ThedifferencesbetweenChineseandwesterncultures

fromthemovie“GuaSha”

Thisterm,Ihavetakenanelectivecourseonwesterncultureandenjoymoviesandairwaves,andwatchedmanyfilms,suchas“GuaSha”,“MyBigFatGreekWedding”,“AChristmasCarol”,”LegallyBlonde”,“TheProposal”,“Friends”,“GonewiththeWind”.Butwhatimpressesmemostisthefilm“GuaSha”,whichEnglishnameis“TheTreatment”.

GuaShaisamovieaboutthedifferencebetweenChineseandAmericanculture.ThestoryhappensinaChinesefamilywholivesinAmerican.ItmainlyrelatedtheheroXuDatong,whoisaChinese,hadstruggledfor8years,triedhardtoassimilateintoAmericanculture,andheasavideogamesdesignerinSt.Louishadagreatsuccessandgothisbosssapprovalandfriendship.Heandhiswife,JianNing,son,Dennis,ledahappylifeinAmerica.Healsobroughthisfatherfromchinatoliveheretogether.

Oneday,Denniswasstomachache,thegrandpausedtheChinesetraditionaltherapytohelphimtoscrapping,namedGuaSha,whichleavesbrightredmarksontheskin.Andthen,onceDennishadanaccidentandwenttothehospital,thedoctorsawthatthescaronhisback,hedoubtsifthechildrenwasabusedathome,sohecalledtheAmericanchildrenprotectioncenter,soitcausesalawsuitofchildabuse.Thereby,thishappyfamilyhappenedaseriesofunfortunate.
