『壹』 求电影《刮痧》影评 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.

THE TREATMENT (GUA SHA)
by Rich Cline
A Chinese film shot completely on location in St. Louis, this is an off-beat hybrid that never quite works, even though it has a worthy and intriguing central premise. A young, successful Chinese immigrant couple (Tony Leung Ka Fai and Jiang Wenli) give their 5-year-old son (Dennis Zhu) a painless, ancient Chinese treatment called gua sha, which leaves marks on the boy's back. This alerts the authorities, who take the child away and charge the parents with abuse and neglect. Numerous court hearings ensue, followed by lots of overwrought melodrama, which will probably please Eastern audiences much more than Western ones. The acting is uneven (the Asian cast is superb; most of the Americans are, frankly, awful), as are the proction values (very slick camera work sits at odds with a cheesy musical score). First-time director Zheng Xiaolong will probably find success back home with this cautionary tale of life in the Promised Land. But few Americans or Europeans will take its TV movie-of-the-week sensibilities very seriously.
Review by Rich Cline
Gua Sha had its world premiere at the St Louis International Film Festival
A compelling tale of culture clash in middle America, Gua Sha centres on a young Chinese couple (Leung and Jiang) who immigrate to St Louis with their bright young son (Zhu), who they're raising to be a proper American. Then a doctor treating the boy for a minor bump notices strange scarring on his back, social services step in to protect the child and a legal battle ensues, dragging the parents through the courts to prove them as abusive and neglectful, which of course they're not. The marks are from an ancient (and painless) Chinese medical treatment called gua sha.
OK, so it's not much more than a made-for-TV premise, and the filmmaking is pretty tame in many respects, tracing the obvious melodramatic storyline from the family's delirious happiness through the most bleak darkness imaginable. First-time director Zheng has an excellent technical crew behind him, but the performances are extremely uneven (the Asian cast is superb; most Yanks seem like they're from a local amateur theatre group). And finally, the cheesy musical score combines with overwrought plot points to alienate Western viewers, leaving us quite intrigued by the themes and story possibilities, but disappointed by the film itself.

Gua Sha, known as kerik in Indonesia, Cao Gio in Vietnam (see Harvey Keitel's The Three Seasons) and khoud lam in Laos is a legitimate and effective therapy. In Asia it is usually done with a coin, Chinese soup spoon, slice of water buffalo horn, or even a slice of ginger. A simple cap with a rounded edge is quite good to use and available in most homes in the West. It was not commonly done with wood, but if smooth and the right edge it could be. There is a teaching text in English called Gua Sha. A Traditional Technique for Modern Practice, and a teaching video: Gua Sha: Step-by-Step, by Arya Nielsen.If an acupuncturist is trained in Classical Chinese medicine, they will do this technique in their practice for pain, and for acute or chronic illness.

Gua Sha - The Treatment (2001)
EmailWritten by pppatty on Jan-29-09 3:32am
From: pppatty.blogspot.com
Life is full of surprises. I religiously scour the German television scheles (which I receive by satellite) for oddities, particularly on the German/French arts channel Arte. I have found most of my silent collection there; for example, last week they showed a 2007 restoration of Intolerance (1916) and their selection of unusual cinema is matchless. The only problem with them (and all of the other German channels) is their propensity for overbbing rather than relying on subtitles.
I noticed the above Taiwanese film in the afternoon scheles and didn't bother to check it out; I just noted that it was starring Tony Leung and I assumed it would be something pretty special. Well for a start it wasn't the Tony Leung of the recent Wong Kar Wai and Ang Lee films but the actor of the same name who starred in "The Lover" (1992), who is also a fine actor but not the one I was expecting. The next surprise is that this was a modern-day drama, set and filmed in St. Louis, Missouri and written primarily in English, which led to the very pleasant surprise that the movie was not bbed but used German subtitles for the dialogue which switched between English and Mandarin (and I was able to cope with these for the brief non-English dialogue).
But enough about the background: the final surprise was how involving the story was. Leung plays a prize-winning computer game designer, who, together with his equally intelligent wife and US-born 6-year son, is trying to assimilate into the American life style and the American dream. He has brought over his non-English-speaking father from the mainland and hopes to obtain a green card for him. When the child falls at home and is taken to hospital for stitches, the doctors note the extreme bruising on his back and conclude that he has been abused; and the do-gooder social workers immediately remove the cosseted child from his home and very loving parents. All attempts to explain that the bruising is the result of an ancient Chinese health treatment known as Gua Sha -- and in fact administered by the grandfather -- do not impress the ignorant court and they deem the child permanently at risk. The Child Services lawyer takes pleasure in presenting the father as a violent man -- based on the kind of games he designs -- and provokes him into losing his temper in court which hardly helps his case. I don't want to go on to explain how this situation develops and how it resolves itself, even if the film does not appear to be on DVD at present, as the possible spoilers are many. I will just mention that the penultimate scenes involve Leung in a Santa Claus suit climbing up the drainpipe to the family's ninth floor apartment with a toy monkey in his arm -- real heart in your throat action. I could do with a lot more surprises like this one.

Review Summary
Hong Kong indie film icon Tony Leung stars in this Chinese proction about cultural misunderstanding and intolerance. Datong (Leung) is a patrician of a St. Louis Chinese-American family and a designer of violent video games. When Datong's father (Zhu Xu) visits from China, he performs some traditional Chinese medicine on his young grandson. Though painless, the treatment leaves bright red marks on the skin, which are interpreted by the kid's teacher as welts. Soon the Child Welfare Agency is accusing the family of child abuse and transfers the kid to a foster home. This film was screened at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
『叁』 求 电影 刮痧 的英文观后感 20分
初看名字，以为是伦理片，刮痧，中国一门医学上传统的手艺，在两千多年的历史长河里，一直稳稳健健地在中国大地上繁衍生息，然而有一天，它出现在自由民主的美国社会中，便被人误解，以至于上演了一场家庭的悲欢离合，可喜的是梁家辉将父亲角色演绎的动人心弦，蒋雯丽也以一贯的荧幕形象几乎是本色出演，很准确的把握了作为妻子的恨、爱、心碎与心疼，只是在母亲的角色上稍稍淡化了些。当不得不以分居为条件来换回孩子时，妻子毅然“恶狠狠”地转身“I agree!”当事情逼迫地不得不真的要丈夫离开时，妻子心疼地抱着丈夫不忍心丈夫一个人生活。从丈夫在法庭上被敌人激怒地掉进了别人的圈套开始，妻子的气愤到后来的疯狂最后的心灰，像是个妻子对丈夫地无奈～因为她知道，丈夫的任何表现都会让孩子离自己越来越远。
梁家辉在里面是个可以把自己割裂开来只要孩子回到自己的身边的父亲，而淡化了丈夫的角色，跟随着事情地进展，电影一步一步推向高潮，在法庭上被’敌人’逼得控制不住情绪，为别人指责他是个不负责任的父亲而气愤，为别人亵渎中国的传统文化而愤慨！事情向不利的方向进展，他怪自己的朋友，恨美国的不兼容！在美国生活的8年里，遇到了多少困难与艰辛，多少不易与挫折，他忍受了，坚持了，但是这一次，他再也无法妥协，他站起来抵抗！站起来作战！因为他们夺去的是自己的孩子，自己的骨肉！所以他的不理智行为我们都是可以理解的。
影片有个几个亮点，其中之一便是父亲载着孩子在马路上和警察追逐，与其说追逐，不如说是为了孩子，孩子什么都不懂，他觉得好玩，所以父亲可以什么都不在乎，忘却一切地满足孩子的快乐！只是车终究要停下来，他们的家庭要面对的噩梦依然存在。夫妻分居了，孩子终于回到了家里，只是父亲离开了，父与子不能相见，妻子去看望颓废的丈夫，一起喝烈酒，让酒精刺痛喉咙麻醉身体。他们想呐喊想反抗可是不能，只有让所有的委屈所有的愤恨往肚子里咽。
本来父亲想带着孩子和爷爷一起逃回中国，但是爷爷坚决地说：不能这样做！生活就是这样，什么事情都可能发生，你躲是躲不开的。
什么事情都可能发生，一语道破这个事件的玄机！不能躲不能逃，我们对家人的爱，成为我们接受一切不幸的勇气。
因为爱，父亲打扮成圣诞老人，从下水道上爬回自己的家里。幸好，故事有个圆满的结局。没有让人失望与遗憾。
这部电影以中西方的文化差异为背景，除了表现父子夫妻之间的不容割裂的爱之外，还让人看到了中国人的骨气，也是一个成功之处。
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.
『肆』 求一篇400字左右的电影《刮痧》英文观后感，体现中西方文化差异，语法不用太准确，高中生水平即可
《刮痧》这部电影重点不是讲怎么刮痧，刮痧有什么好处，而是讲因为刮痧致使一个家庭经历具体的苦难。电脑游戏设计师许大同与妻子简宁在美国奋斗了8年，事业有成。一次意外却令美好的家庭变得愁云惨雾：5岁的儿子生病了，老父亲用传统的中国民间刮痧帮孙子治病。大同夫妻继而被控告虐待儿童，一个又一个物证人证令夫妻俩百口莫辩，西医根本无法了解这种传统中国疗法。因为这件事，父子与夫妻都不得已的分开了。圣诞节那天，门卫不让大同去家里见简宁和他儿子，无奈之下，他只好冒着生命危险爬水管爬上九楼，并在那晚法院撤销了对抚养孩子的审判，最终皆大欢喜。
观看这部电影时，给我最大的感触就是中西文化的差异。老父亲是爱他的孙子的，他孙子生病了老父亲给他刮痧，在背上留下的痕迹却被人认为是这孩子受了虐待，这是美国人不懂得刮痧是什么造成的；对待孩子的问题上，中国人将孩子当做是自己的私人财产，可以随时对孩子进行管教，但在美国，孩子却被当成是社会财产，一旦孩子受了伤害，孩子的父母就会被剥夺抚养权，由儿童福利中心进行养育，在大同的颁奖会上，他的儿子打了他老板的儿子，大同让他儿子道歉，但他却不道歉，大同打了一下他儿子的头，大同认为这是对他老板的尊重，当然，中国人大多都是这样，在不分三七二十一先打了自己的孩子再说，这表示自己没有教养好，打孩子是对别人的尊重，但美国人却不这么认为，他的老板看到大同打他儿子表示很惊讶，并且认为教养孩子跟尊重他人没有关系。大同为了给他的父亲办绿卡，在听证会上说了是他给他的儿子刮痧的，老父亲知道了这件事后，他自己一个人到了大同老板昆兰的家里，跟他讲了是他刮痧的，而不是大同，昆兰问简宁为什么大同要说是他刮痧的，简宁回了他一句：因为他是中国人。这些都是中西文化碰撞后产生的火花！

Impression On the Film Gua Sha Treatment
"Person in the United States, it is very difficult to blend into local culture." I read in the circle to be optimistic about the film "Gua Sha," after the greatest feeling. With the advance of the screen, the interpretation of the story, an American of Chinese society now ran the family encountered.
After years of hard work, Xu Datong, a Chinese immigrant to the US, has finally achieved success as an outstanding video game designer. With his promising career and loving family, he feels he has become a true American. Datong’s father comes over from China, and uses a traditional Chinese medical technique, called guasha, to treat Datong`s son, Dennis. Unexpectedly, an American doctor thinks the bruises on Dennis` back left by the guasha treatment are signs of child abuse, and the finger is pointed at Datong. The Treatment is a moving portrayal of the enormous gulfs between cultures and their possible repercussion between cultures and their possible repercussions.
The film “Gua Sha-the Treatment” reflects the difference of value and culture views between western society and orient society. China society has been receiving impact of Confucianism for thousands years. Confucianism is known as paying regard to human relationship and ethic. Piety, courtesy and loyalism are most important ethic. But in Western culture which is more emphasis on indivialism, independence and equality. So conflicts in culture and value are unavoidable. These conflicts have shown in the story.
In Chinese culture, physical punishment is commonly used by Chinese family. They think this will help to growing up. But in western society it is absolutely forbidden. Any abusing children was viewed as illegal conct. As to show respect to friends, Da Tong Xu punished his own son physically in front of friends. But this was misinterpreted as violence by his foreign friends. This is a misunderstanding in culture between East and West.
How to avoid the tragedy of the story? We must strengthen the East-West cultural exchange and learning, and only with respect to different cultures and inclusive will it be possible to avoid the culture and values of conflict.
『陆』 关于电影《刮痧》的影评，这个用英文怎么翻译，英文中有书名号么
又名: Gua Sha Treatment / Gua Sha
2009年3月11日晚慕名观看了郑晓龙导演的《刮痧》。或许先前是在CCTV-6看过此片的影评，所以并没有像小颖同学那样感动的从头哭到尾，不过不可否认这是一部成功的电影。
众大家皆言这是一部反映中美文化差异的电影，我却更倾向于将它理解为一部将中国文化、道德观和价值观传承的作品。片中大同在功成名就之时将久居北京的知识分子老爹接至美国并准备为其申请绿卡，其间对美国的“聋哑”生活和升华的刮痧事件最终让老人离开圣路易斯，还有里面一些细节是反映两国文化的巨大差异的，但我认为这不是主线。从一开始简宁意欲为丹丹营造一个英语环境到片尾与大同一起教丹丹说普通话，这条草蛇灰线般一直潜伏的简宁的心理变化，我认为它才能表现出这部电影的主旨。
先截取影片中的一些片断来看这部电影吧。（以下并不全为支持我的观点,仅是我对一些片断的看法）
片断一：
来看看许大同先生的获奖感言：“八年前我还是一个新移民，站在街头卖画为生，不过我相信，只要努力，总有一天会成为你们中的一员，一个真正的、成功的美国人。今天，这个奖证明了，美国是个充满机会的地方......我爱你们，我爱美国，这就是我的美国之梦...”这是一段真实的陈述，但这般的喜悦之下隐逸着的危机将在后面出现，这个真正的美国人却不是已经完全美国化，这是先将故事提到一定的高度，随着事件的发展再狠狠地砸下……
片断二：
不得不说的是大同晚宴上对丹尼斯的教育，这点上，大同完全体现出来的是一个中国式父亲，关掉电游，拍打丹尼斯脑袋，这一系列的动作正是我们在中国这大环境下所常看到的。我想作为美国人的昆兰产生疑惑不解是很正常的，这一点被拿来作为文化差异的佐证。
片断三：
老霍的出现到老霍的结束总共只出现了三件事：工作，生活，死亡。在晚宴上扮演兵马俑说明老霍穷困潦倒，工作不稳定，经济来源就是接一下这样的活；生活中的消遣就是赌场赌博，赌博的规则是浅显易懂的，这说明老霍的生活也就大众的，浅层的，是未能融入美国社会中的。赚着微薄的工资，在赌场中挥霍，最后死于心脏病。老霍的出现到结束也就是给老爹的回国预留伏笔，在老爹心里已经不能承受客死他乡的沉痛。
片断四：
大同在听证会上的震怒应该给很多人惊讶，在法官面前怎么可意气用事？但是想一想，当一个泼皮般的人在你面前搬弄是非诋毁祖国的文化，你会怎么样？拍案而起，怒发冲冠...这个不是文化的差异，但是似乎不得不说，因为这段涉及了对文化的解读。
片断五：
对老霍墓碑的独白，是对文化差异的总结，从此以后再没有写文化差异的片断，这段给我很深的感触，呼应前篇。对大同的一番话“你想逃跑吗？......生活就是这样，什么事情都可能发生，你躲是躲不开的....”这便又是中国思想的衍生，这是老父亲对儿子的教育，又是一次传承。
片断六：
开车回福利院，途中警察围追堵截，而大同平稳驶车，“从容地”在逃亡中享受父子团聚的片刻快乐，这段便是本片中欢快的一段。注意到在孩子睡着后大同的表情了么？大同欣慰的微笑变成了紧皱的眉头，这是大同的无奈，是只能在孩子背后流露出的无奈。
片断七：
大同的生活出租屋里一片狼藉。一个破碎的家庭，不是因为自己而是因为制度，这可笑的原因正是让大同无奈的原因，生活失去了方向。简宁与其一起饮酒，嘲讽自己也是出于同样的原因，最后大同悲痛的说“不许这样说”，这是对美国生活的呐喊。
一个很想说的人物----简宁进门前的那个妓女，出现的镜头只有惊艳的回眸一瞥，那轻蔑的眼神不屑的看着简宁经过。这是一个悲剧的角色，出来美国却沦落为妓，而不是像大同所说的那样成为一个成功的美国人，这也是一种无奈。
片断八：
很明显我要写大结局了，最后“圣诞老人”爬水管上演惊险一幕...一家三口紧拥在一起享受团聚，导演选择用圣诞节这样的节日不仅仅是可以让许大同有一个可以伪装的形象，也是为了说明中国的团聚文化在西方的节日里也可以出现，这就涉及到了文化的广义性，及一个大同世界。
当然简宁的心理作为隐线我就不说了，这也是我无法叙述的，只可自己体会的。
在我结束这篇文章之前我还要写一点有建设性的东西。个人认为此片电影的一些名字取得确实有些想表达中心旨意的意思，看。
刮痧，就是利用刮痧器具，刮试经络穴位，通过良性刺激，充分发挥营卫之气的作用，使经络穴位处充血，改善局部微循环，起到祛除邪气，疏通经络，舒筋理气，驱风散寒，清热除湿，活血化瘀，消肿止痛，以增强机体自身潜在的抗病能力和免疫机能，从而达到扶正祛邪，防病治病的作用。 文化差异在影片中算是一种瘀病，需要刮痧才能一个经脉的两端连在一起，活血化瘀的作用，亦可以理解成祖一辈的文化受到阻隔，需要刮痧刮去隔阂才能有一个文化的传承继续下去。
另《礼记·礼运·大道之行也》大道之行也，天下为公。选贤与能，讲信修睦，故人不独亲其亲，不独子其子，使老有所终，壮有所用，幼有所长，矜寡孤独废疾者，皆有所养。男有分，女有归。货，恶其弃于地也，不必藏于己；力，恶其不出于身也，不必为己。是故，谋闭而不兴，盗窃乱贼而不作，故外户而不闭，是谓大同。这就是为什么给主人公起“大同”的原因吧------“世界大同”。

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.

『捌』 求《刮痧》的英语影评
电影《刮痧》的放映有如老火煲靓汤，时间愈久愈见滋味。日前，该片京城影院二轮放映的票房成绩迅速超过首轮，使得《刮痧》北京票房总额超过220万元。并且该片放映后劲悠长的状况，不仅在北京地区有表现，上海、南京、深圳、广州等地，《刮痧》的放映也同样是“有滋有味”，目前该片全国首轮票房已达900多万元，据发行单位保守预计，待《刮痧》放映全部下片，票房有望攀升到1300万元，创下国产电影票房的好成绩。
记得不久前《刮痧》首轮放映结束后的第二天，京城电影业内人士还就该片发行放映结果进行了一个“国产优秀电影发行放映研讨会”。与会者并未对《刮痧》京城首轮放映票房过百万元的成绩弹冠相庆，而是作出反思，认为该片应执行非常规发行方案，譬如拍卖该片首映权，在取得首映权的影院先期放映，通过一段时间的放映，用观众口碑渐渐“烘”热市场，再全线铺开上映获取预期票房；增加能够体现影片最佳品质的英文原声拷贝，减少配音版本拷贝的投放等措施。故而，该片最终实行的保守操作，导致《刮痧》北京票房虽好却未达预期。
不过，值得欣慰的是，这部品质精良的影片，终于在一段时间放映后，为观众渐渐认识和喜爱。在3月8日开始为期一周多时间的二轮放映中，即创下国产电影二轮放映票房迅速赶超首轮的纪录。据悉，临近二轮放映快结束的3月13日和14日，《刮痧》零售和团体票都还卖得火热。华星(原澳华)影院郑总为此惊叹连连：“《刮痧》放映越来越好的势头，影院原来也有一定估计，但现在是好得出乎意料，如果拷贝条件允许的话，我们打算再放一段时间。”去年全国影院票房第一名的上海环艺影城此次放映《刮痧》，在不到一个月内票房就超了50万元，影城经理林琦对该片信心十足：“《刮痧》放了这么长时间，到现在第四个周末过了还这样火爆，在国产电影的放映中是鲜见的。目前排片的打算，我们起码要把它排至4月上旬。”新影联影业公司有关方面负责人高军，这会儿也舒展了眉头：“《刮痧》应该有这样的好收成。二轮放映的效果证明，好片子的‘好’，确实得给观众一个反应和发现的时间。”
本片是梅尔 吉卜森主演又一部具有史诗背景的影片，创作人员阵容强大，剧本由《拯救大兵瑞恩》的编剧罗拨特?路戴执笔，导演则是《独立日》《酷斯拉》的罗兰德?伊马利奇，是今年好莱坞的一部重头大片。
影片在南北战争中的一些真实历史事件的基础上进行了艺术加工，其中男主人公本杰明?马丁以及他的儿子等人物都在历史上却有其人。梅尔 吉卜森在片中饰演男主角本杰明?马丁，一个美国独立战争期间的英雄，早期曾经为殖民扩张而战，后来对战争产生了厌恶，直到轰轰烈烈的美国南北战争的战火烧到了家门口，才逼他又投身到了美国人民追求自由和民主的斗争中。梅尔?吉卜森自己透露，原来他父亲早年也是个反战份子，因打过仗深知战争的惨烈，所以为了避免梅尔吉勃逊卷入越战，才举家迁往澳大利亚，因此在诠释这一角色时自然有切身的体会。饰演梅尔吉勃逊的大儿子杰布列的是曾在《关于你的10件事》（10 Things I Hate About You）挑大梁的新星希斯莱杰（Heath Ledger）。
这部影片在真实再现历史方面下了大功夫，为求写实并呈现最原始的场舭，制作小组还特地与“史密斯松尼”机构合作，“史密斯松尼”机构相当于我们常说的历史博物馆，专门研究和保存美国的历史文化，而导演也将拍摄场舭移至当时发生独立战争的地点南卡罗莱纳州，并依照十八世纪的建筑样式在当地重建一座城镇，甚至还研究南卡罗莱纳州所种的树木，可见导演的用心程度。
『玖』 电影《刮痧》观后感——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.
