人在美國,身不由己
「人在美國,身不由己」。是我在看完被圈內人士看好的影片《刮痧》之後的最大感受。伴隨著畫面的推進,故事的演繹,一個美國社會的華人家庭遭遇躍然眼前。
以細節為支點
從藝術角度來看,不難看出。導演充分發揮的是電影的敘事潛能,而不是情節的著意安排。中美之間的文化差異,在一個個細節中被稜角分明地凸現出來。這些細節通過人物的面部表情、目光、對話、動作等來完成。支撐起整個影片的框架。
在影片開始,許大同設計的游戲軟體獲獎,他激動地告訴大家:「我愛美國,我的美國夢終於實現!」頒獎大廳外擠滿了指責電腦游戲過於暴力的示威群眾;昆蘭的兒子和許大同的兒子丹尼斯發生矛盾並且不肯道歉,許大同當眾打了丹尼斯一巴掌;在接父親從警察局回來時進入公寓,警衛懷疑地看了他們一眼。這一切,都在後來的聽證會上成為了對大同不利的證據。許大同在美國拼搏了八年,美國給了他成功和榮耀。然而,在中國很傳統的中醫刮痧療法卻迅速把他推向了美國的對立面。使他想和家人一起回國,去過「安寧平靜的生活。」這種改變看起來是中西方文化的沖突,實際上是反映出了一個更值得重視的問題:文化反省。中國人把孩子當成私有財產,可以通過打丹尼斯來表示對老闆昆蘭的尊重,而昆蘭卻不能理解中國人的這種「亂七八糟的邏輯。」而美國人,他們把孩子當成了社會財富,在誤以為刮痧是虐待行為之後,果斷地進行了孩子與父母的隔離,並不斷取證。其目的還是為了保證孩子免受傷害。
以親情為切入
美國人在看完這部影片後,討論最多的當數具有中國情調的父子之情。在大同和父親、大同和丹尼斯這兩對父子之間都刻畫出較為深刻的感情關系。
在法庭上,為了不妨礙父親辦綠卡,大同謊承刮痧乃自己所為;為了不讓父親擔心,他和妻子一起隱瞞真相;為了給兒子聖誕禮物,不惜冒著生命危險爬上九樓。片中機場那場戲頗為精彩,淚眼送別之際,想出去福利局「偷」來兒子一同回國的冒險行為。當祖孫三代激情相擁之時,其父卻冷靜地說服了兒子留下。在送丹尼斯回福利局的路上,大同和緊追而來警車玩起了游戲,只為了讓兒子多享受片刻的父愛。
而在租住的小屋,分居的簡寧和大同醉酒,罵自己是MOTHERFUCKER 這場戲,更是赤裸裸地揭露了他們內心的痛苦,而這種痛苦,僅僅是因為刮痧這一在中國極為普遍的中醫療法,在美國,卻導致了一個家庭的分崩離析。
我們不難感受到融於片中的濃濃親情,然而,大同的錯誤卻是虐待兒子。這個罪名簡直匪夷所思,它反映出美國不以事實說話的法律空擋。而那控方僱傭的美國律師在法庭上這樣描述《西遊記》中的孫悟空:「別人種了九千年的桃子,他不跟主人打一聲招呼摘來便吃,當人家制止時,他不但不聽勸阻,而且還大打出手毀了人家的桃園。別人辛辛苦苦煉好的丹丸,他拿來就吃,還把主人打得頭破血流,臨走還毀了人家的製作車間——象這樣一個野蠻頑劣的猴子,竟然被許大同在電子游戲中描繪成英雄 ......」,用以證明移民美國的許大同有暴力傾向。他的「敬業」使人們質疑:他的目的究竟是保護孩子,還是拆散別人家庭。
劇中貫穿始終的矛盾,時刻捶敲著觀眾的思緒。人在美國,真的身不由己?為什麼一個和諧的家庭無端被這一事件攪出如許紛爭?難道這就是所謂的美國精神的本質?還只是美國社會游戲的一個小小插曲?
以文化為指歸
鄭小龍導演說:「不同國家、不同民族的文化,沒有好壞之分。甚至沒有高低之別。但是,一個民族的文化意識、文化寬容,是非常重要的事情。一位美國的觀眾對我說:『沒有文化、沒有文化傳承的民族,是一個恥辱。』」
本片從各個角度探討了人的品格,人的尊嚴,符合優秀影片關注人的准則。卓別林一貫認為「悲劇和喜劇實際上是不可分的。」而《刮痧》盡管採取了好萊塢式的大團圓的喜劇結局,但是,劇中洋溢的一直是帶淚的笑。美國文化中的關注人的元素,此時顯得異常蒼白,這從公寓保安:「早知道他會爬,我就讓他進去了」一語中得到詮釋,而簡寧對於昆蘭不解於大同為何替父承認刮痧時的回答:「因為他是中國人」也突顯了中國與美國之間的文化差異。
影片的動人之處,不僅在於它提示了國家之間的文化差異,提醒人們進行文化反省,還在於它細膩感人的故事。在中國電影普遍迷離於商業價值和文化內涵的時候,它的出現,預示了兩者結合點的所在.
❷ 求 電影 刮痧 的英文觀後感 20分
初看名字,以為是倫理片,刮痧,中國一門醫學上傳統的手藝,在兩千多年的歷史長河裡,一直穩穩健健地在中國大地上繁衍生息,然而有一天,它出現在自由民主的美國社會中,便被人誤解,以至於上演了一場家庭的悲歡離合,可喜的是梁家輝將父親角色演繹的動人心弦,蔣雯麗也以一貫的熒幕形象幾乎是本色出演,很准確的把握了作為妻子的恨、愛、心碎與心疼,只是在母親的角色上稍稍淡化了些。當不得不以分居為條件來換回孩子時,妻子毅然「惡狠狠」地轉身「I agree!」當事情逼迫地不得不真的要丈夫離開時,妻子心疼地抱著丈夫不忍心丈夫一個人生活。從丈夫在法庭上被敵人激怒地掉進了別人的圈套開始,妻子的氣憤到後來的瘋狂最後的心灰,像是個妻子對丈夫地無奈~因為她知道,丈夫的任何錶現都會讓孩子離自己越來越遠。
梁家輝在裡面是個可以把自己割裂開來只要孩子回到自己的身邊的父親,而淡化了丈夫的角色,跟隨著事情地進展,電影一步一步推向高潮,在法庭上被』敵人』逼得控制不住情緒,為別人指責他是個不負責任的父親而氣憤,為別人褻瀆中國的傳統文化而憤慨!事情向不利的方向進展,他怪自己的朋友,恨美國的不兼容!在美國生活的8年裡,遇到了多少困難與艱辛,多少不易與挫折,他忍受了,堅持了,但是這一次,他再也無法妥協,他站起來抵抗!站起來作戰!因為他們奪去的是自己的孩子,自己的骨肉!所以他的不理智行為我們都是可以理解的。
影片有個幾個亮點,其中之一便是父親載著孩子在馬路上和警察追逐,與其說追逐,不如說是為了孩子,孩子什麼都不懂,他覺得好玩,所以父親可以什麼都不在乎,忘卻一切地滿足孩子的快樂!只是車終究要停下來,他們的家庭要面對的噩夢依然存在。夫妻分居了,孩子終於回到了家裡,只是父親離開了,父與子不能相見,妻子去看望頹廢的丈夫,一起喝烈酒,讓酒精刺痛喉嚨麻醉身體。他們想吶喊想反抗可是不能,只有讓所有的委屈所有的憤恨往肚子里咽。
本來父親想帶著孩子和爺爺一起逃回中國,但是爺爺堅決地說:不能這樣做!生活就是這樣,什麼事情都可能發生,你躲是躲不開的。
什麼事情都可能發生,一語道破這個事件的玄機!不能躲不能逃,我們對家人的愛,成為我們接受一切不幸的勇氣。
因為愛,父親打扮成聖誕老人,從下水道上爬回自己的家裡。幸好,故事有個圓滿的結局。沒有讓人失望與遺憾。
這部電影以中西方的文化差異為背景,除了表現父子夫妻之間的不容割裂的愛之外,還讓人看到了中國人的骨氣,也是一個成功之處。
At first sight name, thought it was ethical film, Gua Sha, Chinese traditional medicine a craft, in the long river of 2000 years of history, has remained robust health in China's vast territory to survive, but one day, it appears in a free and democratic American society, they have been misunderstood, so staged a family joys and sorrows, good news is that Tony Leung will perform the role of the father moving chord, Jiang Wenli also consistent screen image of the character is almost starred in, it is an accurate grasp of as his wife's hate, love, heart-broken and distressed, but the roles of mother to play down a little a bit. When forced to separation as the conditions in exchange for a child, his wife resolutely, "fiercely" to turn "I agree!" When things forced to have to really want to leave her husband, the wife painfully holding her husband could not bear her husband a life . From her husband in court infuriated the enemy fall into the trap of others start to his wife's anger was crazy the last disheartened, like a wife to her husband in frustration ~ because she knew her husband would let children of any performance from their own farther and farther.
Tony Leung Ka Fai is on the inside can be cut off from their return to their side as long as the child's father, but played down the role of her husband, with things progressing with the film step by step to a climax, the court was 'the enemy' forced control do not live mood, for others accused him of being an irresponsible father angry, for others the desecration of China's traditional culture indignation! Matter to the negative direction, he blame his friends, hate the United States, is not compatible! Living in the U.S. eight years, has encountered many difficulties and hardships, the number of difficult and setbacks he enred, and upheld, but this time he could no longer compromise, he could stand up and resist! Stand up and fight! Because they take away is that their children, their own flesh and blood! So he's irrational behavior we are all understandable.
Film has a few bright spots, one of which is the father carrying a child on the road and the police chase, chasing so much as it is for our children, the children do not understand anything, he felt fun, so the father can not care about anything, forgetting all the way to meet the children's joy! Only a car will eventually be stopped, their families have to face the nightmare still exist. Separated spouses, the child has finally returned home, but his father left, Father and Son can not meet, the wife went to see the decadent husband, along with drinking alcohol, so alcohol tingling throat anesthesia body. They want to cry want to resist, but can not, and only if all of the grievances of all the anger inside the pharynx to the stomach.
Originally his father and grandfather would like to take the kids went back to China together, but the grandfather firmly said: can not be done! Life is this way, anything can happen, you hide are not immune to the.
Anything can happen, laying bare the untold stories behind this event! Can not escape can not hide, we are the love of his family, acceptance of all the misfortunes of our courage.
Because of love, the father dressed as Santa Claus, from the sewer climbed back to his own home. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending. He did not disappoint and regret.
The film is in the context of Western cultural differences, in addition to the performance of his son can not be split between husband and wife's love, he also seen the Chinese people's moral integrity, but also a success.
❸ 求電影《刮痧》影評 英文版的
Gua Sha (The Treatment) shows how a person's cultural beliefs are so deeply set within oneself that it is usually impossible to examine why you do most anything, from how you dress and talk to whom you love and respect and how you show it. The invisible nature of one's cultural beliefs also makes it difficult to impossible to explain yourself to others when questioned. Da Tong experiences an excruciatingly painful and difficult struggle while trying to protect his son, an ordeal that forces him to examine the validity of some of the most vital things he thought he knew about his identity, his Chinese culture, and the new American world he'd chosen as his home.
The movie showed me how normal it is for people to look for ways that their culture is superior to others' and how the misunderstandings arising from different cultural perspectives can seem very large, but can be nullified with simple, 2-sided explanations when people are willing to listen.
It appears this film is not readily available in the USA, but it's the best I've seen at highlighting the differences between American and Chinese culture. Parts of the movie's dialog are only in Chinese and I've yet to find a DVD with English subtitles, although it's easy to get the gist of what's going on ring those short passages. The credits are a combination of Chinese and English, holding true to the integration of both worlds. I've noticed some important roles are not credited here on IMDb, such as Judge Horowitz, who was played by Alexander Barton.
❹ 求一篇400字左右的電影《刮痧》英文觀後感,體現中西方文化差異,語法不用太准確,高中生水平即可
《刮痧》這部電影重點不是講怎麼刮痧,刮痧有什麼好處,而是講因為刮痧致使一個家庭經歷具體的苦難。電腦游戲設計師許大同與妻子簡寧在美國奮鬥了8年,事業有成。一次意外卻令美好的家庭變得愁雲慘霧:5歲的兒子生病了,老父親用傳統的中國民間刮痧幫孫子治病。大同夫妻繼而被控告虐待兒童,一個又一個物證人證令夫妻倆百口莫辯,西醫根本無法了解這種傳統中國療法。因為這件事,父子與夫妻都不得已的分開了。聖誕節那天,門衛不讓大同去家裡見簡寧和他兒子,無奈之下,他只好冒著生命危險爬水管爬上九樓,並在那晚法院撤銷了對撫養孩子的審判,最終皆大歡喜。
觀看這部電影時,給我最大的感觸就是中西文化的差異。老父親是愛他的孫子的,他孫子生病了老父親給他刮痧,在背上留下的痕跡卻被人認為是這孩子受了虐待,這是美國人不懂得刮痧是什麼造成的;對待孩子的問題上,中國人將孩子當做是自己的私人財產,可以隨時對孩子進行管教,但在美國,孩子卻被當成是社會財產,一旦孩子受了傷害,孩子的父母就會被剝奪撫養權,由兒童福利中心進行養育,在大同的頒獎會上,他的兒子打了他老闆的兒子,大同讓他兒子道歉,但他卻不道歉,大同打了一下他兒子的頭,大同認為這是對他老闆的尊重,當然,中國人大多都是這樣,在不分三七二十一先打了自己的孩子再說,這表示自己沒有教養好,打孩子是對別人的尊重,但美國人卻不這么認為,他的老闆看到大同打他兒子表示很驚訝,並且認為教養孩子跟尊重他人沒有關系。大同為了給他的父親辦綠卡,在聽證會上說了是他給他的兒子刮痧的,老父親知道了這件事後,他自己一個人到了大同老闆昆蘭的家裡,跟他講了是他刮痧的,而不是大同,昆蘭問簡寧為什麼大同要說是他刮痧的,簡寧回了他一句:因為他是中國人。這些都是中西文化碰撞後產生的火花!

❽ 誰有電影《刮痧》的英文影評啊!急
Masterpiece on Cultural misunderstandings
Author: zzmale
Gua Sha is a treatment in traditional oriental medicine in which a wooden board repeatedly slides across the patient's acupuncture/acupressure/massage points. It works in similar principles like that of acupuncture/acupressure/massage. This method would inevitably leave bruise on the skin, and the story begins here, when the visiting grandpa who does not speak any English used this traditional practice to treat the grandson when both son and daughter-in-law were at work.
Sadly, in US, this is a story that repeats itself many times in the area where many oriental immigrants lives and all of these are e to simple misunderstanding between cultures.

❿ 電影《刮痧》觀後感——英文版
Gua Sha is a movie about the differences between American and Chinese culture. Xu datong is a video games designer in St. Louis. When his father visits from China, he performs Gua Sha (a Chinese traditional treatment) on his grandson, which leaves bright red marks on the skin and causes a lawsuit of child abuse. In the court, Datong loses his mind so that finally he loses custody of his son. I think this scene is shocking and thought-provoking to most of the Chinese audiences. But the most impressing scene to me is the ending. Datong wants to see his son in Christmas eve, he has to climb a pipe to the ninth floor which his son lives. I think the pipe is not only a pipe, but also a gap, a deep gap between American and 5000-year Chinese culture. He wants to climb over the gap and he will never succeed, perhaps no Chinese people really could succeed.
