好几年前看过的《刮痧》，剧情早已模糊，隐约记得的就是父亲为看儿子而扮成圣诞老人爬上下水管道，那一刻貌似也赚取了当年我的眼泪。
最近看到阿米绪人的故事，想到这部电影，觉得有些异曲同工，关于所谓差异。
阿米绪人，历史悠久的一个教派，再洗礼派的分支，简而言之，就是一群在美国现代社会中生活着的“原始人”，过着节俭克己与世无争远离现代的生活。他们的特立独行却造成了与现代社会的若干冲突。譬如他们认为孩子读书只需要读要14岁就足够，这就违反了义务教育法，导致父母被罚款甚至拘捕，骨肉分离。法律的本意是好的，为了提高公民素质；然而却触动了阿米绪人选择如何教育孩子的自由——在美国，家人具有这一自由是被法律认可的。这样广泛的冲突，相比起“刮痧”这一偶然事件，更具有典型意义。
美国人要如何面对并解决这一冲突的呢？
姑且不论，我是在想，《刮痧》一片，反映文化差异，算是感人心肺催人泪下，但是却仅至于此，未免简化了因果而显肤浅。留给观众的感受无非是：在美国你再成功也是异乡人，无法融入他们的文化
Most of us grow up with a strong depressor of American dream, which encourages thinking big and struggling for it. The so-called American dream shows us that all people can succeed through their hard work, and that all people have the potential to live successful lives. They firmly believe that America is a real paradise where one deserves his own behaviors without any imparity of race, family, fortune etc.
However, is this sort of dream as perfect as we image? Well, the movie Guasha Treatment shows the other side of the ‘dramatic dream'. Life could never be so easy and sometimes even a tiny thing could be a fuse of big trouble. In the movie we couldn't simply say that it's just someone's fault, but,in fact,it's a kind of certainty--the certainty of cultural difference between China and America.
