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.
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……
位置在下面称呼语隔一行,是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不同的是,正文中一般不用hello!(你好!)
正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些,通常以五个字母为宜,每段第二行从左面顶格写起,这就是缩进式。
但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式,用齐头式,即每一行都从左面顶格写起。商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。
信件如果有附件,可在信纸的左下角,注上encl:或enc:,例如:encl:2 photos(内附两张照片)。如果福建附件不止一项,应写成encl:或encs。
我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有re:或subject:(事由)字样。一般在信纸的中间,也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线,以引起读信人的注意,使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用,也可以省略。
The Role of Mobile Phone in People's Communication
The popularity of smartphones has exerted great influence on the way people communicate, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contend that face-to-face communication is being replaced by texts and images on the mobile phone.
There are more than one angle to consider this phenomenon. On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even people from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with people's real-life communication. Statistics show that over 70 percent of face-to-face communication consists of facial expressions and body language, which is why people should stay away from mobile phones when they have the chance to actually talk and communicate with others.
In a word, mobile phones act as an appropriate platform where people can always stay in tough however long the distance is, but a wise man should know when to put down his phone.
