第一篇:刮痧读后感
I read in the circle to be optimistic about the film “Gua Sha” ,after the greatest feeling is very difficult to blend into local culture.After years of hard work, Xu Datong, a Chinese immigrant to the US, has finally achieved success as an outstanding video game designer.With his promising career and loving family, he feels he has become a true American.Datong’s father comes over from China, and uses a traditional Chinese medical technique, called guasha, to treat Datong`s son, Dennis.Unexpectedly, an American doctor thinks the bruises on Dennis` back left by the guasha treatment are signs of child abuse, and the finger is pointed at Datong.The Treatment is a moving portrayal of the enormous gulfs between cultures and their possible repercussion between cultures and their possible repercussions.Xu datong is a video games designer in St.Louis.When his father visits from China, he performs Gua Sha 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.

Review of Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a classical film reflecting the cultural conflicts between China and the United States.It vividly shows different values and thoughts between these two countries.The plots start with Datong slapping his son in order to save his boss’s and his own faces.The traditional concept of Chinese people is that son should be obedient to father.Son should not resist otherwise it is to fight for father’s dignity.So when Datong’s son doesn’t admit his mistake, Datong becomes very angry and slaps his son.From the astonishment on his boss’s face, he doesn’t agree with this behavior.Datong thinks it can save his boss’s face.However, on the contrary, it leaves his boss the impression of a violent father.As a result, the boss admits on the court that Datong has slapped his son.Datong thinks that his boss has betrayed him.It is just the cultural differences between the China and United States.American people pay less attention to their face than Chinese people.And Chinese people attach great importance to the collective benefits.They will sacrifice personal interests to assure collective benefits.Conflicts reflected in this film are just part of the differences between these two countries and the conflicts will continue in a long time.It will not be changed but integrated in a degree.English 107

第三篇:《刮痧》读后感
《刮痧》观后感
在美好的圣诞节氛围中,一身圣诞老人打扮的许大同与简宁和孩子抱在一起痛哭,看到这样的情景,不禁让人心酸。这样的结局,可是我似乎总觉得缺少了一些东西。
在这部电影中,虽然强调的是文化冲突,可是我觉得更像是提醒我们要珍惜我们古老优美的文化,那是我们的根。外国人可以不理解,但是我们自己一定要把它当成传家宝一样珍惜。在我们这一代,中国文化的遗失问题已经迫在眉睫了。大家似乎都对中国古老悠久的文化没有任何感觉了,不仅没有了热爱,更有甚者是觉得中国文化不屑一提。这是多么让人痛心?!看到电影里那些外国人对中国文化的不屑,那种根本不屑去了解的觉得根本就很荒谬腐朽的态度,难道就不能激起我们对自己文化的珍惜?文化是民族的根,一个失去了自己文化的民族,就像一棵失去了根的大树,即使再枝繁叶茂,也终究只会走向枯萎。
说到这,我就很想说说我的看法了。我觉得的确中国文化中有糟粕,可是哪国文化中没有糟粕呢?我们那么多优美的古老文化的光芒难道不能掩盖那些糟粕?显然是能的。可是有些人就爱拿我们文化中的糟粕说事,从来就不看看我们的精华,片面的否定我们的文化。真是可气!
在文化冲突中,有些人也总是倾向于外国文化。这真是让人很无奈。比如教育孩子,许大同打了孩子就是为了给他朋友一个面子,当然不是赞同家长打孩子,可是我觉得外国人也必须要理解我们所表示的尊重,而不是只知道指责我们的打孩子。我很倔强的觉得我们的一些观念是几千年来产生的,是符合我们中国人的,没必要盲目跟着外国人改变我们的观点。就像是我们可以为了亲情牺牲自己,我们可以感情用事,我很喜欢简宁说的那句话:“因为他是中国人!”
再来看看我们的出国热吧。当然我先要说我们不能一叶障目,不能因为文化的冲突就去全盘否定外国的文化,我们还是需要从外国文化中吸取精华,否则,全盘的否定只会让历史悲剧重新上演。但是,正如鲁迅先生说的,吸取精华不是拿来主义,现在大家的出国都是为了吸取精华吗?显然不是。在一个盲目崇拜外国文化的环境中,大家开始因为自己对外国文化的崇拜或是环境的被迫纷纷选择出国。这样有意义吗?最终只是造就了一堆海归派,一个大家都是对之苦笑的名词。
我们必须承认外国有些文化的先进,我们也需要学习,但我们学习的同时也需要理智。文化是在一定的背景中产生的,所以不是所有的先进文化我们都可以拿来用的。一味滥学滥用,只会打乱我们自己的文化。我在这里想强调的就是希望大家在学习和利用外国先进文化时都能理智一点。要相信我们自己的文化也是很优秀的!!看到电影中许大同和简宁的委屈,想想许大同领奖时的那句话“为留在美国而自豪”我真是觉得脸红,不知道美国人看到这些想拼命留在美国的中国人是不是很可笑呢?有自己的国家,却拼命留在外国,忍受着外国人的践踏,真是何必呢。当然现实没有我说的“践踏”那么夸张,可是我觉得活在自己的国土难道不是一种幸福吗?
最后误会消除了,许大同一家三口团圆了,可是这样的结局圆满吗?我始终不能忘记老人走的时候那番话,那个背影。都说养儿为防老,可是老人却孤身一人回到了北京,一个人孤独终老。当然我也知道许大同也不想这样,可是事实就是老人自己颤巍巍的离开了美国,离开了自己这辈子可能再也见不到的最爱的孩子们。这份亲情就这样成了许大同美国梦的牺牲品。但愿现实不是这样的残酷!

The film “gua sha”tells the story the life of an immigrant American family that came from Beijing: the 5-year-old Chinese child Dennis stomachaches and had a fever, so his grandfather use Chinese traditional way-gua sha-to treat him.However, Datong couple was accused of child abuse and then, one after another evidence of witnesses had made the couple in a trouble, because Western medicine can not simply understand this traditional Chinese therapies.In court, a series of debates came, a happy family shortly became so fragmented.All this reaction came from the large level of globalization ,which is cultural differences.Gua sha is a Chinese traditional treatment methods spread over two thousand years, of course, there will be some congestion in the body traces, but the body is good.In the film, Ta Tung said: “I love America!Here is my home!” Eight years of American life has made him confident that he was American.But no matter how he said, how fluent English he said, how American life he loves,his bones are rooted in traditional Chinese culture.For example, Dennis and a friend's son fight, he would give his son punishment in public,and he says“playing the curse of love is pain”.All this is known as “Democracy, rule of law, science,” which are the American political and the law can not understand.Contempt for his country's culture is actually the concept of an individual's culture and values in this kind of contempt.I had forgotten who said these words.Americans and Chinese people educate their children in a different way.The United States in this way, not to say desirable, but at least you can listen to the child's views and opinions.Although there is no independent civilian child ability, but he is conscious and has some ability to distinguish an independent entity.Even if they will not all believe the child, the child’s words can also be part of his reaction to judge his true condition.At this point,the movie did not reflect.The U.S.attorney hired by the prosecution in court described the “Journey to the West” in the Monkey: Ta Tung immigrant to the U.S.to prove violent: “They planted nine years of peaches, he did not say hello to fight with the owner they pick to eat, when people stop him, he does not only did not listen to discourage, but also fight and ruined people's Taoyuan.No Chinese people would stand such stupid words towards Chinese traditional culture!
Sino-us differences in performance of the film, but also expressed cultural assimilation, cultural fusion of a kind of yearning.Abram passed from Queensland Chinatown porcelain store, personal try ”gua sha“;From xu Datong get rid of shows, downstairs police, residents erupted with applause, from he climbed the ninth floor of the house, the house and the children of alarm welfare leadership congratulated him holy happiness, welcome home, audiences seem to see the westerners preached the Chinese and western cultural barriers, began to approach of traditional Chinese culture, and eventually conquered all human feelings.The end of the story is perfect, but also must not ignore the cultural difference side, which requires us to strengthen exchanges and communication, hope in the near future, a ”Datong" world really will appear in front of us!

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.
