Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about how similar people really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and languages in those movies are different from mine, people all around the world are alike in their goals and emotions.
One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their children with their homework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed school children playing hide and seek, which is a game I used to play with my friends during recess. Seeing these films demonstrated to me that education is a common goal in every country. Parents want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed me that children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the games are similar to ours and sometimes they’re different. Still, they all have the common purpose of fun and learning to work together.
Earning a living is another common goal. I’ve often seen that in movies about other countries. In some countries, people choose their careers from what they like and are good at. In other countries, careers are chosen for them following the traditions of their families. But in every country it seems that people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard is respected.
Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any movies, no matter what country it comes from. People everywhere want to be entertained, and want to spend time with their families and friends. Different cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all cultures enjoy some form of sports, music and dancing.
The movies I’ve seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural differences between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals.
9月28号,终于等来了盼望已久的这个学期的第一次电影课了。听说要看《驯龙高手》这部电影的时候,我更兴奋了,嗯,至少是部动画片。
当电影一开始,它一说到“维京人”的时候,我就觉得特别耳熟。原来,“维京人”就是北欧海盗,敢大胆地抢劫当时海上第一大国西班牙的商船。看完这个电影,更觉得他们大胆了,他们居然敢跟龙接触。这个电影讲的就是海盗首领的儿子小嗝嗝和一条号称龙里面最凶猛的夜煞接触,然后一起找到龙总是抢劫的原因,最后和海盗、一些龙一起打败不给它食物就要吃龙的巨龙。
我觉得这部电影的亮点有两处。一是各式各样的.龙,二是主人公和夜煞合作击败巨龙那一段。我一直都挺喜欢龙的,觉得它们挺好玩儿的,看这个电影刚好满足了我的愿望。这里面的龙不是那种普通的全都长成一个样子的,有两个脑袋的、超级无敌大脑袋的、能自己着火、没有肉、全身都是骨头、尾巴上带着锤子的……
这部电影就是借龙来说明,当你看到一个有丑恶一面的可怕的东西时,要想到这并不一定是它的本性,你要找到它变得凶猛的原因,你也许就会发现它纯真、善良的本性。好多电影都是想说明这样的道理,你不要轻易地给某种事物定性,而是要找到解决问题的办法。
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.
今天我们去音乐厅观看了电影《驭龙高手》。
它是讲很久以前龙的部落和维京海盗部落经常互相攻打。一天,一个维京小男孩在林子里发现了一只龙,他本来想刺死它,但是他发现龙受了伤不能飞了,这可怎么办呢?于是他用纸制作了一个东西安装在了他的尾巴上,结果龙飞了起来。后来,小男孩驯服了那条龙,并把那条龙起名叫无牙。他们齐心协力打败了残暴的龙大王,维京人也和龙成了好朋友,那个男孩成了大英雄,他就是小嗝嗝。
我觉得小嗝嗝很勇敢、很善良。他用他的.善良之心把凶猛的夜煞驯服成温顺的龙,并帮助了维京人。要是没有残暴的龙大王,人是可以和龙做朋友的,是可以和平共处的。
不管是人还是动物只要有善良之心,就不会有战争存在。
