The Pursuit of Happyness

A good inspirational film, although the main line design is still an old routine-after suffering and suffering, the protagonist and son are supported along the way, and the story is warm and sorrowful to inject a strong warmth into the film.
There are three things in the film that touch me deeply. One is that Chris went to sell the bone mineral density scanner with his son after his wife ran away. After so many bumps and bumps, he finally sold one. When he cashed the check, his son was staring at the chocolate (it seems to be). Chris asked him if he wanted He didn't speak, asked again, smiled or took it away. The son is really cute, and he still gives up after patience. If he feels a little sad, the child can feel the burden of life.
Furthermore, it is the plot of the father and son spending the night at the subway station, where the two huddled in the bathroom covered with toilet paper. The exhausted child had fallen asleep leaning on his father. Facing the constant knocking outside the locked door, Chris hugged his son tightly, tears of collapse fell silently.
In the end, when Chris was finally hired, he didn't have the slightest expression of excitement, but his sharp and determined eyes turned red. Although there is no glamorous performance along the way, after all, I have come here through all obstacles. Looking at success, I really don't have to be excited and crazy. Behind those perseverance and persistence, success is also inevitable.
After watching the film, I realized that the "happiness" in the title was written as happyness, which is a bridge in the film. Think about it, there is happiness everywhere, and a name doesn't have much meaning.
I really like what Chris said, not only to have a dream, but also to protect it. It suddenly occurred to me that Luffy and Soro in "One Piece" face the scenes of defending their dreams and will never fight back against the attacks of enemies who slander their dreams. This is not the first time I have heard this point of view, but it is the first time to pay attention to protection. In fact, it is a kind of persistence, trust in dreams.
At the beginning of the film, Chris was lost in a crowd of smiling faces in the crowded street, standing blankly, "Why everyone is happy, but I can't be like this". At the end of the credits, when Chris came there again through trial, he applauded himself. If you want happiness, go after it.

    Full of Hollywood tackiness. All the losers, the fallen, and all the people at the bottom can get a kind of illusory and superficial spiritual comfort in it. But please be sober, you may not have a shrewd mathematical mind, may not be good at words, you may be useless, can you still succeed? This Hollywood-style heroism actually uses a coincidental particularity to blind the universality of life, thereby achieving a kind of pseudo-humanity.

    A little disappointed... I feel that I am inspiring for the sake of inspiration... If it weren't for the director and actor's skills, it would have been reduced to a clichéd inspirational movie...

The Pursuit of Happyness quotes

  • Christopher: [while walking past a bus and to sell a bone density scanner] Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said "Do you need help?" and the man said "God will save me". Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said "God will save me", then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, "God, why didn't you save me?" and God said "I sent you two boats, you dummy!"
