[Reposted from WeChat Public Account Early Morning Movie]
This is an old classic film, but many people must have never watched it. Who said that foreign movies are tense, exciting, and mind-boggling? "When Happiness is Knocking" is not, it is warm, tough, and inspirational, which is completely different from the "Quick Excitement", "Resident Evil" and other blockbuster movies that are visual genres. "When Happiness is Knocking." "It's completely a kind of real life feedback. When life gives us something we didn't expect, then how do we find ourselves in a difficult situation and realize value.
"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" plot: Chris Garner (played by Will Smith) spent all his savings to buy a high-tech treatment device and sell it to hospitals everywhere, but the price is high and not many people accept it. Even if he tried hard to provide a good living environment for his wife and children, his wife (Sandy Newton Thandie Newton) finally chose to leave home. From then on, he took his son Christoph (Jaden Smith) to depend on each other. Chris finally got back an internship opportunity in a stock investment company. Even if he was not paid, the chance of success was only 5%. He still worked hard, and his son was his strength. He looked all his eyes, hiding with his son in the public toilet in the subway station, living in the shelter of the church... Still convinced that happiness will come tomorrow, and finally opened his own stock brokerage company and became a millionaire . Some people say that this film is a lifestyle film, reflecting the reality of family and affection. For his son, the male protagonist has never given up his efforts. It is also said that this movie is a good inspirational film, reminding those who are struggling in life as long as they do not give up on themselves and keep moving forward, then there must be a miracle in the future. In fact, this kind of life of male protagonists is also common in today's society. It is just that some people persist in working hard and constantly forge ahead to get through the difficulties, but some people struggle through the chaos. Different choices also mean different gains, but when you are at the lowest point, the kind of longing for success in your heart is worth sticking to. There is a clip in the film that the son’s doll is lost. A child who is only a few years old is very sad, and the hard and stubbornness on his father’s face is even more distressing. In a difficult life, food and clothing are a problem. He wants to take into account his own feelings, but the fact is that he can't do it. Only he knows the suffering in his heart. Even if the son is not happy anymore, it will still not affect the family relationship. They influence and support each other in difficulties. Whether in the street or in the asylum, the father and son have never given up their beliefs. , Encourage and comfort each other, don’t think that such a small child doesn’t understand that the child’s love for their parents even exceeds their parents’ love for their children.
When Chris became an employee of the investment company and had a job like everyone else, he was relieved at that moment, but at the same time he knew that if the opportunity came, he really needed to rely on himself. Persistence and hard work will definitely not be easier than before. So when he walked in the crowd and applauded for himself, the brilliance that really belonged to the struggle of human nature gleamed. This is saying goodbye to the past and applauding for your future. This is the heartfelt applause for restarting the road of life. In fact, there is another point. Chris was a black man in the film. He was discriminated against at that time. He was not well educated, his marriage and family were broken up, and his life was such a tragic life. This is the cruel reality. So when I saw the end, I just cried directly, and then the tears stopped. Inspiration is the embodiment of rising from the lowest valley to the top. This society has never been equal, whether it is spiritual or monetary, no matter how you don't want to admit it, it is also a fact. And we may not be as poor and declining as the protagonist in the film, nor have we reached such a low trough, but for ordinary people, we will definitely encounter such and other setbacks, investment failures, business failures, and emotional distress. Wait, and these are what life should be like! Without waves, how can life be called? What we can do is to stick to our beliefs and not give up our efforts when facing these setbacks, then one day we will come out of the trough and usher in our own wonderful life.
The protagonist in the film said quite a bit, "We will definitely get better." This sentence must be familiar to everyone, and many people must have said it. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to persist. It is better to say that this is a belief that can support oneself at any time and place. Only those who truly uphold this belief can finally live out of themselves. Although "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is an old film, it is definitely worth the second review, especially for friends who are now in a period of confusion. Through the film, they will definitely see the potential self who can also work hard to move forward. In the end, I will reap the abundance of myself.
