英语二19年真题作文范文【一】
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.

史蒂夫·麦奎因用近乎真实的手法再现了一个残酷时代下的悲情个体，并用一系列近似冷漠的“旁观式长镜头”来制造一种冷酷氛围，以致于让观影者在观看过程中能够分明的感受到一种压抑、难受甚至恶心。固定的机位，漫长的镜头，残酷的鞭打，毫不回避的表现伤痕，这是《为奴十二年》震撼人心的镜头之一。与之类似的镜头还出此刻所罗门被吊在树干上，双脚需要不断的点踩才能保障不被吊死的桥段。闷热的天气，无情的绳索，克制又不回避的长镜头，让发生在十九世纪美国南方的残酷一展无遗。尽管文化的差异和历史的不同，让我们很难真正的产生某种共鸣，但电影所营造的压迫式氛围还是能让我们感受得到失去自由的痛苦是多么令人难受。
《为奴十二年》没打算靠恶心别人来成全自己，而是透过直逼内心的拷问来引出对自由，对尊严，对生活的思考。没有刻意的夸张，没有顾虑的回避，基于真实的去表现，是这部电影令人肃然起敬的地方之一。
而这样一部在故事情节上并不那么跌宕起伏甚至自始至终平淡无奇的电影之所以能紧紧抓住观众的心，靠的也不仅仅仅是那些令人震撼的真实。而是由这股真实所延伸出来的关于自由与生活的思考好处。一个人在失去自由之后，所余下的'期望往往就是对生活的渴望。正如影片主人公所罗门发自肺腑地呐喊所抒发的那样，在失去自由之后，所要的并不仅仅仅是生存，而是生活。如果说，个体的命运在时代背景下只能表现出一种对生存的基本条件孜孜不倦时，就已经说明这个时代的悲哀已到了某种恐怖的地步。当人们丧失了对自由的渴望、对生活的追求时，一种冷酷就已然构成。好在还有像所罗门、帕特茜、巴斯这样的人还保留着对自由和生活的渴求，并在追逐自由与生活的过程中具备着堪称伟大的勇气。十二年，对于一个以前享受着自由，拥抱着幸福生活的人而言，其所背负的失去自由所带来的痛苦以及远离生活所带来的绝望，是不可想象的。
正是影片所表现出来的失去自由的痛苦与远离生活的绝望是那么的真实，才凸显了追逐自由的勇气是多么可贵，追求生活的坚韧是多么可敬。失去才会懂得珍惜，影片也透过这样一种方式，来告诫人们，拥有自由与生活是多么珍贵。很多人看完电影之后会先长吁一口气，进而又有一股莫名的庆幸，是因为，没有自由与生活叫人压抑得难受，而拥有自由与生活又是那么的幸福。《为奴十二年》也正是用这样的方式带给了一种警示与思考，让人们得以有机会重新认识到自由与生活的珍贵。这是这部电影在影片结束之后还能熠熠生辉的地方，也是它足以叫人肃人起敬之处。
当我们在抱怨生活的各种人艰不拆时，我们其实也是部分人羡慕嫉妒恨的对象。要明白，那些被拐骗至黑砖窑的人，那些被迫每一天上街乞讨的人，以及其他被控制了自由的人，他们对自由与生活的渴求，是否也能坚持个十二年?这很难想象，因为太过残酷。我们能够做的，其实就是好好的珍惜掌控在自己手中的那份自由，好好的珍惜或咸或淡的生活，好好的，把握每一个新的一天。
