Review of the movie The Treatment I had thought that everything in America is nice, and if you work hard, you would have a promising future and a happy life. But after watching the movie The Treatment, I knew that it’s not so easy, especially for Chinese, who have an absolutely different culture with Americans. The Treatment told a story of Xu Datong and his family, who was a Chinese and lived in City of Saint Louis, America. Xu had moved to America for several years, and he had a beautiful Chinese wife and a cute son named Dennis. When he got a big prize and think everything was Ok for his American life, however, trouble occurred to him which made him nearly breakdown. Dennis had a stomachache and his grandfather didn’t know the instruction in English of the medicine bottle, so the old man used a traditional Chinese treatment named Gua Sha. After doing that, Dennis’s back turned red. Unfortunately, the boy got hurt by accident later, and was sent to the hospital, where doctors found that Dennis seemed to be maltreated. Then Xu was charged for maltreating children and he was not allowed to approach his son, making him get very despaired and angry. On Christmas Eve, in order to meet his son, Xu dressed up as the Santa Claus and took a risk climbing a tall building. Wonderfully, the story has a happy ending. People had known the meaning of Gua Sha, and Xu was allowed to continue to live with his son. It’s so moving that I had cried many times during watching The Treatment, and you have to admit that it’s a masterpiece. Aiming at reflecting the cultural conflict between Chinese and Americans, the director did not show the conflict from the macroscopic view, instead, he chose a nominal story of a Chinese with circuitous plots, making the movie vivid, real and touching. As a good story, it has a beginning, a development, a climax and an ending, and the story has an especially wonderful climax and ending. The ending is Comic, which conforms to most audiences’ likes. And making you identify with characters is another reason for its success. When you finish it, you cannot help but to think that, what is culture? How do differences of culture influence our life? What should we do when facing a cultural conflict like the circumstances Xu Datong had experienced? So it is really an excellent movie with deep thoughts, which is the soul of a movie I think. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/e3221662b007e87101f69e3143323968011cf47a.html
