Family education, as an important part of educational business, has potential influence on children's growth during the process of family interaction. Whether it succeeds or not has totally different effects on a person's whole life. Well-qualified people are needed in today's world;however, cultivating talents starts from family education. Since China and America differs a lot in cultural tradition, notion and consciousness, social customs as well as life styles, family education is also different between the two countries. As a result, there are many films that can reflect educational differences.
