篇一:刮痧英语观后感
Chinese immigrants struggle to hold onto their American dream after the husband's father (Xu Zhu) comes for a visit from mainland China and gives a si-mp-le Chinese Medicine therapy called Gua Sha to his grandson.
Da Tong (Tony Leung Ka Fai) is the father who is trying to integrate his Chinese cultural beliefs into his daily American reality, especially when dealing with his bo(Hollis Huston) and best friend, who is too quick to believe the worst about Da Tong's treatment of his son, Dennis. Da Tong's failures show his confusion about the differences between his original Chinese culture and his new American home. Even within his family there is conflict because Grandfather can't speak English and is excluded from many conversations because Mother (Wenli Jiang) wants only English spoken in her home for the benefit of her American born son. Da Tong and his wife are very well educated and understand that their child's best chances for succein America, and for him not to experience the same troubles they've had during the past 8 years, are to speak without an accent. They even go so far as to insist the boy use a fork and knife instead of chopsticks, even when it's obvious they are still eating Chinese style food, served in the normal way: communal dishes for the food and smaller, individual rice bowls for each person. Mother seems a bit inflexible in her insistence on being as American as possible, while Da Tong's cultural leanings are just as strongly Chinese, although not by conscious choice.
Da Tong's love for his son is tested severely when Da Tong tries to balance it against respect for his boss. When Da Tong's son hits his boss' son, Da Tong insists on an apology that seems unnecessary and makes Da Tong look stubborn and uncaring. Da Tong gives his boy a light rap on the head when he refuses to apologize and the boy cries to his mother that the reason he hit his playmate was that the other boy called Da Tong stupid, one of many examples of doing the wrong thing to protect your family.
The conflict arising from doing the wrong thing out of love or respect for one's family or closest friends continues throughout the movie, and every way Da Tong turns, he finds failure and encounters both obvious and subtle forms of anti-Chinese racism. Even Chinese folklore about the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong, that Da Tong incorporates into a video game he designed is used to provoke his pride when he's vulnerable and fearing for the loof his son. Da Tong is misunderstood by everyone, family, friend, and foe, even though he has only the best intentions, and he carries the responsibility quite heavily, ma-ki-ng one wrong turn after another.
Gua Sha (The Treatment) shows how a person's cultural beliefs are so deeply set within oneself that it is usually impossible to examine why you do most anything, from how you dreand talk to whom you love and respect and how you show it. The invisible nature of one's cultural beliefs also makes it difficult to impossible to explain yourself to others when questioned. Da Tong experiences an excruciatingly painful and difficult struggle while trying to protect his son, an ordeal that forces him to examine the validity of some of the most vital things he thought he knew about his identity, his Chinese culture, and the new American world he'd chosen as his home.
The movie showed me how normal it is for people to look for ways that their culture is superior to others' and how the misunderstandings arising from different cultural perspectives can seem very large, but can be nullified with si-mp-le, 2-sided explanations when people are willing to listen.
It appears this film is not readily available in the USA, but it's the best I've seen at highlighting the differences between American and Chinese culture. Parts of the movie's dialog are only in Chinese and I've yet to find a DVD with English subtitles, although it's easy to get the gist of what's going on during those short passages. The credits are a combination of Chinese and English, holding true to the integration of both worlds. I've noticed some important roles are not credited here on IMDb, such as Judge Horowitz, who was played by Alexander Barton。
篇二:刮痧英语观后感
Last week, I’ve watch the film named GUA SHA. Actually, GUA SHA has another professional form as skin scraping. But I think it was not correctly enough. GUA SHA is a traditional medical treatment. The main function is to accelerate blood circulation. It has a good effect on hypertension, heatstroke and so on. Once upon a time, our ancestors had told us generation by generation. We all believed its influence.
The story of this film happened in America. The hero, Datong Xu, an Chinese people made a great succeand realized his American dream. He said, he loved America and America is an place filled with opportunities in a victory meeting. But an unfortunate thing came to him. One day, his five-year-old child called Denis got a fever. The grandpa can’t understand the English introductions on the drugs. So he did GUA SHA for Denis. Unexpectedly it became the evidence for child abuse. Datong Xu was accused of child abuse. On the court, one after another witnetestified his bad behavior to his child. He can’t explain clearly about GUA SHA. In the face of so many distorted allegations, he became crazy. Meantime, he was deprived of Denis’s custody. He was forbidden to meet Denis. His father decided to return to China. Everything changed. He lost his harmonious family, his trust friends, his perfect job. He lost everything. He was forced to live in the slum. In the slum, the couple hugged and cried together.
At Christmas, he missed his son very much. Then he pretended as Santa Claus to see his son secretly. The guide didn’t let him in. He climbed the water tube. At that time, police came. He can see Denis. He succeeded at last.
The film reflects the cultural shock in foreign country. Finally the hero overcame the obstacles through his endeavor. It deeply impressed me that the difficulty we must face in the foreign country, because of the distinguished culture. Only more communication we make, leproblems it may appears. It is a long way for us to go. We should put it in mind.

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.
篇一:电影《刮痧》
郑晓龙2001年的影视作品《刮痧》,由梁家辉和蒋雯丽主演,在以美国为背景的环境中,以中医疗法“刮痧”为线索,形象展示了中西文化的差异。刮痧在中国是一门医学上传统的手艺,在两千多年的历史长河里,一直稳稳健健地在中国大地上繁衍生息,然而有一天,它出现在美国社会中,便被人误解,以至于上演了一场家庭的悲欢离合。
在这部影片中让我看到了中西方文化差异之外,也看到了父爱的伟大。作为一个中国知识分子的老人只身一人来到美国,一句抱怨也没有,哪怕听不懂,但是用自己的眼睛,慢慢观察,细细相处。当他看明白了,也只是抽烟,也许这样他可以沉默,他可以更加想清楚,想透彻。这样的男人就是典型的中国父亲,但是他也有缺点就是他的毛病--抽烟,抽烟的频率太大,不论场合不论地点都抽。哪怕媳妇再不喜欢也要偷偷的抽,也许这是老一辈的通病吧!但他对子孙的爱确实是那样的伟大,当他知道他给丹尼斯刮痧,没想到会扯上这么多事,他主动儿子上司家里解释,他不懂英语,搭车过也只是一张纸片,但是他有他的聪明,最后他还是让上司知道刮痧不是许大同做的,刮痧也不是件虐待儿童的事。因为自己的过失而使儿子吃上官司事,他选择离开,在上飞机前他捧着儿子的脸,细细的看着。那一刻无不让人感动。这就是秉承传统的父亲啊!
梁家辉所饰的许大同更把这个受过传统教育的人表现得淋漓尽致!他的坏脾气,他的爱,是一个没有经过任何修饰的,丝毫不掩饰,有了很多美国的气息,更多的直接和鲜明的表达。但他内心深处仍保留着传统的观念。丹尼斯和保罗打架,他硬生生的给了丹尼斯一掌,他在用中国的方式表示了他对上司的尊重。儿子不能回家,他心力交瘁,他用中国的方式求上司,求朋友,但是美国是个讲求原则和证据的地方,不是这样就可以解决的'。为了儿子他自己写证词,证明自己多么多么爱孩子,组织了无数次,但在听证会上他是有感而发的,那是一个父亲对儿子的爱,是真挚的善良的。他在公园里,迎着寒风,自己做了一个有孙悟空面相的熊仔,在公园被打劫,二话不说的把钱包给他,但是劫犯伸手抢走他的熊仔时,他奋力的扑上,好像什么都不怕,差一点把他打死,这样的勇猛也是爱的表现。最后他化身圣诞老人企图进入家里,但是被发现,他竟想着从外排水管爬上,幸好法院撤销他的分居事宜,不然他这样进又是违法。总的来说中国的父亲都是这样,为了孩子可以做很多很多他们以为做不到的事,父爱也许不及母爱那样细腻。但他就像孙悟空,不管前途多么艰辛,他依旧会对你笑,一眼嬉戏的带着你千山万水,不然你看出他的疲倦。父爱,深深感动每一个人。
最后就是那些不认识的人,对于别人的孩子护士发现小丹尼斯背上的刮痧所致的伤痕时马上报案,其他人也为了小孩不生活在自己认为的虐待环境中而不惜出庭作证,连许大同的老板兼朋友那个人同样出席,因为他们认为这是为了对小孩好。这在今天的中国这些精神是非常重要的。
这部电影除了让我感到到了中西方文化差异之外,也感受到了深深地父爱。

It’s about assimilation into American culture, and not assimilation in an “International” city, like SF or NY or LA or Chicago, but St. Louis, MO (actually shot there). Really great acting, interesting story.
Gua Sha is a treatment in traditional oriental medicine in which a wooden board repeatedly slides across the patient’s acupuncture acupressure massage points. It works in similar principles like that of acupuncture acupressure massage. This method would inevitably leave bruise on the skin, and the story begins here, when the visiting grandpa who does not speak any English used this traditional practice to treat the grandson when both son and daughter-in-law were at work.
Sadly, 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.Gua Sha: Step-by-Step, by Arya Nielsen.If an acupuncturist is trained in Classical Chinese medicine, they will do this technique in their practice for pain, and for acute or chronic illness.
