I. Introduction
Culture reflects the history of a country or nation, as well as the traditions, lifestyle, behaviors, ways of thinking and values. Movies have been deeply planted into every culture. Movies are the product of cultures. The movie shows the cultural element which makes the audience understand a nation and encourages people to enlarge the field of vision, challenge themselves, finding that the unity of life and interdependence of all beings. The movie Guasha serves as a good example showing the conflicts between Chinese and western cultures. Briefly speaking, the movie Guasha designs a Sino-US cultural conflict by focusing on the traditional Chinese medicine “scraping”. The conflicts are helpful to expose the existing problems. There are differences and similarities in different cultures. Only through active communication can eventually lead to fusion. Namely, with the rapid development of globalization, fusion of different cultures is the general trend. Cultural exchanges between China and the west are also increasingly frequent. The people of all nations have realized the importance of intercultural communication. However, in the process of mutual communication, every country and nation has its own cultural tradition, values and ways of thinking. It is no doubt that these causes cultural collisions and conflicts. We can foresee that a clash of civilizations will become the greatest threat to world peace. To strengthen cultural communication is beneficial to create a harmonious cultural atmosphere, which plays an important part in international activities. The forecast on cultural differences and integration of the development is practical significance, which provides a theoretical basis with us.
