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.
也许你根本就不会知道,那天和你分开之后,我到底去了哪里,悼念了哪些风景。追溯了哪些回忆。并不是所有的人,都能够沉浸在回忆中无法自拔的,也许那些让你无法自己的往事,别人可以云淡风轻地想起,然后云淡风轻地抛弃。你要知道,人和人之间是不一样的。
在你来到这里之前,就做好充足的心理准备,以至于最后就算失败,就算赌局输掉,就算依旧没有人在乎你,你也可以清晰地明白,生活不过是一场戏。当我们真的开始实际考察的时候,才突然明白,原来之前我们所学到的'那些,都像是闹着玩的。到底该如何,让自己的专业知识学以致用,我想太多的机会都可以给你说一句好听的话,让你明白,这么多的日日夜夜,也不是白白付出的。你或许在难过的时候,只是需要听到别人针对你的一句安慰,一句真心实意的安慰。也许太多的人都无法理解,这样的环境,对于我们彼此而言,到底有着怎样的机遇,怎样才能够创造属于自己的神话故事。哪怕仅仅是在一瞬间,我们都能够理解,在脑海中那些固定的思维模式,突然有一天就发生了天翻地覆的变化。但是我们都不会害怕。
自古以来,教育都是人类最为关心的话题之一,也是与人类最为关心的话题之一,也是与人类最为密切相关的事情。但是,什么才能算得上诗好教育呢?可能谁也说不清楚,但至少我们可以确定:盲目不切实际的教育绝对不是好教育。好教育首先就是要理智。印度电影《三傻大闹宝莱坞》就是对那些填鸭式教育的教育制度做出的批判。这样的教育印度有,但是世界其他的地方也有。我们这时候就会思考:为什么会有这样的教育。大概的答案我们都能想得到:人数多又要公平,这样的教育虽然再大部分情况下出不了天才,但至少不会差了庸才,平均水平也相对均等。
可是我们就只能这样了嘛?并非如此。北大校长蔡元培当年接手的北大,那里的老师,学生都是妓院、赌场的常客,而蔡元培校长呢?开学第一天,他并没有端着架子,而是走上台,等下面的人都安静后,向在场的人鞠了一躬。台下的人见状一片喧哗,谁也没想到早在京师大学堂时候官僚之风便盛行的校园里面居然来了一个如此有平等观念的校长。这却是给在场的所有人都上了一课,设想一下,倘若校长当年一上台就是一顿臭骂,那会怎么样?中国就会失去了一间好学校,世界典籍的整理或许就会不服完整,因此,待我们的家长,做老师的.时候,不应该盲目,不要冲昏头脑,一个劲的让孩子做某事,或者一个劲的批评孩子不能做什么事情,而是要根据实际情况,三思而后行,因为有可能我们的一句话就让一个孩子失去了自信心,失去了原本可能拥有的未来,而这就是因为我们不愿意去给予他们信任。
路漫漫,路是曲折的,但前途诗光明的,或许再不久的将来,我们可以摸索出真正‘好’的教育体系,让我们的孩子得到更好的教育,让这个世界上的孩子拥有更多的机会去做自己想要做的事情,而不是逼迫。
