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.
刚一进入超市,眼前的景象就令我大吃一惊。这里的物品琳琅满目、数不胜数,有点心、糖果、水果、蔬菜、肉制品、海鲜、儿童玩具等等,真是应有尽有。这里的.人也非常多,摩肩接踵,熙熙攘攘,把若大的商场挤得水泄不通,简直就是人的海洋。 在食品柜前,人们挑挑拣拣,百挑不厌;售货员们也都不厌其烦地热情招待。人们交钱时,售货员则在一边左一袋右一袋地包装着,动作娴熟,包好后亲切地递交到顾客的手里。有的顾客买的东西多,袋子的数量多,大家虽然这只手拿一袋,那只手拿一袋的,但还是有好多东西没地方拿。只得臂弯上挎一袋,腋窝夹一袋的,真恨不得拿那可大可小的锦囊袋来装。由于人实在太多了,商场北侧有十多个收银台呢,可是还是排了一条长龙似的队伍。 商场门口,一排排车早已在那排上号了,购买好东西的人们提着自己的包坐上车子,笑容满面,各个都有满载而归的成就感。
欢声笑语在这里荡漾着,整个商场洋溢着祥和的气氛。
你好!这几天的暑假,你过得还好吗?我过得很好,我这几天经历了一件十分难忘的事情,事情是这样的......还记得前天,一只小猫来到了我家,它迈着轻盈的步子,来到我们家,我有些高兴,因为我十分喜欢小猫小狗,它还向我卖萌,哦,忘记说它的样子了!它是一只狸花猫,狸花猫有非常圆的头部,非常宽大的面颊,两只耳朵存在的间距不是很短,耳朵的.大小十分的合适,有非常宽广的耳根,很深的耳廓。它那非常大的眼睛是很闪亮的,形状是圆杏核的,有一个尖尖的红彤彤的鼻子,一个小舌头不住的卖萌,十分可爱,而且偶尔还发出喵~的叫声,十分惹人怜爱......
再说它做的事吧,说到这里,我忍不住一下,相信你看到了也会捧腹大笑,那个时候,它爬到我爸爸做的桌子身边,这时候,他开始使坏了:他用那尖尖的爪子一碰我爸爸的皮肤,啊!只听一声惨叫,我一看,小猫也吓了一跳,马上胖到了我身后,它这时肯定心想:叫什么叫,吓我一跳,真是的大惊小怪!
而且这只小猫还有的挑食呢!我把一块鸡腿给它吃,可是他闻了闻,就走开了,可是只要拿出一条鱼来,他马上就开始和你亲热了,嘻嘻。
说起来,我还觉得有件事有些奇怪,我们晚上每天都把它锁在屋里,可是我们第二天一起床,它竟不见了!难道他会飞檐走壁吗?难道他就是江湖上早已失传的......猫大侠的后代吗?可下午,它又回来了,真神奇啊!他到底是不是猫大侠的后裔呢?呵呵,谁知道呢!
祝
身体健康,心想事成!
因为同名专辑里把《地球之盐》和《蜉蝣》排在一二首,两首歌相似点也颇多,就放在一起评价。
两首歌都抛弃了主流流行乐里A-B-A-B-C-B(A是主歌,B是副歌,C是过渡段)的结构。甚至在《地球之盐》里,前三分钟唱的两段都是主歌,辅以钢琴伴奏和氛围音效以及短暂出现的鼓点。3:00左右合唱团的吟唱声出现,之后加入军鼓,沉重的鼓点像疾风怒涛,想象一下在疾风怒涛中人类齐声合唱,不正和“地球之盐”这个主题不谋而合吗。
《蜉蝣》和《地球之盐》很相似,两者可以无缝衔接。要说不一样的\'地方就是3:30秒毫无征兆的出现了Dubstep,粗重的车库音效似乎是在模仿人的咆哮怒吼,使压抑了许久的情感一瞬间爆发的更彻底。
个人认为华晨宇算是独立气息比较浓厚的音乐人,听过他的一个现场(貌似叫《癌》),里面有用到Trip-hop的鼓点。在这两首歌里,Ambient/Baroque pop/Dubstep也有所体现。虽然这些在欧美音乐里挺常见,但在华语流行里出现的不多,对于专注华语流行乐的一些人来说可能闻所未闻。所以个人对于《地球之盐》这张专辑还是比较满意的。
如果要说缺点,华晨宇的唱功还有待加强,《蜉蝣》里华晨宇单薄的嗓音快被Dubstep音效淹没了,咬字也得练练。
在2015年我们坚信花花能有更好的作品呈现给大家!火星撞地球,晨宇你最牛!
