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.
李明博今天的成功看来是多么的轻松,背后却隐含着巨大的付出。李明博的成功,归功于他的努力拼搏,努力了才会有机会,不努力,一定不会成功。收获离不开汗水,努力不会白费。在以后的工作中应更加努力,当再遇到困难时,我就会想到李明博,这样会让自己坚持的更久一些,也许问题的解决就仅差那么一点点。
作为公司的一名老员工,在今后的工作中一定克恪尽职守,做新员工的表率。珍惜自己拥有的工作,把公司当作自己的家,精心呵护,荣辱与共,不计较个人得失,尽自己最大的努力,为公司的健康成长奉献自己的力量。
打开尘封的记忆,首先浮现在眼前的就是那个“温暖”的冬天,我和她手牵手,在冬日底下……
第一次见到她,高个子,微胖,扎着马尾辫,身穿一件长袖T恤和一条休闲牛仔,面无表情,看起酷酷的样子。后来不知怎么回事,迷迷糊糊的,我们成为了好朋友。她乐观开朗,大大咧咧。而我极其内向,沉默寡言。我们性格迥异,最后却成为了知己,到现在我也弄不清原因。她很勤劳、很勇敢、很善良、很大方、很执着……当然,她也很冲动、很暴躁、很贪玩、很迷糊……
那天,刺骨的寒风无情地撕扯着干枯的树枝,街上的行人寥寥无几,地上堆积的洁白的雪还未融化,一片银装素裹……在公园里,有两个女孩,穿着厚厚的棉袄,围着围巾,戴着帽子,手牵着手,另一只手里拿着热气腾腾的包子,边吃边一起说笑。时而两人开怀大笑;时而两人伤感哭泣;时而手牵手散着步;时而背靠背唱着歌……就这样,两个女孩踩着雪,一步一个脚印,伴随着“嘎吱嘎吱的声音,绕着公园走了一圈又一圈……天气虽冷,心却温暖……
那段日子,纯真,美好,简单,浪漫。那时,我们在一起看“人狗奇缘”,哭的稀里哗啦,一塌糊涂;那时,每天我几乎都会吃到雪糕,而那却不是我掏的钱;那时,我们偶尔会吵吵小架,但几分钟后又迅速和好;那时,我们一起聊天聊到深夜,结果第二天上学迟到;那时她不好意思向一高年级男生问题,结果还是我去问了再告诉她;那时,我被欺负了,她会替我打抱不平;那时,我们一起为考试而拼搏;那时,我们手牵手,在冬日底下……
毕业后,我们各奔东西,有了新的学习和生活。我们依然保持着联系。那段日子,我永远也不会忘记,我很想再和她在一起学习,于是我们约定好,将来要考进同一所高中,这个约定使我更加努力的拼搏。我期待着,我们将在一起度过我们美好的青春年华。
又是一个冬天,有谁愿意与我手牵手,在冬日底下…
批注:这是一篇感情真挚的叙事散文,作者着重描写了与同学的学习往事,语言朴实流畅,故事饱满圆润,人物形象突出。文章中运用了排比的修辞手法,增强了语气。全文结构安排合理,首尾呼应,有极强的回读意味。
今晚再看一遍《美女也野兽》,忽然从其中看出与基耶斯洛夫斯基的《白》有几分类似的主题——平等:如果粗鲁的王子不曾因没有爱心而被惩罚,变成野兽,那么,他可能爱上贝尔么?他们可能在一起吗?
粗鲁的王子,即使他从来不懂得善待他人,也不懂爱为何物,他仍旧有骄傲的理由——他是一个华贵显赫的王子。
可是温柔的野兽,即使他再绅士,心中充满爱,他仍然有自卑的理由——他是一只外表丑陋的野兽。
而与此相对,贝尔的身份是不变的——一个美丽善良怀抱梦想的贫家女。
然而我们可以大胆假设一点,如果王子不曾被施魔法,那么,即使贝尔再美丽再善良,王子未必会爱上她——因为我们的前提是粗鲁的王子根本不懂得什么是爱。
但是在他身份垂直下降,直到变为一只面目狰狞的怪兽的时候,他却能够以一种低姿态,甚至自卑的姿势,来欣赏一个过去可能连见他的面也不配的贫家女——而此时她正是他的救世主。
基氏电影《白》也是如此。在电影的开头,由于生理障碍,世俗的天枰和双方心理的天枰都明显偏向于女主角。
但是随着情节发展,男主角像胡汉三一样又回来了,而且还带回了显赫的资产,过去的生理障碍也一并消失,重振雄风。
此时的天枰转换了方向,慢慢向男主角倾斜。就连曾经绝情离开他的女主角,也重新爱上了他。
虽然在电影《白》中,这是一次人为的精巧的报复,但是和《美女与野兽》一样,它告诉了我们一个古老的真理:爱情并不是基于无有凭空产生的,爱情中,掺杂着太多复杂的现实因素,有关身份的悬殊,有关财富的多少,有关身体健康与否,有关相貌美丑。
换句话说,门当户对是古老智慧的结晶,它仍然能够用于指导现代生活,并且在人类本性发生扭转之前绝不过时。门当户对的婚姻和爱情实在是一种理想状态,是一种双赢的结合。
所以,与其说,是美丽的贝尔使得王子懂得了爱,变得温柔仁慈和绅士了,不如说是天枰的倾斜使得粗鲁的王子变得温柔谦卑——当然,美女的力量也不容否定,只是,这影响实在不足以使一个人转变本性。
同样讨论此主题的电影,还有金基德的《坏小子》,那是另一个貌似诡异离奇但又完全符合实际逻辑的世界。
对此主题浅显的理解到此为止,以后若有再加补充。
关于题目给出的问题,我的回答是:我要一个温柔的野兽,因为我是小弱弱,(*^__^* 嘻嘻……
