1、100605123 xxx 2013-3-19The film review of “scrapping” This movie is about a story which happened in an immigrant family living in the United States now. Dennis, a Chinese child, is having a fever and suffering from diarrhea. Since his grandfather was from Beijing and didnt understand the drugs Engli
2、sh instruction, he used the long history Chinese wisdom therapy scrapping to treat Dennis. But he never predicted that this treatment became the evidence of Dennis father abused the child. In the court, a series of conflicts is followed, and the so happy family became fragmented in a few time. We ca
3、nt imagine scrapping is just a little thing for Chinese. Why should it become a legal setbacks in the United States. Scrapping has experienced thousands of years history. Why became illegal behavior in the US. This question is very valuable for people to think about it. As far as Im concerned, this
4、problem is due to the cultural differences between Chinese and western country. Western people cannot believe the treatment of Guasha which has a long history in China. The culture differences existed in everywhere. Different country has different cultures. We should realize it ,and accept it someti
5、me. But there is also a more important reason that the court didnt understand the true things and didnt verify the illegal evidence. Because the cultural difference itself is an objective factor. Only when cultural differences cant be accepted this tragedy would happen. As we all know the low is jus
6、tice, and the court needs the fact. In this film, scrapping hadnt really be understood, the court deprived the custody of Xu Datong. Its no doubt that they didnt understand correctly and verify the illegal evidence, which lead to the contrary to the justice of law. If the court knows the differences
7、 between Chinese and foreign cultures,it wont make such a ridiculous decision.Another bright spot of this film is the fathers love. At the hearing Xu Datong expressed impatience that totally different from his personality as an engineer. He feels anxiety and fear that he is going to lose his child.
8、He spirited away Dennis at the contact of the law. In order not to let Dennis know the truth, he played a game with Dennis and Dennis had a good sleep. In the end, Xu climb nine floors to make his love climax.“Scrapping” is valuable for people to watch. Its rich in cultural connotations. Of course t
9、hings have been solved satisfactorily Finally, the prosecution of the court has been revoked. The result of the film in addition to the normal conscience and more is due to the communication and understanding of each other. I think the heros name is “Da Tong”. Its true meaning is the communication a
10、nd understanding of other culture. 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 m
11、arks on the skin and causes a lawsuit of child abuse. In the court, Datong loses his mind so that finally he losescustody 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
12、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
13、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 夕看到他的儿子，他不得不爬钢管到九楼去看他的儿子。我想那钢管，不仅是钢管，而是美国与5000 年中华文化的鸿沟。他想爬过这个鸿沟，他是做不到，也许没有中国人民真正能做得到I have never i
14、magined that I would write a film review in English. Because when referring to feeling and culture, I can hardly express my whole idea in Chinese, let alone in English. Well, just have a try. The Gua Sha Treatment is designed to discuss the culture differences. We can know that from Datong, the name
15、 of the leading man. Datong is a classical Chinese term. It refers to a utopian vision of the world in which everyone and everything is at peace. While life always plays jokes on people, Datongs peaceful life didnt last long. He was accused of abusing his son because of the bruises from Gua Sha. Act
16、ually, Datong was not the person who gave the little boy Gua Sha treatment. Its his father. But Datong decided to be a scapegoat. This was a culture difference. In Chinese traditional culture, law is not important than affection. Though we also praise those people who put righteousness above family
17、loyalty, nobody wants that happen to themselves. Chinese think that being a scapegoat for family members especially for father or mother is a responsibility. The biggest culture difference the film showed us was that Chinese culture was based on experience while western based on specific evidences.
18、Gua Sha has been used as a treatment for thousands years, and many people advocate it for their own experience. Just like many Ancient Chinese technique, we just know it is useful but we cant explain it clearly. So to persuade westerner to believe it seems impossible. Then cultures conflict happens.
19、 But we cant directly blame westerner in this case. Not only Gua Sha, but also laugh therapy and so on are not accepted by westerner as normal treatments. Its a responsible attitude for life. Because we know little about these treatments, we cannot make sure what is going to happen. And how we should deal with it? Ancient Chinese have given us the answer: While in Rome, do as Rome dose. But we should not abandon our own culture, just like Gua Sha, a treatment that helps blood circulate better. So keep on Gua Sha and communication. May be someday there will be a Datong World.
