刮痧观后感(英语版本)

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 favoriteone--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 thisfilm,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 twokids.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 hasdone is to teach his son to show respect to other people.From there,we can see the cultural differences between western parents and Chinese parents in treating their children.From my perspective,I think Datong is a contradiction.He grows upin China,but immigrates to western country later.So Datong is familiar with Chinese culture,meanwhile he is affected by western culture.He usually treats his son by traditional Chinese ways,but sometime he treats his son like a foreigner parent.For example,he can share secrets with his son and respect his opinions.So,that is why I say Datong is a contradiction.The highlight of this film is about the debate on the hearing andthat is the most obvious part of cultural differences in the intercultural communication.The defense lawyer of Child Welfare Agency has the evidence to charge him of abusing his son,they find a nurse who is responsible for Jenny’s parturition.She says that Datong choose to save his wife not the child when Jenny is in danger during parturition,and he even doesn’t give the child chance to live.however,Datong holds different opinion about that.He argues that if his wifelive,they can always have more kids,just as a Chinese famous saying goes where there's life there's hope.So we can know the different concept between Chinese people and foreigners.In this film,there are two big misunderstandings about Chinese culture.One is about Journey to the West and another one is about Guasha.The defense lawyer says that Sun Wukong is representative of violence,while the truth is Sun Wukong is a good and honest hero and represents our traditional values and ethics.Another misunderstanding isabout Guasha.Guasha is a traditional Chinese medicine cure without medical evidence.However s it has become the direct evidence of abusing child.The conflicts in this film is the conflicts between two totally different cultures.And it deserves us to ponder over.From this film,we should know that if we want to get knowledge of intercultural communication,the first step is to understand cultural differences.第二篇：刮痧影评英文版Actually, in the beginning ,I do not reckon GuaSha worth a written comment just according to the literal meaning I’ve got. But my views on this movie have been dramatically changed after I finishing it. In this passage, I will organizemy comments in three parts:1. the summary of this movie.2. the differences between Chinese and English culture reflected in this movie.3. Conclusion.Section1: GuaSha shapes a vivid image of a man whose name is DaTongxu. He is a man with a beautiful and virtuous wife .What’s more ,he has a happy family. However, everything has changed since an unexpected lawsuit came to him which is triggered by the Chinese traditional medical treatment---GuaSha, which leads to the separation between DaTong and his wife as well as his family. The plot then is expanded from this word…Section2: There are so many differences in two cultures reflected in this movie. Firstly, the way people think or treat about some rituals. For example ,during the party, DaTong insists that he hits his son out of the respect for John, while John considers it a rude behaviour towards Danis.And to some extent, DaTong breaches the law. Secondly, from the way they have dinner ,we can see their living styles are different from ours. They use forks and knives ,but we use chopsticks. Then, in western countries, everything is judged according to proof. When they handle something, they prefer to appeal to the lawwhile Chinese are inclined to tackle these difficulties with their own efforts. Next, for love , DaTong is advised to tell the truth that it is his father who does GuaSha treatment to Danis. But DaTong just keeps silent. Chinese emphasize filial affection towards the senior. In contrast ,westerners just want to seek the truth. At last, the cognition of genuine medical treatment is of difference. Traditional Chinese medical treatment is assumed to be fake treatment in western countries.(Here are some extracts from the movie:1. It’s not a right thing to hit a child. Sometimes it may break the law.2. To hit somebody means to love somebody.3. In China ,we use chopsticks, but here you use forks.4. It is illegal for parents to leave their children at home alone.5. GuaSha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment.6. There isn’t any written proof can prove GuaSha is a real treatment.7. Husband doesn’t care about his son if he is absent when his son is born.8. To keep the mother alive is more important than the son’s life.9. Hit his own son to show the respect for his boss.10. It’s necessary to tell the truth.11. Because he is a Chinese, he should be filial.12. Better early than late if you will take the plane. ) Conclusion：In this movie ,what strikes me most is the love that DaTong has towards his son and his father. Absolutely, DaTong is a tough and filial man. In order to get his son back, he ignores any punishments from the law… Apparently, if there is any difference still existing among different cultures, the possibility of melting people’s attitudes together is somewhat of difficulty. Maybe, colliding with other cultures is just the appropriate way for cultures to assimilate into each other.。

刮痧观后感,english3200字Guasha is a documentary film that was directed by Xu Tong in 2015. The film revolves around the life of a traditional Guasha practitioner named Hao Dongmei, who has been practicing this ancient healing art for over ten years. Guasha is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to help relieve tension and stimulate the body's natural healing processes. As an audience member, I found this film to be thought-provoking, inspiring, and visually captivating.The film was structured in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to follow the story of Hao Dongmei and her journey as a practitioner of Guasha. The use of high-quality visuals and sound also enhanced my viewing experience, as the stunning landscapes and traditional music helped to transport me to the world of traditional Chinese medicine.Throughout the film, I was struck by the dedication and passion that Hao Dongmei had for her work. Despite facing many challenges and criticisms from her own community, she remained steadfast in her belief that Guasha could help people. I was particularly moved by her commitment to helping individuals who suffered from chronic pain, and the way she used her expertise to alleviate their suffering.One of the most memorable scenes from the film was when Hao Dongmei was treating an older woman who had been suffering from severe knee pain for many years. After just a few minutes of Guasha treatment, the woman was able to walk without pain for the first time in years. This scene was a powerful reminder of the healing power of traditional medicine and the importance of preserving these ancient practices.Another aspect of the film that I enjoyed was the use of quotes from famous Chinese poets and philosophers to help frame the narrative. These quotes added a sense of depth and richness to the film, highlighting the cultural significance of Guasha and traditional Chinese medicine.In terms of learning and inspiration, Guasha left me with a greater appreciation for the power of traditional medicine and the importance of preserving these ancient practices. It also reminded me of the healing power of touch and the importance of taking a holistic approach to healthcare.Overall, I would highly recommend Guasha to anyone who is interested in traditional Chinese medicine, or anyone who is looking for a thought-provoking and visually stimulating documentary. This film is a beautiful testament to the power of healing and the resilience of the human spirit.。

As a seasoned film critic, I find myself drawn to films that offer a profound exploration of cultural differences and the human condition. Gua Sha Treatment is one such film that has left an indelible impression on me, not just for its storytelling, but for the way it delves into the complexitiesof cultural misunderstandings and the bonds of family.The film, directed by Zheng Xiaolong, is a poignant narrative that revolves around the life of a Chinese immigrant, Xu Datong, played by the talented Andy Lau. Set in New York, the story unfolds when Xu Datongs son, Dennis, falls ill, and in an attempt to alleviate his sons suffering, Xu resorts to an ancient Chinese healing practice known as Gua Sha. This act, however, is misconstrued by Western medical professionals as child abuse, leading to a legal battle that threatens to tear the family apart.What struck me most about Gua Sha Treatment was its unflinching portrayal of cultural clashes. The film does not shy away from showcasing the stark differences between Eastern and Western perspectives on health, family, and the law. It presents a raw and realistic depiction of the challenges faced by immigrants as they navigate the complexities of a foreign society while clinging to their cultural roots.Andy Laus performance is nothing short of remarkable. He brings a depth and authenticity to the character of Xu Datong that is both heartwrenching and inspiring. His portrayal of a father torn between his love for his son and the cultural practices that define him is a testament to his acting prowess. The emotional turmoil that Xu experiences as he grapples with the accusations of child abuse is palpable, and it is this emotionalresonance that makes Gua Sha Treatment a compelling watch.The cinematography of the film is another aspect that deserves commendation. The use of contrasting visuals between the bustling city of New York and the serene landscapes of China serves to highlight the cultural divide that the protagonist is caught in. The films visual narrative effectively complements the emotional journey of the characters, adding another layer of depth to the storytelling.One cannot discuss Gua Sha Treatment without mentioning the films exploration of the concept of family. The bond between Xu Datong and his son is at the heart of the film, and it is this bond that drives the narrative forward. The film challenges the Western notion of family and presents a different perspective, one that is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and values.The legal battle that forms the crux of the story is another compelling aspect of the film. It raises important questions about the intersection of law and culture, and the potential for misunderstanding and conflict that can arise from these intersections. The film does not offer easy answers but instead invites the viewer to reflect on these complex issues.In conclusion, Gua Sha Treatment is a powerful and thoughtprovoking film that offers a nuanced exploration of cultural differences, family bonds, and the human condition. It is a film that resonates with viewers on multiple levels, and it is a testament to the power of cinema to shed light on important social issues. The films emotional depth, coupled with itscompelling narrative and stellar performances, make it a mustwatch for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of cultural identity and the challenges faced by immigrants in a foreign land.。

Really great acting, interesting storyGua 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 storybegins 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.电影刮痧英文观后感500Gua 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 sonin 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 climbover the gap and he will never succeed, perhaps no Chinese people really could succeed.电影刮痧英文观后感500Gua Sha is a movie about the differences between American and Chinese culture.

刮痧英文观后感刮痧英文观后感范文第一篇：《刮痧》英文影评 3900字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 alwaysmisunderstood. 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 f or 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 toget her 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 IIgrants’ 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 pat ient.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 w hat’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, includi ng 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 tostay 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.第二篇：《刮痧》英文影评 3900字Reading reportThe film "Gua Sha" impressed me deeply and made me think about something about culture. I feel that "Person in the United States, it is very difficult to blend into local culture." through this film. It mainly talked about what happened to a Chinese family in American society.After years of hard work, Xu Datong, a Chinese IIgrant to the US, has finally achieved success as an outstanding video game designer. With his promising career and loving family, he feels that he has become a true American. However, clothes can be changed, colour of skin can't . Language can be learned, way of thinking can't. They are always Chinese, something is deeply rooted, some insistence come from nature. 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 film “Gua Sha-the Treatment” reflects the difference of value and culture views between western society and orient society. China society has been receiving impact of Confucianism for thousands years.Confucianism is known as paying attention to human relationship and ethic. Piety, courtesy and loyalism are most important ethic. But in Western culture which is more emphasis on individualism, independence and equality. So conflicts in culture and value are unavoidable. These conflicts have shown in the story.The moving also reflects some difference between Chinese education and Western education. In Chinese culture, physical punishment is commonly used by Chinese family. They think that will help children to growing up. But in western society it is absolutely forbidden. Any abusing children was viewed as illegal conduct. As to show respect to friends, Da Tong Xu punished his own son physically in front of friends. But this was misinterpreted as violence by his foreign friends. This is a misunderstanding in culture between East and West. To some point, this phenomenon reflect Chinese face view, Da Tong Xu punished his own son physically to show father's majesty and power of binding, in order to give face to his friends. But to American, this manner was regarded as inglorious conduct. Why? Because Chinese pay much attention to face, which can be understood hardly by Westerners. Westerners also emphasize face, but not complicated far from Chinese in interpersonal relationship.How to avoid the tragedy of the story? Conflicts can't be avoided in intercultural communications. We must strengthen the East-West cultural exchange and learning, and only with respect and inclusion to different cultures will it be possible to avoid the culture and values of conflict. Take an active part in East-West cultural communication, build the mutual trust to avoid superiority of own culture, try to understand other countries culture.Gua Sha , 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. In the moving, the grandpa asked himself painfully,"Gua Sha-the Treatment have used in Chinese for thousands years, why can't be use in American?" T o grandpa and most Chinese audiences, Gua Sha-the Treatment is so common in Chinese, it seems that they take Westerners should know it for granted, it's their fault because they don't know it. This was the easiest error to be made in intercultural communications, namely, impose own culture on another culture and use own view to evaluate others. Just because of misunderstanding of different cultures, there are so many tragedies happened on orient IIgrants in the corners of American society.。

刮痧英文观后感“Scrape” is indeed a good film for us to see. When I was seeing the film, I was touched by its wonderful plot. The film narrates that the main character named Xu Datong came to America 8 years ago and he realized his American Dream. He has a successful career and a happy family, everything is going well. But one day, he was told that his son was maltreated by himself. The truth is that his son Denis has a fever and a stomachache, but his grandfather can’t understand the English instructions on the medicine bottle. Therefore, he uses the traditional Chinese medicine therapy “Guasha” to cure his grandson, which becomes the evidence of the father’s abuse to his son. And the traditional Chinese therapy “Guasha” seems to be the tool that is used to maltreat children in the eyes of foreigners. In China, scrape is a very normal thing for people to accept, and why it becomes so complicated and difficult for foreigners to acknowledge the traditional Chinese therapy. Facing with the new explanation of traditional Chinese culture and moral standard by prosecution lawyer, Xu Datong loses his mind and is hard to calm down. The judge announces to exploit his right of guardianship over his son. And he is not allowed to meet his son and he is very angry at the time of the scene. When the defense lawyer of the opposite talks about the role named “Monkey King”, we can see that many foreigners are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.Analyzing from the aspect of Chinese and Western’s thoughts, thewestern countries are controlling the world with their strong economic and military strength, and they try to centralize unify the western model of the civilized world. Therefore, they start to smear and debase other civilization pattern. The western society is never research extensive and profound Chinese culture seriously and they don’t know more about the Chinese culture. As a result, foreigners are unable to understand “Guasha” in the movie. As we all know, thoughts of western people are more open than us, but they can’t accept the thing without any scientific proof.In the aspect of education, when the Chinese parents deal with the fightbetween two children, they will educate their own child firstly, while the western parents will respect the truth. So Xu Datong’s action to educate his son is seen as violence even abuse. The traditional Chinese notion is that parents give birth to their child and they have the right to educate them well, other people are with no right to interfere. However, parents are just legal guardian to their children in America, and they have no right to scold their kids and to say nothing of fight their children. Therefore, the Chinese notion of education is rather different from the western notion of education,Legally, America is a legal system country, law exists in the every corner and every dispute can be solved by the way of law. They emphasize on the truth and evidence. Finally, Xu Datong was announcedto leave his son, according to law, the court’s adjudication is right. But many Chinese people are unable to accept it, which we can see the difference between China and America. We have to acknowledge that American people emphasize personal rights; they use law and social institutions to limit people’s action, especially to the protection of juveniles. They think everyone is equal and has their own rights. We can learn something good from American law.In conclusion, cross-cultural communication may have some conflicts. In order to reach the agreement, we should learn to respect other different cultural customs in the process of cultural communicating. We need to have tolerant attitude, and eliminate national prejudice and adhere to the principle of equal culture.第二篇：电影刮痧英文读后感800字Impressions of the film Gua ShaSome 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. Hiswords, 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.。

Guasha电影《刮痧》感悟I was moved a lot after seeing the movie Guahsa.But putting away the moving plot,I think the film is trying to tell us someting about the misunderstandings and failures in crosscultural communication between Chinese and American people.Firstly, let's talk about Guasha. It is a popular folk treatment for certain illnesses by scraping the forehead, neck, and chest and back of the patient to cause congestion in the skin vessels to alleviate pain or inflammation in China. In this film, it re presented the traditional Chinese medical skills.But American doctor’s didn’t approve of it, because western medicine believes the experiments, they thought that Guasha Treatment wasn’t based on science.So, in the film, when the doctor found the bright red marks on the child’s back, they all considered that it was unacceptable.The next difference is the perception towards "mianzi". Xu was a Chinese immigrant in America, and he had been there for eight years.He had accepted many behaviors and views in American way, meanwhile,the traditional Chinese thoughts and values wre rooted in his mind deeply.In the film,Datong explained that he hit Denis because he wanted to give Mr.Quinlin “mianzi” while Mr.Quinlin thought that he shouldn’t hit Denis. But in American, people care more about facts rather than face.The third difference is Childhood Education.In China, it’s common for parents to hit the child if the child is naughty or do something wrong.They think that “I hit you because I love you” and they can tea ch and train their children according to their will.Chinese people take their children as part of their private property, the younger shouldn’t oppose to the older, because there’re strict ranks in the family. In America, children are independent and free. Parents need to educate them wisely and rationally rather than hit them. Certainly, parents should respect them and give their the rights to select their own futures.The fourth difference is the attitude towards friends.In the movie, Datong’s boss, and also his good friend, Mr.Quinlin,went to the court to be a witness to say something bad about Datong, Datong could not understand, he always treated Mr.Quinlin as a good friend, and he thought that Mr.Quinlin would help him, butthings turned out different ly. At last, he quit the job, because he didn’t want to work with someone who didn’t support him.But in American ,they tend to help their friends based on facts rather than affection.Lastly, I think "family love " between the two countries is quite different. American usually set up a series of laws and build up children"s welfare institution to protect our kids.But they seem to care less of the family love.It occur to me that when Datong's friend asked why Datong didn't tell the trueth that it was his father who did Guasha for little Daniel on the court,the Chinese woman said:''Because he is a Chinese!" Chinese awalys try their best to care and protect the olds and youngs and show greatest love for their family.Those are the main cultural conflicts in the movie.Therefore, we can say that the more we konw the differences in various culture, the better we could understand and respect people from different countries or backgrounds .。
