文化的差异，很多在海外的中国人与西方社会产生了矛盾。
电影中的中国老人按照中国流传了几千年的治疗古法“刮痧”给孙子治病，这在我们中国人眼里这是十分正常的。然而在美国人眼里，这项让我们中国人骄傲的祖宗智慧“刮痧”却成了中国家长虐待儿童的证据。在我们中国，家喻户晓的神话人物孙悟空是正义、勇敢与睿智的代表性人物。在《西游记》中他一路斩妖除魔，所向披靡，深受广大中国儿童的喜爱。然而在美国，很多美国人却把孙悟空说成是邪恶的化身、暴力血腥的恶魔。或许很多中国人在看到这段电影时会义愤填膺，骂电影中的律师无知，侮辱我们的中华文化。但我想说，这本无关对错。电影中的律师在他所处的西方美国文化背景下用他美式的思想对他不了
解的中国文化做了“全新”的解释，而主人公则坚持自己的文化立场，对这番言论发出了一句“道不同，不相为谋”的怒吼。这都是由于双方文化差异以及对对方文化的不了解及理解导致的。就像老人在离开美国时说的那样，他不明白就刮痧这一件小事怎么就惹出这么多事，本来是想给孙子治病的，没想到给孩子添了这么多的麻烦。但不管在中国还是在美国，人们都一样重视和爱护孩子，这份爱是无国界的，只是方式不同罢了。
在当今社会，由文明化的差异导致的矛盾是数不胜数，但我们所关心的是如何才能避免或化解这些矛盾。文化具有一定的包容性。在新文化运动时，大批的知识分子大力主张引进西学，文化的碰撞不可避免；当时的北大校长蔡元培先生就主张“囊括大典，包罗众家；思想自由，兼容并包”。对待外来文化，我们先不要过分的去抨击它，我们应持一种宽容的心态，去了解它，然后再取其精华，弃其糟粕，使之促进我们文化的发展。
在经济全球化的今天，中西方的文化交流越来越频繁。在交流的同时，我们应保护并发展好我们本国的文化，保持好一颗宽容理解的心。在没有了解之前，不要以自身的观点和立场去妄加评论任何一种文化。
