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.
人们常说在美丽的世界中,拥有太多美与丑的理解不同的理解拥有不同的程度而我偏偏对美得理解拥有独特的解释。因为在大千世界中的我们也拥有太多奇妙的东西不是我们可以左右的因为我们的能力有限,但是在世界上拥有一种潜力股,正是因为这种潜力股,世界才充满美与精彩就是这种特殊的精彩同时也让人觉得世界的遥远。
在昨天与今天中徘徊算了我还记得一个女孩,在理解美得深层次的内涵时她这样说的,美丽与丑陋是一对反义词,但是几乎所有人都在,追着美得脚步但是没有人能够追的上。因为人的内心世界的力量过于强大需要的太多力量来追着美的步伐但是在追美得步伐中却获得了快乐,这是为什么那、我将它归纳为三大要素第一美是一种气质是一种无形的但却是看不见,摸不着的却是一种朦胧的美但却是神秘的。第二是由于内心世界的一种力量却是可以主宰人的毅力的我是这样理解。第三我们是在美的上面做了大规模的修饰其实真正的美是一种由内而外的气质,对于这种气质是不可驾驭的,它是浑然天成的有人说过,智慧与美貌的结合就是一种美。而我认为的`美却是一种一种无形的美它不同与气质智慧与美貌,它是智慧,气质美貌的结合,那就是世界正是这样才会有了世界,而世界只因有了这些才显得更加精彩。
罗丹说过:“美是到处到有的,对于我们的眼睛,不是缺少美,而是缺少发现。”在我们这个多元化的世界里,幽静美丽的街心公园,各种前卫而时尚的服饰,优雅的宫廷音乐……随处可见,可闻。同时,随着时代的发展,物质生活水平的提高,人们对于美的追求和认识也有了新的发展。那么,在现实社会里,究竟应该怎样看待美呢?下面,我想谈谈我的看法。
首先,美要自然。古人总喜欢用“闭月羞花,沉鱼落雁”来比喻女子的美,的确,天生丽质的女孩总是引人注目的。人的外表美与生俱来,纵使在昂贵、再优质的化妆品也难以达到,而二十左右时的青春正是人一生当中最美的阶段,它不需要过多的修饰,自自然然的一颦一笑,都时刻透着一种青春的气息,这气息来自人外在的体现,更来自人们的内心,就如同人们说的:“鸟美在羽毛,人美在心灵。”一样,更多的美是在于自身与观者的一种感觉,一种心情。
人们心灵美其实是最重要的,应该说在某种情况下,它是超脱于外表美的一种真正的美。人可以没有漂亮的外表,却不可以没有美丽的心灵,因为外表终究是表面的东西,而人的内心却是人的根本、本质,是最深层的。我想,有很多人读过《白雪公主》的故事,故事中的新王后和白雪公主都是美丽的,而王后因为嫉妒、虚荣、最终落了个终身丑陋的下场,而善良的公主却因为美丽的心灵而一次又一次地逃脱死亡的魔爪。我想,这并非只是来自于安徒生主观思想的臆造,而是它真切地反映了人们弃恶扬善的观点和愿望。
如果白雪公主是因为其容貌美和心灵美打动了读者的话,那《巴黎圣母院》中的卡西摩多,该是纯粹的心灵美了吧!他曾被人们认为是城市中最丑的人,没有人的关爱,有的只是人们的耻笑。但他面对女主人公遭到危难时,却毅然伸出了自己丑陋却温暖的双手……卡西摩斗的丑陋的,但同时也是美丽的、可爱的,只是因为他有着一颗充满着温暖与爱的心灵,同时拥有美貌与美好的心灵纵然可贵,但相貌平常却拥有火热心灵的人同样会得到人们的喜爱与赞扬。
总之,在我看了,美丽总是一种虚妄的东西,它像空气一样,存在于我们的生活,离我们很近却又很远,我们捉摸不到它的形态,但它却与我们的生活息息相关,美就是这样的东西,它来自于自然,体现在我们的心灵当中。
初恋50 First Dates
What would it feel if I can wake up everyday forgetting what happened for the last whole year?
Lucy in the movie “50 First Dates” told me this feeling. Every morning when she woke up, she only rememberred the Sunday of last year which was her father’s birthday, also the date she had the car accident which made her only keep memory before Sunday, so she always felt happy living the same habit as what she did on Sunday a year ago with the kind set-up by her father and brother. After meeting Hey, she could only remember who he was on the same day. But after one night, he became a stranger to her. She couldn’t even recognize he was the one she used to date and love everyday. Hey tried his best to give her a new different meeting every day so as to win her smile and regain their “First Date”. Hey made her tapes every morning to help her remember what happened the day before and the last whole year. Lucy thus felt grateful with all she had when she woke up everyday. On the same day, she always had the same deep gratitude to face Hey with her sweet smile. What a beautiful feeling it is to always feel thanksgiving and to always
appreciate each other’s effort. A touching story between a memory lost woman and a devoted man taught all of us, normal people, the essence of love. When two people can thank each other for their devotion everyday like what they did for each other on first date, love can forever be refreshed and energetic. On Lucy’s side, people with memory will ask for more than yesterday and become critical of their partners day by day, while people without memory will feel grateful for their life and the people around them everyday.
In the movie, when one day Lucy decided to break up with Hey to let him rebuild his life by burning all their diaries and tapes, I cried for Hey’s broken heart. For her, it was just one day feeling. For him, it was long-term affection and connection. It was easier for her than him to give up their love. On Hey’s side, people with memory will always remember the past happiness and
treasure it for the rest of their life, while people without memory will easily give up at the end of the same day.
What a ruthless feeling it is to end a relationship just after one minute thought. People with fragile mind would easily ruin a long-term relationship no matter what reason they have. The torture between Lucy and Hey tells us the fatal factor to do harm to intimacy between a couple is their fragile mind of
balancing emotion and reason. Thus most of couple lose their trust for each other after experiencing this weakly testing broke-up.

魔术师THE ILLUSIONIST FACTS

Before long, Sophie turns up dead, and the logical suspect is Eisenheim himself.
一线声机"Cellular" has the setup for a solid straight-ahead thriller: A kidnap victim who does not know where she is being held phones a total stranger who must then stay connected on his cell phone to find her before she is killed. Joel Schumacher scored earlier with a similarly phone-themed Larry Cohen story, "Phone Booth." As executed by tone-deaf director David R. Ellis, however, "Cellular" becomes an unintentionally hilarious cousin to Brian de Palma's "Raising Cain" and "Snake Eyes."
Ellis seems to have unwittingly spliced together two different films with
mismatched tones: Kim Basinger as the kidnapee and Jason Statham as the kidnapper occupy the deadly-serious, straight-to-video thriller half, while Chris Evans as the rescuer and William H. Macy as a police officer seem to be in a "Saturday Night Live"-alum action comedy. Nowhere else is the disjointedness in tone more apparent than when Basinger and Evans's performances are placed side-by-side during their conversations: The scenes keep cutting between an overwrought Basinger wringing out every drop of melodrama, while a blissfully inept Evans seems to be channeling a cross between Chris Kattan/Jimmy Fallon and Ben Affleck/Keanu Reeves.
Meanwhile, Ellis pulls out tricks intended to generate thrills and surprises. He throws in out-of-nowhere "shocks," a la "Final Destination"; he throws in
flashbacks; he throws in a gun-blazing Macy in Jerry Bruckheimer action-hero slo-mo; and yet, Ellis has no handle on staging any of them competently. Case in point: "Cellular" is the proud owner of one of the most ineptly scored chase sequences ever, as if Ellis simply heard a snippet of the song's lyrics ("...where you gonna run to?" literally and paid no attention to the inappropriateness of the accompanying music (which just bop, bop, bops along. (The song is even reprised during the closing credits, which itself is misbegotten in conception.
And yet, for all of its failures as art, "Cellular" is always entertaining for those very same faults
