Everyone has different definitions of happiness. However, no matter what connotation happiness is endowed with, if you want to really get happiness, you should pursue it. After all, no happiness is at your fingertips. As a result, many films about the theme of "pursuing happiness" have been drawn out. The Pursuit of Happyness is one of the inspirational films worth watching, which inspires people to work hard and pursue their own happiness.
The English film The Pursuit of Happyness is called The Pursuit of Happiness. In fact, the literal translation is "the pursuit of happiness", and such a Chinese title may be clear at a glance. Personally, I prefer "The Pursuit of Happyness". This kind of free translation makes the film more profound. I remember at the end of the film, when Chris and his son were strolling along the street and chatting happily together, there was a sudden knock on the door, but the father and son didn't know anything about it and walked away, leaving only happy laughter in the air. After watching the end of this film, I realized more clearly the meaning of the title: happiness will come only after such a long and bumpy road. The premise of "happiness knocks on the door" is "knocking hard" until "happiness after knocking on the door" Only when you knock hard on the door of the happy residence, until it opens, will happiness be willing to go back and knock on your door. Happiness comes unconsciously, and it cares for those who strive for it.
The hardships experienced by the protagonist Garner Chris in the film The Pursuit of Happyness are felt by the audience. A bumpy road of pursuing happiness is fully displayed in front of the audience, and the audience is moved.
Garner is a man who has passed his thirties, but in order to support his family, he has to continue to be a tired salesman, selling medical instruments that nobody cares about. His life is tense, heavy and boring, and he is like a slave who is oppressed all the time. But he had to squeeze into the bustling crowd and fall into the endless torrent of busy.
there are more and more white silk in his hair. He was overwhelmed by life, and his face was stiff and gaunt. The fragment about "pursuing happiness" in the Declaration of Independence at the beginning of the film seems to give the film a sunny atmosphere. However, when Garner, who was forced to collapse by the heavy life, watched his wife choose to leave, his face was streaming in the rain, and he could not tell whether it was rain or tears. He said: "Happiness can only be pursued, but it can never be pursued!"
is he desperate? He can't and won't! For the sake of his son Topher and a certain belief in his heart, he made a choice: to use his sensitivity to numbers to achieve the goal of becoming a high-paying investment broker. He knows that this door is extremely difficult to open and will fail at any time. However, if you don't pursue it, you will never reach it! He knows better than anyone.
In the film, Garner picked out several parts of his life: taking the bus, being stupid, catching up, internship, paying taxes, being exhausted, and happiness. "Happiness", he said, is a small part of his life. However, even though happiness seems short, he is willing to do everything to pursue it.
In the process of Gana's hard knocking on the door of happiness, I was particularly impressed by the sight of him chasing after the accidental loss of medical equipment three times and five times. Whether chasing the hippie girl or the madman, he ran like hell to catch up. From it, what I see is Garner's persistence. Perhaps "medical instrument" also implies "happiness" to some extent. Because from the beginning, Garner put his hopes on this instrument-"instrument" is a bridge connecting happiness. Instead, he was disappointed, but he persisted after a bolt from the blue, although it seemed useless. "Instrument" really became a big part of his life, and he didn't want to give up, so he pursued it. The instruments that used to be boring to almost everyone were sold after several twists and turns, and they were miraculously sold in the end. This contrast of film setting, its strong contrast deepens its connotation. It should be said that the advantages and disadvantages of "instruments" are the second, and the most important thing is Garner's persistence. In his persistent sales promotion, we also vaguely see the dawn of happiness.
Actually, another point is reflected in The Pursuit of Happyness: "Hold on!" Grab what? Seize every opportunity that can knock on the door of happiness. Just like Garner deliberately took a taxi with Jay Tostel and turned the Rubik's Cube in the car, which showed his mathematical talent and was recommended by Jay. Opportunities can only be seized by hard work. Even if the chance is slim, as long as you persist, as Garner insists and believes that he can turn the Rubik's Cube well, you will eventually gain something.
Also, another episode that deeply touched me was that Garner ran to interview in clothes covered with paint. When I was painting the wall, I also painted "Chris, you suck!" " Mingming was arrested and detained for delaying taxes; Obviously unkempt, sad and depressed. However, he was able to shake off his depression. He said, "Send my son back!" Topher gave him strength, right? It was his spiritual pillar. His running all the way is desperate to the other side of happiness. When the interviewer said, "Suppose someone came to the interview without a formal suit and I hired him, what would you say?" "Then his pants must be very good!" I was a little surprised by the strange but humorous answer, but Garner was really optimistic, confident and creative to react in such an embarrassing moment.
The pursuit of happiness is often a lonely process, which tests a person's resilience under pressure. When Garner hesitated and even felt depressed, we found that the background music was lively and even passionate. Our inner feelings seem to find it hard to accept such a strong contrast, but if we think about it carefully, isn't this the reality? Others don't know your hard work, and the busy people are surging as always, and will not stop for you for a moment; The sun is still shining and the weather is still fine, but your world is clouded. For Ghana, this is also the situation. Only you know your own hardships, and your own happiness can only be pursued by yourself! No one else can interpret your dreams instead of you! Test your own hands and fight for it! These are probably what Garner realized.
We can see that when Garner was hired, his joy was beyond words. His eyes were red and he was about to cry. He walked confidently out of the office, out of the company and into the bustling crowd. He couldn't help but open his mouth and want to shout. He held his fist against his lips, then clapped his hands and laughed. He rushed to pick up his son, directly picked up Topher, hugged her tightly, and then cried. A series of actions, without words, gave me a great impact, which is the infection of happiness externalization.
the bitter rain of sorrow has turned into the showers of happiness. Ghana's pursuit of happiness is simple and pure-living a good life with her son, material and spiritual happiness. He knocked on the door of happiness, and happiness will come to visit.
