towards happiness

"When Happiness Comes Knocking", this name is translated extremely badly. According to the original title of The Pursuit of Happyness, and the scenes of many male protagonists running in the movie, I call it "Running to Happiness".
As recognized by many people, this is an aspirational film, which seems to hint to every viewer: as long as you are good enough, work hard enough, and persevere enough, happiness will eventually come. When the male protagonist was told to become a securities broker, his expressions and actions were touching and happy. I believe that everyone will look forward to such a moment, and many people have experienced similar moments. Then, revisit Such a shot is undoubtedly a catalyst for courage and perseverance, because the viewer will always try to identify himself as a character in the story.
From another point of view, the words and deeds of the male protagonist have undoubtedly set an example for every job seeker. He's smart, creates random opportunities to meet high-level executives; the interview looks reminiscent of the reality of a show that seems unavoidable; he always smiles when he speaks.
Maybe, this is the right movie to watch at the right time, and I don't know why I chose this one and downloaded it. More worth remembering than the ending of the comedy at the end are the hardships in between.

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!"
