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.
一寸光阴一寸金,寸金难买寸光阴,这句话一点也不假,海伦希望拥有三天的光明去看尽世界的一切景观。然而这只不过是一个梦。三天光明,对于常人来说只是人生中的短暂的一刻。对于双目失明的海伦来说,却是可想而不可及的。第一天,她想看人,人们的善良、温厚与友谊使她的生活值得一过。她想用视觉,抓住一个人面部的外表特征,来透视一个朋友或者熟人的内心;第二天,她想在黎明前起身,去看黑夜变为白昼的动人奇迹,她将怀着敬畏之心,仰望壮丽的曙光全景;最后一天。她将没有时间花费在遗憾和热望中,她想从长岛的`佛拉斯特小而安静的郊区出发,环绕着绿色草地观赏!
我相信,只要我们要学习海伦的那种不屈不饶的精神,为造福后代做更多更多的事。即使你的道路有绊脚石阻挡着,当我相信我们一定能跨过去,寻找属于自己的道路。
海伦凯勒,一个熟悉而又陌生的名字,她度过了88个春秋,却在黑暗中度过了87个春秋。她听不见悦耳动听的乐章,看不到身边美好的事物,在她的生命中,永远没有光明,也不知道太阳是多么灿烂,多么耀眼。她也并不知道世界的色彩,世界的模样。然而,在盲聋哑世界里生活的她,却毕业于哈佛大学德克利夫学院,并掌握了五门语言,她那不屈不挠的精神,给许多人树立与命运拼搏的榜样。
马克吐温说:“十九世纪有两个奇人,一个是拿破仑,一个是海伦凯勒。”海伦创造了前所未有的奇迹,她用不怨人世的态度,劝戒世人珍惜出在的一切。她的成功被称为“教育史上最伟大的成就。”在海伦的身边,有一位改变她一生的人,那便是她亲爱的老师——安妮莎利文。莎利文老师用她的爱心和智慧引导海伦走出黑暗和孤寂。
在书中的一句话是这样写的:“把别人的眼睛所见的音乐当作是我的'乐章,别人嘴角的微笑当作是我的快乐。”由此可见,海伦是多么乐观,她用她的笑容和爱心去融化她身边的每一个人的心灵,令无数人认同她。海伦,多么了不起!虽然她很伟大,但是她始终怀着一颗感恩的心来面对她的老师。
现在我们不像海伦一样是残疾人,我们很健康,那么我们就应该更加珍惜身边的人和事,要学会感恩别人。我们首先要感恩的人就是我们的父母,父母赋予我们以生命,并且教我们咿呀学语,蹒跚学步。现在我们已尼长大了,就应该用我们自己的行动来报答父母,他们也特别辛苦,为了供我们上学,每天含辛茹苦地上班赚钱,看到父母每天拖着疲惫的身体回家,我总是鼻子一酸,流出眼泪。父母总是在我们面前说不累,说只要我们可以努力学习,以后找到好的工作就行了。他们每天这样辛苦竟然就是为了我们可有一个美好的未来,难道我们不应该感恩父母吗?只要我们在他们工作后,为他们端上一杯热茶,为他们洗脚,他们就会很感动,所以感恩也很简单。
当然,我们还有许多要感恩的人,比如老师、同学、亲人以及那些曾经帮助过我们的陌生人。他们都曾在我遇到困难或挫折时帮助过,我们也应该感恩他们。我相信,感恩永远会存于我的心中,不会磨灭。
《山居笔记》一遍看下来,感觉的确很不错,我觉得可以用“美、奇、柔”三个字来表达我的感想
首先,“美”是余秋雨散文的最主要的特色。我公公经常说的一句话就是“余秋雨写的句子真的很美很美”,而当时我也只是听听而已,根本就不知道其中的“很美很美”的真实含义,而今,看了《山居笔记》之后,终于领悟到了余秋雨“美”的所在了。“成熟是一种明亮而不刺眼的光辉;一种圆润而不腻耳的音响;一种不再需要对别人察言观色的从容……”,多么美的一串“成熟”的诠释,诸如此类的语句还很多很多。同样是几个汉字,在他的笔下竟拼凑出如此美妙的句子,这也是他能受到如此多的'人去欣赏他、品味他的原因了。
其次,余秋雨的语句中还隐约着“奇”的特点。一些看似平常的语句却是很“奇崛”的,像“领略这样逝去以久的人生风采”等等句子。还有,他的“奇”是建立在很平凡的事物上的。在写现在山西的那些小商贩说“在巨商的脚下做着最小的买卖”,形容康熙狩猎时马跑得快时说“耳边生风,群山急退”。小商贩、马快跑是我们生活中很平凡普通的事情,然而余秋雨的这些“描绘”语句却是那么的不平凡不普通,这就是他“奇”的所在了,一般的人是不能望其项背的。
“柔”是说余秋雨的文章显现出一丝绵、缠之意。有很多句子有这样的特点,细细品味会感到有“柔”意。
现今,余秋雨是很受欢迎的一位作家,但批评他的人也不少。我想,作为普通读者的我们尚且还没有“知识的资格”去评论他,我们也没有“知识的水平”去判断究竟是余秋雨的错“实”还是金文明他们的纠“实”,我们现在只有以一个普通读者的身份去欣赏《文化苦旅》《山居笔记》……
《山居笔记》中有这么一句:“大艺术家即便错,也会错出魅力来。好像王尔德说过‘在艺术中只有美丑而无所谓对错’”。也许余秋雨就是本着这句话而写文章的吧,我觉得这也是评论余秋雨的最好句子了!
