Comment on Happyness's Pursuit: 3000 words.
The movie Chasing Happyness is adapted from Chris &; Middot Gardner's autobiography of the same name is a typical American inspirational story. This film was made by Garils S&; Middot Musino was filmed in San Francisco and Oakland in 2005, and was first released in June 5438+February 65438+May 2006. In the same year, Musino won many honorary titles, such as Oscar (American Academy of Music Award), Global Award, American Young Audience Vote Award, American Children's Choice Award, Radio and Film Critics Association Award, MTV Film Award and so on.
The theme of the film revolves around black Chris &; How does middot Gardner overcome adversity and seek happiness? In the 1980s, the Vietnam War, which lasted 12 years, just ended seven years ago. As a result of the war, the national economy was depressed and the people's lives were miserable. Coupled with the long-term influence of slavery, racism and racial discrimination, compared with whites, African Americans as a whole, as 1, obviously cannot get equal use of social resources and are equally oppressed in politics, economy, education, health and other fields. Middot Gardner's son's kindergarten is enough to see that this is 1 a kindergarten that can't even write happiness. My son didn't learn the knowledge he deserved during school, but watched the so-called historical films "The Cowboy of Bonanza" and "The Boat of Love" shown by the school administrator. Chris, who loves his son, discussed with the school to protect his young mind from infringement, but was ruthlessly rejected. In desperation, he had to swallow this resentment back into his stomach. It is in this context of 1 that Chris &; Middot Gardner embarked on a journey to find happiness.
Chris didn't meet his father until he was 28 years old & middot Gardner said that if you have a son, you must let him know his name. Chris, who lacked fatherly love since childhood, left an image of 1 full of fatherly love for the audience. At the beginning of the film, people are presented with such a set of shots: through the bustling crowd, Chris &; Middot Gardner lay on his son's bedside to wake up his sleeping son and send him to kindergarten. When he left the kindergarten, he pointed out to the cleaning staff that the word 1 was misspelled on the graffiti wall. "There is no Y in happiness, this is me", which is why the title of the film "Pursuing Happiness" did not change Y to I, which implied this meaningful scene in the film and pointed out that happiness is our own pursuit.
After leaving kindergarten, Chris began a busy day. As he himself said, this is part of his life, that is, "taking the bus." At the station, he met a psychopath and kept pointing at the heavy instrument in his hand, saying that it was a time machine, funny actions and language, which made Chris smile. He explained to the audience that this instrument is called portable bone density scanner. Not long ago, Chris and his wife spent all their savings to buy these musical instruments and prepared to sell them. In high spirits, Chris thought he would make a lot of money and take a photo with his wife in front of the instrument. However, Chris found in the sales that although this instrument is more accurate than the X-ray instrument, few hospitals are willing to buy it because of its high price. Without savings, I only rely on my wife to work to maintain the vitality of my family, which has made this once harmonious family suffer all kinds of hardships. My wife complained to Chris at home that she had worked two jobs for four months in a row, but she still owed two months' rent. Chris, who has no income, explained to his wife, "Everything will be fine." But the oppression of life made the poor woman collapse several times, except complaining that she couldn't listen to Chris' comfort.
Chris, who got lost, was walking in the crowd and happened to meet a stockbroker. From him, Chris learned that to be an excellent stockbroker, you don't need to go to college, you just need to be proficient in numbers and be able to behave yourself. Looking at the people walking around, they all smiled 1, and a small question came to Chris's mind: "Why do they look so happy?" Why do I look unhappy? " This is the first time he thought of the word "happiness". Yes, the long-term struggle at the bottom line of life made the black man lose his happiness, leaving him only sadness and pain. But the desire for happiness makes us feel a ray of light inside Chris. We also believe that as long as there is hope in our hearts, Chris will eventually find his own happiness.
Hopefully, Chris got into Dean &; MiddotRenos company broker internship training room, got the internship application form. Interestingly, when he got the internship application form, he saw through the window that his portable bone scanner was taken away by the hip-hop girl he regarded as the caregiver. After saying goodbye, Chris caught up with the girl in a hurry. Chris stood out from the crowd with his tall head and dark skin, but he didn't take back the scanner in the end. Angry Chris slapped the subway window, which he called "stupid" in a self-deprecating tone.
However, all the efforts made by Chris are in the eyes of his wife. He thinks that being a stockbroker is just like being an astronaut. His wife's contempt made Chris bear a heavier psychological burden, and he continued to pursue his dreams unremittingly. In order to get the internship opportunity, he waited at the gate of Witt Company for 1 more than a month, and strived for a way out for himself in various ways.
1 In the bleak night, Chris learned from the public phone that his wife couldn't stand everything about him and decided to leave. Hang up the phone, he lowered his head and inadvertently saw "Thomas &; Middot Jefferson's head, from which he remembered the description of the right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence. This is the second time Chris talked about happiness, thinking, "How did he know to put&; Lsquo pursues happiness &; Put in the part of rsquo, maybe happiness can only be pursued, but it will never be pursued. "This time, his understanding of happiness is more profound and touching, but he has a trace of sadness beyond the reach of dust. Happiness has always been sought after by people. Different people experience different lives, so the thinking about happiness will vary from person to person. But personally, I think that people's emotions are realized through comparison. When they experience pain that others have never experienced, they will taste several times more happiness than others. Perhaps, Chris's pain at this time is just to usher in a sweeter happiness.
After his wife left, Chris in pain encountered more severe tests, such as the landlord's difficulties, the detention caused by bus tickets and so on. This is the third stage of Chris's life "catching up" or "running", and it is also the most difficult period in his life. Thanks to Chris' sincerity, eloquence and the help of 1 Little Rubik's Cube, he finally got an interview. But the night before the interview, he was detained at the police station because he didn't pay the bus fare. Covered in white paint stains, he forgot to clean up and appeared in front of the interviewer in plain clothes. In the face of the interviewer's spite and ridicule, Chris said frankly, "I am such a person." You ask a question, I don't know the answer, I'll tell you directly &; Lsquo I don't know &; Rsquo But I promise you, I know how to find the answer, and I will find it. " The interviewer said in a slightly provocative tone, "If we interview someone who doesn't even have a shirt and finally hire him, what do you think will be the reason?" "Then his pants must be very particular." Clever and honest Chris persuaded the interviewer to get an internship.
After getting the internship, Chris realized that the internship was unpaid and there was no guarantee that he would give 1 more formal jobs after six months. In other words, if you are not hired after six months, it means that everything you have done in the past six months has been in vain, and you may have nothing. Chris didn't give up this rare opportunity. While selling portable bone scanners as a source of livelihood, he did his best for the internship. These six months have been extremely difficult for Chris. Unable to pay the rent, he was kicked out of the motel by the landlord. He once took his son to stay in the subway public toilet for one night. However, Chris gave his son 1 a wonderful night in a humorous way. Looking at his sleeping son, Chris finally burst into tears. The oppression of life made this kind-hearted young man suffer several times: in order not to pay the expensive taxi fare, he jumped out of the car and ran away; In order to get his scanner back, he lost a shoe in the car, so he insisted on not going to the hospital and going back to work. In order to save time by not drinking water or going to the toilet, it takes 6 hours to complete the 9-hour workload of others; In order to get back the loan of 14 dollars, I don't hesitate to turn against my friends, and so on. We have to feel sorry for Chris, and we know that what Chris has suffered is beyond the endurance of ordinary people.
Despite all the hardships around him, Chris still has faith. When playing basketball with his son, he said to his son, "don't let others tell you that you can't be a talent, not even me." If you have a dream, you must defend it. If you have an ideal, you must work hard to achieve it. " As he himself said, Chris proved everything with his own actions. On the last day of internship, he was told that becoming a full-time employee stood out among many applicants. Without high education, my wife left, was detained, lived in public toilets, slums, sold instruments, and even sold blood for a living. All the previous events have become a precious past at this moment, leaving Chris with the reward he deserves. Excited Chris had tears in his eyes, packed his things with trembling hands and rushed out of the company. He couldn't restrain his joy and applauded himself. God always cares for those tireless people, and Chris's dream of "happiness" has finally come true.
The film has no visual impact, no beautiful pictures, only 1 meaningful stories, which are simple and natural. In the first person's tone, the film describes the four stages of the protagonist's life, namely "taking the bus", "being stupid", "exhausted" and "being happy". Because the story is close to life, it makes the audience feel intimate. Most importantly, it has aroused the determination of thousands of Qian Qian people to pursue their dreams and urged them to keep moving forward.
visual angle
This movie has been recommended to me for a long time, but the name sounds like a TV series version of << Knocking on the door for happiness >>. It should be some boring movies about family chores, and I thought about it from the beginning. Besides, this is an American movie, and my desire to see it is greatly reduced. I can't help others' hard work, and finally decided to have a good look today. "Anyway, if it doesn't look good, I will close it immediately, and I won't lose anything." I thought. However, I never dreamed that it was really difficult to find a broken movie. Not on PPS, nor on potatoes, but on Youku, which lasted for more than an hour and finally found it on Baidu. My joy at that time! However, who knows, it will be glued to death. Buffer it I read it again and again, but it's still not good. At that time, I simply hated the bastard who let me watch this movie. But I'm really a bitch. The more impossible, as long as you do it, you will never give up. Finally, I was forced to watch it paragraph by paragraph. Scrambling together, I watched the audio for a while and watched it silently for a while. Anyway, I just finished watching this film! Now that I think about it, it's worth it. The purpose of writing this experience is to tell you that this movie is really good and will benefit you a lot! ! ! ! )
I don't know the background of this film, and I don't know Will &; Middot Smith, oh, no, never heard of it, to be exact. It is in such an ignorant state that I watched this movie with a less pious heart at first. I don't know if I am too easily moved or if this film is really moving. I shed tears several times in the process. I seem to have set the plot on me and I can't pull it out.
The movie poster The Pursuit of Happiness is based on a true story. The protagonist of the story is chris gardner, an American black investment expert. It successfully explains the inspirational story of a bankrupt salesman and his wife who ran away from home, how to work hard as a single parent, try to become a stock market trader and finally become a well-known financial investor.
In the film, Smith plays a 40-year-old general medical device salesman: Chris. He works hard, but he can't give his family a good life. After all, his wife Linda left Chris because she couldn't stand the trouble of daily necessities and the pressure of raising a family, leaving him alone with her 5-year-old son. Career failure and poverty, and became a single father, Chris's bank account is only 2 1 yuan! Life seems to have cornered him. The unconditional trust and love of a sensible son is his only wealth, and no one else can take it away from him! Chris middot Gardner and his son also lost their homes because of extreme poverty and lived a life of running around. He sold bone density scanners and worked as an intern. Later, he had to wait in line at the church to get a house from the church. But Chris &; Middot Gardner has always been optimistic and taught his son not to lose heart. Because of extreme poverty, Chris &; Middot Gardner even sells blood. Chris & middot Gardner finally stood out by his own efforts, found a job as a stockbroker, and later founded his own company.
I am a lesbian and will be a mother in the future. I used to think that maternal love is great, and even if it is great, paternal love will come second. I watched the news the other day and saw that a mother in the "Wenzhou July 23 incident" was willing to break her arm in order to save her youngest son. I also proudly showed off to my brother: "Look, it's mom, it's great maternal love. Why haven't I read an article about great fatherly love? " Now that I think about it, I'm really ashamed. Everyone expresses love in different ways. Generally speaking, it should be that fatherly love is more implicit, while maternal love is more obvious.
In the movie Pursuit of Happyness, his wife Linda finally left Chris, leaving him alone and her 5-year-old son because she couldn't stand the trouble of daily necessities and the pressure of bringing home the bacon. This kind of scene is not uncommon in our life. Here, I want to question this kind of person: "For you, is it really like what people often say:" Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately? "Since you can't share the joys and sorrows, why choose to go together? Marriage is not simple, just like in love novels, there are only coffee, roses and chocolate all day. Marriage is a mixture, including sweet, sour, bitter, salty, rice, oil and salt, vinegar tea, living happily together and never giving up in adversity. However, how many people really did it? When you are happy, you are husband and wife and love each other. When disaster strikes, they are birds flying separately. What kind of social disease is this? With the development of economy and social progress, the divorce rate in China is soaring. How many people with a little money, especially business people, will stay with their original wives for a long time? Is the pace of social evolution too fast, or am I behind the times? I don't know and I don't want to know.
Chris made me understand that everyone has the freedom to choose. Frank said: "In any extreme environment, people will always have the last freedom, that is, the freedom to choose their own attitude." In fact, any one of us can create our own life and change our status as long as we have a dream and enough will and determination. I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, we will succeed. I remember what Chris said to my son: "Don't let others tell you that you can't be a talent, not even me." If you have a dream, you have to defend it. Those who have accomplished nothing want to tell you that you can't achieve great things. Since there is an ideal, we must work hard to achieve it. " Since life is full of countless unknowns, why should we surrender prematurely before the war of life has started? There is a saying in Forrest Gump that life is like a box of chocolates, and no one knows which one you will pick up. So, be firm in your idea that you will succeed and keep working in this direction. A man without a firm idea is like a walking corpse, and his life is doomed to tragedy like a cup of boiled water without any waves. We may not have the right to choose what kind of life we live, but we can choose our own mentality. Face life positively. Even if life is hard, at least we are rich in spirit.
As Hemingway said in the preface of The Sun Also Rises, most people in this world are confused. We only comfort ourselves because there may be a God in heaven. In the United States in the early 1980s, five years after the end of the war, this society began to slowly let the depression of the war gradually recover. Black, broken marriage, little education. The protagonists with these backgrounds are enough to reflect the reality and cruelty of contemporary American society. Emerson once said that in America, spirit and wealth will never be equal. But looking around, everyone is smiling and looks happy. As Chris in the film always said to his children and wife, "We will get better, we will get better!" While playing basketball, he also said, "Son, you must protect your dreams." At that moment, I understood that a happy family and children are his true beliefs &; Mdash& ampmdash There is no literary red tape here, only a warm and bright Dong Yang who loves his father.
The first book I read at my sister-in-law's house &; There is a saying in mdash& ampmdash's The Unbearable Lightness of Life: Life often makes us feel hard, and it will let us witness the distortion and deformation of life under various pressures countless times. So we can see that there is a father on the outer wall of the polite kindergarten. He can't tolerate fuck's graffiti, but he is driven like a mad dog by life: he doesn't pay the taxi fare, and it's rude to cut in line for fourteen dollars. Struggling at the bottom of society for too long, the instinct of survival inadvertently castrated virtue. appreciate
Other people's lives are so exquisite, but their own are so violent. Happiness knocks gently on the door, but misfortune and disaster rudely kick it away. So we often say that if you miss love and happiness, disasters and misfortunes will haunt you like hooligans on the roadside. They don't usually pass by casually. Life is bitter and tears are salty. Selling those white "time machines" is not enough to maintain a good life, but it is enough to attract the attention of hippie girls and mental patients. Globalization has shrunk people, while movies have enlarged people. Antonioni's words exhausted the charm of film art, and we lost the focus of attention, but we still have enough appetite for money and materials.
I watched the movie with bitter tears and happy tears! I deeply realize that happiness is not only a hope, but also a belief. If you lose your way in the search for happiness, or feel depressed because happiness is hard to capture, then Happyness is your best choice.
A Review of Pursuing Happyness
The pursuit of happiness, when I saw this name, I thought, this story must have a happy ending, and the story that can be seen at a glance may not be wonderful. But for me, who is in the hesitation period of my career and I don't know the direction of advance and retreat, I have given endless encouragement at the moment.
The prototype of this film comes from a document in 2003.
Although there are still many flaws in the film, these do not affect people's positive evaluation of it. For Chris, he is a good husband who dares to face the reality and take on family responsibilities. Is a good father who always protects his children and strives to create happiness and happiness for them. A good man who never gets discouraged in the face of adversity and works hard for happiness. As far as this plot is concerned, this is a touching father-son story, and it is also a microcosm of greatness and diligence shown in adversity. After watching this movie, I asked myself a natural question: Can I do it? Can I endure and face so many sufferings and misfortunes like Chris? I remembered the famous saying of Dozzi Pincuo: Cowards are worn away in the face of difficulties and hardships; A brave man will sharpen his will. In the face of reality, he may be a brave man, but I have become a coward.
Chris's success lies not only in his diligence and open mind, but more importantly, he can recognize the essence of the whole event, and he doesn't care about making decisions. Once he has made a decision, he will definitely work hard and will never give up easily. Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, he should face it calmly. My summary of Chris' success is as follows:
Being able to define your life goals, a life without goals is like a kite with a broken line, and you can't find the center of gravity. The goal is the real determination to expect to achieve your career. How to set goals, you can't daydream, which is somewhat unrealistic, and you can't be too quiet about the inherent life orientation in the past. You have to make a new plan for your life at the right time, according to the basic points of life and constantly changing due to the environment, in order to be truly successful. Chris's original dream was to realize his life goal by selling the so-called "time machine", but in the end he found it was a mistake. This kind of product sales that can't adapt to the contemporary society can not only change his current predicament, but push himself step by step into the abyss of failure. Only another way may be the only way for him to change his current poor life. Through understanding brokers, combined with their actual situation, I finally determined my career goal-stockbroker. In his view, becoming a broker has two elements: mathematics and interpersonal relationship, and mathematics. Although he has no interpersonal relationship at present, he believes that good interpersonal relationship can be established through good communication skills. This is also the premise that he believes he can become a qualified broker.
Being good at seizing opportunities, Gorky said that people who are good at using opportunities can only get it all over the world. Opportunity is created by God, and the expected opportunity is not equal to the created opportunity. Half of a person's success is opportunity. Once the opportunity is lost, it will be a lifelong regret. Seizing every opportunity to prove one's ability is the starting point to achieve the goal. Chris just caught this, happened to meet Mr. Torstel on the road, and showed him his ability by playing magic. Finally, he was appreciated by those people and became a powerful promoter of his internship. In my opinion, on the road of life, we will wait for opportunities through our own efforts, but the most exciting opportunities also have shortcuts. Writer Liang once told the top secret of some lucky people's success. He said: some people catch the express train of opportunity and go with the wind; Some missed it and regretted it for life; Some people fail to realize their talents all their lives and bury them silently. So when opportunity knocks, don't hesitate to open the door, or it will knock on someone else's door.
Make a decisive decision about the difficulties you encounter, and you will be uneasy about it. Conceptual thinking determines life, and choice determines success or failure. On the long road of life, how to choose may really make people hesitate, but the limited time will definitely not give us too much room for thinking. Sometimes, we have to make a decisive decision. If Chris is at a loss in the interview because he can't get the approval of the recruiter, then he won't get the internship opportunity. During his internship, Chris learned that he had no salary and the admission rate was only 1/20. If he could not decide whether to participate in internship training, he would never become a stockbroker. Although it is inevitable to hesitate to think, we should be more decisive and bold. When we feel ready, the opportunity may not belong to us, so as to minimize the regret caused by missing the opportunity and strengthen this sense of urgency! Because opportunities always slip away in our indecision.
Self-affirmation and Self-consolation in Adversity This film reminds me of Robinson's desert island for the rest of his life. In such a desperate situation, anyone must first solve their psychological problems and adjust their mentality before proceeding to the next step. This is Robinson's desperate situation, but he still found a reason to live. Like Robinson, Chris's feeling of life in the dinosaur era from the loss of being cleared out of the house by the landlord to sleeping in the subway station also shows that he can complete his psychological adjustment in a very short time and lay a good psychological foundation for his smooth survival in this city. His self-consolation is also worthy of recognition.
Interpersonal relationship is the key to Chris's success. As a broker, interpersonal relationship is very important. If you want to be an excellent broker, you must deal with the interpersonal relationship between him and his boss and colleagues. The most important thing is to have a good relationship with customers. Because you are a broker, not a student, interpersonal relationship is as important as sales performance in the workplace. Without good interpersonal relationships, you can't make good achievements. We can also have good performance and have a bad relationship with leaders. Chris has been building his own interpersonal relationship since his internship. In front of the boss, he often says hello to Frame and even lends money to Frame. Even if he is in a hurry to meet a client, he will help Frakes park the car. In the intense study on weekdays, he will never forget to help his colleagues do some trivial things. On the customer side, he also knows how to establish good interpersonal relationships with customers in different ways, such as home visits and telephone thanks. Because of the outstanding performance in interpersonal relationship and sales performance, it was recognized by the major shareholder Frame, so it was successful among the two people who got the highest score.
To be the best of yourself is to think about everything from your own point of view. At first glance, it seems easy to think that it is a narrow and selfish biased view, but it is not. After watching this movie, I know that this sentence encourages people to face their life with a positive attitude, and everything is in their own hands. Look at yourself objectively and see how to choose your own success and fight for it.
Chris made me understand that everyone has the freedom to choose. Frank said: in any extreme environment, people always have the last freedom, that is, the freedom to choose their own attitude. In fact, any one of us can create our own life and change our status as long as we have a dream and enough will and determination. I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, we will succeed. I remember Chris' words: Don't let others tell you that you can't be a talent, not even me. If you have a dream, you have to defend it. Those who have accomplished nothing want to tell you that you can't achieve great things, that is, if you have an ideal, you must work hard to realize it. Never let others tell you that you can do something. If you have a dream, protect it.
People can't do something by themselves, and they want to tell you that you can't do it either.
If you want something, get it. Period) The worst will end one day, or gradually return to the original state; Nothing is impossible unless you want to believe in yourself.
