Watched a powerful movie

I have watched The pursuit of happiness (Story of finding happiness/When happiness comes knocking on the door), I am sure that he is one of the outstanding movies in 2006, although he is not as human as Babel (Tower of Babel/Thongtian Tower), Saying the gimmick is not as good as The Departed (Infernal Affairs), and saying that it is not as powerful as An Inconvenient Truth. But he Heng sat in the top 5 of the movies produced in 2006 in my mind. Most of the scripts adapted from real people are inspirational. When I watched them, I had already hit the bottom in my heart. I told myself not to be too moved. It's a pity that I was so touched that I couldn't sleep at night. Although there were no tears in my eyes, a lot of energy was injected into my heart!

In this story of Will Smith and his son’s true love, Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith, mistakenly invested money in medical equipment that had no market to start his career. The originally hopeful and happy family followed Chris’s lack of lock sales performance. Declined, the car was detained, rent owed, and taxes owed. If it were not for the wife's desperate work for two consecutive shifts, the son's custody fee and three meals would have been lost! It's a pity that Chris is still talking about "no problem, we will get better", but an occasional opportunity gave him the opportunity to change his life. He met an excellent stockbroker, look at the famous and expensive Red RV, Chris decided to be a successful broker! But before he became a broker, his wife could no longer stand the poverty and left his father and son. Since then, Chris has lived with his son Christopher, and they were driven out of their homes and hotels without any money, and then reduced to sleep in the toilets of the station. I had no choice but to bring my luggage to the stock exchange every morning as an unpaid intern, and complete all the work faster than anyone else. I hope to get off work early and arrive at the asylum to wait for the bed. An Heng for a short night. The son is very well-behaved, although he occasionally feels uneasy, he doesn't complain. The two fathers and sons spent half a year living away from the shed. Chris has never doubted his pursuit at all during these half a year. He has been working hard to gain performance! In the end, he won back a job opportunity that only one of the 20 people could get, and relied on this transformation to embark on his broad road, and grasped the happiness of him and his son!

The overall feeling of the film is moving, but not too sensational. I was overjoyed by Will Smith’s performance. Maybe his opponent is his son. The feelings he showed are very natural and true, especially when the two of them are sleeping in the toilets of the station. Tears in his eyes hugged his son for fear of being awakened by someone outside the door. At that moment, I seemed to fully feel his self-blame and powerlessness towards himself, and this self-blame became the cornerstone of his struggling towards his goal; compared to the scene where he was hired, the tears in his eyes in the bathroom made him even more so. I am moved! The image is deeply imprinted in my mind, and it lasts for a long time.

The film no longer talks about how he made his fortune and now has a successful history of his own stock market. It is a good choice to end when he seizes the opportunity for success, and it fully responds to the name of the film. In fact, I don't quite agree with the happiness that Chris pursues. I don't even understand the powerful reason for his persistence in the stockbroking industry. Before I understand the industry, I will put my life on it. However, life is like this. We cannot fully understand or identify with others, but there is no reason to prevent others from pursuing their own goals.
