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 English 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 cant 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 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 sometime. 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 justice, 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 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. 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 Of course things have been solved satisfactorily Finally, the prosecution of the court has been revoked.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 and understanding of other culture. 观后感一 GuaShaisamovieaboutthedifferencesbetweenAmericanandChineseculture.XudatongisavideogamesdesignerinSt.Louis.WhenhisfathervisitsfromChina,heperformsGuaSha(aChinesetraditionaltreatment)onhisgrandson,whichleavesbrightredmarksontheskinandcausesalawsuitofchildabuse.Inthecourt,Datongloseshismindsothatfinallyhelosescustodyofhisson.

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 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. Actually, 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 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. 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. 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 ho
