Seek a film about private international law! ! !

I think Guasha may talk about the conflict between culture and law. I study law. Strictly according to the definition of private international law, it is not very consistent, but it reflects the conflict of laws. Besides, this movie is very touching. There are also some court dramas, especially the cross-examination between lawyers. It's good. You can show it to your students. When we were in private international law, we just read more cases. If your purpose is to improve students' understanding of international affairs, we can also organize more classic private international law case discussions to deepen our understanding, such as the reaction of Fogo case, and even organize mock trials. I think it is good to look at Desai Morris's conflict of laws theory. Although the book is obscure, it is profound, and I think it is quite interesting, especially the analysis of some situations. I always feel that scholars in the common law system are very close to life and easy to accept. The second restatement of conflict laws in the United States is also acceptable and can be recommended for reading.

summary

"Others planted peaches for nine thousand years, and he picked them to eat without saying hello to his master. When people stopped him, he not only refused to be dissuaded, but also smashed his peach blossom garden. He took the pills that others worked so hard to refine and ate them. He also killed his master and destroyed his workshop before he left-such a savage and stubborn monkey was portrayed as a hero by Xu Datong in Electronic Games ... "-In the movie Scraping, an American lawyer hired by the prosecution described the Monkey King in The Journey to the West in court to prove that Xu Datong had immigrated to the United States.

The story takes place in St. Louis, a city on the Mississippi River in the central United States. Xu Datong (Tony Leung Ka Fai) came to the United States for eight years, with a successful career and a happy family. At the annual industry awards conference, he excitedly told everyone: I love America, and my American dream has finally come true! However, an accident later woke Xu Datong from her dream.

Five-year-old Dennis had a stomachache. Because his grandfather (Zhu Xu) couldn't understand the English instructions on the medicine, he treated Dennis with the folk scraping therapy, which became the evidence that Xu Datong abused the child after Dennis's accident.

In court, one unexpected witness and testimony after another made Xu Datong irrefutable. However, the theory of western medicine based on anatomy cannot explain the empirical Chinese medicine passed down from mouth to mouth. Faced with the "brand-new explanation" of China's traditional culture and ethics by the prosecution lawyer, Xu Datong finally lost his cool and reason ... The judge announced in court that he was deprived of the custody of Xu Datong and was not allowed to meet his son.

Angry Xu Datong and his friend Quinlan had misunderstandings and conflicts; In order to let my son stay at home and get the care of his mother (Jiang), he moved out of home. My father also decided to go back to China. In order to let the old man see his grandson again before he left, Xu Datong stole his son Dennis from the nursery and sent him to the airport to see him off. Xu Datong, who was wanted, escaped with his son, beat around the bush with the police who were chasing after him, played a car chasing game, and "calmly" enjoyed the moment of father-son reunion during his escape.

Father and son separated, husband and wife separated, friends broke up, work was abandoned ... A series of disasters came like a nightmare, and a beautiful and happy family suddenly became fragmented. I thought my American dream, which I had worked hard for many years, was completely shattered by this lawsuit that fell from the sky. In the shabby apartment in the slum, the Datong couple who met each other drank wine to drown their sorrows and cried bitterly.

On Christmas Eve, Xu Datong longed for family reunion. He had to take risks, dressed as "Santa Claus", and climbed quietly from the water pipe outside the apartment building to the high tenth floor-his own window. As a result, the police car roared by. ......
