【正文】 impolite and respectful to ask the elder not to do something. When Chinese show their anger, it is also implicit. Datong was very angry to his boss, because he has thought his boss would help him on this issue. Datong hoped his boss to support him, but the fact that the boss told everything straightforward, which was unfavorable to Datong. In Datong?s view, they were friends and it?s responsible for the boss to help him and he took the frankness of his boss as a kind of betrayal. He was unwilling to work there any more and planned to quit that job after no discussion with his boss. It?s normal to a Chinese man to show his anger and express their spilt relationship. From the perspective of the American, it has nothing to do with their friendship. It?s reasonable and lawful to tell the judge all the truth. They don?t show personal emotions in the business and persuaded Datong to work, which is a way to show his kindness and concern. The ending of this movie is happy and warm. The boss understood Gua Sha treatment and Datong?s family gained reunion on the important western festival. No matter in East or West, family reunion and family love are enjoyable and happy. In the end, the grandfather educated and taught his son again. It was warm and moving because we can feel the father?s love。 no matter he expressed his love explicitly or implicitly. The grandfather left America because he found it was troublesome and upset for a person like him to live in the Western culture. It was a failure for an elderly like him in intercultural munication, and it was a success for the young generation in America. The last episode in the movie was the boy?s learning mandarin, which was a strong contrast to the beginning of the movie, where the boy was educated to speak English to prepare for the petition of the future. No culture is more advanced than others and cultural diversity should be advocated and protected. Human brain is an open system and supposed to appreciate the diversity. Finally, the name of the leading man in this movie, “Datong”, is also a Chinese Confucian classical term, which means great harmony. Obviously, the name was created with the implied meaning. “Datong” society is the perfect and ideal society in Confucianism, which conveyed the hope and wish of the movie producers. Although there are so many different countries, cultures, systems, races, etc, it?s a pursuit to build such kind of harmonious society without discrimination, prejudice, conflict, war… Most of us grow up with a strong depressor of American dream, which encourages thinking big and struggling for it. The socalled American dream shows us that all people can succeed through their hard work, and that all people have the potential to live successful lives. Until now the American dream even bees more concrete. It?s a dream for many intellectuals to continue their studies and works in America. They firmly believe that it?s a real paradise where one deserves his own behaviors without any imparity of race, family, fortun etc. 8 However, is this sort of dream as perfect as we image? Well, the movie Guasha shows the other side of the ?dramatic dream?. Life could never be so easy and ideal as no matters will trouble you. Sometime even a tiny thing could be a fuse of big trouble. In the movie we couldn?t simply say that it?s just the butterfly effect, but also a kind of certainty—the certainty of cultural difference between China and America. In fact, the cultural difference shouldn?t be ignored for the immigration. The main line of the movie is the Chinese treatment Guasha. The children welfare anization confirms it as abusing. The hero Datong tries hard to explain what Guasha is and separate Guasha from abusing. For us Chinese, it?s really ridiculous to consider Guasha as abusing. But no matters how hard the father tries to persuade the native Americans, all the efforts turn out to be in vain. The judge can?t believe nor understand the poor father?s heart. Finally in order to bring their son from charity, the parents have choice but to live separately. Also the teaching method turns to be another difference. In China, we have an old saying: scolding and beating is a kind of love. But the Americans don?t think so, for them, scolding will hurt a child?s feeling and beating is an illegal action. They couldn?t understand how parent beats his own child in name of love. The way Chinese parents show their love is quite different to the American?s. Once a parent beats his child, the other will bite the evidence to prove his irresponsibility. That is why Datong loses the case. The view of respecting and caring aged parents is also different. In the movie, Datong?s boss doesn?t understand Datong?s being scapegoat of his father. When he asks this to Jianning, Datong?s wife, she replies with a simple sentence ?because he is a Chinese?. She knows it?s hard to explain Datong?s behavior to his boss. It?s as difficult as to persuade the judge that Guasha is not abusing. We can?t avoid the cultural difference or ignore its existence. So, do as Rome does while in Rome. And munication is a no bad way. Maybe after the munication the world would be more harmony in the future.
