[文章编号]1672-8610(2012)02-0070-03I.A Brief Introduction of the Film Scraping

The film Scraping tells the story a Chinese family has lived in the United States for eight years.Their child had a fever be-cause of an accident.The grandfather did not understand Eng-lish ,So he used Chinese traditional scraping therapy method for small grandson cure.When Dennis was sent to the hospital ,the nurse found the bloodstains on his back.They suspected that parents abused their child.Then ,the welfare of children put the child ’s father Xu Datong to court.In court ,Xu Datong could not explain the scraping was a kind of Chinese traditional treat-ment in English.In fact ,the treatment has existed in China for thousand years.It is a kind of natural treatment method.But it is an unfounded treatment in America ,and then the protagonist is sued by the Association.During the hard time ,Datong asked his best friend —John for help ,but John did not believe him and he could not offer the beneficial proof in the lawsuit for Datong when he saw the Dennis ’back.Then he has failed the lawsuit.And then Datong decided to live apart with his wife ,only in that way ,Dennis could go back home.At last ,John went to the Chi-nese Medicine House to experience the treatment.He eventually knew the truth and helped Datong clear his crime.Fortunately ,the family got together on the Christmas Day.The story has a happy ending.

Ⅱ.Culture Conflict between China and West

Culture conflict is the misunderstanding and difference between Chinese and Western culture.When we go abroad ,we always have different attitudes with the Western.Such as ,scien-tific and medical differences and so on.We can call these “Cul-ture Conflict ”.

2.1The expression of love in the film Scraping

The different understanding on the love seeps in every cor-ner.This is essential conflict in the film Scraping .The Chinese think that the people ’

s emotion is very important ,especially for family preference.Then ,they have different opinions about the respect.At the beginning of this film ,Xu Datong at awards cere-monies is enormously proud of his success that he has been fully integrated into American society and realized their American dream ,but he forgets the Chinese moral hiding in the heart.When Denis and Paul fight ,his interference is the best proof.Because Xu Datong ’s son did not apologize to the son of his boss ,he beat his son.Xu Datong later explained this act ,“I beat my son ,it is out of my respect for you.”As the typical westerner ,John felt that the explanation was very absurd.He only knew that beating is illegal ,for the Americans regard these as violent tendency.John thought young children fight was very common thing ,and adults did not need to interfere.The two dif-ferent concepts show that the different cultural backgrounds form different ideas.When they intertwine ,they will produce sharp conflict.

The different understanding on the love also embodies in terms of family in the film Scraping .Xu Datong ’s American so-cial life and work both do very well ,but it does not mean that the Chinese traditional culture in his mind has already disappeared.In Xu Datong ’s mind ,the family is also his spiritual prop.What he has done is to the family ’s happiness and reunion.In order to make the grandpa get a green card in the United States ,he ad-

mits that he gives the child scraping.In order that his son goes home,he chooses separation with his wife.In order that grandpa can glance at the grandson,he steals the son from the orphan-age.In the courtroom,Xu Datong loves his son,he even fights with defend.In order to give the child a Christmas present,he climbs to the nine floors regardless of the danger.In Western eyes,these are unbelievable,even illegal.

Parents love their children as unalterable principles in Chi-nese eyes.On the contrary,in the eyes of west law,American lawyer asks Xu Datong proves his love for their son,making him dumbfounding.In western society,the law exists in every cor-ner.Every dispute is resolved through legal channels,and the fact that everything must have sufficient evidence.

To love of children,the Americans will trouble to protect an irrelevant child with their own children,thus preventing a child “from abuse”and“awfully busy”.While the Chinese parents think parents beating their children as acceptable principles.That is an expression of love to their Children.Conflict arises from a misunderstanding,so we need to further exchange to elim-inate misunderstanding to each other.

2.2Conflicts between perceptual Chinese culture and rational Western culture

Westerners cherish individual freedom,like following one’s inclinations,only to be restricted.Chinese culture is more em-phasis on collectivism,and where personal interests obey collec-tive interests,and claims that share the joys and sorrows,unity and cooperation.As Westerners,they do not understand the Chinese people’s collectivism.

In the film,the two hearings meeting will be the most inci-sive cultural differences display.The judge simply emphasizes on the evidence,they have a medical authorities to prove their argu-ment,and have an ordinary judge only understanding English in-stead of learning about Chinese tradition.Although the judges,for the second hearing meeting,are moved because of Datong’s sincere telling.However,the final judgment is contrary to Chi-nese expectation,but to Americans it is reasonable.This not on-ly reflects the western world view of legal awareness in the in-grained,also reflects their value orientation towards the matter.In the field of medicine,scraping therapy in Chinese folk is very common,which is used as a therapy in Chinese medicine,and can cure some common diseases.However,this therapy is moved to the United States,becoming Datong abusing child’s evidence.Cultural differences from the different tradition inherit-ance arise from the cultural misreading.As we become adults,the education comes with“national”concept but we cannot give up the core beliefs.We feel that others’beliefs and habits are strange mainly because of their different cultural values.When John knows that it is not Datong who does the scrap-ing for Denis’s,he asks Jane Nin-why Datong will conceal the fact.Jane gives a very Chinese answer,“because he is a Chi-nese person”,I don’t know whether John understands Datong helps his father mainly owing to value rooted in Chinese culture.However,when he has experience of scraping and finds this does not abuse,he will be crazy to go to his friend“Xi Yuan”on the night of Christmas.We can see,conflict disintegration needs everyone sincerely exchange of experience and common efforts without any prejudice and resist mind.

Ⅲ.Reasons of Culture Conflicts in the Film Scraping

On the surface,the film Scraping reflects that the western society is ignorant of Chinese medicine,but fundamentally it em-bodies two kinds of Chinese and Western cultural conflict under the background of globalization,reflecting the strong Western culture rooted in the land.Since nineteenth Century,the western worlds have occupied a powerful economic control of the world.On the other hand,they try to establish a unified cultural output mode of west civilization and to belittle and defame other forms of civilization.Western society never seriously studies the broad and profound of Chinese culture,for they think that it is outdat-ed.This culture of mentality leads to western society bringing a-bout this bias about the Chinese traditional culture,including Scraping.

As a part of the ancient science of traditional Chinese medi-cine,the concept of treatment relies on the ancient philosophy.While modern science of western is an experimental science,and pays attention to the rational and empirical.They believe that science can explain everything.If this thing can be explained by the science,they think it is right.Because they do not under-stand the use of chemical molecular formula and laboratory,meanwhile,they can not aim directly at disease site.Finally,we always have different opinions to scraping.

Ⅳ.Fusion ways of Chinese and Western Cultures

4.1Correct attitude

We should see,as a result of the history and environmental factors,Chinese and Western culture are totally different devel-opment path,without superior or inferior.The more important is to respect each other rather than fight each other.The human civilization is colorful,while cultural conflict may lead to the ca-tastrophe of human civilization.The correct attitude of cultural differences is to identity:it not only agrees with this nation’s culture,but also respects for other cultures,learns from each other,seeks common ground while reserving differences,re-spects for cultural diversity and promotes prosperity and progress of human civilization.The fact that all rivers run into sea mental-ity makes colonial America becomes the first powerful nation of the world.

4.2Comprehensive introduction and communication

Cultural conflict is often caused by one-sided and emotion-al interpretation.A reference to Chinese,Westerners first

Western Cultures in the Film Scraping

thought is of long braids,bound feet.While a reference to the United States,Chinese first thought is KFC,sexual liberation.If we use this way to know the others’culture,of course,we can not have a good impression.At the same time,if we hope the Chinese traditional culture come into the world,we need careful comparison of the characteristics about Western culture and Chi-nese culture.We should find theirs’own unique cultural kernel and a variety of cultural carrier to be disseminated,let the world understand the true essence of Chinese culture rather than to ca-ter to Western grazing odd mentality.About the Scraping,if we need the westerners to accept it,we can use the modern scientif-ic terms to explain,and let the westerner’s experience the magi-cal effect of Scraping.I think this way may be more convincing.Cultural fusion is to enhance the communication between different cultures and understanding.The culture exchange can be held the Chinese and Western each year,sending students to study abroad,encouraging people to travel abroad.All this can promote the East-West cultural exchange.

4.3Transformation of cultures

In traditional culture,we should take the essence and dis-card its dregs.About the essence,we should preserve and inher-it.As dross,we must“change existing habits and customs”and “bring forth the new through the old”,consciously to improve or eliminate,thus reaching the harmonious coexistence between Chinese and Western culture.

Therefore,as for Traditional Chinese medicine,we should use modern scientific knowledge and methods to research tradi-tional Chinese medicine.Through combining traditional Chinese

and Western medicine,we create better new therapy than using traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine,thus solving that,some traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine alone can not solve the problem.

Ⅴ.Conclusion

Scraping lets us witness a culture of the collision and fu-sion.Cultural conflict is because of cultural differences,and it will never disappear,but this does not mean that intercultural communication study has no meaning.Intercultural communica-tions are the study of the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture,in order to find out an effective way to promote the cultural communication and coexistence.To find a balance between the American’s dream and the China’s soul,human life can benefit from multicultural fusion.

刮痧观后感800字

刮痧观后感800字 《刮痧》讲述了华人在国外由于东西方文化的冲突而陷入种种困境,最后又因人们的诚恳与爱心,困境最终被冲破的故事。那么在观看电影之后都有怎样的观后感呢?下面是小编分享给大家的刮痧观后感800字,欢迎阅读。 刮痧观后感800字【1】《刮痧》是一部中国大陆拍摄的以中国传统中医中刮痧治疗方法为载体,反映中、西方文化冲突的影片,移居美国的华人许大同的孩子感冒了,华人家庭用刮痧方法治疗,但却意外遭到儿童保护组织的控告,因为他们认为许大同有虐-待儿童的嫌疑,这场误会最终虽然消除了,但却给许大同的生活带来了灾难性的后果。看完成这部电影,让人没有办法感到轻松,我一方面为梁家辉饰演的父亲许大同对孩子、家人的深情所感动,另一方面也对中、西方文化之间巨大的鸿沟,以及相互了解的不对称性而感到惋惜。 中、西方两种文明之间存在文化差异是可以理解的,也是不可避免,要消除这种文化隔阂,就必须要相互增进了解,只有这样才有可能消除误会,但很遗憾的是,中、西方两种文明的交流,双方的态度和主动性都不一样,是非常地不对称,也就是说中国人对西方文化了解的程度,远远大于西方人对中国文化的了解程度,从片中可能看出,许大同一开始对美国的生活是非常向往,似乎已经融入西方主流社会,但

这都是许大同自己的努力适应,他们能够在西方人主导的社会中有所作为,说明他们非常了解西方文化,但“刮痧”事件发生后,让许大同一家感到震惊的是,西方人对中国的传统文化不仅仅是不知晓,甚至有些误解和歪曲,比方说片中对方律师对“刮痧”、“孙悟空”这些中国元素的解释,可以说完全是污蔑了,就算是这名律师是有意而为之,而法官、许大同的老板等对此也毫无认识,这就是文化交流的不对称性所造成的。 这种文化交流的不对称性,造成文化相互认知的不同,中国人对西方文化的认识远远大于西方人对中国文化的认知,而文化交流的不对称性,又是和国家实力相对称的,目前西方文化是世界主流的文化,就是因为西方的国家通常都是经济发达的国家,所以西方人自身就会产生一种文化优越感,所以他们就不可能主动去了解别的民族文化传统,包括中国传统文化,但作为中国人,我们要增进文化交流,不仅仅我们要多多学习西方文化,同时也应该积极地将本民族的文化向世界传播,过去我们就不重视自己的传统文化,甚至连中国自己也要贬低自己的传统,试想现在中国有多少人真正知道“刮痧”,有多少人看病会想到看中医,这了难怪“端午节”也被别人抢注了,筷子也被西方人认为是日本人发明的,等等诸如此类,现在中国的经济实力强大了,自然而然地学习中国文化的人增加了,我相信像电影中“刮痧”这样

从电影《刮痧》看中美文化差异

从电影《刮痧》看中外文化差异 一、个体主义与集体主义 ①中美文化差异 郝夫斯特将个体主义与集体主义定义为“人们关心群体主义成员和群体目标(集体主义)或者自己和个人目标的程序(个体主义)”。美国人多数强调个人主义,而中国人大部分强调集体主义。 ②从《刮痧》看中美个体主义与集体主义的差异 在个体主义与集体主义之间,美国人更为强调个体主义,其表现为对集体主义采取有限奉献态度。而中国人更为强调集体主义,其表现为认为组织、集体利益可高于个人的利益,可牺牲小我完成大我,强调对集体的完全奉献。在《刮痧》的影片中,有一幕发生在法庭上,有一位护士证人,在法庭上指证女主角简宁在分娩时,男主角许大同由于公司开会而未到场。由于简宁难产,所以在美国人眼里,许大同因为工作不顾简宁的生死是不可以原谅的。而许大同认为,不能因为个体的事而弃集体的事不顾。 二、权力距离 ①中美文化差异 郝夫斯特所提出的权利距离是指一个社会中的人群对权利分配不平等这一事实的接受程度。接受程度高的国际,社会层级分明,权力距离大,程度低的国家和民族,人和人之间比较平等,权力距离就小,将美国和中国相比,很显然,从社会、家庭就明显的看出权力距离大的是中国,美国则是权力距离小的国家。 ②从影片《刮痧》看中美权力距离差异 从影片中可以看出中国权力距离大,强调长幼有序,强调尊重长辈,而美国人强调人人平等,强调连丹尼斯一样的小孩都应与成年人一样平等。 同样以上一个例子来说吧,从护士证人的控词“他(许大同)说救大人,救大人,牺牲小孩”,“难道小孩就不配有生存的权利吗?”我们可以得知,美国人眼里,无论是多小的生命都好,都具有与成人一样的生存权利,而不是像我们中国人一样认为“留得青山在不愁没柴烧”。 第二,许大同在颁奖典礼上“教训”了丹尼斯,在中国人眼里认为,自己的儿子打了上司的儿子。身为父亲的许大同“教训”丹尼斯是为了尊重自己的上司。同为父亲,但在美国成长的上司昆兰却不解为什么。两个小孩打架之后,丹尼斯拒绝道歉,许大同不问青红皂白的当着所有人,不给丹尼斯面子,出手教训丹尼斯。而在后来影片中许大同也说出了这样做的理由,也是大部分中国人这样做的原因:“我打他是为了给你面子,尊重你们!”昆兰则不能理解,大部分美国人也不能理解,认为中国人是野蛮人。因为,在美国的权力距离小,认为人人平等,再小的孩子都应该与和成人一样平等,孩子没有做错,那就不应该接受批评。所以,在美国人看来,许大同是一个不称职的父亲,甚至一度被剥夺抚养权。 三、总结 影片《刮痧》在以美国为背景的环境下,以爷爷为孙子丹尼斯用刮痧的手段治病导致被误会为虐童主线,展示了一系列的中美文化差异。从这部影片中,我们可以得知,美国倡导的是个体主义,倡导人人平等;而中国则是倡导集体主义,并权力距离是比中国大的。

刮痧优秀观后感英文版 Last year,when I have the public elective course,our teacher introduces a film to us which is his favorite one--GuaSha.At that time,I was just angry at foreigner’s ignorance and deeply moved for Datong’s love for his son.At this time,I watch this film again from different point of view--the intercultural communication. Cultural differences are the most important point in the intercultural communication.At the beginning of this film,Datong with his family is attending his own victory banquet,his son Dennis hits his friend Paul,Paul’s parents think that’s ok,it’s just a fight between two kids.However,Datong and his wife Jenny have different reactions towards that situation.Jenny is a woman who is deeply affected by western thoughts,she doesn’t blame his son.At first,Datong asks his son to apologize to his friend Paul,but Dennis refuses to do that.So Datong is very angry because he thinks that he makes his friend loses his face.Hence,Datong strikes Dennis in his face.Everyone including his wife are shocked.The western parents regard it as family violence,while Datong as a traditional Chinese parent thinks that beating is a sign of affection and cursing is a sign of love.What he has

电影《刮痧》对文化差异认识的观后感

电影《刮痧》对文化差异认识的观后感 《刮痧》无疑是中国史上反映中西方文化差异最成功的电影之一。接下来小编搜集了电影《刮痧》对文化差异认识的观后感,欢迎查看。 电影《刮痧》对文化差异认识的观后感一随着全球化潮流的兴起,跨文化交际在人与人的交流中也显得尤为重要,《刮痧》观后感:对电影《刮痧》中文化差异的认识。观看了《刮痧》后也真正感受到了文化的差异性以及文化在交流中的重要性。下面从几个方面来说一下电影中体现的文化差异。 文化背景影响跨文化交际。首先是价值观念的不同,这是文化特质的深层结构。中美对于动与静的认知不同,中国人强调"静",更加注重做人。而西方包括美国则强调"动",更加注重做事,注重个人主义,注重隐私。如影片中,在颁奖晚会上大同对自己儿子的教育,采用拍打甚至被朋友看作是暴力的手段,这种对人的教育方式是不被美国人所接受的。再就是对待变化的态度上,中国人注重求稳而美国人则注重求变。这一点在影片中通过大同的父亲体现的尤为明显。大同的父亲看到自己的老朋友老霍在美国的工作、生活状况,并最终客死他乡让他很是伤感,这也是最终使自己返回北京"落叶归根"的一大因素,中学生作文《《刮痧》观后感:对电影《刮痧》中文化差异的认识》。还有对于人的天

性的认识,中国人主张性本善,对他人常有恻隐之心;而美国人主张性本恶,对他人也要用法度来规范其行为,绳之以法。如影片中大同的美国朋友昆兰在法庭上作证时并没有因私情而偏袒大同,而是讲出自己所看到的事实,作为中国人的大同却不能理解朋友的这种做法。 其次是民族性格的不同,这是文化特制的外化表现。中国人的民族性格中注重情感本位,讲求内敛含蓄,谦逊恭敬;而美国人则追求平等、民主、自由,讲求坦率真诚,注重个人隐私。在影片开始,大同和朋友一起进入颁奖大厅前,有很多人在门前搞反对游戏等活动,而美国警方则不会去制止,这体现了他们尊重言论自由。 再就是自然环境不同也会造成文化差异。亚洲的自然环境使得中国人更具有群体意识,并且很注重讲究等级次序,长幼有别;而在美国则是更主张自由平等,上级与下级之间也没有强烈的等级意识。电影中,男主角与他的老板之间既是上下级关系又是很好的朋友,而在中国自己与自己的老板是很好的朋友关系的情况却是很少。这就体现了中美的不同。 这部电影让我更加认识到了中美之间的文化差异,同时也让我知道了自己专业的重要性。我们是任重而道远。只有不断地充实自己,更加充分的认识到这种差异,才能更好的从事对外汉语教学。 电影《刮痧》对文化差异认识的观后感二每个国家

(完整word版)浅谈电影《刮痧》中的中西文化差异

浅谈电影《刮痧》中的中西文化差异 在《社会学》课上,老师给我们放了一部非常优秀的国产电影——《刮痧》。看完之后,我对影片中表现出来的中西文化差异感触颇多。因此可以说“刮痧”就是一个中西文化差异引起的纠纷。 故事发生在美国中部密西西比河畔的城市圣路易斯。主人公许大同是一位电脑游戏设计师。他在美国奋斗了八年,事业有成,家庭幸福。在年度行业颁奖大会上,他激动地告诉大家:我爱美国,我的美国梦终于实现!但是随后降临的一件意外却让许大同梦中惊醒。一天,他五岁的儿子丹尼斯闹肚子,从北京来的父亲对丹尼斯进行了中国传统的刮痧治疗。但是意想不到的是丹尼斯身上留下的刮痕竟然成了许大同虐待孩子的证据。法庭上,许大同发现无法用西医理论来解释刮痧原理,而控方律师又一再的歪曲中国的传统文化。最终,法官当庭宣布剥夺许大同的监护权,不许他和儿子见面。父子分离,夫妻分居,朋友分裂……接二连三的噩梦不断降临,一个原本幸福美满的家庭转眼间支离破碎。许大同原以为实现的美国梦也被这场从天而降的官司彻底粉碎。影片的最后,大同的朋友昆兰亲身尝试刮痧并为其正名,因此法官宣布了对许大同的解禁令,一家人终得团聚。 电影中一连串的误会和巧合造成了人物命运的曲折,但是究其根源,这一切都是中西文化差异造成的。可以说影片中许大同的遭遇有其偶然,但也是必然。美国人类学家霍尔曾引入文化冰山模式来解读文化冲突。在他的论述中,文化被比喻成漂浮在海面上的冰山,露出海面的冰山一角是显性文化,包括人们的行为举止及某些信仰。而暗藏在水下的大部分冰山则是隐形文化,包括人们的思维模式、价值观等更为深层的文化因子。而文化冲突主要就是隐性文化的冲突。正如《刮痧》中的许大同虽然在美国生活了八年,自己也成为了众多美国人眼中的成功人士,但是在隐性文化层面,他仍表现出了中西方文化间的差异,冲突也就在所难免。 在我看来,《刮痧》中的中西文化差异主要表现在四个方面:亲情观、友情观、人权观和道德观。 一、亲情观 在中国人眼中,“家”有着不可替代的重要位置,家人要互相关心、休戚与共,子女要遵守孝道。正因如此,在影片中,为了让父亲能够成功办理到美国绿卡,许大同谎称是自己给儿子刮痧。同时为了不让父亲担心,大同隐瞒了官司的事。后来昆兰知道了是丹尼斯的爷爷给其刮痧,不明白大同为什么始终隐瞒真相。大同的妻子只回答了一句“因为他是中国人”。 二、友情观 让我印象深刻就是影片中,昆兰出证听证会的一幕。昆兰是许大同在美国最好的伙伴,也是他事业上最好的搭档。可是昆兰却在听证会上说出了大同打孩子的事实,尽管这对许大同极度不利。西方在交友做事的轻重顺序是“法,理,情”,而中国人却刚好相反。在中国,人情被在了第一位。这也与中国自古以来的农耕思想,小农经济以及儒家思想有密切联系。中国就是一个人情的社会,但这一套在美国就不适用。因此,昆兰认为:我讲了事实,你不该打孩子。而大同却说:“我把你当朋友,你却出卖我。” 三、人权观 美国很重视人权。它提倡人人平等。在西方家庭里,每个成员,包括男性和女性,无论年龄,都是平等的且每个成员有权获得充分的民主和自由。所以昆兰认为大同打孩子是非法的。但在中国,父母认为管教孩子甚至打骂孩子都是天经

刮痧电影的中学生观后感5篇

刮痧电影的中学生观后感5篇 刮痧电影的中学生观后感(1) 昨日,忽然对《刮痧》这部电影重新燃起了兴趣。《刮痧》讲述一个发生在美国中部密西西比河畔的城市圣路易斯的华人家庭的故事。故事主人公之一,许大同,在美国生活努力拼搏八年后,事业有成,家庭幸福、和睦。 一天,许大同五岁的儿子丹尼斯肚子痛发烧,在家的爷爷因为看不懂药品上的英文说明书,便用自己熟悉的中国民间流传的刮痧疗法给丹尼斯治病。两天后的晚上,丹尼斯在黑暗中撞到了头,大同将其送往医院治疗,但在广慈医院,医生发现丹尼斯的背上有醒目的瘀红,便认为这是许大同长期虐待儿子丹尼斯而留下的证据。根据美国法律规定,体罚、虐待儿童将要受到法律的制裁。广慈医院像儿童福利局举报后,他们根据美国法律规定,对丹尼斯受虐待事件进行调查。调查期间,出于对受虐待儿童保护,法律规定在保护被虐待和忽视的儿童方面是专家的其他政府雇员有权决定将受虐待的儿童迁离家庭,儿童福利局监护决定先让丹尼斯由州儿童寄养中心监护。就这样,许大同夫妇与儿子分开了,并要他们接受法律的制裁。

在法庭上,控方一个又一个的证人和意想不到的证词,使得许大同方百口莫辩。争辩中,控方律师更是发挥了他的辩解能力,对中国传统文化与道德规范做了“全新解释”,许大同陷入了他的陷阱,最后终于失去冷静和理智,谩骂控方律师,并有动手打人的倾向,这正中控方的下怀:许大同是一个暴戾,有暴力倾向的人。这样的人,虐待孩子,不在话下。许大同方当然也理屈词穷。法官当庭宣布剥夺许大同的监护权,不准他与儿子见面。 其实,刮痧,就是利用刮痧器具,刮试经络穴位,通过良性刺激,充分发挥营卫之气的作用,使经络穴位处充血,改善局部微循环,起到祛除邪气,疏通经络,舒筋理气,驱风散寒,清热除湿,活血化瘀,消肿止痛,以增强机体自身潜在的抗病能力和免疫机能,从而达到扶正祛邪,防病治病的作用。爷爷给丹尼斯刮痧,治疗他的肚子痛和发烧,有益于他的身体健康。但是为何中国流传悠久的中医治疗--刮痧,到了美国,竟成了伤害身体的违法行为了呢? 有人说,这主要是由于东西方文化差异所造,如,大同在朋友昆兰面前打自己的儿子,认为是出于尊重昆兰,爷爷也认为,“人前教子,背后教妻”,“打是亲,骂是爱”,但是,在昆兰认为,大同打孩子不对,伤害他人身体。东西方的文化差异导致了大同与美国当地居民的法律观念冲突,能否和平、圆满地解决,关键在于不同文化的相互沟通和理解。确实,因为大同的老板、儿童

《刮痧》观后感 英文

When I first saw this film’s name Guasha Treatment ,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 . In addition , they can also never understand Chinese hit their children because of loving them . In America , people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law-beating children or leave them alone is illegal , but a Chinese old proverb says “ Spare the rod , spoil the child” .

从电影《刮痧》看中西文化的差异 电影《刮痧》是一部典型的揭示东西方文化差异导致文化矛盾的影片,它将这种文化差异细腻而深刻地展现在了观众们的面前。 故事发生在美国中部密西西比河畔的城市——圣路易斯。该影片主角许大同来美国8年,事业有成,家庭幸福。在年终行业颁奖大会上获得电玩游戏制作大奖。他激动地告诉大家:“我爱美国,我的美国梦终于实现了。”但随后降临的意外事件却使许大同从梦中惊醒,他五岁的儿子丹尼斯因闹肚子发烧。来美国探亲的爷爷因为不懂药品上的英文说明,便以中国民间传统的刮痧疗法为孙子治病,而这成了许大同虐待儿童的证据。接连不断的灾难噩梦般的降临。原来美好幸福的家庭转眼问变得支离破碎。努力多年以为已经实现了的美国梦被这一场从天而降的官司彻底粉碎。 该片从表面上看似乎是一场误会,是一场司法纠纷。但实际上所展现的是两种不同的文化所产生的碰撞和冲突。不同的地域、不同的语言、不同的民族、不同的历史渊源,形成了不同的哲学观念、宗教信仰、思维方式以及民族传统习惯。 这种文化差异是客观存在的,因此,不同文化间的冲突与碰撞也就在所难免了。 文化,是一个群体中的个人和集体在其生存过程中将其所获知识、经验、信仰、态度、意义、阶级、宗教、时代观念、生存角色、空间关系、世界观、物质观及价值观世代沉淀和传承的产物。跨文化交际学的创始人霍尔曾在《无声的语言》一书中指出:“文化存在于两个层次中,公开的文化和隐藏的文化。前者可见并能描述,后者不可见,甚至连受过专门训练的观察者都难以察知。”“隐藏文化”,顾名思义,是一种隐藏得较深、外表上“难以察知”的那一部分文化观念。 由于历史的原因,中国的文化古老而悠久,美国则显得更加现代,因此这种文化上的差异也就显现得更加突出与鲜明。本文以电影《刮痧》为切入点,来阐述中西方民族文化的差异,以揭示中西方民族文化深层结构中的隐藏部分。

刮痧电影英文观后感 刮痧电影英文观后感 刮痧电影英文观后感(一): 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。

从电影《刮痧》看中西文化

从电影《刮痧》看中西文化冲突与融合 一、《刮痧》中的文化冲突 刮痧这个在中国极为平常的传统治疗法,在美国却引起了那么大的冲突与灾难, 因为“说不清楚”,丹尼斯身上留下的刮痕自然被作为大同一家虐待儿童的证据,无论大同用英文和时儿夹杂着中文怎么解释都无法让美国人明白刮痧是什么。笔者认为与其说影片《刮痧》讲述的是许大同这个中国家庭在美国的遭遇,不如说是中国传统文化在美国因为不被理解和认同所处的尴尬和无奈的境地。影片中法官要求大同“找一个官方医生,用简练的、一个老法官能看懂的英文来说明刮痧”,但正如大同的辩护律师所说,“没有一本美国的医学教科书有关于刮痧的记载,那是不科学的,没有人会为此作证。”在法庭上,当许大同试图解释“刮痧”时,他不得不使用中文“丹田”、“七经脉等术语,因为美语里根本找不到相应的词汇来表达,许大同“dan2tian”和“seven jing and eightmai”让在场的美国人不知所云,法官阻止他继续说下去,让他们去找专家人士来说明“刮痧”为何物,可大同与其妻简宁费劲全力也找不到这样的人,他们只好放弃解释“刮痧”。影片中爷爷痛惜地自问:“刮痧在中国几千年了,到了美国怎么就说不清楚了呢?”就爷爷和大多数中国观众看来,刮痧这种治疗方法在中国那么普通,似乎美国人也理所当然地应该知道这一疗法,他们不懂应该是他们的错,这便是跨文化交际中最容易犯的错误,即将自己的文化强加给另一种文化,用自己的行为方式为标准来评判对方的行为。刮痧事件使得大同失去了对儿子的监护权以及随之而来的送父回国、带子亡、夫妻分居、朋友反目,其实这不仅仅是“刮痧”这一中医疗法与美国法律的冲突,它反映的是中国传统文化与异域文化相遇时产生的难以避免的碰撞和摩擦。 中国人的情感与美国法律 任何观看了这部影片的中国观众无一不被大同一家三代人之间浓浓的父子情、夫妻情和祖孙情所感动。大同毫无顾及地顶替他父亲说是他本人给儿子刮痧的,大同从福利院“偷”儿子到机场与即将回国的爷爷见面以及为了在圣诞夜与家人团聚大同冒着被逮捕的危险爬水管上九楼等都反映了中国人对亲情的重视,中国观众感动得眼泪汪汪,但大同的这些行为实际上都是美国法律不允许的。生活在一切都讲求法律的美国社会里,虽然大同爱子心切,但却拿不出证据来证明刮痧是中国的传统治疗法,无他怎样用语言来表达他是多么地爱自己的儿子都打动不了法官的心,法律只需要证据。美国是一个法制国家,法律存在于每一个角落,每一种纠纷都通过法律途径来解决,他们看重的事实,是证据。大同最终还是被判决与自己的儿子隔

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.

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.

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……

《刮痧》电影观后感精选范文

《刮痧》电影观后感精选范文 大家有没有观看过电影刮痧,会不会写关于电影刮痧的观后感。以下是我整理的观后感范文5篇,希望能够可以分享给大家进行参考和借鉴。 刮痧观后感范文一 《刮痧》是一部优秀的电影作品,适合不一样文化程度的观众观看,有诸多的成功之处,具有丰富的文化。 《刮痧》这部电影借一件小事反映了中美文化(或者说东西方文化)的冲突。电影中许大同的父亲的一句话最能说明这个问题。他说,刮痧在中国已经几千年了,怎样一到美国就说不清楚了呢其实说不清楚的何止是刮痧这种传统的中医疗法。象许大同代替父亲承认是自我给孩子“刮痧”,许大同对上司说的“我打孩子是对你的尊重”等等中国的传统道德规范,在上司桑兰那里又何曾得到明白和认同。 听证会上对方律师对中国名著《西游记》的曲解,有几分故意的成分,但也不可否认有必然的因素。据调查此刻的大部分美国人对中国的了解还停留在中国解放前的情景,中国是贫穷落后的,中国人还穿着长袍马褂等等。此刻歧视中国人的事情在美国还时有发生。当大同送父亲回来,将孩子带回托管所,一向中国特色的猴王玩具掉在地上,受到警察的践踏,难道受到践踏的仅仅是一个玩具,恐怕受到践踏的还有中国文化吧! 当然,事情最终得到圆满解决,法庭的起诉撤销。这种结果的产生,除了人正常的良知以外,更多的是由于相互之间的沟通和明白。我想,《刮痧》中男主人公的名字叫“大同”,其目的或者其象征也就在此吧!如果说这部电影是一个

寓言,其寓意也正在与此。 《刮痧》的另一个明白层面是情感,包括父子之爱,母子之爱、夫妻之爱、祖孙之爱、朋友之爱。这几者又以父子之爱为主要方面。 电影中出现了两对父子,祖孙三代,但他们之间的爱却是相通的。许大同在法庭上的一段独白最能代表所有父亲的心声。“……此刻我不这样想了,我只期望他能平平安安,期望他幸福、健康、欢乐。我为自我是一个父亲而自豪,像所有的父亲那样,我爱我的儿子胜过一切。”值得注意的是,许大同的父亲在给大同的信中写道:“我如今别无他求,就是盼着你们一家三口,能平平安安的……”均用了“平安”二字。恐怕这是父子之爱的最好表达,真是可怜天下父母心! 《刮痧》中许大同夫妇在事情发展中的不一样表现,很好的展现了父母对孩子的爱的不一样表现,同时也表现出夫妻之爱的不一样。许大同对妻子的爱是深沉的,简宁对丈夫的爱是细致的。看过这部电影的人大概都不会忘记许大同夫妻二人喝酒的场面。在这之前,简宁先做的是收拾大同的房间和阻止大同喝酒。当两人喝醉之后,简宁说大同是臭狗屎,大同表示了认同,这是对由于自我不冷静失去儿子的最深的自责。但当简宁说自我是“贱货”时,大同却表现出无比的激动,阻止妻子这么说。在那里表现出男生的爱,不善措辞,却又深沉如海。那里也表现出男生坚强背后的软弱一面。 另外,《刮痧》还涉及东西方人在性格上的差异,例如许大同和上司桑兰对“朋友”的不一样明白,不一样场合美国人表现出的幽默等。从中我们还能够看出美国在法制和社会保障制度方面的健全,中国的某些传统的道德规范并不必须正确,中国的传统医学有待进一步科学化和世界化等问题。《刮痧》是一部成功的电影作品。能够说,在电影中,“刮痧”本身只是一滴水,但其资料确实十分

论文由电影刮痧看中美文化差异开题报告

Research Proposal 班级10二专英语学号200908063199 姓名庄瑜 ⅠTitle of my thesis The Difference between Chinese and American Cultures Reflected in The Treatment 由电影《刮痧》看中美文化差异 ⅡLiterature review Since global is impossible to hold back. The communication between different cultures is getting more and more frequently. But the different values and the way deal with things of different cultures lead to culture conflicts in culture communication. And this paper is working on dig deep on the movie The Treatment directed by Zheng Xiaolong on culture difference and the way for main culture conflicts. Because the Inter-culture Communication has been used more and more widely and frequently, but on the other hand people has little knowledge of culture difference. People may learn how dose other country’s people live from different kind of media and news. But it’s not only incompletely but also with political view. So some colleges open some Inter-culture Communication courses to let students learn more about culture difference to adapt to the increasing Inter-culture Communication and gain more competition in their career. But to be honest, those courses can just lead the students to Inter-culture Communication not grapple the matter of Inter-culture Communication. But films have its adventures. It’s less infected by the policy, and it’s much easier for audiences to get the main idea. That’s why film becomes such an important role in learning culture difference. But in the daily life as far as I know a normal problem that student often ignores the teaching part but focus on the entertainment part. So I took Director Zheng Xiaolong’s movie The Treatment as breakthrough point and dig the details to show the matter. I hope this paper could help students in a way. In 1960s, it’s a time of Information Technology. Canadian specialist Marshall McLuhan came up with an idea of “Global Village”. T hat’s a giant leap in human communication history between

Climb The Pipe, Bridge The Gap 11291072 田轶男 As an ethic movie, Gua Sha highlights the differences between American and Chinese culture incisively and vividly.The movie shows us how easy the misunderstandings arising from different cultural perspectives and how simple it can be nullified if both sides are willing to listen to the explanations. The most moving scene happens at the end of the movie, when the father, Xu Datong who has a strong willing to reunite with his family, climbs a pipe to the ninth floor with his gift for his son at the Christmas Eve. In my eyes, the pipe he climbs has become not only a pipe, but also a gap, a deep gap between American and 5000-year Chinese culture. Finally, with the help of his American friend Abram, he gets his destination, and at the same time, builds a bridge between Chinese and American culture. Gua Sha, a Chinese traditional medicine craft, survives in the long river of 2000 years of history, remaining to build Chinese robust body. However, when it is exposed in America, big troubles follow. The

刮痧观后感高中生范文5篇 ——WORD文档,下载后可编辑修改—— 刮痧观后感1 昨日,忽然对《刮痧》这部电影重新燃起了兴趣。《刮痧》讲述一个发生在美国中部密西西比河畔的城市圣路易斯的华人家庭的故事。故事主人公之一,许大同,在美国生活发奋拼搏八年后,事业有成,家庭幸福、和睦。 一天,许大同五岁的儿子丹尼斯肚子痛发烧,在家的爷爷正因看不懂药品上的英文说明书,便用自我熟悉的中国民间流传的刮痧疗法给丹尼斯治病。两天后的晚上,丹尼斯在黑暗中撞到了头,大同将其送往医院治疗,但在广慈医院,医生发现丹尼斯的背上有醒目的瘀红,便认为这是许大同长期虐待儿子丹尼斯而留下的证据。根据美国法律规定,体罚、虐待儿童将要受到法律的制裁。广慈医院像儿童福利局举报后,他们根据美国法律规定,对丹尼斯受虐待事件进行调查。调查期间,出于对受虐待儿童保护,法律规定在保护被虐待和忽视的儿童方面是专家的其他政府雇员有权决定将受虐待的儿童迁离家庭,儿童福利局监护决定先让丹尼斯由州儿童寄养中心监护。就这样,许大同夫妇与儿子分开了,并要他们理解法律的制裁。 在法庭上,控方一个又一个的证人和意想不到的证词,使得许大同方百口莫辩。争辩中,控方律师更是发挥了他的辩解潜质,对中国传统文化与道德规范做了“全新解释”,许大同陷入了他的陷阱,最终最

终失去冷静和理智,谩骂控方律师,并有动手打人的倾向,这正中控方的下怀:许大同是一个暴戾,有暴力倾向的人。这样的人,虐待孩子,不在话下。许大同方当然也理屈词穷。法官当庭宣布剥夺许大同的监护权,不准他与儿子见面。 其实,刮痧,就是利用刮痧器具,刮试经络穴位,透过良性刺激,充分发挥营卫之气的作用,使经络穴位处充血,改善局部微循环,起到祛除邪气,疏通经络,舒筋理气,驱风散寒,清热除湿,活血化瘀,消肿止痛,以增强机体自身潜在的抗病潜质和免疫机能,从而到达扶正祛邪,防病治病的作用。爷爷给丹尼斯刮痧,治疗他的肚子痛和发烧,有益于他的身体健康。可是为何中国流传悠久的中医治疗--刮痧,到了美国,竟成了伤害身体的违法行为了呢 有人说,这主要是由于东西方文化差异所造,如,大同在朋友昆兰面前打自我的儿子,认为是出于尊重昆兰,爷爷也认为,“人前教子,背后教妻”,“打是亲,骂是爱”,可是,在昆兰认为,大同打孩子不对,伤害他人身体。东西方的文化差异导致了大同与美国当地居民的法律观念冲突,能否和平、圆满地解决,关键在于不一样文化的相互沟通和明白。确实,正因大同的老板、儿童福利局的官员、法官对刮痧都一无所知,大同的解释也无法让具有工具理性的美国人明白何谓刮痧,当然也无法和理解刮痧,况且他们也未曾体验过刮痧,只看到的只是刮痧给丹尼斯身体留下的醒目淤血。看到伤痕,联想到承受如此严重的淤血的痛苦,他们更坚信眼见的才是事实才是真相。 其实,造成这样的冲突的还有一个原因,那就是彼此间的法律观念不
