A Review of The Pursuit of Happiness

What is happiness? Money? Fame? Authority? Maybe many people think if they own these things, they will be happy, but I don’t think so. I think it’s hard to make a definition of happiness. Happiness consists in our daily life, sometimes only a smile. One of my favourite movie is The Pursuit of Happiness, it is a inspirational film, it’s really a big shock to me, and the strong power in Chris influencing me all the time, especially in this time that I will enter the society and start to work.

This movie is based on a true story of the famous of self-made millionaires Chris Gardner. He is a clever salesman, his wife, Linda, because can not endure the pressure of breadwinners and left him, leaving only him and 5-year-old son. His bank account with only 21 dollars, because no money to pay the rent, he and his son had been thrust out of the apartment. They are homeless at night, sleep in shelters, subway stations, public bathrooms, and all you can for time being housed in open spaces. Then he got the stock at a prominent investment company the chance to practice, however, there is no salary during the intership,90% of the people have no ultimate success. But he understands that it’s his last chance, so to his son’s future, in order to their own beliefs, he insists on! Finally, Chris eventually become a successful investment professional.

The Pursuit of Happiness is really an excellent movie, after watching it, I can’t calm my heart down for a long time, there are tears on my face, but smile in my heart, I think Chris is a good example for all of us, just be optimistic and go to realize your dream.Through this film, I learned a lot.

(1)Responsibility

In this film, firstly, in order to support his family, Chris works every day for make more money. A plot of this film moved me a lot. In order to catch up with the lost scanners, Chris was knocked down by a car.He looked for his shoe groveling on the road without checking himself being hurt or not.Is shoe so important for him?Sure,

as for a man whose account was only 21 dollars, it can be easily understood such crazy behavior made by him. He do everything just for his family,however, his wife, because of the life pressure, left him,leaving only him and 5-year-old son. For his son,he bears the responsibility, he find a job and never give up of the troubles. When we come into the society,we shuold bear many responsibilities. At that time, we are not a child, Everything must be done in a new way.

(2)Do not give up

Chris failed his business, his wife abandoned him, he and his son are homeless,but he is not give up.On the contrary, suffering let him become more self-confident, self-improvement, when happiness comes, he seizes that belongs to own happiness. In the world, everyone will be in trouble, but the attitude is different. Maybe somebody will give up, others will insist on. But In my view, we should insist on and have a positive attitude to do everything. For me, two years of study life is coming to an end, I will start to work next month. Chris will be my role model, his spirit will encourage me forever.

(3)Achieve our dreams

Chris is a man with purpose.He said that got a dream, you gotta protect it.He encouraged his son “don’t let somebody tell you, you can’t do something.”I think this sentence was said to himself too. Everyone has a dream,but only a tiny percentage of individuals will allow their dreams to fruition. Life is fair to everyone, no pains no gains, if you have a dream, you should create a plan to achieve it. If you do, you will not regret it.

When you are in distress, please do not give up. You must believe that as long as you don’t give up, the door of happiness will open to you. Next month, I will enter into the society and start to work, Chris will be my role model, his spirit will encourage me forever. I believe one day I will become a successful person like Chris.
