当幸福来敲门英语影评(原创)

Though I have seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” several times, it could still impressed me deeply when I watched it last semester. Due to the charm of this movie, I decided to write something in my winter vacation. Now, I’d like to analyze this movie from four aspects: the nature of the film, development of events, characters and the climate and the significance it leaves to us.

The nature of the film:

The movie is inspired by a true story of Chris Gardner, who managed to pull himself and his young son up in the early 80s. It shows us how the protagonist struggles for a better life and pursues his happiness. It is a motivational film. Development of events:

The story can be divided into six parts: riding the bus, being stupid, running, internship, paying taxes and happiness. First part introduces some basic information about protagonist’s life: everyday he tried his best to promote the equipment to doctors, but he could not earn enough for the rent and kindergarten--his life was not easy. In part two and three, in order to have a better life, Chris had to apply for a job as a stockbroker. We can call it the beginning of pursuing his happiness. The story developed in part four and five: Chris had to sell the equipment to paying all kinds of taxes while he got the job as a internship for six months without salary. Although there were many barriers, he carried on seeking for the happiness. The climax appeared in the sixth part: Chris became a successful stockbroker worker and he got the happiness.

The movie attracts us by describing the story step by step which is the basic element of a wonderful movie. After watching the movie, the whole life of Chris has been impressed in our minds.

Characters and the climate:

This movie is starred by Will Smith who is a admirable and famous actor. He plays the character Chris as an energetic and talented man who never gives up. Though the subject of the movie is serious, the whole atmosphere is rather positive, and the film releases the energy by the perfect performance of the actor. Also there are two other characters :Christopher and Linda. They are good supporting roles who foil

the characteristic of the protagonist.Seen from the delicate relationship with his wife, his life seemed to be so helpless, that reflected his personalities and determination to pursue happiness. On the other hand, love for his son let him continue to adhere to his ideal.

Significance:

Jefferson's Declaration of Independence had promised three important rights for every person, but the happiness among them cannot be guaranteed. In the film, Chris had to work very hard to lead his family into a good life. However, no matter how hard he tried, he still could not get a better life or even made worse:his wife left him due to financial problem. Although encountering so many setbacks, he still insisted on and pursued happiness. With his great efforts, he realized his dream and leaded a happy life.

There are some personalities accounting for his success: self-motivation, strong spirit and witty humor. Everyone yearns for success and happiness. So try to develop some advantages like Chris’s during our daily life while, in the meantime, we should believe that God is justice for us and happiness is not far from us.

There is no doubt that we all know that a mother’s love is great, however, this film also shows the greatness of a father. Under such heavy life pressure, Chris still paid much attention to his son’s education and tried his best to make his son happy and let him keep childlike innocence. Watching Chris and his son walked with hand in hand happily in the end of the film, I was moved. So, as a son or daughter, we should learn to be thankful for our parents in our daily life.
