A review of《The Pursuit of Happiness》
Recently, I have seen a touching and encouraging film which named The Pursuit of Happiness. To be honest, during watching this movie, sometimes I laughed happily, sometimes I burst into tears. I was sympathy to the man in story for his unfortunate. This movie which emits a slim of light into every desperate heart did give me a big shock and impressed me deeply, and the strong power of Chris has been influencing me all the time.
If one person who had nothing wanted to succeed, how should he do?
I never thought about the answer, but I got it after I saw the film “The Pursuit of Happiness”. The answer is “keep happy and pursuit the happiness forever”.
Here are mainly three characters: Chris Gardner、Christopher、Linda, and the leading character is Chris Gardner, the father. This movie is based on a true story of famous self-made millionaire, Chris Gardner who is filled with energy，creativity and confidence.
There was a man called Chris Gardner who worked hard day and night, but still could hardly make a living. Finally, his wife left Chris because of life pressure, leaving him and their five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Chris became a single father. He had to rush out persuading doctors to buy his scanner. With the failure of his trying, Chris had no money to pay for the rent, so they slept in asylum, public bathroom
or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son’s future and his own belief, Chris never gave up, and he strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today. With his great efforts and amazing willpower, he eventually became a successful investor, coming to his day of happiness.
At the beginning of the movie, when Chris Gardner came across Chinatown, he pointed at the world Happiness on the wall, saying that there is no Y in “Happiness”, it’s an I. Coming to think of it, we are always asking ourselves why we always find others in happiness but not ourselves. This point impressed me a lot, we should pursuit our happiness on our own. When we face difficulties, we had better think about Chris’situation, believing that happiness is simple, and then I’m sure that nothing will hurt you anymore. So let’s take the letter “I”instead of the letter “Y” in happiness.
People often say that life itself is always more dramatic than fiction invented. The Pursuit of Happiness is based on the true story of black stockbroker Christopher Gardner’s life experience. It tells the story of difficulties, successes, dreams, and happiness. The plot is very simple; the thoughts are clear and easy to understand. It is a typical encouraging film of American style. It praise striving spirit, supports
